It’s kind of incredible that these bizarre rants are just shrugged off daily, and not seen as evidence of a cognitive disaster like no one has ever seen.

Kevin Kiley refuses to talk to his constituents about their health care and social security. Because he WON’T protect it. So, I went to Folsom and talked to them.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

She was found guilty of child sex trafficking and other offenses. He is guilty of buying elections and dismantling the federal government. He hates this photo. You know what to do.

Hegseth had booze on his mind at 8:30 this morning

NBC has confirmed what we have been saying for weeks. Hegseth clearly copied classified strike schedules from a secure device to his personal phones. This alone would get a line service member thrown in prison. But when it’s SecDef we are supposed to ignore it.

Earth Day message - CA faces a potential climate disaster if SB 540 is not stopped. Powerful forces are pushing our senators to give away CA's control over our energy to Trump/fossil fuel dependent coal-loving states. Our single state control protects us now. Tell your Senators VOTE NO on SB540.

Good job team America www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Holy cow, "Signalgate" not only wasn't a one-time-thing, as many figured, it wasn't even the worst information security violation Hegseth did *that week.* In a different group chat he shared different operational details with his wife, brother, and lawyer, who are now surely foreign intel targets.

GOP Rep. Nancy Mace told a constituent “fuck you” after he asked if she will do a town hall this year

Sacramento. April 19th. DAY OF ACTION. #50501movement

Ohhahaha. That had to have been awkward for the hypocrite.

I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning

the moment Harrison Ford learned the force was real (volume up 🔊)

This is an interesting thread.

Really great, comprehensive piece by @danamilbank.bsky.social on how fucked we've gotten in such a short time. wapo.st/43Vj6yZ

Never seen it framed this way by all recent elections Wild

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

AMEN.

BREAKING: The U.S. is on the verge of abandoning peace talks in Ukraine, the National Intelligence Council concludes that there is no Tren de Aragua invasion of the U.S., and a U.S. citizen detained is released. All the news you missed: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Dems in Congress—get loud on this! Hold town halls everywhere & expose Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” for what it is: a brutal assault on working families. It guts healthcare to bankroll billionaire tax cuts. We’re not trading lives to feed the rich. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov

This is bonkers. There are no adults in this admin.

"We are either going to fight or we are going to surrender." @betoorourke.bsky.social gave us the potent #CupOfJoe that we need! NO SURRENDER!

This feels oddly hopeful.

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

Now that Murkowski has revealed herself (and unnamed others) as afraid, she's a mark. She might as well jump ship, vote with democrats and help us out of this crisis. If she does, this could be the crack in the wall that brings it down.

OMG - I'm so glad he made contact. Thank you, Senator Van Hollen!

Yikes. This is not something you want to hear a United States senator say—both because of what it confirms about the political climate and what it reveals about the senator. (Kudos to Murkowski for her candor, though, I guess.)

Omg. They’re all so awful and sick. I HAAAATE them. Don’t try to talk me out of it.

I have been advocating for Kilmar Abrego Garcia & now it's time to also put our attention onto Andry Hernandez Romero. trump condemned him to CECOT, in El Salvador. He came here as a gay man to seek asylum; he committed no crime in the U.S. and has followed all the steps here to seek asylum.

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now. We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done. We will rally every corner of the U.S. We will not stop until they actually vote no.

BREAKING: Senator Chris Van Hollen is taking action on the imprisonment of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and is currently on the ground in El Salvador to demand his release.

Breaking - Judge Boasberg to launch contempt proceedings for Trump administration “The Constitution does not tolerate willful disobedience of judicial orders,” a federal judge writes in the case of Venezuelan migrants removed from U.S. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
