Observation — since the night Musk failed to deliver the WI Supreme Court into Trump’s greedy little authoritarian hands, seems to me that’s when the cooling period started on their tenuous bromance.

Sick & tired of the punditry trope, “our immigration system is broken” implying it’s 100% Democrats’ fault, with NO MENTION it is REPUBLICANS who have willfully kept it broken, going all the way back to RUBIO co-sponsoring a solid immigration bill in the mid-aughts, then VOTING AGAINST HIS OWN BILL.

Here's a quick timeline cleanse. I'm also happy to report that these Muppets have successfully fledged and are out exploring the world now! #wildlife #birds #owls

Welp.

🔥 @petebuttigieg.bsky.social shares his vision for 🇺🇸 with Andrew Schulz and the “Flagrant 2” podcast

NICHOLS: “Trump’s plan now is to end the fighting quickly by selling out Ukraine and its people to Putin… Trump is not a fair broker: He is acting as a de facto Russian ally and making demands as Moscow’s proxy.” www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

He’s not well. Shame on all who voted for this demented criminal.

Evil.

In “looking for the helpers,” did not expect to find one in Goldman Sachs. Credit where credit is due. 👏🏽

Thanks, Republican voters! Way to go! You must be so proud!

Have to say, this rocks! 👏🏽

Sen. Durbin has always been an absolute champion for the best interests of this country. This decision allows for a graceful exit to a distinguished and honorable career.

Exactly.

The US Navy's new Director of Communications, Kristina Wong, is a Jan 6 terrorist and an anti-Ukraine, pro-Kremlin mouthpiece. Likely an unregistered foreign agent (spy).

And now for something completely different.. Jahn Ekenæs (Norwegian, 1847-1920) "Women doing laundry through a hole in the ice" (1891) Oil on canvas (67 x 108 cm) Private collection.

holy cow this order in Abrego Garcia “Defendants—and their counsel—well know that the falsehood lies … in their continued mischaracterization of the SCt Order…. Defendants’ objection reflects a willful + bad faith refusal to comply w discovery obligations.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Cheering on Harvard standing up to fascism, and cheering the downfall of a car-company-owning fascist who is doing enormous damage to democracy. Context is key.

After Judge Xinis ordered discovery to take place in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case, his lawyers today have filed a letter to the Court requesting a conference/hearing due to the Trump Administration's "failure to comply with [the] Court's orders." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Thinking about how once Hegseth is ousted, he’ll be a civilian walking around with top secrets and a complete lack of fealty to national security.

So, Musk reportedly now wanting to “leave” government. He was never elected in the first place — hello??!!!

Y’all, this @TheDemocrats clapback… 👀

Directly from the Nazi eugenics playbook. I guarantee those medals are only for white Christian mothers of 6 or more. Aryan nation anyone?! 🤬

What’s the over under that after Hegseth is ousted from the Pentagon, he finds his calling, and gets taken in by Erik Prince and Blackwater? I honestly believe that there should be an investigation into his time at Guantanamo. I have zero doubt that he committed war crimes & human rights violations

Happy Earth Day 🌍

We know it’s not just Hegseth, right? No one in the criminal’s Cabinet gives a sh*t about national security, starting with the criminal himself. It is again feasting time for US adversaries and enemies.

This will hurt Trump’s people the most, and they’ll never hear it from Fox, OANN or Newsmax.

Why are we pretending it’s not a safe bet Hegseth has multiples of open Signal chats containing sensitive intel. He doesn’t care! He’s dishonorable & on a revenge tour against a military which rightly deemed his white nationalist tattoos a problem. That’s why the Russian-Asset-In-Chief *chose* him.

Congratulations Jean Meconi on your excellent Letter to the Editor in today's Daily Star!

My office will host neighborhood hours tomorrow at Dayton’s Bluff Library in Saint Paul from 10am-noon. My staff will be available to help you address any issue you may face in dealing with a federal agency. Learn more: mccollum.house.gov/contact/neig...

🎉GROUNDBREAKER 🎉 Congratulations to Barbara Lee on becoming the first Black woman elected as mayor of Oakland. With over 30 years of experience in elected office, she’s proven that she can take on tough battles and get things done for her constituents.

Apart from the absolute incompetence of the head of DHS having her purse stolen, note the $3K in cash was to shower gifts and dinner on her family - real “let them eat cake” stuff. www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/p...

The Vatican published Tuesday a photo and video of Pope Francis in his open coffin, dressed in a red robe with the papal mitre on his head and a rosary in his hand. The images were taken in the chapel of the Casa Santa Marta, Pope Francis's residence at the Vatican where he died on Monday, aged 88

Great to see NYT so pleasantly describe a real-life Handmaids Tale scenario, because that’s where this is headed. (Also, by their own measure, the Vances are way behind the curve. Has anyone told JD couches can’t get pregnant?)

Six men who prosecutors said took part in forcibly removing a woman from a town-hall meeting hosted by local Republicans in Coeur d’Alene, a small city in northern Idaho, in February are facing charges including battery and false imprisonment.

I'm a Jewish guy who tries my best to practice Zen and I am really sad about Pope Francis. He was a good man in a time when we need more.

Gotta love NYT headlines. “More doctrinaire.” 🙄

This is straight up fascism.

It better not be Sean Hannity.

Today, a bill that would protect the rights of Colorado immigrants passed out of the Senate. It now heads to the House.

Can I just say, the moment Hegseth accepted the SecDef nomination, he outed himself as a danger to national security. Hegseth knows his complete lack of qualifications for the post puts this country in mortal danger. And he couldn’t care less. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

A young Red-tailed Hawk keeps an eye on a Blue Jay that kept bopping the hawk on the noggin.

A Light has gone out in this world. There is a genuine disturbance in The Force. Heavy heart. 😢💔😞😔💔

JUST IN: Barbara Lee pulls ahead in the Oakland mayoral race, 50.1% to 45%. That’s a gap of roughly 5000 votes. Oakland says there are only 300 mail ballots left, plus some more mail ballots may still come in, but that’s a big gap so Lee would seem to be the clear front runner.
