We are way past impeachment time

#GVerse 😑

The administration is telling us that tariffs are the tool to a winning economy. And I’m saying, innovation is the tool! I want to innovate my way to that future, instead of berating the American consumer who has to pay the price for this policy.

Chuck Schumer: "Consumers are saying, 'If these tariffs are gonna hit, I better not go on that vacation to see Grandma. I better not buy that new car. I better not, you know, upgrade the groceries I'm buying.'" Go to visit Grandma? Upgrade the groceries? JFC. This guy has gotta go.

BREAKING: The D.C. Appeals Court’s 7-4 vote reverses a separate court decision that upheld Trump’s dismissal of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) member Gwynne Wilcox and Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) member Cathy Harris. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

All of you deserve the nations best to step up and help guide us. That’s why I asked recent former FDA chief and respected cardiologist Rob Califf to join me for episode 2 of Meidas Health! No nonsense, just the facts. @meidastouch.com @robcaliff.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/6NZM...

My first post on BlueSky, I could not access the same handle as my X (someone hacked into that one): So it's @peterhotez for X and @peterhotezmdphd for BlueSky I'm a pediatric-vaccine scientist based in Houston TX at our Texas Medical Center

Wow! The number of @bsky.app users just passed 34 MILLION! 👏 LETS DO THIS!

Trump chose to attend a Saudi-sponsored golf tournament rather than welcome home the remains of four soldiers. The vice president didn’t attended either. They don’t even pretend to care about service members. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT US.

This is criminal. It’s also why we’ve launched a podcast with the brilliant folks @meidastouch.com and forged a partnership with @aftunion.bsky.social — they will not prevail. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/w...

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

I will never forgive this stupid MFers who voted for him or the ones who stayed home.

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it. Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate. Because we don't have a minute to wait.

Again.

The Democratic Party does not have an identity crisis. We have a LEADERSHIP crisis.

This 👇

A third term? He’s not even 100 days in and he’s fucked up his 2nd term. Ain’t nobody asking for more.

Should a consitititonal amendment allowing third term pass a high ratification bar, I look forward to being President Barack Obama’s next and future Surgeon General. Lots of work to do and undo!

Teen Vogue FTW. They’ve been killing it lately. @schumer.senate.gov if you really truly cared about the country over the party, you’d step down as minority leader.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

I’m honored to reach millions more by partnering with @meidastouch.com - the nation’s #1 podcast - to provide regular evidenced-based medical and health updates to all of you. This has never been more important and I’m grateful for the trust!

For 5 yrs, I’ve warned you—I hate to say I told you so. I said if Donald Trump ever got back in office, he’d do everything in his power not to leave. Now, it’s unfolding.

This!!

Casar: One of the most important things I learned is how so many of the most right-wing elected officials break things, do not want services to work, and then campaign on them being broken in order to gain political power.

I continue to ask for, but do not see, blue state governors banding together to form a coalition to handle important multi-state fundctions. We need a blue state health coalition, a blue state environment coalition, a blue state education coalition and so on. We must not lose all of the key

Not everyone at Skadden welcomed their preemptive deal with the White House. Meet now former partner Brenna Trout Frey, who refused to be complicit in the exploitation of her firm to settle scores and erode the rule of law.

Honored to have hosted this event! www.times-advocate.com/articles/mor...

Respected physician leaders like Dr Peter Marks rightly want to maintain their integrity in defense of our profession. Thank you for your example and your years of service.

Before you get too excited because there are some Republicans going after Hegseth, remember, this allows them to look “reasonable” and not have to attack Trump

I don’t care what Donald Trump says about me. I wear his scorn as a badge of honor. But one lawyer — or even a thousand lawyers — won’t solve this problem alone. It will take the civic courage of thousands of leaders and millions of voters. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

In retrospect, there should have been more "Don't let these maniacs maim or kill your kids" ads.
