This sums the whole situation up quite nicely.

Walz: I do want to give a huge shout out to our Canadian neighbors, they know that this is wrong. They stood up to it

Comments limited to mutuals, so will Quote. In one short life: - smoking drops 90%, lives lost to cancers fall sharply - lead in petrol & water stopped, IQ rises, violence and crime fall dramatically - urban smoke from coal gone, asthma & COPD fall sharply - CFCs removed, ozone hole repaired

Sorry but I just don't feel comfortable sharing public toilets with transphobes. At any moment they could just demand to have a look at my gennies. The law should protect women's spaces from these creeps.

Albert Einstein died on this day, April 18, 1955. It is incredible to hear Albert Einstein explain his famous formula, E=mc².

Thank you, Sen. Van Hollen, for standing up not just for Kilmar Abrego Garcia and his family but for every American who believes in due process. We can't stop speaking out until he is home and this administration is forced to stop its horrific practice of kidnapping people without charge or trial.

Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism. If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone. Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

This part

💥📊 NEW POLL: Over HALF of Brits think a closer relationship with the EU will have a positive impact on our economic growth. Our research backs this up too - deep alignment on goods and services with the EU could grow the economy by up to 1.5%, even with Trump’s tariffs.

MTG to be investigated for insider trading. SMITE!!

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

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

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, "Reciprocal tariffs would be 0% not 10%" "This s not the act of a friend" "American people will pay the biggest price on these tariffs"

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

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.

Nobody should travel to the US while ICE goons are on the rampage with impunity. Whatever rights you think you have, forget it.

By the way, both women who ran for president were right. They predicted this moment would happen. Says something very disturbing about our country that many still think they’re unrealistic or dramatic, when they were and are, in fact, correct.

This reminds me of Brexit and “blue passports”

If the UK had still been part of the EU then... A) The EU tariff would have been 16%-17% not 20% based on Trump's formula B) The UK would also have been subject to that 16%-17% tariff but crucially our trade would have remained MUCH higher (Brexit has hurt us much more than the tariff difference!)

We elected a man everyone who matters in this country knew was an idiot. The bulk of them refused to say so openly and directly — either because they thought he could do something for them or because there are political and journalistic norms against speaking that way.

👏

“Mike Galsworthy said: "The Brexit red lines are utterly obsolete. Everyone knows it and these data show, yet again, that the people of this country care much about the economy than self-flagellating with three self-imposed red lines following a referendum on a different question nine years ago."”

Trevor Philips, "Is the 10% tariff on the UK a benefit of Brexit?" Caroline Lucas, "Leaving the EU costs us 5% of GDP" "Trump's 10% tariff has an impact of 0.3%" "And this special relationship with the US is no better than an island with a whole load of penguins on it"
