Funny how the paperwork only matters when it’s a woman or minority voter.

Don’t let the arrest of a Federal Judge distract you from the announcement that ICE can enter anyone’s home without a warrant to look for migrants.

NEW: Statement from attorney for Judge Dugan. "Hannah C. Dugan has committed herself to the rule of law and the principles of due process for her entire career as a lawyer and a judge. Judge Dugan will defend herself vigorously, and looks forward to being exonerated."

Imagine if another country’s president was cracking down on the opposition party’s fundraising mechanism “to cripple their opponents’ political infrastructure” Authoritarianism is here. 🇺🇸 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

Exclusive: The Pentagon will resume gender-affirming care for transgender service members, according to a memo we obtained.

Kash Patel is bragging about arresting a sitting judge in Wisconsin. Seems mighty fashy to me. Where are all of those people who were screeching about "weaponized government" under Biden? 🦗

"The Partnership for Public Service, which studies the federal workforce, has used budget figures to produce a rough estimate that Trump's firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers will cost upward of $135 billion this fiscal year." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

This is no longer the United States.

The difference between Canadians and other north Americans... I AM CANADIAN!! 🇨🇦

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

👏👏

“I’ll hook you up to a f—ing polygraph!” Hegseth shouted at Adm. Christopher Grady, the then-acting Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, according to two people familiar with the exchange. @wsj.com www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Trump’s organization is out here selling Trump 2028 hats like the Constitution is just a suggestion. Reminder: The 22nd Amendment exists. You can’t run for a third term.

China is treating the orange felon like the moronic unhinged buffoon that he is and is using his temper tantrums against him. How embarrassing.

Singh: But absolutely, it was the Secretary of Defense—it was Pete Hegseth—who was at fault here. He’s the one who put classified information into those chats, both of them. So yes, he should absolutely resign.

I know from my days as an Army Ranger that when America isolates ourselves, Americans are less safe.

See the problem here?

This is correct from @joeweisenthal.bsky.social

Jennifer Vasquez Sura, wife of Kilmar Abrego García, was moved to a safe house with her kids after DHS posted her home address on X. “I don’t feel safe when the government posts my address...for everyone to see,” she told The Washington Post. www.latintimes.com/wife-kids-ab...

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

I read it…

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Love this. Not only is the University of Alabama not bending the knee for Trump, they basically said “f*ck off.”

Phillip: But as the economy is suffering, new polls are showing that his support is in fact eroding, particularly among young men. And it's lies like these that people aren't buying anymore.

Taking the drug made one writer feel so sick she quit and focused on healthy habits instead of her body size. Turns out, 65% of people using GLP-1 drugs for weight loss quit within a year.

FLEXPORT: “.. In the 3 weeks since the tariffs took effect, ocean container bookings from China to the United States are down over 60% industry wide.” #SummerOfScarcity 🇺🇸

Walz: An hour by hour day by day basis, the President has chosen, chosen to throw our economy into turmoil. We are talking about a guy that slapped a 10% tariff on an island populated only by penguins. It would be funny as hell if it wasn't true and stupid.

NEW: Rümeysa Öztürk's lawyers argue strongly against keeping her detained in Louisiana during the govt's appeal. www.aclum.org/sites/defaul...

💥 A whole slew of Americans are finally waking up. Via - Pew Research

This is really really scary and bad www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 #WhatComesNext?

Al Gore ripped the Trump administration to shreds in a speech Monday at a climate week event in San Francisco.

What folks love about @repjasmine.bsky.social is simple—she keeps it real. No sugarcoating, no political gymnastics. She says what the rest of us are thinking but don’t have the mic to say out loud. She’s right—this is a “nightmare”. And we need more voices like hers, calling it out—no apologies!

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

This is also a remarkable statement from a prominent journalist who himself works for a large wealthy corporation. “Hope you enjoy the money, Shari.”

💥 BREAKING: Goldman Sachs shareholders voted today to reject two anti-DEI proposals, both by 98-2 percent. GS Board urged shareholders to vote to reject proposals. "We believe that diversity, including diversity of thought, experience and perspectives, is important to our commercial success."

This administration has fired crisis counselors for our veterans and now for kids. This bullshit doesn’t make us great. Any one of these calls could be life or death for a child. This senseless act of cruelty will kill people and they know it.

It's so odd that Christian Nationalists are trying to stomp out *pretend* "anti-Christian bias" when their repudiation of everything Jesus ever said is the biggest example of *real* "anti-Christian bias" in the United States right now.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent trying to walk it all back after alienating our allies: "I wish to be clear: America first does not mean America alone. To the contrary, it is a call for deeper collaboration and mutual respect among trade partners." The art of the cave. 🤦‍♀️

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

1. Jose Hermosillo is US citizen who was wrongly jailed in an immigration detention facility for 10 days The administration says he "turned himself in" to the Border Patrol and told them he was a Mexican who crossed the border illegally. I interviewed Hermosillo. He says the government is lying.

WATCH: Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social (D-Nashville) rips the CLARKSVILLE Rep. @AronMaberry (R) anti-DEI crusade, listing just a few instances of blatant racism in Tennessee in recent years that shows how badly DEI is still needed around here
