If the Ukraine suttenders then all will be well, says Russia. Not gonna happen.

📌If you refuse to look away while the America-attacking Trump and his grotesque GOP flood us in fascism … If you are standing up for what is most certainly good and right … If you live in one of these homes of the brave … … Then you are the best among us, and I am damn proud to fight alongside you.

A masterclass in dignity: Mexico has officially banned Trump’s propaganda from TV and social media. No racist ads, no lies — not under Claudia Sheinbaum’s watch. She stood firm, shut down hate, and showed the world what real leadership looks like.

"Journalism as an extension of power" @peterjukes.bsky.social, Peter Oborne, and I dissect what this chaotic moment reflects about the news industry - and more... WATCH 👇

Gov. Tim Walz State Address: "We have university students shoved into unmarked vans and fathers being tossed into Salvadorian gulags without a hint of due process. If you say you love freedom, but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love isn't freedom, it's privilege."

We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation. He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths. In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

This is brilliant news!

Whoa…this 🔥🔥🔥 Trump called out for “Market manipulation” by @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

Sometimes, when he fails badly enough, Trump can be forced to do the thing he says he never does: back down. Today is just one more turn on the roller coaster - but it is more evidence of why we can't give up or let up.

There’s no denying it anymore: the pro-democracy movement is finally back on offense. Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster. MAGA is imploding under the weight of its own lies, grifts, and failures. They’re not strong—they’re desperate. They’re flailing. And they know it.

April 1st: The only day of the year when people pause for critical thought instead of automatically accepting what they read on the internet!

I have been hearing from people that they have been having issues accessing their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please share!

The Trump regime is fascist,no doubt,but I just can't remember or know of a current fascist state that is as magically stupid.

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

I watched some Fox coverage of the Signal chat story and this is what Fox had to say. 1 These guys were just chatting about some plans they were going to show Trump. 2 Only the Left cares about this story. 3 The Left are busy sending smut and no one is discussing that. Are people this stupid?

Thanks, Keir, for the warm welcome at 10 Downing Street.    At a time of great consequence for our country — one in which our sovereignty has been called into question — alliances and friendships like ours matter.

New ride is here. Built by union labor here in America thanks to @uaw.org!

Elon Musk claims "the leftists" are bad-mouthing his company. This isn't true. It's ordinary car buyers who are fed the fuck up.

“He is hurting the people,” Carey said. “He’s hurting the very people that voted for him, let alone the rest of us — he does not care. And you don’t get to stand up there and let it happen if you are an elected official, regardless of where you’re from.” avlwatchdog.org/army-veteran...

The space between them is called the perineum.

Hassan grills Dr Oz about promoting a bunch of scam "medical" products on TV, including "raspberry ketones." She notes that "it seems to me you are still unwilling to take accountability for your promotion of unproven snake oil remedies to millions of your viewers."

Beshear: Between Trump and Musk. I'm not sure which one is Thelma and which one is Louise, but our economy is that car and they are driving it off the cliff.

Dismantling the Department of Education has nothing to do with improving outcomes for our kids, it’s simply about taking away resources from our public schools.
