My use of “motherfucker/s” will be increasing. (If that’s a problem for you I’d urge you to unfollow,now) These motherfuckers are stomping the hell out of the Constitution. That’s un-fucking acceptable. Anyone else pissed the fuck off?

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Apparently not a joke x.com/Stef4NewYork... Endless numbers of white nationalists in senior positions. Tell me again how concerned you are about antisemitism.

Punch a bully in the nose and see what happens

Today, all of you helped shift the narrative. You can see it clearly in the wave of MAGA comments trying to drown us out, they’re rattled. Small towns across the Heartland drawing record-breaking crowds? That’s not something we’ve seen before.

👇 AOC nails it: " We'll rally every corner of the United States of America until we save Medicaid and Medicare for every American until we defend Social Security. And we tell them who's really in charge in this country!" #MedicaidCutsKillUS

In several cases, DOJ is working overtime to try to prevent any discovery about the Trump administration and DOGE's activities. Seems like they have a lot to hide.

The NYT confirms this photo was intentionally staged: "A Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Van Hollen and Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...

MUST WATCH: U.S. Congressman Tom Burchett just proposed sending American citizens to El Salvador’s infamous prisons — where inmates are starved, tortured, and stripped naked for days. That’s a public declaration of state violence against citizens.

This is some sick shit

Embarrassing that this sycophantic ass-clown is representing us on the world stage. We have become a joke to the world in 3 months.

🤣

UPDATE: It happened. In an 11:15 meeting, employees were told that the office has been eliminated and their positions will be terminated.

“Sickening and heartbreaking” Someone who was at the Marge Greene town hall where folks who dissented were arrested/targeted/tased by police — who has voted for both parties — writes about what she saw 👇🏽

THREE EQUAL BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT. It’s in our Constitution and at the very heart of our democracy. Article 3 establishes the judicial branch. It’s the job of judges to determine if the actions of the Administration violate our laws. Full. Stop. That’s how our democracy works.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

DOGE was never about savings. It was always about surveillance. Over the weekend, we released new details—and now whistleblowers are coming forward too. What’s becoming clearer by the day: DOGE isn’t a government efficiency program. It’s a data weapon aimed at the American people.

He’s going to be fired because he outed the fact that Musk arranged with Hegseth to get a top secret briefing at the Pentagon. Trump and his Chief of Staff didn’t even know about it. As usual, in Trump World, the person who does the right thing is the one who is punished.

Karmic that @apnews.com, after being barred from the White House, broke the terms of the CECOT agreement that DOJ has refused to produce.

Hey, do you know what you call a guy who never admits a mistake, who becomes President of the United States by never admitting a mistake, who then convinces his entire presidential administration to never admit—let alone correct—any mistake, leading to innocents getting life sentences? A sociopath.

CNN’s leading fact checker found little truth in Stephen Miller's rant in the Oval Office.

DOGE has reportedly gained access to sensitive NLRB data — including info on union activity, workplace complaints, and names of organizers. Coincidentally, the NLRB has multiple lawsuits against SpaceX and Tesla. The conflicts of interest just keep getting more blatant.

🚨Attention Members of the DC Bar🚨 Ballots went out today for key positions in the DC bar. Please vote for: Diane Seltzer for President Amanda Molina for Treasurer Note: Seltzer is running against Pam Bondi's brother. Get your ballot and vote ASAP.

What the f*ck?

Correct.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

HAPPENING NOW: Protesters have gathered outside the Maryland courthouse where Judge Xinis is holding a hearing regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Dan Caldwell is fired from the Pentagon for leaking inconvenient information that threatened to embarrass Donald Trump. Pete Hegseth is *not* fired from the Pentagon for leaking top secret military information that threatened the lives of our pilots overseas. #TrumpPriorities

Trump is now talking about shipping U.S. citizens to prisons in El Salvador. Let me say that again: U.S. citizens. To foreign prisons. This is not just unconstitutional—it’s unhinged.

Right now...do the one thing you can unquestionably do that you know we all need to do more of: BREATHE. Take a slow, deep breath through your nose for a 4-count, and then a slow and extended exhalation through pursed lips for an 8-count. It doesn't change what's out "there," but it changes you.

I think I’m right

Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.

Make no mistake—this has never been about states’ rights. Republicans are hell bent on punishing and criminalizing doctors for providing health care. It’s chilling. And we are going to fight it. www.notus.org/policy/abort...

Best news about Harvard since it beat Yale 29-29.

“When Donald Trump says something depraved, we should believe it, … because there is no limit to his moral depravity. … This is a war on due process. He wants … to dictate the fates of individuals, including American citizens, without … court[s].”

Jeffries: The Supreme Court and or the federal district court actually needs to enforce its order. And the vehicles that are available relate to contempt, and that contempt can be directed at a variety of different members of the administration, including the Secretary of State…

I will say this - EVERYONE with power seems to be desperately hoping that unpopularity does the work that consequences need to do

ICYMI This happened today. On camera. And neither country’s leader has any intention of returning Garcia to the United States. Are we great yet?
