I love my cats. That is all.

Latchkey kids, that’s what you’re talking about here. That’s how you got Gen X guys…

This violates the emoluments clause regardless of what Pam Bondis DOJ says. This is EXACTLY what that clause seeks to stop. abcnews.go.com/Politics/tru...

Tell me again how Trump is going to bring good jobs back to the USA? www.cbsnews.com/news/west-vi...

How best to describe a POTUS-endorsed investment opportunity where 58 people make money while 764,000 get taken to the cleaners? www.salon.com/2025/05/07/7...

DALLAS FED SURVEY: “.. What actions, if any, are you taking (or planning to take) in response to higher tariffs? Please select all that apply.” @stephaniekelton.bsky.social www.dallasfed.org/research/sur...

Avoiding responsibility — final boss.

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

This isn’t forced disappearance this is KIDNAPPING. Use the word that describes the thing.

Bookmarked for the inevitable surrender.

So at what point is the SCOTUS going to look up a realize this is a public admission of the not only non-support of the constitution but a direct violation of a Supreme Court order?

20 million is about twice the highest estimates, and even if it were true it would not justify removing people without due process, let alone sending them to a gulag for life. The Constitution puts mandatory restraints on government to restrain amoral lickspittles like this bsky.app/profile/sky....

Join your local protest on April 19th. Spread the word.

Having a privately held company as the main/only point of contact for a governmental agency is absolutely ridiculous. #oligarchy

I will always love guitar best but Shamisen is absolutely a close second. Flute is now third place for me

Greta Gerwig’s choices around the new Narnia adaptation bother me. Love or loathe the originals they were very consciously made as Christian allegory. This is not something anyone ought to be changing without a very strong reason.

If you voted to confirm this piece of filth those children’s blood is on YOUR hands. GOP congressmen you are literal baby killers, sleep well you vile fucks.

Here are a few of the amendments @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty and Senate Republicans just rejected:

People are losing their jobs and savings, prices are rising higher, and the entire economy is on the brink of disaster—but Donald Trump couldn’t care less. His billionaire political donors will be just fine.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

Are we winning yet?

California Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas (D-Salinas): "there are currently more kids with measles in Texas than there are transgender athletes in the NCAA. That's the epidemic we should all be worried about."

What in the fuck is!?! When the fuck did Abu Ghraib become a GOOD idea?!?

So it turns out Pete Hegseth lied. And Michael Waltz lied. And Tulsi Gabbard lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And John Ratliffe lied. And also lied to Congress while under oath. And as ever Jeffrey Goldberg and the Atlantic were telling the truth. This is why journalism matters.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Today the biggest split among Democrats is between those who want to stand and fight and those who want to play dead. House Democrats united to stand and fight. Too many Senate Democrats played dead. We need more leaders from the stand and fight wing of the Democratic Party.

Tell Schumer and every Dem NO on CR

AOC: It is almost unthinkable why Senate Democrats would vote to to hand the few pieces of leverage that we have away for free when we've been sent here to protect social security, protect medicaid, and protect medicare.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

This letter of authentic should be a death knell or rallying cry for every college and university they are coming for the academics now.

I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it. When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him. Not without a fight. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

Republicans’ partisan spending bill turns the federal government into a slush fund for Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It’s unthinkable that any Senate Democrat would hand them a blank check by voting for cloture.

The current Dem strategy is an absolute lie. Currently they can stop the current budget in the senate by denying to vote for it. Don’t let them tell you they cannot do anything. It needs 60 votes as is make them vote NO!

If @gavinnewsom.bsky.social thinks he is going to win a presidential election by sitting down with people like Bannon he is unfit for any office.

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show: They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.” Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag… Made in Nicaragua. They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee. Legendary.

The President of the United States is vowing to disappear students from college campuses who say things the government doesn't like. There are not enough alarms for this.
