I don’t want to read about a former President’s mental decline because a journalist got a book deal. I want to read a report about the current President’s mental decline by a journalist brave enough to speak out now.

It’s plain for all to see.

🚨NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social: Republican Medicaid cuts will kill an estimated 21,600 people. These deaths are preventable—and Trump and Republicans are CHOOSING to vote to kill. Here's a district breakdown—tell your rep to VOTE NO (202) 224-3121: www.americanprogress.org/article/hous...

Scientists were able to create a bespoke treatment for KJ Muldoon’s rare genetic disorder within six months. It could be a blueprint for potentially life-saving, gene-editing Crispr therapies. www.wired.com/story/a-baby...

Speaker Johnson, it's Police Week. Why won't you hang this plaque honoring Capitol Police?

MAGA influencers are demanding that Attorney General Pam Bondi arrest and prosecute a MeidasTouch host—for the “crime” of reporting the news. If they think intimidation will silence us, they’ve got another thing coming.

Sick of corporate media downplaying the chaos, acting like any of this is normal? Listen to the MeidasTouch Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere else you get podcasts.

The rest of the world is prepared to take advantage of our feckless, idiotic, and myopic government led by unqualified right-wing TV hosts and social media influencers as Trump ushers in a new era of American mediocrity.

Heading into mid-May and they still haven’t passed a budget or tax bill, but House Republicans are laser-focused on the things that really matter.

Mari’s quote was perfect. The administration is clearly incompetent and corrupt but the real responsibility lies with the republicans in Congress. They have neglected their duty and not upheld their oath. They had the power to stop all of this nonsense. 😡

With nearly 40 years of legal practice, lawyer Abbe Lowell has represented many powerful people. Now he's starting a new law firm to represent those who have drawn the ire of President Trump. By @carriejohnson.bsky.social

The Attorney General is so unserious. If you’re a prosecutor who is serious about obtaining a conviction, you don’t go on Fox and talk about the (alleged) facts of the case like this. Has Bondi read the Justice Manual? Has Bondi heard of pretrial publicity motions? How about bar ethics rules?

Co-sign.

One million people checked out my list of the Top 15 signs from the Hands Off protest two weeks ago. These are my favorite new ones from yesterday. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

If facts hurt your feelings, you need new feelings, not new facts.

Have any of the White House reporters even attempted to ask the Trump administration why it keeps saying that Abrego Garcia is in the domestic custody of a foreign sovereign when all evidence suggests that El Salvador is holding him *on behalf of the United States* pursuant to a contract?

People need to be hearing about this shit every single day. Zoom in on literally anything here.

This is the line of people still outside hoping to get into the @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social event, but they were just told the Adams Center is at capacity. They are setting up an overflow area right now and told people a special guest would be coming out to address the crowd.

People are still filing in for the @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social event in Missoula. They’re supposed to take the stage in just under an hour.

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

NEWS: Hong Kong has suspended postal service for all goods being sent to the United States, saying the U.S is "unreasonable, bullying, and imposing tariffs abusively."

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

MAJOR SCOOP: The local detective who first accused Mr. Abrego Garcia of being a member of MS-31 was suspended from the police force and indicted merely WEEKS LATER for providing confidential information to a sex worker who he was paying in exchange for sexual acts.

A federal judge just ordered intensive expedited discovery into Trump’s illegal deportation of Abrego Garcia. The latest:

At this point, Judge Xinis should order the immediate return under threat of contempt and let the Supreme Court tell the Administration otherwise.

Harvard rejects Trump administration’s demands with federal funding at risk. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

We need ideas like this. We've got to put all constructive thoughts out there, long odds or not. If we don't, we guarantee they won't materialize. So thanks @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social. Maybe this'll get a few Republicans thinking harder about history than their next election.

Will just leave this clip here of Kris Kristofferson, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings talking about what’s wrong with America from a 1991 interview and it’s still all very true today

Senator Adam Schiff has announced that, due to the chaos surrounding tariff policy, he will investigate whether anyone engaged in insider trading. Trump may be immune from prosecution, but those around him are not. — It’s time to decimate this MAGA circle.

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.
