To be real. Donald Trump's cognitive test is a very simple test that every senior citizen must do. It's no big deal.

Your weekend public health reminder; Do NOT ever listen to RFK Jr. Your health will thank you.

And the Mad King Trump jets off again; on our tax dollars to play golf at his resort...

` Federal workers told to snitch on "anti-Christian" co-workers Oh! Oh! I got some! Mike Johnson and every Republican who voted to cut Medicaid for poor people, Seniors and Children to give it to the rich! I am pretty sure that is openly anti-Christian behavior! 🤔

The ordeal of Rümeysa Öztürk. Öztürk was seized and taken away by masked men who refused to identify themselves. Until she arrived at what was recognizable as a police station in Lebanon, NH, hours later, she thought she had been kidnapped by the people who doxxed her.

Tell the Senate: Christians say vote NO on the SAVE Act: Christian nationalists are on the verge of silencing millions of women. Tell your senators to oppose the SAVE Act now. act.faithfulamerica.org/sign/senate_...

Quite a coincidence that Trump is hosting the President from El Salvadore next week at the W.H.

🚨NEW: The NC Supreme Court's GOP majority will retroactively nullify 2,000 to 7,000 ballots from military and overseas voters unless they quickly prove their identity—but only those who voted in a few Democratic counties. Could overturn Justice Riggs' victory. appellate.nccourts.org/orders.php?t...

Is there a reasonable possibility that the reason this Trump Administration is not bringing back the man held in El Salvador is b/c there was some under the table deal made w El Salvador? Whatever it was; El Salvador is holding Trump to it?

Seems to me that this Nazi like Trump ICE group is just saying anyone is a part of a gang so they can mistreat, abuse, and detain. Nazi Germany History is repeating itself in America.

A disgraced former Milwaukee cop with credibility issues helped seal the fate of a gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison. Cross was fired from his position as a Milwaukee Police Sergeant in 2012 after driving his car into a family’s home while intoxicated.

Has anyone seen the video @arimelber.bsky.social just ran re. the migrant Mom who was physically forced out of her car by masked ICE agents? Broke her car windows. This cannot be tolerated anymore!

Coal identity politics, coal affirmative action, coal on the rocks. "Unfortunately for Trump, the US coal industry suffers from some truly unavoidable economic realities. The last large coal-fired power plant built in the US came online in 2013; coal plants in the US are, on average, 45 years old."

The highest form of freedom in a democracy isn’t just the right to vote or protest—it’s the right to speak truth to power. To call out corruption. To challenge lies. To stand firm when the powerful demand silence. This is the freedom that sustains all others. hartmannreport.com/p/is-this-th...

People have to stop voting these horrible ppl back in office.

Whew -- get a load of that stock ticker in the bottom right corner during Trump's cabinet meeting. Grim stuff.

The Madness of King Trump Attorney & activist @gtconway.bsky.social joins The Left Hook to discuss how his former party is now a dangerous cult of personality that bends the knee to the whims of Trump, a narcissistic psychopath. thelefthook.substack.com/p/the-madnes...

Speaking of ideas, ICE is an utterly poisonous agency, hostile to the whole idea of America.

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

Not sure where "Donald The Mad King" is taking his showers; but seems he's the only one complaing about shower head water pressure. We needed an executive order for this? The Mad King is running naked throughout the W.H. asylum.

@arimelber.bsky.social Sorry Ari but I disagree w Rivera's take in this. He has 0 idea what these Countries told Trump. Trump ran scared. He saw things were going badly. He is an unchecked mad king.

If Trump has his way; if we don't keep standing up against what he's doing; the only network we'll be subjected to is Fox.. He's now dictating what news media we listen to. His authoritarianism must stop.

Not positive ppl understand the fact that if the Republican lawmakers gut Medicaid funding, State budgets won't be able to pay for the program.

These are not American values. Everyone.. every global citizen needs to keep protesting this Trump Administration. We can't look away.

Trump's tariffs have slammed Shein & Temu, shutting down the de minimis exemption. Starting May 2nd 2025, packages from China or Hong Kong valued under $800 will face a 30% tariff or a $25 fee PER ITEM, which will increase to $50 in June. The impact on American consumers will be huge.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is living for free in a DC townhouse owned by a GOP donor, where evangelical pastor Steve Berger also runs a secretive influence campaign. Berger openly brags about pushing lawmakers to create bills that serve his far-right agenda. How is this not illegal?

Are we winning yet?

Dear rest of the world, the USA is going through some things right now, but please stand by while We the People sort out this mess. The Dear Leader is a madman! #MAGAMorons

IMPORTANT: Sotomayor, in the dissent, emphasizes that all 9 justices believe that the Trump administration cannot do what it wants to do: shove people onto a plane with NO due process. They openly told the DC Circuit they were going to do that if they won. On that issue, they lost.

he did this just *after* going to the funeral of an 8 year old girl. he walks away from where the hearse is idling and immediately starts hyping this stuff again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
