Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

Walz is really doing one of the actions that is needed!!!

Jeesh. It has come to this. Countries that have **a monarch on their money**—Canada, Australia, NZ, of course UK—far more robust in defense of what I have considered "American values" than deranged current gov of the US. (Yes, I know that Oz is phasing out monarch-on-money. But still.)

Some are posting what I believe amounts to fear mongering in order to give Schumer and the others an excuse for their cowardice. You need to read what is actually being shared with us by members of Congress.

Did you hear the big news? We’re taking to the streets nationwide on April 5 to fight back against Trump’s illegal power grab: handsoff2025.com

An interesting theory on why Schumer supported the CR.

Nancy Pelosi urges Democratic senators to go against Schumer and vote NO on the Continuing Resolution.

Pro tip for Democrats: if Trump is congratulating you, you fucked up.

And if you can’t get anyone on the phone, send an email to your senators. 👇

Welcome to Donald Trump’s America, where First Amendment lawyers find themselves compelled to advise people that they have no First Amendment rights.

Arresting someone without charge, explanation, or due process to silence dissent is unconstitutional. This type of thing happens in dictatorships, not America. You don’t have to agree with Mahmoud Khalil to defend his rights—if his freedoms can be taken by the Trump administration, so can yours.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Evil.

What a front cover...

I had missed Slotkin’s response last night, but one of my kids sent it to me this morning because it is spreading on TikTok. This is about the best rebuttal I can remember. A star is born! youtube.com/watch?v=iOhe...

I'm starting to think of elite rationalizations of Trump's insanity as a kind of highbrown qanon. It's the fantasy that things can't be as fucked as they seem and that in reality there's a secret plan being carried out by competent patriots

“Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.”

sorry cancer patients, if you wanted to keep cancer research funding intact you should have sent your $5m cash payment to the President like all the smart corporations

Deserved

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

Your dignity honors the bravery of the Ukrainian people. Be strong, be brave, be fearless. You are never alone, dear President Zelenskyy. We will continue working with you for a just and lasting peace.

Whenever you welcome guests, treat them with kindness, grace and respect. Simple as that.

Treasonous

Auchincloss: Trump doesn’t have to face the voters again, so I understand what he's doing. He's trying to hook up all these billionaires who invested in his campaign. He owes them, but for the life of me, I can’t understand why Republicans are allowing Trump to frog-march them off the gangplank.

Russia’s greatest military asset is not any bomb, tank, plane or ship. It is the Republican Party.

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.

I shared this note with the owner of the Washington Post this morning.

This seems bad

🤔

Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity. You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

Today marks 3 years of Putin's bloody effort to take Ukraine, and Trump is doing his best to hand it to him. Still, Ukraine fights back bravely against authoritarianism. Their fight is our fight. #SlavaUkraini www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBkP...

He says what we've been shouting that MAGA just wouldn't hear but he says it in a way that some of them will hear. He's a rural farmer who speaks how they speak. @hcrichardson.bsky.social I posted 4 you to watch bec I think he's the missing link in our messaging. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4CR...

Every member of the House is back on your home turf for congressional recess. We’ve got events scheduled across the nation to get their attention — because fighting back against the Trump-Musk coup is going to take all of us: indivisible.org/muskorus

Pure corruption.

Hope that some of my colleagues in the U.S. will be able to participate. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

after the overturning of roe, black infant mortality has spiked nearly 11% in states with abortion bans: www.reuters.com/world/us/inf...

“Despite the demands of Trump, Leavitt, and Big Brother, the AP is not changing their style to suit the whims of a would-be tinpot dictator. And by defying Trump, the AP has created a rallying point for other organizations and individuals to find their spines and defy him as well.”

Gov. Hochul will have to remove the Mayor. This is unconscionable.

I love this
