My heart hurts. I hope it was A Good Life 🎶 @jillsobule.bsky.social

It seemed like a scene ripped from The Handmaid’s Tale, replete with a man on stage mocking her: “She spoke up, and now she doesn’t want to suffer the consequences.”

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

They’ll do it in a few high profile cases to set examples. People will say, “No way this holds up in court.” Maybe. But we now know the plan: they’ll do it first, then dare the courts to stop them. And this too will be very difficult for courts to undo. This is end of democracy stuff.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services doesn’t know about massive cuts to health programs?

A deafening amount of noise needs to be made about this. DEAFENING.

Whatever happens, I'll never forget that when Republicans began to break with Trump, it wasn't because of the rule of law or human rights abuses or anything like that. It was because they were losing money.

A reminder that Measles was declared eliminated in the United States 25 years ago. Why? Vaccines.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

House Republicans are in full support of Trump’s tariffs.

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

US tourism is in for some things. (via @jeffasher.bsky.social) 🇺🇸

Wow. #HandsOff rally in St. Paul, Minnesota is massive!

The people are fed up.

We are very far over the cliff here, folks

NEWS: Whirlpool Corp. announces Iowa's largest layoff of 2025 in Amana manufacturing facility. Nearly 1/3 of the company’s workforce in the Iowa facility will be let go due to current market conditions.

I’m no economist, but…

As has been stated quite a few times, Republicans could shut this down at any time if they wanted to…

The Republican national sales tax will: ⬆️ Increase costs by $5,000+ per family per year ⬆️Increase the cost of a new home by up to $20,000 ⬆️Increase the cost of American-made cars by $3,000 ❌Kill up to 400,000 American jobs All while planning to cut taxes for the wealthy.

Much needed hope. Thank you, Wisconsin and everyone who put their all behind the Crawford campain

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long. Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

NBC News confirms: In the unsecured Signal group chat, national security advisor Michael Waltz referred to a Houthi militant targeted in U.S. air strike. Israel provided the sensitive intelligence on that Houthi militant, according to three sources with knowledge of the matter. @msnbc.com

Writing an op-ed is not illegal activity. They are revoking visas for thought crimes and for constitutionally protected expression.

We've heard concerning things about the Social Security Administration lately, so I decided to check for myself. SSA says Wednesday is the best day to call, so I called then. Their system told me there would be a two-hour wait time, told me to call back, and then just hung up.

10:50 a.m.: WisDems issue a press release saying Elon Musk "committed a blatant felony" in his post about his plans to "hand over two checks for a million dollars each" in Wisconsin on Sunday. Just over a half hour later, reports show Musk deleted the tweet.

Goodnight friends ♥️ Our hearts are with all of us at HHS who receive bad news tomorrow. And all those at health departments across the country who received bad news this week. Call us cheesy, but Lord of the Rings is on our minds.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

This is painful, and saddening, and embarrassing. I feel like we're losing a member of the family - and for no good reason other than that some Americans wanted another season of the worst reality TV show in history.

Keep going

I don’t care WHO you voted for. If you can’t admit these last couple months have been an absolute shitshow, you’re part of a cult.

NYT: Trump Administration Abruptly Cuts Billions From State Health Services More than $12 billion in federal grants that were being used for tracking infectious diseases, mental health services, addiction treatment and other urgent issues were canceled.

Who needs public health anyway? It’s not like we’ve got a bad flu, measles and avian flu going around. And yes, this is sarcasm. MDH: $226M in federal cuts and the layoffs of around 200 employees | kare11.com

The Milwaukee Bar Association's poll shows that Judge Crawford exceeds expectations on judicial temperament, impartiality, and integrity. In the poll, Judge Crawford handily leads Schimel in every category, while attorneys raise serious flags about Brad Schimel’s judgment.

A US president not knowing four US servicemen are dead 24 hours after it was reported is appalling.

"Still, the two officials told me that—unless the story truly snowballs in the days ahead—Trump is unlikely to push out his national security adviser. Optics, and not national security, are paramount in Trump’s reasoning. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Right now, there’s an important race happening that will shape the Wisconsin Supreme Court for the next 10 years. Judge Susan Crawford is ready to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all Wisconsinites. Make a plan to vote early today — don’t wait until April 1st: wisdems.org/vote

President Donald Trump on Tuesday downplayed the texting of sensitive plans for a military strike against Yemen’s Houthis this month to a group chat that included a journalist.

BENNET: Did you know that the president's Middle East adviser was in Moscow on this thread while you were as director of the CIA participating in this thread? Were you aware of that?! RATCLIFFE: I'm not aware of that BENNET: It's am embarrassment

Tulsi Gabbard refuses to answer Warner's questions about the Signal group chat

mike johnson is so desperate to please trump, he'll say *literally* anything. he's not a speaker, he's an appeaser.

Here are some of the absurd excuses Trump's allies have offered since the story broke yesterday.
