Update: 49 of 49. We just ran the table in what was once one of the most Republican counties in the US.

Must’ve cost big bucks to pay millions of people in 1,100 cities.

The is no limit to how much brutality the Trump admin is willing to allow Russia to get away with. They have never once condemned a single atrocity committed by Putin. Trump played golf while this happened and didn’t say a word about it.

This is good. This is important.

Some judges are telling the fElon #HandsOff too. Almost 350 of them. They’ve signed an amicus brief backing the Perkins Coie law firm in its suit against the Trump regime. Another brief signed by more than 300 law firms is expected. #HandsOff the rule of law! archive.ph/2025.04.04-1...

Convicted Felon, Donald Trump’s March 25th Executive Order targeting voter registration is an authoritarian move to prevent free and fair elections. Listen to @marcelias.bsky.social explain why we need to be paying attention. www.msnbc.com/katie-phang/...

Yes, because what's holding the US back from greatness is our lack of "wood independence". 🙄 Logging these >100 year old trees will be disastrous for climate.

The entire budget of the National Endowment for the Humanities (which has been devastated by Trump & Musk) is 3% of this.

I like that I just heard @mollyjongfast.bsky.social on TV say this is in part a response to Democrats failing to address corruption after the first Trump term—so that this is a battle between those who would cave & those who want to fight. Ppl are not just mad at Trump; they’re mad at their leaders.

This was prevented by the post-Watergate legislation: lobbying, campaign finance, foreign interference, the budget. On the watchtowers, we fell asleep. The lawyers and lobbyists burrowed and darted from shadow to shadow. The rich man's money won out. Every reform was undermined or gone.

Do you blame them? I do not

If we have normal elections, and Democrats are able to get back in power we need to take a long hard look at how to enact the same kind of anti-corruption laws that helped prevent another Nixon for decades and decades and decades.

Was at the Boston rally yesterday. Rstimating 100,000 people. Wow!

Pritzker: You know, I was asked the other day if I could say one thing to Donald Trump, what would it be? And I said, “What does Putin have on you?” Everybody rational understands that Putin is trying to rebuild the old Russian Empire. And Donald Trump is literally handing it to him.

This is insane

The entire world seems to understand this except Trump, Vance, Musk, many Fox hosts, and their cult.

Ruth Marcus reports on the Trump Administration’s defiance of a court order to stop the deportation of Venezuelan immigrants—and an extraordinary exchange between the Justice Department and a federal judge at an emergency hearing on Monday.

If you let the executive deport people to a foreign gulag just by pronouncing the word “terrorism,” then expect to be called a “terrorist” soon yourself.

Thread: Not Like Us. We need to focus on the warriors; not the wimps

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

Dismantling the federal government is wildly unpopular.

Three years ago, three other reporters and I ID'd and called any school accused of having litter boxes for furries. We found one (1) in the entire country: Columbine's school district. Cat litter was for a "go bucket," in case kids were locked in during a shooting. www.nbcnews.com/tech/misinfo...

Four times in the past week, Trump has interrupted a press pool Q&A to ask, "Who are you with?" On one occasion it was because he loved a Breitbart correspondent's puffy queries. The other three times, though, he bristled at more serious questions from more serious outlets.

A top economics reporter goes off script on national TV: “I am going to say this at risk of my job, but what President Trump is doing is insane.”

Absolutely

Keep in mind that RFK receives millions of dollars from a law firm that sues over vaccines.

Why take a perfectly safe vaccine to prevent getting sick when you can just get sick from a preventable disease and probably be fine but maybe die.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk want to kill the Veterans Administration So they can force veterans into private for-profit hospitals like HCA And private for-profit insurance like United Health THEY ARE LOOTING AMERICA — and giving it away to OLIGARCHS

Good work everyone www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/u...

I’m a retired Oncologist. I did laboratory research on brain tumors. We used mice with lowered immunity implanted with human brain tumor cells. It was called the Nude Mouse Model. I feel slighted Trump didn’t mention the Nude Mice too in his speech.

"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."

I am looking at a chamber filled with hundreds and hundreds of people, and if you asked me to seriously estimate what percentage of them understand how deep in the s*** we are right now, I mean really truly understand how close America is to full collapse, I would put the number at between 10 and 20
