Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Bill Cassidy just gave the game away

'Vance is lying': VP blasted for 'arguing with people on social media' to defend 'administrative error' https://twp.ai/1ZQLc6

ICE is referring to the abduction, deportation, and imprisonment of a Maryland man, Kilmer Abrego Garcia, as merely an “administrative error” — claiming it was all done “in good faith.” In a court filing, lawyers for the Trump regime claimed that Abrego Garcia was deported to El Salvador…

"This nominee lied multiple times to every member of this committee. Mr. Bisignano personally intervened to get [DOGE operatives] immediate access to Social Security systems." - @ronwyden.bsky.social

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

In 70 yrs the Right-wing has gone from "I Like Ike" to "I Like Reich." www.mediaite.com/media/maga-p...

The Trump admin just killed the federal agency that gave us Meals on Wheels, respite care, independent living assistance, and disability support. Not “streamlined”—eliminated. If you’re vulnerable or love someone who is, MAGA just came for you. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

@electdemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org Some sage advice from @therickwilson.bsky.social. Especially the part about messaging. THIS should be the entire party's message: “This is madness. He’s hurting you. We’ll stop it.”

Leavitt leaves the door open to Trump trying to serve a third term: "He's right. People love the job this president is doing."

200+ anti-Tesla protests this weekend. Elon wants you to believe they were all paid to be there. Elon is lying.

Elon Musk said he borrowed the name from a 1960s science fiction novel, but another AI startup applied to trademark it before xAI launched its chatbot.

If you support invading Canada or Greenland, you are a horrible person without a shred of morality or intelligence.

Targeting Tesla has led to a Musk meltdown — on Fox. “My companies are suffering,” Musk muttered, on the verge of tears. Musk appeared minus his chainsaw, whining that his involvement in the government has been “disadvantageous” — claiming his companies are “suffering”…

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

That's right union members who voted for Trump, he hates unions. Good luck

Require schools to display the Ten Commandments in every classroom? Listen as I read this letter, signed by more than 150 Texas faith leaders, opposing state interference with both education and religion.  Text of the letter: bit.ly/43xadvg

Remembering when in December Trump announced: "The media is tamed down a little bit. They like us much better now, I think. If they don’t, then we’ll just have to take them on again, and we don’t want to do that." It is amazing how right he was and how cowardly so many of them have become.

If your plan is to keep your head down and hope it goes away, I can show you all of human history why it won’t work. If it’s to capitulate and hope they ignore you, I can show you thousands of Trumpers who’ve already lost their jobs & savings. Fighting back isn’t an option. It’s the only option.

Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president. Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

School officials in Maine say they will not comply with a proposed agreement from President Trump’s administration that would bar transgender athletes from participating in girls’ sports.

Last week, while visiting several Smithsonian museums, I kept wondering how long it would take for this administration to direct exhibits to be pulled. Not long, it turns out. 🗃️ www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Elon Musk just lost Fox News: Musk: “the most amount of fake righteous indignation? The fraudsters… Baier: “I think that most people are concerned about the 94 year old that doesn't get her check.”

Musk’s cuts are killing Veterans. Veterans WILL die because of this. And the administration is lying about it. MORE: www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

NEW: The bill comes after ProPublica’s reporting on the deaths of three Texas women. It specifies that doctors don’t need to wait until an emergency is “imminent” to terminate pregnancies but leaves in steep penalties for those who violate the law. Kavitha Surana & @cassandrajaramillo.bsky.social

The Trump regime will round you up off the street and arrest you because you spoke your mind. And federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars who refuse to identify themselves will be the ones to do it. It's fascism. Call it what it is.

JUST IN: Kari Lake has withdrawn the cancelation of Radio Free Europe’s grant, seeking to end a legal standoff.

Hermann Hesse is right. The felon admin is killing. They’re turning away truckloads of food from food banks. They’re deporting legal green card and visa holders. The felon ended funding for pediatric cancer research & halted free school lunches. Trump is a murderer. #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue

Judge Reyes REJECTS the Trump admin's bid to dissolve her order blocking its transgender military ban. She also denies a stay pending appeal—but gives a two-day window to make the same request to the D.C. Circuit. Here's how she ends her order. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Governor Youngkin fired Bert Ellis from UVA Board of Visitors today In his place, he appoints Ken Cuccinelli While Virginia AG, Cuccinelli attempted to investigate UVA for research into climate change There is a whole Wikipedia article about it en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attorne...

You truly could not make it up. You could not.

“The 5 things Pete Hegseth did last week” - Shared classified attack plans on an unsecured commercial chat application. - Denied doing it. - Denied the plans were classified. - Denied the plans were plans. - Attacked the journalist who proved he was lying.

"That’s why the CIA guards don’t allow cell phones, or even Fitbits, into their buildings. Which brings us back to Bill Murray’s question: Why was the director of the CIA using a cell phone at CIA headquarters?" www.spytalk.co/p/signalgate...
