Murphy: When you see the 10-year bond exploding… when you see markets moving like a sine curve—that’s the opposite of stability. A strong dollar is in our national interest. What we’re seeing now is the opposite of that.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

This is exactly why we need to be organized in our defense of the freedom to read. The book banners are organized & we'll funded. But they are also unpopular. Our numbers can beat their money

This part

Causing a massive economic collapse while destroying social security at the same time

Raskin: They want to go back to the idea that the law doesn’t apply to them in anyway, they’re not bound by the law, and they can use the law to crush other people

Perhaps media should look at possible motivations here? Gabbard isn’t a _real_ Texan—and the Texas GOP doesn’t need her—so her residency declaration there (likely a fraud) was to save money. The reason she needs to remain a _Hawaii_ voter is Trump and the GOP think she can flip a Senate seat there.

I am proud to join my colleagues in filing an amicus brief standing up to Trump’s unconstitutional and un-American attack on birthright citizenship. Let me be clear: If you’re born on U.S. soil, you are a U.S. citizen. That’s not just common sense—it’s the Constitution.

Wall Street whispers Trump might be clinically insane, mortgage rates spike, Tesla halts orders in China, and Trump's trade war makes the U.S. a global pariah. Meanwhile, he's waiting by the phone hoping Xi will call. Today's bulletin →

Mood tonight

Kennedy needs to be institutionalized. This dude is legit batshit.

FUCK YEAH

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote. We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

@amy0227.bsky.social i love your icon

wait that dumb Ye guy makes music? since when

I was talking to a friend re how triggering this moment is for me as someone who lived through authoritarianism. She asked what we did to resist & it's community solidarity. Showing up, asking after people, mutual aid. That's resistance. (We also revolted but that's another, more complex, story...)

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

i keep thinking about this

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

What happened to “cutting waste”? ground.news/article/nati...

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

#Meningitis can kill within hours - and survivors may face lifelong impacts. It affects people of all ages, everywhere. WHO’s new guidelines aim to boost diagnosis treatment and care - so more survive, and fewer live with lasting effects. bit.ly/4jbQC96 #DefeatMeningitis

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”
