🤣

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

There’s no immigration crisis—he’s trying to create one. Just like the “autism epidemic.” Make up a problem, distract from the real ones. Right out of the same old playbook. #MomSky

This is horrifying. Good on these principals & the superintendent for protecting their kids. I hope all others follow suit.

Paying an extortionist -- where do you think it ends? Do you think he honors his side of the supposed "deal"? Really? Meanwhile, as Big Law ill-advisedly pays the protection racket, there's a huge need for lawyers to help regular people Trump is illegally targeting: www.cm-life.com/article/2025...

Welp, got an answer to this question: Apparently the answer is no tariffs are being collected. Trump broke the system www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/c...

A Vice Admiral of the Navy was fired this weekend. Her crime? Not posting photos of a Russian asset and a Fox News host at NATO Headquarters. A 38 year veteran who refused to roll over for Krasnov and his goons. Well done, ma'am. mustreadalaska.com/navy-vice-ad...

Congressional Republicans are turning their backs on Americans to pay for tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy. This budget resolution lays the foundation for Trump to gut Medicaid and strip resources from seniors, veterans, those with disabilities, children, and working families.

🚨 There are 32 House Republicans who won by 15 points or less last November. 31 of them just voted to gut #Medicaid/CHIP & #SNAP along w/other critical programs. In #ALASKA, Nick Begich won by just 2.0%. 250,000 Alaskans, or over 33% of the total population, depend on Medicaid/CHIP.

@schumer.senate.gov if you cannot convince every democratic senator to vote against the #SAVEact, you aren’t doing your job.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

This sounds like if Joni Mitchell grew up listening to Tool, I love it soooooo much

Federal agents wearing plain clothes tried to question kids at elementary schools in L.A. on Monday, according to a reporter at Spectrum News. "Superintendent Carvahlo said the agents claimed they had parent permission to question the kids, but it wasn't true"

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

RFK Jr. has the audacity to praise the CDC for their response to the measles outbreak in 22 states. There shouldn't have been a measles outbreak in the first place. This is absolutely nothing to celebrate. Three people are dead.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

No Doubt In My Mind! Criminal Behavior Continues…

Two more wins for trans people in Montana! (1) A bill creating a new "indecent exposure" crime for trans people was amended to remove the anti-trans provision. (2) A bill allowing detransitoners to sue their doctor was amended to only be valid if the doctors didn't follow medical best practices.

Let’s break this down: in summary- he’s shat his pants because US treasury bonds were being sold off like lemonade in a desert. He’s fucked up big time. And any other spin is bullshit.

I’m no expert on tariffs, but I do know that wildly fluctuating economic chaos is a recipe for disaster for business planning. 🤦🏻‍♀️

This isn't The Art of the Deal. It's insider trading with a bad comb-over. Step 1: Tank the Market, Scare the Non-Millionaires Step 2: Let the Aristocrats Feast Step 3: Flip, but say ‘Winning’ Step 4: Pretend None of This Ever Happened & Get Your Media Dregs To Do The Same Rinse, Enrich, Repeat.

Never fails

We found the voter fraud!!!!!

Biggest mistakes I'm seeing in early reporting (thread): 1. Tariffmageddon isn't over: Lotsa tariffs to account for, but the average tariff rate is only down around one quarter. So most of the pain of Liberation Day is still with us.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

imagine being this pathetic, servile and eager to gulp up the slop

I'm seeing grown-ass adults marvel at how high stocks jumped today - they must think their mom actually vanished when she played "peek-a-boo."

I cannot help but think the tariff debacle was mostly a diversion to take the focus off national security with Pete's Signal fuckup and the horrendous policy to deport immigants without due process. We need to object to the human rights of even the criminals deported to facilities we don't control.

pro tip: if your government claims to have no money for children's heathcare but will eagerly waste millions on a gaudy military parade to stroke the fragile ego of a broken-inside president, you just might live in a shithole country

Y'all are going to be begging for DEI to come back. Because this is peak whiteness right now, and it's looking pretty damn inept.
