The secretary of transportation went on Fox & Friends this morning and trashed air travel, portraying the current air traffic control system as a disaster, and then claimed taking public transit is "dangerous." I miss the DEI days when it was safe to travel.

Dear Olympic Committee, Due to recent housekeeping issues, safety concerns, contentious political climate, & the spirit of ethical sportsmanship, I suggest you pick a new country to host the #LA2028 Olympic Games. I no longer think the USA is a viable candidate. Sincerely, a concerned Californian

Auchincloss on Fox News Sunday: "This economy is inflationary right now...you know what the GOP response is? Their response is, 'Well, get ready for a rocky ride & by the way, we're gonna give tax cuts to the top 20% of earners & pay for it by taking away healthcare from people who need healthcare'"

Share the media. The news is compromised. We're starting to boil over.

At around 20:00 @andreapitzer.bsky.social seems to suggest that by beginning to protest now, you'll learn how to do so safely, for when the stakes go up later. www.youtube.com/watch?v=shEK...

DAILY DEMS DOING THE WORK, MAKING NOISE, AND FIGHTING BACK Day 46 Today sucked, like really sucked, like more than any other day of this series has sucked. But we learned that there are 249 Democrats in federal office who will risk everything to fight for us. And here are a handful of them 🧵

Cool.

I feel like we’re only a few news cycles away from Trump saying “Putin mentioned the other day that we fought on the same side as Russia in WWII against those nasty Germans. That’s very interesting, isn’t it? Not many people know that. And they call *us* Nazis. Can you believe it? Stupid people.”

There are too many people willing to sacrifice children in service to a political agenda. Inaction on guns would be just one example of this. The murderous regime of Trump and Musk has fueled this exponentially, and we will see children die here and abroad. My heart hurts. #MomSky

Absolutely chilling

From interview of Lee Bollinger, 1st Amendment scholar who served as dean of @UMichLaw, president of @UMich, and president of Columbia University. www.chronicle.com/article/were...

They literally just told everyone in the dept of education to not come to work!!! They are already doing this!!!

What is wrong with giving a new leader a chance? A new approach, a fresh approach. Someone who has integrity, leadership skills, represents a key state, has guts and the confidence of the base. Time to put ego aside and screw seniority. This is my nominee.

Trump, who has played golf on 13 of his first 48 days back in office, claimed civil servants haven’t been showing up to work.

DEI and good wages. What’s not to love?

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: So, I think what American farmers are waking up to is the fact that Canadians are no longer buying their products. We’re just not going to participate in this abusive relationship. You threaten us, we don’t buy your products. How about that?

I called Schiff/Padilla yesterday. Remember that Fetterman's claim that "a shut down hurts Americans" is bullshit. the shutdown is much more like workers going on strike to negotiate better conditions. People are going to get hurt regardless a shutdown, voting NO gives a fighting chance.

Just left a message for Cory Booker, who's being a weenie instead of using the fact that he could take any other sitting senator in a fight--including Fetterman--in order to whip votes against cloture

we feel you, Greenland. Same/same here in Canada. And we didn't even have that insufferable twat son of dickhead to tolerate. High five.

Is this a new tariff day or a tariff pause day? It’s tough to keep up.

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 33 MILLION!!! 👏 LETS DO THIS!!

I used to grow alarmed seeing mounted police in DC but now I secretly hope we're being invaded by Canada.

I’m so grateful to have parents who made sure I got vaccinated.

My colleague Adam Goldman, who abandoned Twitter/X but has not to date joined Bluesky, has posted on LinkedIn this memo from Attorney General Pam Bondi personally barring DOJ buildings from procuring paper straws www.linkedin.com/posts/activi...

one of the things i truly believe is that a significant portion of this country is in the grip of a death cult

A lot can happen in five months. 🇺🇸

The staff of the Department of Education are being told to clear out their offices by 6:00 PM. The dumbest people alive are cheering for this. 🤦‍♀️

If you know a physician/scientist at Columbia/Columbia Presbyterian, you might want to check in on them after the truly unbelievable cuts by our government were announced today. Among other cuts: No more research into viruses.

NEW: One Community Response Team officer swerved into a motorcyclist, killing him. Another needlessly stopped a pedestrian, then shoved him into a car window. A third hit a man and then kicked his head. By @ericumansky.bsky.social

Anonymous has entered the fight against fascism. They already took X down three times today. This should be fun to watch play out…

Trump, who doesn’t drive, announced he will use his office to perform a Tesla marketing gimmick

The Agriculture Department has axed two programs that gave schools and food banks money to buy food from local farms and ranchers, halting more than $1 billion in federal spending. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

Looks like Trumpty-Dumpty had a great fall Splat! From the wall [street] See what I did there?

Holy shit. The United States was not invited to the NATO summit on Ukraine in Paris on March 11. There’s no other meaning: The United States was just benched for colluding with the enemy.

Here's a key reason Senate Dems shouldn't vote for the CR: Trump and Musk are the ones who are *already* shutting down the government. That's the frame the public will use to understand what's happening. Check out my exchange with @tommalinowski.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1925...

You. Cannot. Take. A. Private. Company. Approach. To. The. Federal. Government. Dumb. Ass.

Funding the government is up to republicans. They’re the ruling party. Let them fund the government or shut it down.

“Some experts warn that restrictions on Canadian electricity exports could lead to higher power bills and more brownouts across the continent, owing to the extremely integrated nature of North America’s power grid.”

Tesla stock has now erased all of the gains that it has made since the election. Couldn't have happened to a better guy.

I accidentally cracked an egg today. I called to see, but my homeowners insurance doesn't cover it.

The question now--Who else will follow Ruth and who will stay?
