JUST IN: Trump taps Mike Waltz as UN ambassador after canning him as national security adviser

Need some facts.

Not a single possible justification for this breach of security. He’s an insecure show off.

Sex-neutral is OK as long as the physical standards set are relevant to the military job being sought. Carrying 100# is necessary for some combat roles but not all — eg, not needed to be a drone operator. I don’t trust this administration to see fair standards. You? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/u...

Hear @davidhogg.bsky.social out- Yes he will ruffle feathers. Democrats represent the people. Dems are working families; we believe in creating opportunity for all- but sometimes our message does not connect because people do not feel connected with our messengers. He’s trying to change that.

THREAD: There are a lot of questions about what we are doing and why we are challenging some incumbents at leaders we deserve- (No we are not just focused on primaries we also want to support young people running in red to blue seats to help win the majority)

Power protects power. Wealth protects wealth. It always has, and always will.🤷🏻‍♀️ thehill.com/homenews/cam...

A lesson to El Salvador: NEVER believe any assurance from Trump. They snookered him or were so incompetent as to put non-gang people on the plane. El Salv should send him back promptly with a bill. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/u...

SCOOP: Trump administration officials late last night began placing dozens of posters of arrested unauthorized immigrants along the White House driveway. The intent is for the posters to be visible behind TV journalists reporting from those positions.

An Executive Order signed in mid-March ordered the shut down of the Institute of Museum and Library Services, a federal agency with about 70 employees which provides funding for public libraries in every single state and territory. Publishers are foghting back. www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

Smithsonian denies artifact removal from African American history museum

Trump’s ICE deported 3 American kids. One is 4 years old with stage four cancer.
Another’s mom is pregnant. No meds. No prenatal care. No due process. This ain’t “tough on immigration”—it’s sick.

Down with a cold! Back tomorrow! Thank you for asking.

OPINION: 'Reality bites Donald Trump in the you know where': China contradicts the WH over tariffs @nicollewallace.bsky.social and panel discuss the crumbling confidence in Trump's handling of the economy as China pushes back against the official White House narrative.

Chinese officials have insisted that no tariff negotiations are occurring, even as President Trump — whose trade war has rattled financial markets and threatened to disrupt huge swaths of trade — suggested on Friday that he has been in touch with Xi Jinping.

There is a growing discomfort from federal judges that their security is handled by an agency that ultimately answers to President Trump, and whose funding, in their view, has not kept pace with rising threats.

Big news if true & a real confession of error for the administration

No attorney general should ever speak like this. She's Trump's advocate, not the people's lawyer, which is what the AG's job is. Whatever state she is barred in should start disciplinary proceedings immediately. This isn't subtle or arguable, it's wrong.

Senator Durbin has always fought for working families. He hasn't been afraid to stand up to powerful interests and championed the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I'm grateful for @durbin.senate.gov's years of service.

NEW: The Trump administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.

Who cares if the Trumps go to Pope Francis' funeral?

Uncertainty and sickness awaits our once fine country.
