For Trump it was a joke by Obama.

👀

This is crazy. @joyannreid.bsky.social & @itsalexwags.bsky.social should be elevated, not axed. @msnbc.com continues to circle the drain.

Politicians do not belong in doctors' offices.

Excited to catch the Twins for the first time this year!

Five things I accomplished last week: 1. Sued Musk & DOGE (repeatedly) 2. Got Musk blocked out of Treasury 3. Sued Trump (repeatedly) 4. Helped persuade SCOTUS to leave anti-Trump injunction in place 5. Got booked @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social Join us at 9 AM ET Sunday morning to discuss!

Yeah, that's not how any of this works.

This is really smart by @sanders.senate.gov Go to republican districts and push voters to pressure their republican reps. www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

We all know exactly what would happen. She would be charged with endangering the welfare of minors, lose custody of her children and go to jail. The media and the right wing would talk non-stop about what a terrible person she was. But because it's an R, we hear nothing.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

Since Trump has claimed Elon doesn’t run DOGE, we wanted to make sure you know who is running our government. This list has been updated with 15 names.

Republicans are getting rude awakenings in town halls across the United States. Here is our message:

And now you know why.

What’s wasteful is ordering feds to explain their jobs instead of letting them DO their jobs.

Staying grounded…

This was what history in our schools. White men were the heroes. Not until later, I realized there are no heroes, history is about all facts. And you find what really happened. This is real stuff.

Another department tells its employees to ignore Elon…

Former Trump National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow: "There could be some short term, one-off price hikes — the economic signals are flashing slower growth and higher inflation. Not good."

Democrats are fundamentally misunderstanding the moment: We're not asking them to be *legislators* right now. We need them to be *politicians.* There's nothing to be done about the legislative situation. They're right about that. But there's PLENTY to be done as politicians.

THIS SHIT HAS NEVER BEEN ACCEPTABLE YOU INSUFFERABLE EDGELORDS.

Showing my parents Nosferatu (2024) and I think Nicholas Hoult is the best version of Jonathan Harker for the simple reason that he perfectly plays the normie guy in way over his head who loves his girl soooooo much, a role that can be very boring if you don’t give it to an actor as weird as Hoult

If members of Congress—like Rep. Grothman —are this clueless about what the man who is dismantling our government is saying and promising, they don’t deserve to keep their jobs! This woman is in his face, begging him to wake TF up—and he just walks off. Pathetic.

Well Canada just told us to fxxk off... so there's that.😳 😬

Information was shared illegally. A career employee at the Social Security Administration provided unauthorized access to data to Elon Musk’s staffers. This employee, Leland Dudek, a data analyst, was recently promoted to acting commissioner by Trump.

Despite facing declining poll numbers and growing constituent unrest, Trump is now publicly urging Elon Musk to intensify his efforts.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

DOGE’s expenses have risen above 40 million, with weekly costs now exceeding 10 million. We will release an updated DOGE staff list soon.

I asked and the universe delivered. Thank. You. Regular Human man Byron Buxton

Says the guy who won't even respond to the mothers of his own children

BREAKING: MASSIVE Ukraine rally in Washington, D.C. right now. Americans care even if Trump doesn’t.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Never forget

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

He nails it.

Staffing at the HUD office that pays for housing and support services across the country is slated to be cut by 84%. Advocates warn such heavy cuts could make record-high homelessness even worse.

Interesting contrast: -the number of Americans on Social Security is up 1.6 million YoY -the number of unemployed workers in the US age 55 and over is up 80,000 YoY
