Downing Street today has politely told Marco Rubio to jog on and defended the right of women seeking abortions not to be 'harassed' by crackpots outside clinics, after US SoS linked a free trade deal to 'free speech' for pro-lifers

Hold on, so Steve Witkoff was participating in the Signal group discussing war plans against Houthis while being physically in Moscow, perhaps even in the Kremlin? He met Putin late on March 13. Obviously the odds of Russia not compromising any device he would bring there are pretty slim.

Thought I'd seen the dumbest, most ignorant take on Bluesky last year, but I was wrong. This person is living in a world that only exists in their own mind. As far as I can tell, the author is not even on Bluesky, so they've just fantasized what must be happening here.

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

weird thing about this framing is that this "personal best" is the second lowest for a president at this stage in their administration. the first is trump in his first term.

There's a school of thought which suggests that the only way to disable the fascist movement is to stop shielding MAGA voters from the consequences of their actions. Well, now that the GOP administration is disabling disease surveillance, response, and even basic research, there's no shield. 1/ 🧵

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

I remember when Schumer refused to bring the Military Justice Improvement Act to the floor. It had 66 yes votes. I never got an answer as to why. They ended up watering it down and folding it into the NDAA.

Yesterday, Trump targeted me at a speech be the Department of Justice. If he thinks it will cause me to back down he is wrong. My law firm is currently litigating 46 pro-democracy cases in 21 states, with more to come. We are not done fighting and we are not done winning.

1. Today, powerful speeches from trans representatives in Montana SJ Howell and Zooey Zephyr flipped 29 Republicans, killing anti-trans bills. While some Dems like Newsom abandon trans people, these reps show the power of representation. Watch their speech. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Trump Quisling MIke Johnson led House Republicans (And 10 cowardly Democrats) in censuring my Congressman Al Green for protesting the Tyrant Trump. I know Al Green. He will not be cowered. This is a racist move by Johnson who did nothing about white MAGA’s screaming like Banshees at Biden #ProudBlue

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.
