I can’t believe how far we’ve fallen as a country—corruption, incompetence, and shameless grifting at the highest levels. This isn’t leadership; it’s a disgrace. We deserve better.

As a party, we are prisoners being held hostage by people who simply refuse to accept that their time has passed and won’t accept that others more capable right now. Stay in the Senate, but step down from leadership. It’s time for a new approach, a new face, & a new voice.

A charity tied to Gov. Ron DeSantis’s wife, Casey DeSantis, gave $10 million to nonprofit political committees that helped the governor defeat a ballot measure.

Trump’s organization is out here selling Trump 2028 hats like the Constitution is just a suggestion. Reminder: The 22nd Amendment exists. You can’t run for a third term.

Hegseth is either too dense to understand basic OPSEC or just doesn’t care. He’s leaked classified info multiple times over Signal like it’s WhatsApp. This isn’t just careless—it’s dangerously stupid. How is someone this reckless anywhere near national security?

Chris Van Hollen has pointed out that because El Salvador is a member of the ICC, not allowing Abrego Garcia access to legal representation is a violation, and places ES dictator, Bukele, in possible legal jeopardy, as well as possible legal sanctions.

Breaking News: A federal jury ruled against Sarah Palin in her yearslong defamation lawsuit against The New York Times.

Today is Day 11. Still no deals.

In just three months in office, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has produced a run of chaos that is unmatched in the Pentagon's recent history. His inner circle — military veterans who, like him, had little experience running large, complex organizations — is in shambles.

Very brave of Pete Hegseth to go on Fox & Friends to discuss his latest controversy. Another hard hitting interview.

No way this guy accidentally leaked war plans again

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did.

@jasmineforus.bsky.social: Abrego Garcia "a lot less criminal than the person that's sitting in the White House because last time I checked, he didn't have any criminal convictions."

Who made this?

DHS apparently does not stand for Department of Handbag Security

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

Days since Navarro said this: 10 Trade deals: 0

Our leaders are losing $3,000 in handbags and leaking attack plans in group chats—this isn’t just embarrassing, it’s dangerous. How are we supposed to trust people this reckless with national security? Total clown show at the top.

Gun registry? No. Autism registry? Yes? Fuck ALL the way off.

i don’t think pete hegseth has been doing a good job. sorry to have to put it like that but i just don’t

We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social is incredibly strong for showing up every day to face rude, bad-faith arguments and constant interruptions. Her mental toughness and calm under pressure are unmatched. She stands her ground with facts and grace while surrounded by noise and spin. Total respect.

Truth, right hereā€¦šŸ‘‡

Can we skip the 1938-1945 part and go right to Nuremberg?

h/t Aileen, Nancy & zoƫ - Thanks for the belly laugh. Needed it today.

🚨🚨🚨MAJOR BREAKING The Supreme Court has blocked the Trump administration's efforts to deport illegal aliens using the Alien Enemies Act, with Justices Thomas and Alito dissenting. This is a MASSIVE loss for Trump.

History always has a lesson.

Who do you blame for the war? Trump: ā€œJoe Bidenā€ Why is Russia murdering children? Trump: Biden Why won’t you deliver Patriot systems? Trump: Biden Why won’t Russia agree to a ceasefire? Trump: Biden Why can’t you easily broker a peace deal like you promised? Trump: Biden

Trump’s lies about Kilmar Abrego Garcia are disgusting. No charges, no trial, yet he’s still stuck in El Salvador while they smear his name with zero proof. The Supreme Court ruled in his favor—so why isn’t he home? This isn’t justice. It’s racism, cruelty, and pure corruption.

Americans are entitled to and should demand better than this from the President of the United States.

5 things Trump did this week: 1. Defied Supreme Court ruling to bring back a Maryland dad 2. Bragged about himself during the White House Easter Prayer Service and Dinner 3. Falsely claimed gas prices were $1.98 4. Swore in Dr. Oz 5. Kept the Epstein files safe another week

šŸ† Exciting news, Oilers fans! Draisaitl & Hyman set to return for Game 1 playoff debut on the road vs Kings. Time to show 'em what we're made of! šŸ”„šŸ’Ŗ #StanleyCup #LetsGoOilers

Sen. Chris Van Hollen met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man wrongly deported to El Salvador: ā€œMy main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.ā€

Van Hollen: And it's also important that people understand this case is not just about one man. It's about protecting the constitutional rights of everybody who resides in the United States of America.

Armed officials stopped Senator Chris Van Hollen from trying to visit the prison where Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia has been held for over a month.

Thankful for your leadership, @vanhollen.senate.gov. Marylanders are standing with you in your efforts to bring Kilmar home.

I interviewed Senator Van Hollen today about his efforts to speak to Kilmar Abrego Garcia:
