Good morning Blue Sky Friends.

On a lighter note.....

My town is a small boat and horse town (pop. 12k), trends white and churchy, so I was expecting to see a dozen or so people in a small huddle. Not hundreds lining the road on all four corners. #HandsOff

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

Top 5 signs @jamieraskin saw in DC today: 1. “Elon Musk is the only undocumented immigrant taking your job” 2. “Neuter your Doge” 3. “Donald Trump, Russian-Owned since 1987” 4. “The Emperor has no clothes and it ain’t pretty” 5. “Buy America: Putin did”

Ooooh I got my first magazine photo credits today! www.washingtonian.com/2025/04/05/p...

Was explaining to David (11) the tariff stuff and what a tariff is and he was like “you mean like what started the revolutionary war?” And I was like; yes exactly.

The last day on which a majority of the Supreme Court’s justices had been appointed by Democratic presidents was May 14, 1969. One of the things we do in the legal academy is support our claims with facts.

“These professional podcasters stand in front of a bunch of career scientists and say ‘What has science ever done?’ I don’t know, science eradicated measles until two months ago...” www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

How can any Senator think Whitaker will honor our NATO alliance.

Absolutely horrible for museums and libraries. The arts continue to be decimated: bookriot.com/imls-gutted/

Musk has been given more power over the federal government than any other private individual since the founding. This is the world that the Supreme Court’s campaign-finance deregulation efforts have created.

Butter?

Fourteen hours later, he's still going. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov, for using your voice to alert people to Trump and Musk's wrecking ball to Social Security and other vital services Americans rely on.

Is it okay to give the voters ice cream if you tuck a million dollars into the waffle cone?

So the Executive Order “MAKING THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA SAFE & BEAUTIFUL” appears to have paramilitary hopes. “Task Force” members come from US Marshal’s, FBI & Homeland Security to deploy “a more robust Federal law enforcement presence” in DC & enforce “unpermitted disturbances & demonstrations”

EXACTLY! Why would they want to downgrade their standards of living?

Some good news for a change…👇

If other Senators come to support Cory Booker and extend this effort indefinitely Democrats can put a stop to Trump and Musk-at least temporarily And that could save thousands of lives THIS is the kind of fight we want from Democrats @schumer.senate.gov If you can't do it Get out of the way

This is exactly what his campaign tariff policy promised. He was promising to destroy the market & the economy. But most campaign reporters didn’t comprehend that.

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

Simply believing that our leaders will do what is right is irresponsible now. Trusting that everything will work out simply because it always tended work out in the past is a fool's delusion. . johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/no-its-not...

My maternal grandmother died in the 1918 flu pandemic. RFK Jr can go fuck himself.

Someone I know cancelled their trip to the US because, according to them, "it looks too crazy over there." He lives in Pakistan, folks.

senate floor right now... senator cory booker www.c-span.org/event/us-sen...

Trump on emissions standards for cars: "It doesn't mean a damn bit of difference to the environment. It doesn't matter."

What an amazing coincidence that the chair of Wisconsin College Republicans got one of Elon Musk's $1 million checks in Musk's most-likely-illegal stunt to bribe the voters. MAGA Republicans are con artists trolling for easy marks. Don't be one, Wisconsinites.

"The problem with a delayed response is that the more power leaders with authoritarian tendencies accumulate, the harder it is to mount an effective resistance. The opposition is thus more likely to succeed if it acts early..." www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

US women deserve better

It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

New Rubio order (leaked to me) directs the State Department to spy on student visa holders and applicants social media for "a hostile attitude toward U.S. citizens or U.S. culture (including government, institutions, or founding principles).” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...
