Lisa Murkowski: “We are all afraid.” “Retaliation is real”. Oh, really? GOP senators helped create this monster and now they’re too chickenshit to stop him.

Really feel like we all have to talk more explicitly and repeatedly about Stephen Miller as the actual Shadow President because that is what he is, he is almost certainly running the vast majority of day-to-day stuff and is responsible for much of the worst of it

“As a businessman, Trump spent a lot of his career profoundly in debt,” writes @davidfrum.bsky.social. “His bankers often bailed him out, and he seems to believe that the Federal Reserve should do the same for his presidency.”

There is nothing comforting about “I’m just as scared as you” coming from the legislative branch that’s supposed to keep checks and balances on the executive. While she thought it was relatable, it is actually mortifying.

Shout out to all the finance bros who didn’t give a shit about democracy, human rights, racism, homophobia, misogyny, the future of the planet or basic human decency and voted for the conman they thought was gonna be good for the economy. You guys are geniuses.

America needs you to find your courage, Senator Murkowski. The stakes are the highest they could possibly be.

I want ICE officers nervous about doing operations in NYC. I want them worried about getting their names and faces plastered on social media. I want them not invited to family and friend outings. I want them to be shunned from society.

well i am sure this administration will take strong action to make sure food safety is a top priority going forwa… hold on i am getting an update

If anyone you know in ICE tells you they’re “just following orders” remind them of the following: - they can read - they’re aware of the SCOTUS ruling and numerous injunctions around the illegality of what they’re doing - feigning ignorance will not soften their place in history…or in America.

Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post is even calling out Leon Munsk and Tesla for allegedly speeding up the cars’ odometers so they fall out of warranty faster. Seems like they really are trying to distance themselves from him. 🍿

RFK Jr and company believe there's a hierarchy of value that positions able-bodied and neurotypical people at the top and anyone that's different at the bottom.

We said this would be one of the toughest weeks yet—but if we stayed in the fight together and didn’t back down, we could win this week. And now look what happened:

I think what’s most striking about the last few months is how rarely anyone in the GOP applies this simple test. A lot of checks and balances rely on this kind of worrying about precedent but it’s now totally absent, as if they don’t think they’ll ever be out of power again.

Trump added that tacky plastic appliqué shit —and painted it fake gold— all along the ceiling and he has Trump branded coasters. Dude thinks he OWNS US !

Typical

It would be awesome if we had a Health Secretary that was focused on stopping the measles outbreak or funding cancer research or lowering drug costs. Instead, RFK is spending his days spreading lies about people with autism. Disgusting, disrespectful and dangerous.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Facts matter......This is one.....

Thank you, Sen. Van Hollen, for standing up not just for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his family but for every American who believes in due process. We can't stop speaking out until he is home and this administration is forced to stop its horrific practice of kidnapping people without charge or trial.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Unemployment up. Stock market down. Mortgage rates up. Consumer confidence at worst levels since the Great Depression. Are we great again yet?

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

The President of the United States fears only those who do not fear him.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Welcome to Bluesky Mohamed ! If you don't know him, he is literally one of the smartest minds on international trade and economics !

Dear Institutions, Be more like Harvard. Thanks, The People

“I was just following orders” was not a defense at Nuremberg. And it won’t be a defense in the future here.

Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?

I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy. Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities. All with an average donation of $21. THANK YOU & Pa’lante 🙏🏽♥️

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Would men need to provide a marriage certificate to vote? No? Just women? Got it.

FIVE. MORE. LAW. FIRMS. CAVE. AND. CUT. DEALS. WITH. TRUMP. "$600 Million Dollars in pro bono services." Of all the people you'd think would have the resources to fight back and say "F*CK NO!" and handle the consequences...you'd think it would be those at the high-power law firms.
