recent polling is just a total repudiation of the idea that full spectrum opposition to trump across every area was/is a bad idea

Trump’s FBI just arrested a sitting judge and turned it into a public spectacle. Defying court orders and bragging about arresting judges isn’t 'tough' — it’s authoritarian. Trump and his crony Kash Patel are openly declaring war on the rule of law.

"Arresting a judge" is about as obvious as it gets that they are going to do anything and everything to wrest power from the people and the constitution. It's not a troubling development - it's an act of war against the American system of government.

ActBlue is basically Venmo for political donations. It’s a payment processor that: ~ securely moves $ ~ doesn’t decide where the $ goes (the user does) ~ processes the transaction, like Venmo helps move $ to friends Trump isn’t fighting fraud. Just your ability to participate.

@msnbc.com please continue to have Rachel on 5 nites. We need her and her support for surviving trump!

Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!

Hello! I like you! From I am a Kitten by Ole Risom, illustrated by Jan Pfloog. 1970.

"So who voted for this? I personally don't remember Donald Trump's campaign promise to cut breast cancer research and to make menopause harder for American women,” says Chris Hayes on the Trump admin gutting the first and largest women’s health study.

“It's not a partisan issue. It’s not an ideological issue. So who voted for this? I personally don't remember Donald Trump's campaign promise to cut breast cancer research and to make menopause harder for American women,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social.

ICE is detaining international students, visa holders, and green card residents over their First Amendment-protected speech. If you’re in a state with a Democratic attorney general, urge them to push back on Trump’s destruction of due process & protect the right to dissent: bluestatedefiance.org/ice

THIS IS THE WAY! We band together and resist fascism. Together we are strong.

This is a great approach. Just give them a set amount and let them spend it on infrastructure and staff to grow the party at the state level. Steady cash flow is a constant battle in red states like Missouri. Great start @democrats.org

Let's wake up. He's REALLY unpopular for this early in a term or really ever. President's this unpopular are already losing. Power becomes harder to assert when your power is fading.

The Interior Department, now effectively controlled by Elon Musk’s staffer Tyler Hassen, is moving to scale back at least six national monuments.

We want trump to go away

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Four House Democrats, Reps. Robert Garcia (Calif.), Maxwell Frost (Fla.), Maxine Dexter (Ore.), and Yassamin Ansari (Ariz.), are traveling to El Salvador to advocate for the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was “mistakenly” deported to the country by the Trump administration.

This administration isn’t just reckless. It’s shameless. And if Congress doesn’t act now, it’s only going to get worse. Demand that your elected officials take a stand: indivisible.org/camp...

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

The defense secretary is accused of dangerous incompetence by insiders. The homeland security secretary has her purse and $3000 nicked. The FBI director flies gov't air to visit an NHL game and his country-singing girlfriend. The supposed pretext for a security state is that it makes you safer

DEAD MAN WALKING! Reports are coming in the White House has begun a search for a new Secretary of Defense after yet another colossal embarrassment by Pete Hegseth. This time there are reports of sharing classified strike plans in a group chat on his personal phone including his wife! My latest:

GOP Rep. Don Bacon making pretty explicit he wants Hegseth out at DoD, telling @Axios.com of the latest report on his Signal use: "If a Democrat did this we'd be demanding a scalp." "I don't like hypocrisy." www.axios.com/2025/04/21/d...

93 affordable housing units, 35 units for victims of domestic violence, 24 supportive housing units for people experiencing homelessness & more projects scrapped due to the administration’s severe cuts to NH’s public health funding and grants freeze. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/16/m...

Ooops! Ooopsie! Did we do that? We didn't mean to do that. Definitely don't blame us for doing that. Oops! Day one funding freeze Oops! Ebola Oops! Nuclear security workers Oops! Bird flu Oops! PEPFAR Oops! HHS firings And on and on and on... Now this. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/b...

It turns out a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster does not make for a good President.

Social Security helps seniors, people with disabilities, and families put food on the table, heat their homes, cover medical bills, and more. While the administration attempts to undermine these earned benefits, I’ll always fight to #ProtectSocialSecurity.

Deporting America citizens to a foreign gulag seems…dictatory.

Someone tried to burn down the Pennsylvania governor’s residence this weekend while his family was inside. There’s no excuse — ever — for political violence. We condemn it unequivocally. And more leaders across the board need to say the same.

Utah!! "The arena has a roughly 15,000-seat capacity, according to the university. An estimated 1,000 more packed the arena floor, and about 4,000 crowded outside the arena..." utahnewsdispatch.com/2025/04/13/b...

This is the message! A better world *is* possible. Life is not a zero sum game.
