Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth seems to have indulged in another Signal group chat including yet another former Fox “News” producer — a woman who bears a striking resemblance to his wife. Beyond the fact that Hegseth texted military strike plans in a Signal chat that included his former Fox…

🤬 In Odesa, UAVs strike high-rise building and a school. There are a lot of fires in the city, the citizens have lost electricity. At least 12 explosions in Odesa. ❗️Up to 15 more drones are flying into the city, moving at very low altitudes.

NEW: Trump Says He Could Free Abrego Garcia From El Salvador, but Won’t Trump's statement was a blunt boast about his administration’s intention to defy the Supreme Court's orders. WHERE IS SENATE MINORITY LEADER @schumer.senate.gov?🦗 Trump crossed his red line www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/u...

NEW: Fox is conceding that Trump’s approval rating is collapsing significantly — having sunk to 45%. “Our new Fox News poll at 100 days job approval compared to other presidents, there you see the president at 44% and you see his first term at 45% at the 100 day mark.” 1/2

Finally, a truth!

Thank you @durbin.senate.gov Senator Dick Durbin for your years of service. Senator Durbin, along Senator Tammy Duckworth, PLEASE ENDORSE another fierce WOMAN to replace you. No more politics with the old playbook WE NEED BOLD FIERCE REPRESENTATIVES WITH NEW STRATEGIES like Lauren Underwood!

Look @lukelukeluke.bsky.social Look! A nice mushroom I saw today in Oslo, Norway. Thought it was "hell ya" worthy so wanted to share.

House Republicans voted for a budget that could take away school lunch from 30 million kids.

Don’t forget Al Green stood up alone and presented his intention to impeach Trump. This is why AIPAC backed republicans and democrats want to remove or censure him.

The simple act of booing during Trump’s speech would go a lot farther than standing there in matching outfits or walking out. Stand your ground. Call a traitor a traitor and boo. Silent protest doesn’t work when their goal is to keep you silent. #3E #SOTU

Please follow @skyeperryman.bsky.social Democracy Forward is fighting in Courts across the Country to keep Trump's Administration in checks.

Justin Trudeau gave the exact kind of press conference today that we have been waiting for from our Democratic leaders. Watch it and learn from it. No gimmicks, no stunts, no script, no platitudes, no slogans, no games. Just straight talk, honesty, sincerity and facts.

Trudeau: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin- a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight...Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."

Omg. In a shocking moment, Nancy Bolan, a fired USAID worker and tonight’s guest of Rep. Ritchie Torres — reveals that Donald Trump has pulled the U.S. from the global polio eradication initiative — which threatens its spread to the U.S. Every single American should see this.

When America faltered, others stood up to lead.

An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

Some staffers at Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing robust taxpayer-funded salaries of over six figures—sometimes from the very federal agencies they are slashing and burning. buff.ly/HUGIm2n

Since Congress’s allotted funds have already been improperly unallocated, U.S. citizens are questioning whether they are legally required to continue paying federal taxes.

Zelensky owns a suit, and he looks damn good in it. Because he has a decent tailor. And he's in really great physical condition. He actually IS young and vigorous. He doesn't need a suit to be a leader. Clothes definitely don't make the man.

So weird how everything Trump is doing seems to benefit the rich and powerful (and corrupt) www.icij.org/inside-icij/...

At least a dozen Teslas were set on fire at a Tesla dealership in Toulouse, France. Thoughts and prayers.

Trudeau: "Every country is very aware that if the American government is willing to do this to their own closest ally, neighbor, and friend, everyone is vulnerable to a trade war."

Great news for money launderers!

Cutting Medicaid will kill people. People like Allie. She has a bleeding disorder and requires regular blood transfusions. “Without it, I will die.” Read her story. Don’t look away. Pass it on.

January 29, 2023. It was all there for everyone to see, who cared enough to notice.

Imagine that. 💰

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Here's a simple way to help show support for Ukraine. #boycott companies doing business in #russia From The Kyiv Independent: leave-russia.org

This is how it's done. www.euractiv.com/section/poli...

Guess who warned everyone?

Mike Myers, Canadian legend, on SNL tonight.

Lift the cap.

He didn't wear a suit, but he received a pardon and was treated better than Zelenskyy was.

It’s been a long day, but in short, bullies ain’t shit! I don’t care what title you hold! This isn’t some long gone reality tv show or failed casino; it is war! How dare a draft dodging dumb dupe humiliate an ally & berate a brave man who has actually been on a battlefield for his people?!

"We’re witnessing the self-sabotage of the United States" from @davidfrum.bsky.social www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

The look on Zelenskyy’s face when Trump says “they respect me” is *chef’s kiss*🤌
