the government is intentionally manufacturing the conditions for violence against its own citizens, grim stuff

We could have had her, America.

The bad thing about 86'ing 47 is that we'd have this moron to contend with.

Jeffries: We will stand up today, stand up tomorrow, stand up this week, stand up next week, stand up this month, stand up next month, stand up this year, stand up next year, stand up at all times until we end this national nightmare and restore the American dream for every single person

FDA Commissioner Makary: "The public has said no to covid boosters. 70% of the public has not gotten a covid boosters. And they don't trust us."

No one should have to choose between putting food on the table and affording their medication.   I reintroduced the SMART Prices Act with @welch.senate.gov and 25 of our colleagues to expand Medicare’s power to negotiate with drug companies for lower prices, & save taxpayers money.

UPDATE: The Senate parliamentarian advised lawmakers that they couldn't use the Congressional Review Act to revoke California's right to set vehicle standards. But they did it anyway. Expect a legal fight.

Crockett: That’s why they hired everybody from Fox because all they’re trying to do is put on a show.. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody… *Applause* Van Drew: *bangs gavel*

A heated exchange between Van Hollen and Rubio: "Writing an op ed to the Tufts newspaper is disrupting the foreign policy of the US? That's pathetic, Mr. Secretary."

Good morning 🌞

Most of the country has moved on from this story Perhaps distracted by the Qatar jet scandal or the clearly unconstitutional Executive Order on birthright citizenship While hundreds of immigrants rot in El Salvadoran because the Trump administration violated their due process rights UNACCEPTABLE

🤬😡🤬 💙✊💙✌️💙

The Constitution is clear, Congress must consent to gifts from foreign countries. Without consent, it’s a bribe, even if it’s out in the open. Bribery is impeachable. Make sure Congress understands! It’s not up to them, it’s up to us!

Nah we ain’t running from this one chief

Your School House Rock moment......

Please join this action if you are in or near New Jersey. Lives depend on it - our democracy does too.

If ICE agents in the US are ever held to account for their actions (seizing people without due process, etc.), “I was just following orders” didn’t work at the Nuremberg trials either.

A Turkish PhD student on a Fulbright scholarship was disappeared from the Boston area by masked, plainclothes ICE agents for an op-ed she wrote calling out Tufts University. Her release—after six weeks in ICE detention—is a direct rebuke of the Trump administration’s actions.

I've said we need to litigate to protect voting rights everywhere. I am proud that today my team filed a lawsuit in Wyoming. This is how we expand the map for voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The people who want more babies are not doing it for good reasons They picked it from the past to build the armies, the labor market etc They have no plans for financial support, medical assistance, food assistance, day care Always irresponsible #MomSky #Voices4Victory

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

I'm just saying..

WELL PLAYED GOVERNOR! Kristi Noem wanted to do a press conference today at the Illinois Governor’s mansion. So Governor JB Pritzker hung this banner. Noem ended up choosing a different location. Your thoughts?

Congratulations to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on his historic selection. Doug and I join millions across our nation and around the world in praying for him as he steps into his new role and leads the Catholic Church.

"He's the one who cut the USAID budget. He put it in the wood chipper, because he didn't go to a party that weekend," Gates told the Times of Musk. "The world's richest man has been involved in the deaths of the world's poorest children." Let that sink in. Richest man/poorest children History!

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

Right around Thanksgiving, I posted about Moscow cops brutalized the lgbtgia community in a bar. I said it would start here in America. Again. In Pittsburgh, PA of all places. Keep your head on a swivel, y'all. Protect your lgbtqia friends and family. #SheShed #MomSky

Back on April 21, Tulsi Gabbard accused those who leaked the NIE on Venezuela's ties to Tren de Aragua of lying abt the intel. It took the IC just 10 days to turn around a @laurenleharper.bsky.social FOIA proving that TULSI was the one lying. www.emptywheel.net/2025/05/06/t...

Every day he’s going to say or do three or four things that stoke the Rage/React Engine, and one or two things that cause actual damage and hurt people. We can stay in React Mode or we can anticipate this foolishness, respond strategically, and build the functional equivalent of Project 2029.

What better way to attract tourists, vistors and bolster the US economy than threatening to deport those very same people? Must have been a deleted chapter from ART OF THE DEAL.

Old man Trump is not well. Republicans in Congress and the cable news talking heads know it—so it’s time to stop pretending. This would be hilarious if it weren’t so dangerous. He actually believes this nonsense—and we’re the ones who’ll pay the price. ALL OF US.

JD Vance broke the National Championship trophy, then visited the Pope who died the next day, then visited India and a terrorist attack happened and war broke out, then endorsed his brother for mayor who lost 83-11%. What’s next on the agenda?

The bloviator may be TRYING TO break Canadians, but that is a dream in his head. Bullying isn't going to work with Prime Minister Mark Carney! Canadians and Carney are opposed to the aggressor- I stand with Canada! #ProudBlue #DemVoice1 www.npr.org/2025/04/28/n...

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Translation: still no deals

Underwood is a BOSS in this clip.

Last week, we marked the 100th day of the Trump administration. We all must stand up and continue to oppose that which is wrong and hurting our nation. May the next 100 days be defined by courage, unity, and the relentless effort to preserve and restore our republic.

Hopefully this report will help Americans understand that there _wasn't_ a prior period during which Elon Musk was a mensch who cared about the environment. He's always been a robber baron who cares about nothing but profit and his own glorification. Environmental issues were merely a tool for him.
