Just heard from a friend, a low-information voter in a red county, in a red state, on disability. People she knows are being sent letters to return overpayments in a lump sum they can’t afford. Re-thinking Trump vote a little too late.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

Trump just denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it “unwarranted.”

About 90% of the 238 migrants sent to El Salvador lacked a U.S. criminal record

What good did this do? Did Trump agree to return the people that were illegally abducted and sent to an El Salvador prison? Did he agree to stop treating our allies like enemies? Did he capitulate that the election theft claims of 2020 were lies? No, but he got a great new “prop”, didn’t he?

$1B Big Law Traitors. 🇺🇲 Reminder! 🇺🇲 Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved & which stood up to the Trump regime. They created this spreadsheet (needs today's traitors added!): Legal Industry Responses To Fascist Attacks docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Nearly 400 books have been pulled from the Naval Academy's library. I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings and Memorializing the Holocaust have been removed. But they had no problem with The Bell Curve and Mein Kampf. Who’s In and Who’s Out at the Naval Academy’s Library? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

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

State department staff told to report colleagues for ‘anti-Christian bias’

Trump’s low level cabinet appointees are demanding 24/7 security teams costing millions. Trump charges Secret Service for staying at Mar-A-Lago every weekend (which goes into his pocket). But we have to defund local libraries and close SS offices?!?

A Maine pole vaulter cleared the bar to win the state title. Waiting below was Donald Trump. https://www.chalkbeat.org/2025/04/12/trump-administration-fights-maine-over-trans-athletes-and-title-ix/

The Trump administration announced Friday it would delay the implementation of a Biden-era rule meant to restrict coverage of unproven and costly bandages known as skin substitutes. The policy will be delayed until 2026, allowing companies to continue setting high prices for new products.

The Justice Department asked a federal judge late Thursday to release a former FBI informant from prison pending appeal of his conviction on charges that he peddled misleading claims seized on by Trump allies to falsely accuse the Biden family of taking bribes.

President Donald Trump late Friday signed a memorandum directing several agencies to start militarizing a stretch of the southern border, an escalation of the administration’s use of the U.S. military amid its immigration crackdown. By @arianalfigueroa.bsky.social

So Marco Rubio has declared us under the THOUGHT POLICE!?!

If we don’t have enough money to keep agencies open - how do we gave money for tax cuts?

Thus all has to stop. We are killing people who depended on us! We were a good and a refuge-we are losing everything we have stood for!

Social media reports claim that federal immigration agents were knocking on doors for wellness checks and using the tactic to find people to deport. ICE confirmed they're investigating potential trafficking of unaccompanied minors released to sponsors.

When you’re in a budget deficit WHY would you cut taxes?

Tensions rise in the Arctic as the US, Russia, and China compete for influence - from military build-up to economic ambition, the once-quiet region is becoming a global power battleground.

Johnson carefully wording. No cuts to benefits for “eligible” recipients. Read between the lines, eligibility will change!

A pilot union has expressed “serious concern” over Cathay Pacific executives' pay hikes as the airline still "struggles with severe staff shortages." In full: buff.ly/bezqBKW

Trump administration’s pressure on universities echoes past authoritarian efforts in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. Over 50 schools face federal probes for alleged discrimination. A comparative and international education expert explains: buff.ly/0Ludxjf @isilova.bsky.social, Arizona State 🗃️

Sounds like Trump is taking Putin’s lead in retribution of his challengers.
