Ours, by a mile.

I'm attending May Day Strong's event, “May Day Strong: We are the Many” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/mayday/event...

The cover of this week’s Economist.

Trump is a despicable human being. Women's Health Initiative study loses federal funding : Shots - Health News www.npr.org/2025/04/23/n...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com Thomas Friedman writes on Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu: “Each is a wannabe autocrat, each is working to undermine the rule of law and so-called elites in his respective country, each is seeking to crush what he calls a ‘deep state’ of government professionals.”

Nothing to see here. Just a mentally ill president firing national security staffers at the behest of a mentally ill outside advisor.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

Fire the incompetent weekend Fox News commentator. apnews.com/article/hegs...

hard to believe that the fucking moron who just tariffed penguins went broke running casinos

Maybe a start www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

One month after Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner's death, Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott has yet to call a special election to fill his seat.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama cannot prosecute people for helping others travel across state lines to access abortion care. This is a win for our freedom of speech and our right to travel freely.

An excellent emendation to Paul, Weiss’s Wikipedia page. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul,_W...

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.

Rep. Himes: “As far as I can tell, we are now on team Kremlin. We vote with them and against our allies in the UN. We humiliate President Zelensky in the Oval Office. The president's chief Russia negotiator, Steve Witkoff, is repeating Russian talking points.”

Collins: Secretary Hegseth says no one was texting war plans Goldberg: “That is a lie”

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

"Fight the authoritarians on everything. If the stock market drops, scream about it. Because it’s their fault. When a kid dies of measles—their fault. Attack them every day, on whatever the latest thing is. Turn 'flood the zone' against them."

“Thanks to our ambassador, they will have an encounter with Greenlandic nature that they won’t soon forget.”

@govpritzker.illinois.gov on the Secretary of Defense and other top Trump officials accidentally sharing war plans with a journalist: “Donald Trump should fire Pete Hegseth.”

This is a DEI hire, by the way.

Incompetent. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

This article clears up one important point: Paul Weiss' partners were in on this deal. I had thought (hoped) that this was an example of a misguided leader. Instead, Paul Weiss rank and file partners approved this course. They all bear the shame and responsibility. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com The most effective way to protect the American system of checks and balances starts with courage from more people who believe in it, the New York Times editorial board writes.

F47? Trump is a narcissistic imbecile. apnews.com/article/figh...

🚨BREAKING: Federal Judge takes first step towards finding Trump administration in contempt. "By March 25, 2025, Defendants shall file a brief showing cause why they did not violate the Court's Temporary Restraining Orders."

OPINION by @maddow.msnbc.com: “…there’s one element of what the president is doing that is so radically out of step with the American people that I don’t think it’s sustainable in normal democratic terms.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

You think it’s an accident Tesla sales are down almost 80% in Germany? They know what his salute meant.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Is it at all surprising that a convicted felon would ignore a judge's order?

We've successfully fought to ensure Black voters in Louisiana are fairly represented in the state's congressional map. Next week we'll be defending our case at the Supreme Court.

"The opposition party cannot afford to give an inch. Brute power must be met with brute resistance...the Senate Democrats who voted for cloture don’t understand that imperative. But their voters do." ICYMI @mondairejones.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/a-reckonin...

Utah could soon become the first state in the country to ban Pride flags from all public property. LGBTQ people are here to stay, and no amount of hateful legislation can change that.

From far and wide, people love these signs

Are you better off now than you were 8 weeks ago?

This is Chuck. Chuck is selling a book. Chuck also has a full-time job. I would consider buying Chuck’s book if he were doing that job, but he’s not. Don’t be like Chuck. And don’t buy Chuck’s book.
