1. There’s no such a thing as a “distraction,” as we understand the term. Our current crisis is complicated, interconnected and grim.

I'm just surprised it took this long. Expected it before inauguration day.

📌In the wake of this Musk-Trump nuclear-powered slap fight, I want to remind everybody that women are too emotional to lead.

I'm just glad one of these men has the nuclear codes and the other has all our personal data.

Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey. They are random people, basically. But in the late 1920s, with fascism taking over Europe, they made a choice that profoundly changed the world: 🧵

The federal government might not be able to stop Elon Musk, but now he's tangling with a homeowners' association and may God have mercy on his soul. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/t...

The cause of the "male loneliness" epidemic are guys who never learned how to be happy in their own company. If you can't be happy on your own, you'll never be happy w/ another person, and that shit emanates from you like a warning flare telling others to stay away from you.

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

Chris Krebs is America’s next profile in courage. The entire nation should support this honorable and courageous fellow citizen.

“a force not to be reckoned with” Hmmm. He’ll fit right in with this new crew at DoD. Sloppy and incompetent. And politically extreme of course. That’s the culture they’ve created and accept under and around Hegseth.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas. There are over 600 cases in the US right now. Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

This is a scam. Do not react. To be sure I logged into Coinbase and checked activity. But I have strong 2-Factor activated so I wasn't worried. Also, no crypto so 🤨

Now I’m just a small town country lawyer but it feels as though rather than abandoning our most targeted and marginalized communities to win over 19 bigots, Democrats should run on “we’re going to impeach remove and imprison that demented evil criminal fuck and his pale ratty Nazi billionaire, too”

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

This pointless stunt by Cory Booker is accomplishing nothing but drawing attention to the Trump administration’s wrongdoing and delaying the work of the Senate and energizing the Democratic base and, wait, hang on, let me come in again

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

SIGNAL GATE is a threat! The incompetence that many of us knew existed prior to the confirmation of these individuals is on full display for the WORLD & it’s weakening US, collectively. The fact that there is an obsession over wanting me silenced tells me that I need to speak out more. 🫶🏾

"flagging"? There was never a chance Mike Johnson was going to allow this. Democrats have made it clear... They will not use their power. There is no leverage, and the DC budget deal was a lie from the start. @schumer.senate.gov folded his hand. He's the fish at the table. He needs to go away.

Momentum appears to be flagging among House Republicans to take up a DC budget fix that unanimously passed the Senate less than two weeks ago.

It’s worth stating this simply: For literally anyone in the US Govt from 1945 to 2025, Signalgate would require an instant resignation—and a criminal investigation. It would be a matter of personal honor to resign. The fact Mike Waltz & Pete Hegseth are choosing to fight it out is a terrible omen.
