Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

McGovern: "How is any company supposed to forecast for their future, build a plant, hire workers, if they have no idea what the hell this president is gonna do in his next tweet? ... I need a neck brace to be able to get through all this."

Trump has cut the part of the FDA that notifies doctors and the public when there is a safety problem with a drug or a medical device. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Remember SignalGate? (One of Trump's superpowers is being involved in so many scandals all the time that very few of them end up having staying power beyond a news cycle or two.)

This man has no regard for human beings. Can’t people see it? Anyway, read the comments.

Some great ideas here from two folks who know what they are talking about @gregsargent.bsky.social & @normornstein.bsky.social including more town halls, live events outside closed plants & non-stop messaging about how Republicans are tanking the economy to pay for tax cuts for Elon Musk, etc.

Last year, I said the Trump/Musk administration would set out to gut Social Security, despite Trump's repeated, emphatic, promises not to. They are doing just that, but in an extraordinarily fraudulent way. 1/

in regards to dealing with bullies, this applies equally to individuals, corporations and even countries. So appeasement doesn't work. Because they'll just want more. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-shak...

Thank you Senator Cory Booker. This guy truly cares about the people he represents.

Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

SCHUMER: Would the senator yield for a question? BOOKER: Chuck Schumer, it's the only time in my life I can tell you no SCHUMER: I just want to tell you, do you know you have just broken the record? Do you know how proud America is of you?

Booker: "I want to go a little bit past this, and then I'm going to deal with some of the biological urgencies I'm feeling."

This was so good.

… what the three cable networks were doing as sen. cory booker broke the record for longest u.s. senate speech in history.

Jeffries: "One point that should have my Republican colleagues quaking in their boots. In the Florida 6th race, which was Trump +30 district, the margin was cut in half. There are 60 Republicans in the House who currently represent districts where Trump did worse than 15 or 16 points."
