Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

The European Union and China are now starting negotiations to abolish EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This is a major strategic failure for the United States.

NASA’s budget would be slashed nearly in half under Trump’s current proposal to Congress—a move that would wipe out billions in ongoing and future missions. Wonder who that benefits? (Sarcasm, of course.)

The Social Security system is crashing, locking senior citizens out for long stretches nearly every day. And Trump's solution is to lay off 1000 more workers and slash the IT budget by 50%. Start asking if the purpose is to crash our economy and society. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

I feel like “Republicans stole 32 grand from you last year, and that was before they broke into the treasury” would be good messaging.

“They are coming for Social Security,” is the take home message, per MSNBC analysts, given the amount of time Hyperbole spent on so-called “fraud and abuse” in Social Security. In fact, the SSA has coded 1875 birth dates when staff knew that information in a file was missing.

Up is down, down is up per President Hyperbole. Peace depends only on Russia withdrawing.“Trump has falsely claimed that Ukraine started the war, has refused to acknowledge Russia’s invasion of the country, and has disparaged Zelensky as a “dictator” while refusing to call Putin one.” NYT

How do Americans contribute money to Ukraine’s fight against the aggressor, Russia? We can have peace tomorrow if Russia withdraws.

Here's what the idiots in the White House utterly fail to comprehend. They and the US came out of that argument weaker. Zelensky came out stronger, with Europe rallying behind Ukraine more than before. They came out looking like petulant idiots; he came out looking like a leader with integrity.

Re invisible infrastructure (see repost), a report said air traffic controllers are on mandatory 6-day work weeks and 10-hour days. And they’re firing people?!?! Another near collision at Midway this past week.

Here’s a term: Invisible infrastructure = the people and systems that keep us safe behind the scenes that we never think about. All these airline accidents and near misses really make you realize just how much we depend on what we never see.

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight. Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

The House will vote this week on the GOP's budget proposal, which includes massive cuts to Medicaid and food stamps to pay for even more tax cuts for the rich. Call your representatives now and tell them to reject it: (202) 224-3121

In occupied France, people would drop their used matches folded into a V, as a secret sign of resistance. People who opposed the Nazis would see them, knew they weren't alone, & felt emboldened to take action. Some modern day equivalents here--small but powerful actions you can absolutely do:

8. Sen Chris Murphy contd: I need you to amplify what’s happening, support the leaders who are fighting…to (speak)…against Musk and Trump’s billionaire cronies, and show up at rallies and town halls. Use every tool at your disposal to send a message loud and clear…

3. From Sen Chris Murphy …One, Republicans were forced to put their opinion on record — many for the first time — on the most corrupt parts of Trump and Musk’s agenda. Two…I am going to make every process and procedure as slow and painful as possible…

6. Sen Chris Murphy contd: This is a five-alarm fire.I don’t think we have two years to plan and fight back.I think we have months. It’s still in our power to stop the destruction of our democracy with mass mobilization and effective opposition from elected officials….

5. From Sen Chris Murphy contd: The whole game for Republicans is taking your money and giving it to the wealthiest…They know what they are doing is deeply unpopular…a tax cut to the most wealthy that is 850 times larger than what they are offering working people….

4. From Sen Murphy continued: We proposed no tax cuts for anyone who makes a billion dollars a year. We made them vote on whether or not Elon Musk and DOGE should have limitless access to Americans’ personal data…Every Republican voted against our proposal to prevent more tax cuts for billionaires.

2. From Sen Chris Murphy So I want to explain what happened last night….The apex of Republicans’ plan …is a giant tax cut for billionaires and corporations. And they plan to pay for it with cuts to programs that working people rely on.Popular and necessary programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP…
