The Dow is now headed for its worst April since 1932 -- the very worst year of the Great Depression.

The Ministry of Propaganda is out early today doing damage control.

When 2 careers are often needed to make ends meet, and pregnancy carries its own risks, it isn't irrational for women to limit the number of children they have. Maybe focus on family friendly policies--paid leave, incentives for better maternal health outcomes.... Just spitballing here.

Everyone who served in the military knew a lieutenant like Hegseth. We just never imagined that we would ever have a president who would make one of those dipshits Sec of Defense because he liked his rap on TV.

Like the message Pete Hegseth’s probably heard at the end of the night in many a bar, he doesn’t have to go home, but he can’t stay at the Pentagon.

Homeland Security Secretary can’t secure her own purse.

…and we’ve lost multiple $30 million drones. Gee, I wonder who connected with this administration will profit from replacing them?

Because one time wasn’t enough: “Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

"A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else." - John Burroughs

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.

KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!

…saving lil 🐢

Remember, when they try to blow smoke up your ass, it means a new Secretary of Defense has been chosen.

Milwaukee is pissed. Good, be pissed. Be pissed that gov and local authorities abuse their power. That they don’t have our full trust. Just don’t be pissed and do nothing. That’s ineffective. Be pissed and do something. Be pissed with us. Activate your community. March on May Day.

It isn't that America lacks courage. It's that we’ve become so cut off from one another that many of us feel alone, which makes us feel afraid. But when we are surrounded by courageous people, all of us become more courageous.  Courage is contagious.

When members of Congress push conspiracy theories, especially the sort that quickly fall apart under basic scrutiny—such as Sen. Ron Johnson claiming 9/11 was "an inside job"—remember they have access to a lot of classified info, so they're either delusional or lying, treating supporters as marks.

LOLOLOL I am 100% confident that Hegseth added his personal lawyer to the acts-of-war Signal chat because he believed that meant it'd be privileged information.

The difference between Christianity and Christian Nationalism is a Pope who advocated for our most marginalized and a woman who considers him evil for doing so.

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires? (Asking for anyone who cares about US National Security) Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

If they fight like hell small donors will show up. This time we’re not pre-paying for squat. Maybe keep an emergency fund because we’re not giving again until we see some results.

I think the stress is finally getting to them. They thought We the People would crack first. They were wrong!

genuinely want someone to do a reported profile on nancy mace because she seems to be deteriorating in public

📌The only thing we know for sure is that the new pope will be a man, because first and foremost it's ALWAYS about empathizing power over women. (This odious patriarchal thinking is also a large part why the United States has never had a woman as its president, and why we are in this terrible mess.)

"We can't defend Abrego Garcia personally because he might be a criminal, we're just defending due process generally" is dereliction of duty because defending Abrego Garcia personally LITERALLY IS due process. The process he's due is literally a defense. We should defend both due process AND HIM.

WATCH: Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social reacts after Lamberth called him “racist” for speaking out against White Nationalism and pointing out what the media won’t — that the TN GOP supermajority’s policies & rhetoric invite hate to our state. Post: www.instagram.com/p/DIuLqwDyFP...

What a time to be a spy.

I’m hearing that Starbucks is changing its employee dress code to disallow masks unless with a doctor’s note, which is supremely unjust. I’m getting a copy of the policy to look at later.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

This Hegseth thing is funny and all — but the unprecedented incompetence, frivolity, and treachery of the entire cabinet puts us all at very real risk.

Maybe the Administration is hoping that this will force Hawaii to replace its tourism business with industrial manufacturing. beatofhawaii.com/why-these-ha...

Good armies never, ever give up on bringing their soldiers home. This is an inspiring story of collaboration between allies to deliver on that promise made to soldiers and their families. wapo.st/42DilYT

The original reason for exempting churches was the premise that churches would replace the State as a provider of assistance to the poor. If a church spends $54 million on one person’s salary, that’s a problem.

Good morning to everyone who agrees that we need to tax the church!

I don’t know who needs to hear this but those five bags of clothes for good will you’ve been driving around in your trunk for two years? You can just drop them off and it takes two seconds. Truly wild stuff!

Frost: I'm one of many. I'm not the first member of congress here and I'm not going to be the last. This is not about Maxwell Frost. This is about preventing our country from losing what makes it exceptional.

If Pete Hegseth is the best you’ve got for Secretary of defense….

Passport, blank checks, $3K in cash, driver’s license, makeup, and meds? Sound like a flight risk

My 21yo was home from college this weekend. We were talking about his courses -- homelessness & housing policy; neoconservatism & the middle east; policing -- and all the dire, unpleasant things he's been learning about America's history & role in the world. "Soaked in blood" is the phrase he used.
