Princeton, then Harvard. Courage is contagious.

Well done, Harvard. Standing up to Trump will not be easy, but academic freedom demands it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u...

Almost half of the country’s health insurance now rests in the hands of a man who once sold miracle pills — with zero proof they worked — on daytime TV.

FUN FACT: A whopping 57% of Americans DISAPPROVE of trump's handling of the cost of living, with ONLY 30% approving, and it only gets worse every day, from now on.

….is that good?

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Again.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA? President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants… The book is called “The Jungle.”

These are the days of our Musk.

Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people. Blazing your own path for the W 👏👏👏👏👏

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov If Schumer votes for cloture and you do not immediately call for his resignation for betraying the ideals of the Democratic Party, I will not ever vote for either of you again, and will use every avenue in my power to make sure you are not re-elected.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up. Tomorrow is the cloture vote. KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️ Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill. Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

Are there any big box retailer Buyers here ? Curious how tariffs are impacting your Christmas Season buying ? My guess is that prices are going way up because of tariffs. Curious if this is accurate or not

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge ordered Trump officials with knowledge of the workings of billionaire Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to testify under oath in a lawsuit challenging the faux agency’s access to sensitive governmental databases. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

NEW: A federal judge in California has ruled that the Office of Personnel Management's directive to terminate probationary employees was unlawful. This marks one of the first rulings declaring Trump’s efforts to reduce the federal workforce as illegal.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

Per Dr Atul Gawande, ex USAID: “All malaria supplies protecting 53 million people, mostly children, including bed nets, diagnostics, preventive drugs, and treatments – terminated.” There are no words that sufficiently describe this level of cruelty and sadism.

BREAKING: Epstein files RELEASED and they've been completely redacted by Kash Patel's FBI. WHAT IS KASH HIDING??? #EpsteinList #Epsteinfiles vault.fbi.gov/jeffrey-epst...

Proud of the work my law firm did in this case! "An Arizona judge dismissed a lawsuit seeking to upend election policies in Yavapai County. The decision delivered a blow to a right-wing organization founded by Stephen Miller which brought the challenge." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is evil. Pure evil.

As usual, Donnie’s brain is playing shorthanded.

Tesla’s shareholders just lost another $38,640,000,000 today — a total $TSLA loss of $600 billion since December. Tesla’s CEO was not in the office. In literally any other public company ever, this would be the point where the CEO gets fired.

Also I want to take a moment to remind everyone (who isn’t an elected official) to take time to recharge your batteries. You don’t have to attend every city council meeting or protest. Find what centers you, then get back in the fight. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

BREAKING — NBC celebrates Black History Month by firing its most prominent primetime Black cable news host and its most prominent weekend Black cable news host, and pushing out its Black nightly news anchor.

I have decided to cancel my show at The Kennedy Center on May 11, 2025 and move it to The Anthem.

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

Anyone in Alabama State Gov or with a large employer in the state ? You are getting RIPPED off by PBMs. www.linkedin.com/posts/gregre...

Canceled MSNBC star Joy Reid seemed to hint at a new project while signing off from her MSNBC show “The ReidOut” for the last time Monday night.

Just going to leave this here should it become useful to anyone…

“Right now, there is a distinct possibility that we do not have a free and fair election in 2028, and all of our work is to make sure that doesn’t happen,” said Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social.

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

First chance I’ve had to cook since last Tuesday. Making some chicken marsala for my garbage children

The Revolution will be AI-icized

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Jane Fonda in SAG Awards speech: "Woke just means you give a damn about other people" cnn.it/3XdUSvy

Sharing some positive thoughts. 🫖

It took ten years, but the NYT finally got there

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social why are you not posting on here first ? You have some great things to say. You are trying some great things. Yet you post on X where 100pct of the replies are meaningless and hateful. It's not all roses here, but the engagement has depth and real convos happen
