RFK's long history of vaccine skepticism doesn't give him "only Nixon can go to China" credibility to endorse a vaccine; it just makes his followers wonder if even *he's* been gotten to. ICYMI @willsommer.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/rfks-anti-...

The divergence here from two companies with *very* similar customer bases is pretty wild, you do not see this sort of thing happen at scale very often.

BREAKING: Days before she was detained by ICE, the State Department had determined Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk did NOT engage in antisemitic or terrorist activities. Rubio revoked her visa anyhow. Gift article: wapo.st/4j8d5Uh

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

I’m grateful the Shapiro family is safe. It’s despicable for this to happen as the Jewish community is celebrating Passover. Political violence has no place in our country.

This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail. Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

I'm a lawyer and this is correct. Straight line of "blatantly illegal constitutional end-runs to violate human rights" from Iran–Contra to Gitmo to CECOT paved by the only consequences the perpetrators suffering being more money, more power, and more prestige.

Gov. Shapiro says he and his family "woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police" early Sunday morning. The fire caused significant damage, but fortunately, no one was injured.

How do we divide maga the way Trump is trying to divide us? Show them how their leaders are living the lifestyle of the rich and famous, eating caviar and drinking champagne while they need a new roof and eating beans out of a can from dollar tree.

America could have a more inclusive and dynamic, insurance based universal healthcare system.. better than anyone in the world. But instead, we allow psychopaths to profit off healthcare as a luxury service. #FreeLuigi

Start funding Democrats on the ground at the state and county level. If anyone can get through to their neighbors, it's the people already doing the work on the ground.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

I gave them so many warnings, They didn’t listen because they liked the bigotry. Now they shall suffer the consequences.

Cody Balmer, 38, jumped a fence and managed to evade state troopers as he broke into Josh Shapiro’s house and set the fire. He fled the scene and was arrested in Harrisburg. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

You sit on a throne of lies

Do you know the difference between “$2 trillion” and “$150 billion”? About $2 trillion.

SAW IT COMING

NEW: The govt has filed it's daily status report on Abrego Garcia. ICE official Evan Katz declares Abrego Garcia was removed illegally, but that's okay now because the government has declared he's a member of MS13, and they have no further updates. WOW. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Grateful that @governor.pa.gov and his family are safe after an apparent act of arson at his residence. Acts of violence have no place in our politics. Those responsible should be held accountable.

🧐

Disgusting. Deplorable. Is that Musk’s kid??????

🤣🤣

initial reports made this sound like a minor failed attempt

I’m so damn happy for Rory McIlroy. Such a mensch. #themasters

I’m not a lawyer or anything but I feel like you can draw a pretty direct line from John Yoo being allowed to slip back into the comforts of tenure and the occasional NYT oped to what’s happening with the CECOT and doj

Last night at the Governor’s Residence, we experienced an attack not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This kind of violence has become far too common in our society, and it has to stop.

☘️ Look, it's golf. I get it. ☘️ But Rory McIlroy's Masters victory was one for the truly good guys. He didn't take the Saudi's gruesome blood money to play on an odious tour endorsed by the world's most notorious, orange cheater. ☘️ He stayed loyal and true to who he is, and tonight he's the champ.

My statement on the arson attack targeting Governor Josh Shapiro and his family during Passover.

Stephen Yale-Loehr, ret.immigration law prof at Cornell tells Rolling Stone he worries Trump could try to deport citizens anyway, court precedent be damned, given how the admin seems to be attacking on all fronts & worrying later whether their actions are legal.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he has “100% hatred” toward Russian leader Vladimir Putin. “How else can you see a person who came here and murdered our people, murdered children?” says Zelenskyy. https://cbsn.ws/3YyaIlp

‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

The attempt to burn down the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion is pretty clearly an assassination attempt, and it's likely an antisemitic hate crime. It should be referred to that way by political media.

Has the ADL said anything about a Jewish governor’s house being firebombed on Passover or no because he’s a Democrat

I may be getting older and forgetting things daily, but #Signalgate is something I'll never forget—and neither should you. I suppose we’ll let them off the hook once again. WTF America?

STAND and DEMAND the immediate return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. BRING HIM HOME! Abrego Garcia is a SMART Local 100 first-year apprentice who was working full-time to support his young family — before he was brutally abducted and illegally deported to El Salvador. SMART General President…

. . Uphold the oath YOU took

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

More and more people are ditching their Teslas. Listings just hit a record high—up 70% compared to this time last year.

Good morning Bluesky. What are any of the uber rich that have formed the broligarchy in the nation doing to help the those less fortunate than themselves and not just themselves? Don't say space travel, shopping, or social media. Asking for a friend.

A president who was truly committed to opposing political violence and standing up against antisemitism would have condemned the arson attack on Gov. Shapiro and his family by now.

This video shows the fire damage inside the Pennsylvania Governor’s mansion. Governor Shapiro’s reaction to the arson attack is on my timeline.
