We have at least one Democrat @rokhanna.bsky.social who says he supports @davidhogg.bsky.social's plan to spend $20 million to help younger Democrats primary older incumbents who aren't up for the fight.

Boring Co., Elon Musk's tunneling company that has raised hundreds of millions in venture capital, has registered with the federal government as a "small business" making it eligible for government contracts reserved for small businesses

Good! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

We don't need Trump & Vance teaching us about periods in an attempt to have a “baby boom.” It’s true: Americans are having fewer kids, and for some people that’s an economic choice. Let’s lower the cost of child care and housing so that people who want kids can have them, instead of this weird BS.

This is such an important point This is corruption

Good for house Dems

Trump: I will end the war in Ukraine on Day 1 Day 93:

When student loan borrowers are in default, how does the Trump regime respond? By garnishing their wages. When billionaires see their wealth hit record highs, how does the Trump regime respond? By extending their tax cuts. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

In a recent NYTimes article on who is REALLY leading DOGE now that Elon Musk has agreed to "step back," the outlet has now confirmed that DOGE "is led by Steve Davis, Mr. Musk's top adviser and enforcer." So much for pretending Amy Gleason is in charge. techcrunch.com/2025/03/12/t...

If you were wondering what the Campaign Legal Center is up to, it is still suing the FEC and the 2016 Hillary Clinton Campaign. Yes, that's right -- Democracy is under assault from Donald Trump and they are spending time and money suing the 2016 campaign of -- (wait for it) Hillary Clinton.

Hey Anchor-baby Marco, Iran WAS limiting their uranium to power only, until your fuck wit orange fuehrer blew the deal up during his first regime. How's bout you SHUT THE FUCK UP, k? Asshole.

Per MSNBC, confirmed by NBC News: Last week, Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent got into a shouting match, two White House officials confirm. The heated exchange was over leadership at the IRS. (Looks like arguing over IRS data with Elon leads to getting the sack.)

Told ya. The only thing you have to fear, is EVERYTHING, under Hair Fuehrer. JFC

FWIW, there are over 40 articles in my compilation of DOGE debunkings. www.emptywheel.net/portfolio-it...

"The privileged can buy their way out of trouble by giving Trump money. Corporations can exploit and defraud consumers with increasing impunity. But if you’re a regular person? You’re not just on your own. These days, you’re a target." — @snipy.bsky.social

In light of the Trump administration's executive order seeking to establish central bank digital currencies, Noah Tan explains what CBDCs are and considers their potential to disrupt the traditional SWIFT banking system. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/will...

Hillary Clinton gets it right...AGAIN.

On today’s solemn anniversary, I join Armenians in California, all around the United States and around the world in remembering the 1.5 million men, women, and children who were systematically targeted in a campaign of mass murder, rape, and brutalization by the Ottoman Empire.

The head of Harvard University doubled down on his defiance against the Trump administration Wednesday, saying the Ivy League school would not compromise on certain issues despite the threat to freeze more than $2 billion in funding. THIS is why Harvard is Harvard. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Yeah, I think there’s essentially no going back from the damage Trump has done. Even if he were removed tomorrow, America has proven it can be duped into electing a dangerously unstable person, and you can’t really make long term plans centered on an “ally” like that.

Just stopped by my local DMV to update my Real ID. Starting May 7, you’ll need a Real ID to board a plane in the U.S. Don’t wait! Head to your local DMV and get it done. ✈️✅ #RealID

What's DEI-ish about philosophy?

JUST ANNOUNCED: Your favorite @MSNBC trio is moving to primetime! Starting May 5, tune in to “The Weeknight” with @aliciamenendez.bsky.social @michaelsteele.bsky.social & @symonedsanders.bsky.social – MSNBC’s new panel show that’s taking over the 7 pm ET #weeknightmsnbc

Trump is proposing a Medal of Motherhood just like Hitler did. BTW receipt of the Honour of German Motherhood Magda Goebbels murdered her children in Hitler’s bunker.

Texas christian preschool teacher & youth minister, Mark Eichorn, has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for producing & distributing images of children being sexually abused. ktxs.com/news/local/f...

I use SCOTUSblog a lot but, oh well, guess that era is over. It’s fine. I also used Twitter a lot before the fascists took over. Times change. The way I look at it, every time the white-wing takes over a new media space, it just makes what I do more rare and thus more valuable.

You must work your whole life and pay tax so some billionaire can be a billionaire, not pay any tax, and say you don't deserve to own a house, have healthcare or receive a pension before you are 95. That is how it is.

We are Live at Princeton University: this week’s Main Justice dives into the Garcia ruling, SCOTUS’s late-night immigration order, and threats to academic freedom. Also—we just won two Webby Awards. Grateful doesn’t begin to cover it. #GarciaCase #SCOTUS #MainJustice #Webbys

My dream bathroom. Right here. I don’t need a lot. Love this.

It is sickening to see Trump turn the United States of America into Putin’s agent and errand boy in this negotiation.

“The Trump administration on March 21 terminated part of a $200 million contract that funds attorneys and other legal services for unaccompanied children.” gothamist.com/news/4-year-...

I watched North Dakota‘s Kevin Cramer on CNN defending Pete Hegseth. Cramer is not dumb. He knows better. This is just a reflection of the power of the cult, stronger than patriotism or the need to protect America’s national security. Truly and deeply pathetic.

Another heartbreak on the world stage. Tunisia, once the birthplace of the Arab Spring, tragically falls back into authoritarianism. Sentencing members of the opposition to lengthy prison terms. This is not democracy. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/w...

"Francis was 88 years old. His health was failing. JD Vance did not actively kill the pope, any more than Liz Truss actively killed the queen. But it’s hard to imagine a more compelling call to 'come to the light' than looking into the well-kohled but empty eyes of that soulless Nazi ghoul."

Total freefall. Less than 37% approval and 28% with independents. Trump is poison. www.reuters.com/world/us/ame...

We need more than "castigation," your honor. apnews.com/article/abre...

Harvard rejected policy changes demanded by Trump — becoming the first university to refuse to comply with the regime’s demands. Now it's suing the regime. Other institutions, firms, and individuals should take note. Surrendering to Trump’s tyranny only invites more of it.

“Hey, we’re a whole continent away. But if you don’t accept OUR peace deal for you, there’ll be consequences.” Because, you know, gotta keep caucasianing…

How long before we find out there’s no deal with China and this stock market rally was just another way for them to manipulate the markets?

In the new Economist/YouGov poll, only 39% of people feel like the country is heading in the right direction under Donald Trump and JD Vance. Who would have thought these two were totally inept? 🙄
