Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

I worked for many years under grants. If we came up 85% below our goals we never would have gotten another cent. Scam? Theft more like it.

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

What? Jake Tapper asks a hard question?

I love this set in my collection showing that magic moment when a cat sees you and decides to come visit. ✨

I think people are starting to realize just how fucked we are in the States.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

My grandson is autistic and I’m terrified for him.

Current New Yorker with article about the founding and rise of Bluesky. Yes, and here we are.

Hey MSM – here's a career-making question for you to point blank ask RFKjr: "Please give the American public a succinct summary of the scientific method." He can't answer it.

The very definition of sickness is “not healthy” you sun-pickled doofus. You can be perfectly healthy until…you’re sick.

$45 BILLION

Exactly right.

I’m sure just coincidence.

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.

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.

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Well, he does have some help but he will take all the credit for the good stuff—more &$ for the rich—and none of the blame for the bad—hungry children everywhere.

Your assignment this week is to read a book that some “Mom for Liberty” would bring to a school board meeting and cry about.

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

There it is.

Warren Buffett, "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election.

Everything the Nee Yorker published is top notch. 100 years old this year, they have never been sued for libel or slander not even by Mr. Bigly.

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?

Just another example of the genius level of the 47 administration. And yes, Rubio is the brainiac of the bunch. #DemVoice1

Our government feels like when Scar took over after Mufasa died. Just a bunch of ecological damage and hyenas running around this mf.

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

The dream is dead

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

✅ crashes stock market ✅ fires long covid researchers ✅ puts quack in charge of HHS ✅ seems friendly with measles Holy sh*t. Did we just elect a coronavirus for president? 😱

The SAVE Act requires everyone to register to vote ➡️ in person. ⬅️ • Voter registration drives? Gone. • Online reg? Nope. • Proof of citizenship = passport or birth certificate only. Name must match drivers license. • Already registered? You'll need to do it again. • No transportation? Too bad.

She is evil.

fell for it again award

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

This is really dangerous. Consent decrees are usually issued to institutions that are really fu*king around with their programs. Like reallllly.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

And no one in America doubts why he's doing this.

Sure, Kamala Harris would have have preserved our global power and domestic prosperity. But she would have done so as a Black woman. by Pete Hegseth and Stephen Miller

tbh i didn't know one person could destroy the global economy

If he were honest he could claim the biggest grift ever.
