Sec. Pete Hegseth orders makeup studio installed at Pentagon, per CBS News www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth...

The US Constitution guarantees due process. Donald Trump is eroding it in real time – we must fight back to restore the balance of power. Today, I’m announcing a series of measures against El Salvador for aiding his unconstitutional deportation scheme.

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Hypocrisy Means Nothing To Him! He Embodies It Every Day…

The Deputy Secretary of Health and Human Services—Jim O’Neill—is a co-founder of the Thiel fellowship. As in Peter Thiel. 1/

I am tired of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth saying Warfighters and Warfighting. It sounds ridiculous. Don't let them control the narrative! It is time for reasonable people to push back and mock Pete Hegseth each time he says Warfighting.

Love Tim Walz.

💥 BREAKING: Levi Strauss shareholders voted today to reject a proposal calling on the company to cease / abolish all DEI efforts (tally TBD). LEVI Board: “Diversity and inclusion principles are critical in ensuring that our products reflect and are relevant to our diverse global consumer base.”

Toxicologist here! This will improve the health of zero Americans. Current synthetic food dyes are not causing health problems, and are often times used because they are actually safer than natural food dyes. Reminder that guns are the #1 cause of death of children but we are going to ban food dyes.

💥 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."

Kevin Kiley refuses to talk to his constituents about their health care and social security. Because he WON’T protect it. So, I went to Folsom and talked to them.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

BREAKING: MeidasTouch has won the Webby Award for 2025 Podcast of the Year! Thank you for this incredible honor. None of this would be possible without this incredible pro-democracy community. Shoutout to the Meidas Mighty!

This is not just about media that is critical of trump, trump wants to silence all media that speaks the truth. We are already being governed by a fascist, this is just the next step in solidifying his power. #WakeUp

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

This administration is so busy rounding people up based on skin color and (assumed) visa status that we’re literally delaying *lifesaving* breakthroughs in cancer research. This is “America First”? Detaining scientists while cancer patients wait for cures?

🚨 This is disgusting. 🚨 They’re willing to cut $880 billion in Medicaid for working people but are turning the blind eye to $500 billion in lost revenue from rich tax cheats. The system is completely rigged for the 1%. R-I-G-G-E-D.

NEW: In two weeks, the Education Department will resume involuntary collections for defaulted student loan borrowers for the first time since March 2020.

The first pope in history with a decent message about what makes you a good person: „The issue for those who do not believe in God is to obey their conscience. Sin, even for those who have no faith, exists when people disobey their conscience.“ RIP, Pope Francis.

Q: Who had money on Hegseth lasting less than 100 days? A: “All of us”

US Reps. Yassamin Ansari, Robert Garcia, Maxwell Frost, and Maxine Dexter arrived in El Salvador to urge the Trump Administration to comply with a Supreme Court order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Since Comer refused their request for a CODEL, this is not funded by taxpayer dollars. #ProudBlue

“Almost every night since October 2023, even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis made a daily phone call to the only Catholic parish in the Gaza Strip to check on their safety.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social on how Pope Francis was, to the horror of conservative Christians, a social justice pope.

The nationwide measles outbreak now stands at more than 800 cases, but you probably don’t know that since RFK Jr is keeping a tight lid on that news. The orange areas in the below map show where the vaccination rate is under the 95% coverage target among kindergarteners. That’s a LOT of orange!

Video from a former Rebel news correspondent, now whistleblower, describing how Ezra and others who work at Rebel News would create fake news, manipulate news or create incidents that they could report on as actual news. #cdnpoli

Portland, Maine reporting in!

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-NC) was politely asked "When's your next town hall meeting?" She said "Fuck you" and bragged that she would never be voted out of office. Maybe reposting her video will help. substack.com/@shero/note/...

I was talking to a teacher who works at a low-income school and was dreading the upcoming book fair. Me: Why? Her: Most of the students can’t afford to buy a book Me: Not this year Happy Easter

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

This is so important.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

Yes, it does.
