Had a dream last night that @karaswisher.bsky.social invited me to cover a gala with her at Mar-a-Lago, where I joked about how the towers looked like Sauron’s and Saruman’s. No one wanted us there, but Kara was absolutely fearless. Also, I’m not a journalist.

Dammmnnn… all these stocks just got way cheaper. What an opportunity (for rich people). Be weird if tariffs magically got resolved in a couple days… bet the stock markets would start to recover.

Cowardly decision by @ctvyourmorning.bsky.social. When it came time to stand up for truth, they buckled to bullies. 🚩 pressprogress.ca/ctv-cancelle...

Tomorrow is April Fool’s Day and I wouldn’t put it past the US administration to pull something deeply offensive and tone-deaf in the name of cruelty.

Some.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

I feel like I'm yelling into the void about the America PAC petition and their meddling in WI elections. Nothing from Evers, Kaul, our senators or reps, silence from WEC. Even Wis Dems told me they didn't have the resources *to make a public statement.* I'm still fighting. Just need allies.

Everybody is blaming Hegseth for #SignalGate, but as @dailybeanspod.bsky.social points out, what about the absolute clowns that CONFIRMED him?

Billionaires aren’t brilliant. They’re just the ones willing to do - at scale - what the rest of us try not to. Lie. Steal. Hoard. Pollute. Coerce. Oppress. Lie again. Manipulate. Hide money.

Like children caught lying, just with bigger words (sort of).

An amazing and much needed podcast.

Rep John Larson - Connecticut:

Billionaires didn’t become billionaires by operating democratically.

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

Lesson for this Trump tariff shakedown bullshit is that you can call him up and say "well okay, we'll do [list of things we're already doing], that's a really good idea" and he will take that as a win. It's like putting a blanket over a budgie's cage

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.
