We’re certainly exceptional

Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress want to spend $7 trillion on tax handouts for billionaires and billionaire corporations. But who the heck knows what $7 trillion even is? I've got a list of things we could do with that money instead.

Person on the other side of the store… Nancy Mace:

I finally found my tweet from the last time this ridiculous bullshit popped up.🤣

Have at it maga!

American citizens protest against the Trump regime at the US Embassy in Dublin, Ireland, 19 April, 2025 #handsoff #nokings #3e #StopTrump #dueprocess

Unbelievable. Under Executive Order 14422, signed by President Trump on March 1, English is the the official language of the United States. Yet this insubordinate DOJ attorney used the word “Gomez” in court. He must be fired immediately and permanently barred from entering all federal buildings.

A friend of mine has coined the term “Pinocheting” to describe what the government is doing to these prisoners.

🧵1 Rachel Maddow is right, again. We should all know Trump plans to eliminate every penny of federal funding for Head Start. It isn’t a rumor. It’s in his actual 2026 draft budget. 750,000 kids. Gone. One of the most successful programs for families—slashed for MAGA spite. @maddow.msnbc.com

We made it onto @meidastouch.com y’all! 🤝 This is because of each and every one of YOU, posting, organizing, and showing up to fight for our democracy. The people’s movement is RISING!!!

“‘Pretty soon, within the next couple of weeks, everything regarding IT and cyber at the department will start to operationally reach a point of no return,’ one source, who was part of a team that managed these systems at HHS for a decade before being part of the RIF, alleges to WIRED.”

Giant health insurers and their middlemen jack up drug costs and drive community pharmacies out of business. @massago.bsky.social and 38 attorneys general just asked Congress to break these giants up. I have a bipartisan bill to do just that. Let’s get it done.

A New Hampshire real estate attorney and American citizen returning home from Canada says he was detained at the border without an explanation and "treated like a criminal."

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

There's no longer a Republican Party anymore.

I’m grateful @governor.pa.gov and his family are safe after a terrible attack — which was particularly horrific for a Jewish family on the first night of Passover. Hate and violence have no place in our country.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

Fuck Bill Maher for not going harder on the EMOTIONAL TERRORISM Trump inflicts on millions of Americans when he pulls his outrageous stunts. I don’t care if the adjudicated rapist is nice to you and Kid Rock over dinner while threatening the freedom, security & healthcare of everyday Americans.

Watching Goldman get sharply bearish vs. consensus on earnings — in just a matter of weeks — is one of the more interesting stories of the quarter. @mikezaccardi.bsky.social

Buying votes should be voter fraud.

JPM calls it “the fastest Momentum unwind in 40 years .. erased 2 years’ worth of gains and accelerated investors’ late-cycle positioning into Defensive / Low Vol ..”

Are you willing to suffer financially so Donald Trump can give huge tax breaks to billionaires? Because that is what he's asking Americans to do. Y or N in comments.

Didn’t Trump promise to end both the Russia Ukrainian war and the Israeli Palestinian war on day one with just a couple of phone calls?

What did 14 years of autocratic populism produce in Hungary? Poverty and corruption www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

How many abortions do you think Donald Trump has financed? Answer in comments.

@chrismurphyct.bsky.social and I walking into a PACKED house at UAW Region 1 here in Warren, MI! Republican Rep. John James refuses to hold a Townhall, so we did it for him!

As sure as the sun will rise tomorrow, he will be gone someday soon. Festivals will follow.

A documentary won an Oscar this month for highlighting repression that Palestinians face in the West Bank. And last night the Oscar-winning director was beaten and arrested, proving his point -- and underscoring the larger impunity, exacerbated by Trump. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/03...

No unelected billionaire with a chainsaw gets to shut down agencies and fire federal workers. It's illegal, and we're fighting back in court.

Setmayer: No, you got your chance and I'm going to have mine right now about this for the for the law enforcement officers who lost their careers, who almost lost their lives, who protected those ungrateful bastards…

This🔥🔥🔥 Take the damn gloves off. Assholes walk among us. We can’t nice our way out of this coup. They identify with the hatred, misogyny, and racism – they embrace it. Being nice and playing by the rules isn’t going to fix this. Period.

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

Republicans are the ones responsible for almost 80% of our debt and all of our current deficit. House just passed the budget bill with a $4 trillion increase in the national debt ceiling.
