The fucking insanity just won’t end.

Oregon, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York & Vermont are suing the Trump administration in the U.S. Court of International Trade in NY to stop its tariff policy, saying it is unlawful & has brought chaos to the American economy #MomSky

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

NEW: Incredible scenes in Washington DC now. Tens of thousands on the National Mall for the #HandsOff protest against Trump & Musk. There must be over a million people protesting across every US state today. #FiftyFiftyOne #HandsOff2025 (🎥 Alejandro Alvarez)

This week, TX Rep. Keith Self quoted Hitler’s propaganda chief Goebbels on the House floor. Now, OH Sen. Bernie Moreno slimes Sen. Schumer as “Fuhrer.” This is Goebbels’s playbook. “Accuse the other of that which you are guilty.” Republicans are Nazis. Nazis control our government. Eject them.

The entire permanent staff of the Division of Environmental Health Science and Practice was laid off. This division addresses issues such as asthma and air pollution, climate change and health, childhood lead poisoning, and cancer clusters.

Fuck all y’all We could be laughing.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Have a good evening. Don't forget:

So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.

AOC: We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the Congress We need to be establishing guaranteed healthcare on the floor of the Congress We need to be passing a living wage on the floor of the Congress

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

1/ For many Americans, deporting violent gang members will sound like a good idea, constitutional niceties be damned. They are the perfect group of people for a government test case. joycevance.substack.com/p/deportatio...

🚨BREAKING: It seems very clear that the Administration decided not to abide by the court's order. The question now is what will the judge do. Does he proceed with contempt or something short of that to defuse. Upping the stakes is the fact that the AG and her senior staff signed this notice.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Indeed.

It is one thing to watch a dictator grab power. It is another to hand it to him. I’m headed to the Senate floor now. To cast an emphatic “no.”

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

New Yorkers: Call Sen. Gillibrand’s office to vote NO on cloture and NO on the Republican Spending Bill. They vote in the morning. ☎️: (202) 224-4451

For some kids, this is probably the only food they get all day! www.wtrf.com/news/usda-ha...

DOJ’s Public Integrity Section leads cases of corruption by government officials, especially in smaller districts that lack resources and specialized expertise. Dismantling it is one more signal of open season for corruption.

The perfect metaphor for what the Supreme Court did to this country with Citizens United v. FEC.

Tonight we marched in support of drag as an art form, to support trans rights, and to protest Trump’s fascist takeover of the Kennedy Center. Also, to tell Trump he can go fuck himself.
