The penguins have learned their lesson. by Susan Collins

This was….five months ago

"Booker can help rebrand his party as less risk-averse and more willing to try … something. He can rebrand himself, just as the old and ineffective guard falters. Booker’s speech was raw and visceral and real and angry. He did something. Now his colleagues and American voters must do more."

Oh, this is gonna make the rounds. 🤡 #PenguinTariff 🐧

Guy worth $340B spending $25M in WI is like the median American worker who makes $39,982/year spending $2.94. Meaning—a $5 cup of coffee has a greater financial impact on a working American than $25M did on a maniac billionaire. This is how democracies collapse. TAX BILLIONAIRES OUT OF EXISTENCE.

There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm

Use every parliamentary arrow in your quiver to stop the Trump agenda Holds Filibusters Speeches Refuse unanimous consent Add as many amendments to bills as you can Force as many votes as you can And never-under any circumstances-accept feckless choices Be bold Be brave Be a leader

Happy liberation day! That special day when trump liberates you from your money!

The incompetence of this Administration never ceases to amaze. Waltz and other NSC members used Gmail to conduct official government business, with Waltz’s staff even sharing information about sensitive military positions and advanced weapon systems tied to an ongoing conflict.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

I’m fine with Trump being imprisoned forever due to a clerical error

Democrats: "What Booker did is just a stunt." YES. TRY MORE STUNTS.

As he began speaking on the Senate floor Monday night, Cory Booker said that he intended to disrupt “the normal business of the Senate for as long as I am physically able,” citing his belief that “our nation is in crisis.” He wasn’t kidding. 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

BREAKING: Trump admin says it mistakenly deported a Maryland father who had *withholding of removal* back to El Salvador on March 15. Govt told court Monday it won't bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. "What.The.Fuck..." one govt attorney told me. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... @theatlantic.com

Support Grows for Trump Serving Third Term in Prison

Jeffrey Goldberg calls out Mike Waltz on NBC over Signalgate: "This isn't 'The Matrix.' Phone numbers don't just get 'sucked into' other phones. I don't know what he's talking about there … He's telling everyone that he's never met me or spoken to me. That's simply not true."

Yep

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Ozturk was arrested by six masked officers — like the Gestapo. Her only offense appears to be writing an op-ed in her school newspaper. While I strongly disagree with the views expressed in her op-ed, they are not a valid basis for deportation. This is flat out un-American.

Do NOT drop this story. Keep hitting it hard. They could have killed our pilots.

Please take a moment to read and share #MomSky Thank you @dearlstephens.bsky.social And let's thank @theatlantic.com and Jeffrey Goldberg For his courage and honesty

There's no gaslighting your way out of this.

We discussed this a lot when trump insisted he declassified all the shit he stole with his mind.

I appreciate that Jeffrey Goldberg did not sit on this news for a book that he writes two years from now

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

So apparently Canada wasn’t mentioned in the just released U.S. Annual Threat Assessment “as a source of illicit fentanyl.” AT ALL. And yet Trump specifically cited fentanyl as THE LEGAL JUSTIFICATION for starting a trade war with Canada using tariffs by executive order. Proof the EO is illegal.

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

"What Pete Hegseth did is probably the worst thing a soldier could do in the eyes of the military short of murdering someone, and even then, I’d probably argue it’s worse because it could easily get others killed." charlotteclymer.substack.com/p/a-dipshits...

If Dems fail to make Signal leak an incessant story demanding resignations/impeachment, it would be a mirror image of Benghazi, her emails, etc. In face of GOP zone-flooding, Dems cowered instead of calling bullshit; now when GOP says Signal leak is NBD, a failure to push back would be catastrophic.

Hoo boy. Good thing this was Signal and not Discord or they’d all be looking at 15 years (she says with a wink and a nod)

He drinks a whiskey drink He drinks a vodka drink He drinks a lager drink He drinks a cider drink He sends a text that remind him of the war plans He sends a text that reminds him of the war crimes #Hegseth

BREAKING: Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s epic fumble—he accidentally added a reporter to a secret Yemen strike group chat, spilling the beans on weapons, targets, and timing. This is an incredible goof, and yet more proof that Hegseth was not a merit-based hire.

Sen. Chris Coons: "Every single one of the government officials on this text chain have now committed a crime – even if accidentally."

Sen. Jack Reed: "If true, this story represents one of the most egregious failures of operational security and common sense I have ever seen." "The carelessness shown by President Trump's cabinet is stunning and dangerous. I will be seeking answers from the Administration immediately."

lulz

Not a drag queen. Not a trans person simply trying to exist in peace. This is who comes after your children: Republican men who hide behind a cross and wrap themselves in the flag. We need to protect our kids from Justin Eichorn and people like him who prey on them. #RepublicanPredators

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.

Schumer has canceled his book tour over “security concerns.” That means he’s afraid to face the voters after giving a blank check to Musk and hanging house Dems out to dry. He needs to RESIGN as minority leader NOW abcnews.go.com/Politics/sen...

He was about to go on a fucking book tour? At THIS moment? Jesus fucking Christ.

What should confound them is that it's EVIL! Annexing Canada is EVIL! Introducing this completely foreign idea from within his degenerate brain is EVIL! Humoring it is EVIL! Weighing its pros and cons is EVIL! Weighing its fucking electoral impact is EVIL! THREATENING OTHER COUNTRIES IS EVIL! God!

Indeed.

I find "listen to the women" excellent advice in this specific case and... in life in general. ♀️ #VoteNO 👎

WTF, Chuck?!

I wish Chuck Schumer would put as much effort into opposing Republicans in Congress as he does opposing his own constituents on social media.
