Whatever else emerges in time about the Delta crash in Canada, one thing is certain: the importance & amazing professionalism of flight attendants who safely evacuated the plane in a matter of seconds.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Even worse incompetence: they accidentally fired, then apparently today un-fired, hundreds of the people who manage America's nuclear weapons.

Five days apart.

Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

The reckless decision to release billions of gallons of water from the Terminus and Schafer Dams is already hurting farms and farmers. It’s a massive waste. I'm demanding answers from the Army Corps of Engineers about what happened. And why.

The moment we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down one agency – we say it's ok to violate the law to shut down anything.

THIS IS IT. The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses! Mark your calendars! Show up!

We’re focused on feeding our kids. Investing in our schools. Making sure child care is affordable. Regardless of the chaos unfolding in Washington, we’re making Minnesota the best state for kids to grow up.

I’m heading to the Senate floor right now to speak through midnight to make it clear: we cannot confirm Russell Vought to the Office of Management and Budget. Tune in to C-Span and find out why…

Hold the fuck on — the Department of Government Efficiency, the entity which claims its mission is to end “wasteful spending”, was given SEVEN MILLION TAXPAYER DOLLARS to cover its “expenses” in the span of a single week?!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!?

Republican Congresswoman Nancy Mace calls to “turn Gaza into Mar-A-Lago”

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

To be couped by adults is disconcerting. To be couped by children is downright insulting.

Shutting down USAID is not about efficiency—it’s about undermining America’s global leadership. USAID counters extremism, fights diseases, and creates more markets for U.S. exports. This is reckless and dangerous.

This is so rude. These AP reporters cut off Babyface, a 13-time Grammy winner, mid-interview to grab an interview with Chappell Roan. I understand the desire to interview Chappell, but the way they did this was horrible.

Absolutely brutal scroll on Fox.

Trudeau: I think Canadians are a little perplexed as to why our closest friends and neighbors are choosing to target us. I don’t think there are a lot of Americans who wake up in the morning saying, "Oh, damn Canada. Oh, we should really go after Canada."

This is what happens when you ask me to help sanewash the Trump tariffs.

The Democratic Party needs new messaging strategies. We ALL know this. The predatory & patriarchal system of the past is broken. Now is our chance. Going back to the same tired “establishment” folks who failed us in 2024 is not the way forward. I truly hope @kenmartin.bsky.social understands this.

I just issued an executive order to capture and store more water from the upcoming storms in California. We’re creating a literal rainy day fund for our hotter, drier future.

If it were legal to fire you, they wouldn't put so much effort into getting you to resign voluntarily.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone here at Bluesky for the follows and the conversations and the constructive, substantive interaction. It's a great forum, a great resource for circulating and talking about the news, and -- most of all -- a pleasure. I'm grateful!

Jessica: He had a campaign rally in the middle of what should have been a somber occasion. And these DEI policies were put in place in 2013. He had every opportunity through his first administration to revoke them if he thought they were terrible, but he didn't.

ICYMI: Norm Eisen joined newly-former CNN correspondent @jimacosta.bsky.social on Substack live last night welcoming him to the world of independent media. As Norm said, the water’s fine! Watch the full live on Substack now. contrarian.substack.com/p/live-with-...

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

Doesn't anyone scheme in secret anymore?
