Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Resistance is NOT futile

Resistence is NOT futile

Romero: When they say “reasonable notice,” it can’t possibly mean handing someone a paper they can’t read, giving them 12 hours, and then shuffling them out of the country to be locked up—potentially for life—in the most dangerous prison in the Western Hemisphere.

ABBY PHILLIP: “Scott, you keep repeating something nobody ever said. No one said Trump can't have an opinion. The Q is, should the fed act based on it? Trump is not an economist. And as far as I can tell, he does not even have a good grasp on how trade works.” 🎯

Hey you know how people made the Tesla brand radioactively toxic and crashed its entire corporate structure? You can do that with authoritarian brutality and with neoliberal oppression and exploitation. You chase these motherfuckers from society until all that’s left is something real and better.

The way he lies and the press just lets it slide… TRUMP LAST THURSDAY: “Powell’s termination cannot come fast enough” TRUMP TODAY: “no intention of firing” Powell

🤔

The orange felon is now wanting to reduce tariffs on China after China retaliated not only by placing tariffs on the United States but by making deals with other countries to counter his MAGA trade war tariffs. Great businessman my ass, more like demented fraudster con artist.

The “but her emails” crowd are now cheering on drunken rapist idiot Pete Hegseth for sending out classified military intel on Signal Chat not once but twice and not just to a reporter but to his wife and brother. He should be in jail, not running the Pentagon.

😳 what are we doing? gothamist.com/news/4-year-...

It’s so wonderful to see Sarah Palin once again losing her frivolous defamation lawsuit against the New York Times. Love to see it. 🍷

Good on this library.

Purported ICE agents raid a courthouse in Charlottesville in plain clothes without badges, ID or warrants, cart off two men without explanation. One of the three men was masked and the detainees were ushered into unmarked van. Video in the article. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

Gary Lineker, "Why worry about people you don't like?" Amol Rajan, "Because of damage to the BBC" Gary Lineker, "This is the mistake the BBC make" "The BBC try to appease the people that hate the BBC"

🚨PSA 🚨 📌 DO NOT BUY RAW MILK 📌 BE VIGILANT CHECKING ON RECALLS (you have to do your own research) 📌 BE VIGILANT ON PACKAGING AND DATES YOU CAN GO TO recall.gov but with all the DOGE firing staff and cut backs. don't know how accurate the FDA will or can be YOU PAY MORE & NOW THIS #MomSky

#ProudBlue #DemVoice1 Tariff negotiation. Below: The Video is a remark from Japan’s opposition lawmaker Shinji Oguma. Trump attended the meeting. He thought Japan was a cakewalk, so it would fold and set an example for other allies. He didn’t get his way.

You & I have to put up with this 💩 show for another 45 months. Japan does not. They’re already done. When a good friend tells you “Get help” & you ignore it, you eventually get this… #DemVoice1

#ProudBlue #Voices4Victory 🌲🌲 Happy Earth Day 🌲🌲 “ A nation that destroys its soils destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air & giving fresh strength to our people.” -FDR

The Republican Party is being led by a tyrant whose regime is rounding up U.S. residents and throwing them in a foreign prison without due process. And this is the so-called "party of freedom"?

EU Foreign Policy Chief Kaja Kallas: “The EU will never recognize Crimea as Russian. Crimea is Ukraine.” Which kind of puts the mockers on Trump’s capitulation to Putin for their one-sided “peace deal”.

It's funny how when you ask them why they think Pope Francis was "too woke" and request specific examples, they always wound up describing Christ's teachings without a hint of self-awareness.

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

Donald Trump is against due process even though he has benefited from it more than anyone else. And Donald doesn't just get *due* process, he get *undue* process, thanks to a corrupt, partisan Supreme Court.

NEW: A SECOND story was released today of a Venezuelan man disappeared by the Trump admin. Neiyerver Leon is a barber who entered legally seeking asylum in June 2023. ICE arrested him on March 13 and accused him of being in TdA. Days later, he vanished off the face of the earth.

Trump's EPA just took down its chemical accident tracking tool, weeks after chemical lobbyists demanded the administration shut down the website. The locations of thousands of high-risk chemical plants across the country are now shielded from public view. #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #DemsConnect

If you're wondering why so many right wing individuals are saying hateful things about the late Pope, the reason is simple: he told them that they should care about other people.

MAJOR BREAKING: The FBI Section Chief who resigned and exposed Kash Patel and Donald Trump for weaponizing the FBI just announced he’s RUNNING FOR CONGRESS! John Sullivan is a former intelligence officer and is bringing receipts. Now he wants to FLIP a seat. Let’s go!!

I’m honored to be named Advocate of the Year for the 29th Annual Webbys! Every day, I fight to make sure our communities are seen, heard, and protected—so to be recognized for that work at the Webbys means the world. Follow along on Monday, May 12 at #Webbys.

Flashback to 2023, when Pete Hegseth emphatically argued that there are “two tiers of justice” and there must be accountability for “handling classified documents flippantly.” Fast forward to 2025, and Hegseth’s hypocrisy is breathtaking in the wake of TWO Signalgate…

The federal government plans to eliminate services for LGBTQ youth who call 988, the national suicide and crisis hotline, according to a Health and Human Services budget draft leaked last week.

The VA just sent an email out to all employees announcing an Anti-Christian Bias Task Force and asking them to turn in fellow employees for a list of violations. They want them to use Anti-ChristianBiasReporting@va .gov! So you know….

ICE has detained Kseniia Petrova, a Harvard scientist from Russia working on major advancements in cancer detection, since mid-February. If deported, she could face arrest over her opposition to the war in Ukraine. Another reminder that xenophobia hurts all of us.

Could They Truly Be This Clueless?!? The Answer Is Yes!!!

This is not just about media that is critical of trump, trump wants to silence all media that speaks the truth. We are already being governed by a fascist, this is just the next step in solidifying his power. #WakeUp

A man of kindness in an increasingly cruel time. RIP.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Buffalo have developed a nanoparticle-based vaccine candidate for H5N1 avian influenza (clade 2.3.4.4b) that achieved 100% PROTECTION in preclinical trials. The vaccine is under development for potential use in BOTH veterinary AND human medicine. 🧪🧵⬇️

Congratulations to the folks at MeidasTouch for receiving the Webby Podcast of the Year award! So well-deserved, @meidastouch.com!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Trump's EPA has rolled back regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals. It's estimated that these moves could result in 200,000 premature deaths by 2050. Your Earth Day reminder that Donald Trump is a danger to our planet and our health.

I love the smell of accountability in the morning.
