Did you think we wouldn’t notice, Fox?

The conman who was forced to shut down his fake "university" because its operation was consumer fraud, is trying to undermine America's oldest, most prestigious, legitimate university through an abuse of presidential power.

Only way to do it if you love your kid.

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

Neutral Switzerland 🔥 I love this so much…

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the Supreme Court’s newest member, denounced on Thursday what she described as "relentless attacks" on judges, and an environment of harassment that "ultimately risks undermining our Constitution and the rule of law."

My dad’s union benefits were our family’s ticket to the middle class and the American Dream. Today, I stand with the workers and unions fighting to keep that dream alive for the next generation. #InternationalWorkersDay

The American Constitution Society is offering a series of webinars for lawyers to learn ways to defend constitutional rights during these challenging times. You can register here.

Missed a spot

I saw some guy online comment today that "we need a male AOC" and I had to shut my laptop and go for a nice, long walk in order to avoid screaming.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

Ooooooh Ed Martin’s nomination is teetering

1/ “In a powerful display of solidarity, more than 200 local attorneys raised their right hands Thursday at the King County Courthouse in Seattle and repeated in unison the oath they took years ago when they joined the Washington State Bar Association.” www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

#Econsky is a great thing in these interesting times lots of explainers help to understand the real consequences of having an idiot man baby running the biggest economy in the world into the ditch

Apropos of nothing, I believe Trudeau was a fine Prime Minister. I didn’t enjoy covid, or inflation and the rising cost of living; but I never saw those things as Trudeau’s fault. I don’t see his legacy as a stain on the Liberal Party at all. Frankly, I think the CPC obsession with Trudeau is stupid

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Musk’s actually costing Americans billions while touting fake savings https://twp.ai/4im02s

Al Gore didn’t hold back: The Trump admin is “attacking the heart of truth,” twisting facts like the Nazis did in the 1930s. From climate denial to rewriting the Ukraine war, it’s all about power—not reality. Gore warned the U.S. is under siege—and every former leader should speak out like he did.

So we cut child tax credits just to turn around and give $5000 to new mothers? Never pro-life, only pro-birth.

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

I will say it again: If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

Again, birds have a lot to teach us. #birds

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "I've been in finance for 40 years. This is probably the biggest manufactured crisis I've seen with a bunch of unforced errors. The execution of 'liberation day' was pathetic."

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

"Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently ordered modifications to a room next to the Pentagon press briefing room to retrofit it with a makeup studio ... "Hegseth hasn't used the press room to brief reporters. But it has been a set for his TV appearances..." www.cbsnews.com/news/hegseth...

🚨 BREAKING: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth spent thousands turning a Pentagon room into a personal makeup studio—for TV hits. All while the administration is pushing cost-cutting. Vanity > national security. You can’t make this up.

Every state needs to do this ASAP

Republicans are counting on us to ignore what’s happening in the states they control. They are banking on us not having the resources or the will to fight for voting rights. They want us to be resigned and demoralized while their voter suppression machine grinds on.

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Bold talk for a guy that pardoned a bunch of cop beaters.

What's DEI-ish about philosophy?

True.

Health, wealth, success – they’re all transient conditions. And your value as a person is not conditioned upon them.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

“Pro-life”

I watched North Dakota‘s Kevin Cramer on CNN defending Pete Hegseth. Cramer is not dumb. He knows better. This is just a reflection of the power of the cult, stronger than patriotism or the need to protect America’s national security. Truly and deeply pathetic.

Agree.

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Pete Hegseth just said he will examine the promotion of “fat” people to leadership positions in the military and seek to stop them. There's a very fat orange man who's Commander in Chief. Can we start with him?

“Whoa. Tesla is doing really bad. It must be because I’m not there enough.” - A deluded megalomaniac

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

THIS is what we mean by showing up. Reps Carter, Thompson, Pressley and Sen Markey, went to a detention center where Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk are being held w/out due process. They didn’t just stand up for their own constituents—they stood together for all because there’s power in numbers.
