@schumer.senate.gov - anything about Mohsen Mahdwi? Or will you continue on this path of feckless leadership? #ResignChuckSchumer and let another step in and do the right thing because it’s clear you can’t.

The reckless firings of National Park Services employees makes me the saddest. The total economic value of the parks far exceeds the costs by multitudes. www.nps.gov/subjects/soc...

I love citizen research. Looking forward to an update.

@cornellbirds.bsky.social - Happy to have found you here on BlueSky!

Somehow my email address ended up on an R mailing list. It's amazing to me the inflammatory messaging used. Most are lie filled and as always, there's an element to inflame like this one:

AOC is calling out colleagues for stock trades before tariffs were paused: “Any member of Congress who purchased stocks in the last 48 hrs should probably disclose that now … It’s time to ban insider trading in Congress.” AOC is absolutely right. More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/saturdays-...

This part

This is why no member of Congress nor the executive office should be allowed to trade stocks. Blind trusts at best.

🔴 This is hilarious! 😂😂 Even 15 yrs ago, we KNEW Poilievre. 🔳 RICK MERCER: “We wanted to get some fun stories from people who have worked with Pierre before he became a Member of Parliament. Now unfortunately, we cannot find ANY evidence that he actually held what most of us would call ‘a JOB’.”

He ordered the Justice Department to go after two of his political opponents. Authoritarianism, plain and simple. Today’s show, live at 11am ET/8am PST, here.👇 m.youtube.com/@socialcontr...

To be clear, Speaker Johnson canceled the vote because too many Republicans wanted more cuts that screw over the working class to fund their additional tax cuts for corporations and billionaires. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

I want to point this out because it's easy to miss this detail: SCOTUS's ruling on the Alien Enemies Act is so horrifically bad that 𝗔𝗺𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁.

Seriously @schumer.senate.gov - you are well past your best before date. Time to step aside as you are no longer capable of leading.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Well @schumer.senate.gov - what's your plan? We can all bellyache just fine. You were elected to LEAD. So? Either do it or cede to someone who is willing to stand up for us. #ResignChuck

A GOP-controlled state appeals court ruled last week that over 65,000 lawful votes cast in North Carolina's Supreme Court race can be thrown out — potentially handing the race to the Republican candidate. This is what stealing an election actually looks like.

It cannot be overstated how insane and dangerous this argument is. They're saying that the government can illegally abduct and imprison people—and even admit that it screwed up!—and then remove the ability of any court to intervene by shipping the victim to a foreign gulag.

While the primary fault may lie with one man, there are 22 men and women refusing to uphold their oath to protect the Constitution. House Rs hold blame here.

If they can illegally send anyone to an El Salvador prison illegally and not bring them back, they can illegally send you to an El Salvador prison and not bring you back. How can anyone defend this?

Vaccine programs, disease surveillance, and hundreds of other essential jobs — completely gutted with a stroke of a pen. Cutting this funding and these jobs will both cost lives and put dedicated professionals out of a job. This is reckless and pointless. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

The obvious reality here, as Pierre well knows, is that he lost his lead as soon as Trump started attacking Canada. But MAGA lives in an online alternate reality created by their thought leaders like Turd.

Every Republican member of the Senate & House caused the stock market crash & predicted recession by refusing to use Congress’s constitutional authority over all tariffs to block the illegal Trump tariffs. Tonight @ Last Word @ msnbc 10pm

This is the real steal. Throwing out legal votes should never be allowed. Shame on North Carolina. Shame.

We don’t have to let Trump wreck our economy with tariffs—that’s a choice. The Constitution gives trade authority to Congress, not the President. Congress delegated tariff powers to the President and we can take them back. We have the bills (one is mine). We just need enough support to pass them.

Just when you thought someone couldn't be any more stupid... I present Howard Lutnick the US Commerce Secretary. Apparently, the EU won't take US beef as it's... checks notes... too beautiful? 😆

Congratulations @axolotlbiosciences.bsky.social on 5 years. May there be many more to come. #science #bioprinting #WomenInSTEM

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.
