"taking nourishment" and "this press conference is an indication that I still have my wits about me" are pretty insane metrics for how a public official should decide whether to run, & yet it's this ubiquitous metric that explains a lot of Congress right now.

🔥🔥🔥

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

Also legalize direct vehicle sales and sell it as tariff relief for the middle class

Jon Stewart's whole message here is "Yes, I was wrong. But do you know how annoyed I was when you were trying to correct me? You should have tried differently." The words "my bad" never actually left his mouth.

If you are National Guard or active duty military & you are ordered to violate the Constitutional rights of your fellow Americans, call the Gl Rights Hotline 1-877-447-4487 There is support, you don't have to go through with it.

Admitting you were wrong, but simultaneously defending everything you did or said during that time you were wrong, is not admitting you were wrong. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.

GOP: "We will obstruct EVERYTHING. We will delay & refuse to vote & object & obfuscate just to get our way. We will stop at nothing." DEMs: "We will give you a concerned look until you decide to play by the rules again out of your sense of decency & decorum. We may also write a stern letter."

. Korea’s parliament vowed to impeach their president every single week until his party stopped covering for him or he resigned in disgrace. No other business got done. Meanwhile in America, we’re just…vibing through the collapse. 🥴 .

Straddles the line here but I think “people on Bluesky were right but extremely annoying” is too accurate of a take about all of us to be upset about

We've reached the point in our descent into fascism where the Jewish governor's house getting firebombed on Passover by a guy trying to bash his head in with a sledgehammer is overshadowed by the story of the President saying he wants to build foreign gulags for US citizens.

[eyes wet, lips quivering]: every homeowner had to update their language

In case you were wondering... this is the "break glass" moment.

The Trump-Musk regime is doing everything you'd do if you wanted to build a police state to surveil, detain and imprison anyone who speaks out against them without due process. I assume its because that's exactly what they're building.

I wonder if giant megacorps who can afford to purchase access to the president getting tariff exemptions will be good or bad for small businesses 🤔

So we basically have killed tens of thousands of the most vulnerable people, vaporized our medical tech capabilities, caused massive chaos in our most sensitive data centers, and gutted our national parks for budgetary pocket change?

When one person just wants to be left alone and another person wants to punish the first person for existing, that is not actually ideological diversity, that is one person being normal and another person being a cartoon villain.

One President wildly exceeded his authority by forgiving some student loans; a different President barely scratched the surface of his authority by disappearing anyone he pleases without trial to a foreign gulag. Constitutional law is a serious intellectual enterprise.

Not so subtle discrimination now that Meta has pulled policies on gender identity.

A 14-year-old American boy and his two friends were gunned down by Israeli soldiers Sunday night. Their largely American village in the West Bank is wondering why Trump and the U.S. government have said so little about the killing of one of its citizens.

incredible work re pollution and transportation pollution specifically

Let's speak plainly about what is happening. The First Amendment has been terminated for immigrants.

Next protest, April 19th.

What’s wrong with America? He’s selling your future, wrecking your rights, turning us into a dictatorship—and you’re silent. Where are the “America the Brave” folks with their trucks and guns now? All bark, no backbone. #resist

This only leads down very evil roads.

“they are getting rich directly off the market chaos that’s ruining your retirement and gutting your investments” is the kind of shit that makes people very angry

there is in fact no opposition party. If you're mad about that, I'm sorry. A few individuals who are elected try to push back. That does not an opposition party make. You should take this up with someone else.

Did the White House just admit to market manipulation?

If it walks like insider trading, and it quacks like insider trading...
