They are obviously slow learners

House Republicans just passed the SAVE Act to block millions of eligible citizens from voting. It includes barriers for all Americans, with even greater burderns and expense for married women, members of the military, rural voters, low income voters, and voters of color. #HandsOffHerVote

NEWS: The House narrowly voted to approve the GOP budget blueprint by a vote of 216-214, which aims to make massive cuts to Medicaid and give massive tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans.

I'm sure Trump's SEC will get right on that insider training.

Just saw crappiest report on #ABCNewsTonight with David Muir about the inhumane conditions at the El Salvadorian prison where immigrants were shipped without due process. @60minutes.bsky.social did a report confirming that up to 75% of the men ARE NOT CRIMINALS. No mention of that on ABC. #DoBetter

Breaking news: The European Union hit back at President Donald Trump’s steel tariffs Wednesday, approving levies up to 25 percent on a broad list of U.S. products.

At least half of the front-line lawyers in the elite Justice Department office that represents the Trump administration at the Supreme Court are preparing to leave or have already announced their departures.

Every damned word of this 4-graf brief, except “By WSJ Staff,” should scare the bejeesus out of you this morning. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Donald Trump has assembled the most inept and malevolent team of bootlickers, thugs, and sycophants in American history. The damage they’re doing will take a generation to reverse and that’s assuming we even get the chance.

Make no mistake, this is at the feet of the "Christian right" (led by Speaker Johnson) who claim the moral high ground - killing vulnerable children, the disabled, and the elderly here and abroad. Next up: #Medicaid cuts.

In less than one week, many Americans will no longer be able to apply for Social Security benefits over the phone, setting the stage for disruptions and upheaval. Nearly 6 million seniors live more than 46.6 miles, roundtrip, from a field office, per a new analysis. trib.al/5XSPqyL

NEW: Dr. Mehmet Oz pushed for AI health care at his first Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) all staff meeting as administrator this Monday, promoting the idea that AI avatars could replace frontline health care workers. from me and @stevenlevy.bsky.social:

"Some investors also felt a cultural affinity with the new administration that further clouded their judgment. When wokeness was ascendant, plenty of people in tech and finance quietly seethed at being guilt-tripped and forced to feign concern about social justice." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o...

The GOP is so AFRAID OF VOTERS that they're trying to pass the SAVE Act, a bill that would limit access to the polls & disenfranchise millions of Americans--especially married women who have changed their names. The House vote is THIS THURSDAY! Call and tell your House rep to vote NO. Script below.

Rather than bringing wrongly deported contributors back home, Trump is bringing the dictator who is getting paid millions of US dollars to jail them in his notorious mega-prison. Truly just horrible trolling from horrible people who get off on horrible trolling.

Please call before this Thurs! This is voter suppression, plain and simple! Call your Congressperson and Senators 202-224-3121.

Now listen to this in the context of the SCOTUS’ decision. Yes, you can get a lawyer and file a habeas petition IF you can get a lawyee. But when wheels go up on the flight you are gone. And from what we’re seeing in the Garcia case this Admin will fight like hell to keep you gone.
