Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

they know there's going to be an apocalypse for trucking jobs due to tariffs so they're trying to stem the political damage by making it so the layoffs disproportionately affect non-english speaking truckers

Yes! Exactly. Exactly, exactly. "The Trump administration has been worried schools would team up in resistance, because it is harder to negotiate with a united front..." www.wsj.com/us-news/educ...

“Now, the [Trump Department of Justice] has decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations in favor of directions from Washington.” Bravo for these 3 lawyers to defend the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/n...

We know.

“The pretexts that the administration is using [to attack universities] have to do with D.E.I. and antisemitism. The real reasons, I think, are anti-intellectualism and greed, and the fact that Trump is building a mafia state.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...

“Resistance on the part of Harvard makes it more difficult for the administration to expect significant concessions from other universities.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...

‼️‼️ This is so wrong! Veterans are dealing with so much shameful treatment from Trump's administration! He shows no respect or regard for the people who have sacrificed so much to the military, the same service he is using to carry out his "militarized borders" madness around the country 🤬🤬

Just saying and doing things you actually believe rather than playing 4-D chess is an underrated political strategy.

The biggest, strongest, most manly man to ever be President just lost a Trade War with penguins.

Murphy: "It's not designed as economic policy. It's designed as political policy. Because Trump gets really excited when people have to come to him, petition the king for relief. That's what he's doing with law firms, doing with universities. That may be what he's doing with businesses."

Let’s be clear: the Department of Education exists because states wouldn’t fund poor schools, wouldn’t protect kids with disabilities, wouldn’t follow civil rights law, especially in the South. Anyone calling to abolish it is calling to turn back the clock—and we can’t let that happen.

Two things Elon can’t buy: the Wisconsin Supreme Court, and friends. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Thom Tillis is a puppet! He does not represent North Carolinians.

We are 10 years into the Trump era, we watched a speech in which Trump castigated Dems as 'radical left lunatics' & used a racist jibe against a Dem senator, & Democratic Congressman Jim Himes voted to censure Al Green because of the importance of 'decorum' & 'civility. Really? Really?? SHEESH.

📣📣Raleigh area people! 👇👇

I tweeted about this guy last night and got all these replies from random people who said he'd saved their baby's life. Fuck being rich I would love to have been this guy, imagine how cool it would be to know you'd helped so many people. We need to name an airport after him or something

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.

CONTACT YOUR SENATORS! The House narrowly voted to pass a draconian budget that would impose big cuts to Medicaid & SNAP while cutting taxes for the wealthy. It’s a cruel bill that will hurt millions of Americans who rely on those programs.

💥 BREAKING: At Apple's 2025 annual meeting of shareholders today, proposal entitled “Request to Cease DEI Efforts" is rejected by shareholders. Right-wing nonprofit National Center for Public Policy Research (NCPPR) proposal was also rejected by Costco shareholders 98-2 percent.

Well, Trump has lost the NY Post, and he's also lost the conservative editorial board of the Wall Street Journal. "The U.S. had supported these resolutions since the war began but is now voting with the world’s rogues rather than with its allies. www.wsj.com/opinion/unit...

2/19: MSNBC celebrates its NAACP Image Award and Joy Reid’s book Medgar & Myrlie. 2/22: Trump calls MSNBC a “threat to democracy” after NBCUniversal’s lawsuit settlement. 2/23: Joy Reid ( @joyannreid.bsky.social ) canceled. When Trump sent the heat, @MSNBC.com bent the knee—AGAIN!

And there it is

Crockett: "Down in Alabama, who's broke. Down in Louisiana, who's broke. I can go through pretty much the entire south and tell you that they're broke and rely on a lot of welfare from the government. To be perfectly honest, it is tax dollars from these big blue states...we're in the find out phase"

Democratic leaders: I think it's abundantly clear at this point that simply going along to get along ain't gonna work. Trying to negotiate ain't gonna work. Being collegial ain't gonna work. What you're doing right now isn't working. Take your gloves off and punch back. Hard.

Trump works from home.

Trump works from the golf course.

This is some crazy 💩. This administration is dangerous on so many fronts.

Surprise, surprise

This is emboldening all of them.

Cutting cancer research to own the libs? New day, same backwards thinking bullshit

Griffin LOST the election to Justice Allison Riggs. It’s long past time for him to finally concede the race.

Not a coincidence that the thing on the right happened right after the thing on the left came out.

even newsmax doesn’t know how to spin this one www.newsmax.com/amp/newsfron...

Here’s what we did today

URGENT: The special general elections for Florida’s 1st & 6th Congressional Districts are on APRIL 1, 2025. If we flip these seats, we can STOP Project 2025. No excuses!

Wondering how the heck tariffs work? Let’s break it down, Ferris Bueller style👇 (1/2)

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.
