Walz: When did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? Government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest.

A commenter on the MeidasTouch YouTube channel has a suggestion

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy. Thank you professor.🙏

Is the entire interview gonna be about his fucking decor?? #Trump100TheInterview

See if I were a Democrat I'd be printing out talking points now accusing Trump and Bezos of colluding to hide the costs of his tariffs. Call them Trump's "hidden fees" "sticker shock" a "Bezos bailout"

Democracy Docket is not throwing a party for the White House this weekend. It is not attending a party with the White House this weekend. It has no interest in mingling with Trump officials as if we are part of some club. Support fearlessly independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

Difference?

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

#GVerse #Food4Thought 😉

The refusal to provide people due process before shipping them off to foreign prisons is criminal and intolerable. It must not be normalized. Everyone who believes in justice and America needs to speak up now.

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

Good morning Bluesky !

Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Hopefully Strom Thurmond took some time out of his busy schedule burning in hell to get the news that he was just beaten by a black man.

Rest in Peace, Val.

The Beatles biopic announcement is an April Fool’s joke, isn’t it? …Isn’t it!?

From THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP:

French far-right leader Marine Le Pen has been banned from running for political office for five years after being found guilty of embezzling European Union funds. There’s a lesson here somewhere for America.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

A couple of years ago, I noticed that Dems were losing ground with Latino voters. I launched a Spanish-language YouTube channel to reach those people. That channel is now on its way to 300,000 subscribers and has nearly 50 million views. We have be aggressive and go into spaces we're not already in.

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

Credit where credit is due: the Atlantic perfectly goaded the morons in this administration and then sucker punched them with receipts.

How many Scaramucci’s until Hegseth, Radcliffe, and Gabbard are fired?

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

the people who told you to calm down about Roe are the same people telling you to calm down about Social Security, in case you hadn't noticed
