WTF just happened today? ⚡️ Day 1555: "Too erratic." whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/2025/04/23/d...

Trump kills programs to combat opioid addiction: www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Calling ASD a “disease” is stigmatizing and without basis. Tracking people with ASD in a database is fascistic and terrifying.

This should be the top story in Axios’s morning read. But it isn’t. It’s the FIFTH top story. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/04/23/t...

Go #Vote! #Poilievre is too much like Trump #Never51 #CanadaStrong #Canada 🇨🇦 #ElbowsUp Al Gore compared Trump’s use of executive power to early Nazi Germany www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Toddlers are representing themselves in immigration court. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), passed in 1952 & upheld in 2018, says these children don’t have the right to an attorney. This administration is taking advantage of this. This law must be changed. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

Kalibr cruise missiles have been launched by Russian cruisers from the Black Sea. Go inside.

"Acts we once took for granted as virtuous, routine, and safe — telling the truth, representing those oppressed by the state, providing legal aid to the powerless, volunteering to work at a polling site, basic journalism — now carry some risk. They now require some courage."

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

From @reuters.com: The Trump administration has canceled hundreds of law enforcement grants that funded everything from services for mental health care for police officers to support programs for victims of crime and sexual assault www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

I'm sorry I know there's a lot going on but how are we not screaming about Ron DeSantis stealing $10 million from Medicaid and the money ending up with pro-DeSantis superPACs, funneled through a charity run by his wife? HOW IS THIS NOT NATIONAL NEWS? www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...

It's almost like they're trying to kill as many people as possible.

William Douglas Hendrix, USMC Gunnery Sergeant (Ret.), a longtime resident of Bedford, Texas, passed away peacefully on April 15, 2025, at the age of 90. As an unattended Marine, members of the military community are encouraged to see Doug to his final resting place.

I fought back when critical support for New Mexican manufacturers was cut, and WON. The Manufacturing Extension Partnership, which supports over 100 NM small businesses, will continue. I’ll always put New Mexicans first.

This was intentional. This was not a "slip up."

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Pete Hegseth is treating the Pentagon like it’s a Fox News set—ordering a makeup studio while leaking sensitive information in Signal chats. This is what happens when you put clout-chasers in charge of national security.

it’s so fun to see our stories get the push alert treatment! extra extra read all about it: www.thecity.nyc/2025/04/23/r...

Damn right. It was the people who didn’t bother to vote that put the Trumpet in charge. smartvoting.ca makes it easy.

The wellness industry is killing animals, spreading disease, and fueling the next pandemic news.immunologic.org/p/the-wellne...

New Mexico, Indiana, Kansas, Ohio, Oklahoma and Texas have active measles outbreaks and U.S. measles cases have topped 700 as of Friday.

US bank regulator lays out plans for 20% staff reduction, emails says reut.rs/4jHylA4

New — FDIC to cut more than 1,200 jobs in the agency

This would lead every fox show for a year or more if this happened to a Democrat.

I’m playing with at least 10 bingo cards today—and they’re almost completely full. So close to winning the “Authoritarian Things Trump Is Doing” daily bingo game.

Sounds like a great opportunity for current and former federal employees...

@jasmineforus.bsky.social: Abrego Garcia "a lot less criminal than the person that's sitting in the White House because last time I checked, he didn't have any criminal convictions."

Good

This piece by Larry David doesn't just skewer Bill Maher but anyone platforming fascists, Nazis & their sympathizers. It's absurd to give evil leaders a platform, to humanize them & help amplify their lies or do anything other than challenge their malice. www.thedailybeast.com/larry-david-...

They are looking to replace Hegseth. He has caused far too much embarrassment for Trump. Tom Bowman and NPR with the scoop.

“He did say he was a U.S. citizen, but they didn't believe him,” Layva said. “I think they would have kept him..." www.azpm.org/p/headlines/...

NEW: As we approach the 100th day of Donald Trump’s presidency, the risk of a full-scale constitutional crisis grows by the day. Join me on Thursday, May 1 at 7pm for a virtual live event with a panel of leading experts to discuss where we are and the road ahead. hubs.ly/Q03j5s1l0

"Trump promised to fight for the working class, but instead he, Elon Musk, and RFK Jr. are attacking the programs and services that keep middle class, working class, and vulnerable families safe and healthy in order to pay for tax cuts for billionaires." www.commondreams.org/news/trump-h...

El Salvador has made clear that these men in CECOT are prisoners of the U.S. They were kidnapped & charged without due process. NOT deported. They are being held captive under American orders & paid for by U.S. taxes. The claims that they're in a foreign limbo are false. This is 2025 Guantanamo.

We're going from "foreign tourists afraid to visit the US" to "US citizens afraid to go abroad because of what could happen when they return to their own country"

"It sounds like Trump’s idea of protecting women is limiting their rights to preserve his own grip on power." - Susan Rinkunas www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

This would've been clean power for 500,000 homes 🧪
