This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

A powerful message to opposition leaders, dissidents, cooperators, operatives and allies in Iran, Russia, and around the globe. After you are done risking your life to help us, we will sell you out and screw you over. Because the current govt will use you and discard you.

Trump doesn’t understand why everyone hates Putin today since the Soviet Union was our ally in WWII, but everyone likes Japan and Germany now. He says he can’t understand it and neither can Putin. Dumbest MF on the planet.

As Joni Ernst points out, we’re all going to die eventually anyway so no biggie.

Russian fascist who has been dubbed ‘Putin’s Brain’ is sad to see Musk leave govt, but appreciates what he was able to do for them in the time he was there.

This is what an authoritarian regime would do. Hidden deep in Trump’s 1,100-page bill that passed the House today is a provision that would block federal courts from enforcing contempt charges against government officials who violate court orders.

No wonder #Republicans are trying to pass this in the middle of the night. This isn't policy - it's a joke. #BigBullshitBill

Inside Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill”: Judicial Silencing (Sec. 80121(h)). This might be the most authoritarian section in the entire 1,100+ page bill.

Neguse was grilling Jim Jordan so hard this morning over language in the reconciliation bill to restrict federal judges' ability to enforce court penalties that Jordan had to consult with his lawyers

Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"

The Trump administration cut federal funding for a research project at Cornell University aimed at developing a heart pump designed for babies and children with congenital heart defects bringing the effort to a halt.

🇺🇦 Today, Ukrainian Air Forces destroyed a key drone command post in Russia’s #Kursk region—yes, frontlines are now inside #Russia! Despite #Kremlin claims, Ukrainian troops remain effective. We only want Ukraine’s 1991 borders, reminding Russia of theirs. Share & subscribe—it’s crucial! 🚀✨

Louder for the voters in the back!

Menomonie, WI. Happy May Day!

See you all out there today! Let’s make some good trouble. ✊

He is just completely disconnected from the reality of how his policies impact average Americans, and he is surrounded my sycophants 24/7 who tell him that he’s the greatest, everything is perfect, and everyone loves him. He lives in a fantasy world.

Making #Trump & #Zelenskyy talk in #Rome 🇮🇹 was crucial — not just to protect #Ukraine 🇺🇦, but also to help save the U.S. 🇺🇸 from a massive moral collapse 💥 if Trump fully embraces #Putin ☠️. #StandWithUkraine 💙💛 #Rome #Starmer #Macron 🇫🇷 #Vatican ✝️

Sen. Tammy Baldwin: "In the United States, we have a system of checks and balances and separations of power for damn good reasons. The President's administration arresting a sitting judge is a gravely serious and drastic move, and it threatens to breach those very separations of power."

Fascism is when a leader uses the power of the state to control or coerce private institutions—like Trump has tried to do with universities and private companies such as Apple. His attempts to dictate what schools can teach or how businesses should operate are textbook authoritarianism. Harvard

Analysis:

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
