So we can’t guarantee our own citizens health care but we can pay everyone in Greenland $10,000/year? How is this “America First”, exactly? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

Here we go again. It’s like Groundhog Day.

Eric Adams got his corruption charges dropped. All it took was selling out New Yorkers to Donald Trump. We’re all tired of this spineless, failed mayor, but remember: Andrew Cuomo is running for Adams' 2nd term. Same donors. Same chaos. Just a new Trump ally in Gracie Mansion.

👏👏👏 Let’s give Josh Weil & Gay Valimont a huge round of applause for running stellar races and tightening the fuck out of the Florida margins, sending Trump and the GOP a huge warning sign! The people are not happy. cc: @joshweil.bsky.social @gayforcongress.bsky.social

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for standing for moms & working families as Trump and Republican leadership try to take away our healthcare (Medicaid), childcare (Headstart), our vote (#HandsOffHerVote), our vaccines and research, and more just to given more tax breaks to the already ultra-wealthy.

I'm seeing a lot of cynical reactions to this move from Cory Booker. And I get it!! But performative opposition is a necessary part of effective opposition from the minority. Not sufficient, but necessary. And our electeds need to know we notice when they do well and not just when they do poorly.

I feel like this tweet did not get enough attention this week

The incompetence of this administration is astounding.

Trump telling Muslim voters in Michigan the day before the election that he loves Muslims and he just wants peace in Gaza.

Great news for marriage equality. Many red state legislatures copy each other and pass similar bills. ND may have stopped the domino effect on marriage equality in red states. We’ll see.

NEWS: After an emergency meeting of Indivisible groups across the country, Indivisible is officially calling on Senate Minority Leader Schumer to step down from his leadership position. indivisible.org/statements/i...

Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

This story demonstrates we have moving further into fascism. It really is unbelievable, and my hope is that it exposes the corruption of our Govt. #crime #coryMills #corruption politicalwire.com/2025/02/24/a...

For those of us who are disgusted about the mass firing of federal employees by the Trump administration, we should start raising funds to help these workers during difficult times. It would show that we as an opposition movement to Trump are concerned about workers and their well-being.

My letter to Gov Hochul today part_1 I am writing to express my deep concern over Mayor Adams’s disregard for conflicts of interest and his persistent lack of transparency. @friendsofgovhochul.bsky.social #mayorAdams #nyc

It seems almost unavoidable at this point that we are headed for a deep, deep recession. Just based on 200K+ federal firings & pullback of contracts, the March employment report (to be released April 4) seems certain to show bigger job losses than any month ever outside of a few in 2008-9 and 2020.

Fixed it

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.
