The reason why Bluesky is left-leaning is that Elon Musk took Twitter and turned it into a right-wing cesspool. Not sure what all the hand-wringing is about.

Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

Waste fraud & abuse!

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

Seeing a lot of people demanding wildly unrealistic response to DOJ's contempt b4 Judge Xinis. This addresses some limitations to her ability to hold people in contempt. Another is that DOJ is defying her order to have decision-makers make the sworn declarations. She'll need to work thru that.

WOW. They grabbed her off the street even while the State Department itself said that she had done nothing wrong.

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

The bipartisan belief that America would be a better place if *other people* worked in a factory. www.ft.com/content/8459...

Things are getting so stupid so quickly I’m having trouble catching up

This ICE declarant “understands” nothing. There is no such thing as post-hoc invalidation of a lawful grant of withholding due to a future act which makes a person ineligible. If they want to get rid of it, they have to go through a process. They didn’t.

Last night at the Governor’s Residence, we experienced an attack not just on our family, but on the entire Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This kind of violence has become far too common in our society, and it has to stop.

I have seen a few questions regarding Democracy Docket: 1. It does not sell subscriber or member information or email addresses. 2. It is not part of Substack or ActBlue. It is fearlessly independent, unapologetically pro-democracy. Subscribe now. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newsletters

My God. Read this thread.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

"I really think we're helped a lot by the tariff situation that's going on, which is a good situation, not a bad. It's great."

@gtconway.bsky.social describes the “black hole for due process” of Trump’s immigration policies and says the notion that the Trump administration cannot bring home Kilmar Abrego Garcia is “bull”.

The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches? Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%. See the problem?

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

This is what Musk and DOGE have *actually* tried to do: -- Kill USAID (investigating Starlink) -- Kill CFPB (regulator for X to be payment app) -- Move $2.3 BILLION contract from Verizon to Starlink -- Force Social Security Administration to use X exclusively 100% CORRUPTION

Whatever the Abrego Garcia Court thought it was doing when it wrote "The District Court should clarify its directive, with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs," this is the result.

It is just modernized!

😂😂

Trump and his White House have publicly mused about sending Americans to El Salvador. Those conversations are happening behind the scenes, too, sources say — and revolve around plans to denaturalize U.S. citizens.

Mahmoud Khalil addressing the judge today: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Sen Lisa Murkowski: The Constitution gives Congress the power to assess and levy tariffs. Congress needs to reassert its authority as the Constitution prescribes.

they want jim crow history for a jim crow society

Yep. Trump just exempted smartphones & computers from the tariffs, which (1) shows the absence of any real planning (2) is contrary to what he and his admin said is the point of these tariffs and (3) does not fix the numerous other problems. There are so many vital widgets US businesses get abroad.

Patel lied, and the Senate believed him www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

apnews.com/article/soci... we know about the Social Security Administration listing thousands of living immigrants as dead

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

This is why people hate Washington. The President is bragging about his buddies' investments while people see their retirements go down the drain.

🚨BREAKING: North Carolina Supreme Court rejects Republican effort to disqualify more than 60,000 votes in close judicial election. However, GOP dominated court rules 4-2 that several thousand other ballots must be "cured" to be counted. Democratic candidate will continue legal fight in Fed court.
