Fuck Gavin Newsom

I used to appreciate Gavin Newsom’s communication skills. But to call the case of the immigrants rounded up and rendered to an El Salvador torture prison in violation of due process a ‘distraction’?! Wow. Just….wow. So ashamed of @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

Foreign students sue Trump officials over revoked visas as 1,000 affected

this is such good news. i think it is also an opportunity for democrats to state forthrightly that when they win power again everyone responsible for this crime will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law and will face the american people to answer for their lawlessness

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

“Mommy, no. Mommy.” Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody. The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

imagine being this pathetic, servile and eager to gulp up the slop

Way to go @booker.senate.gov 😃👍!!! It’s been so frustrating with Democrats in the minority and too many unwilling to do anything so glad you are taking a stand literally hang in there. You’re about to break the record of that horrible racist Strom Thurmond. 😃👍😃🇺🇸

@schiff.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov PUSH for investigations into massive security breach by Trump cabinet! Discussing military ops on an unsecure Signal app?? Incl from MOSCOW??Easily hacked? Irresponsible, lazy, stupid, cosplay as if a game or movie, not deadly serious actions.

@maddow.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social @michaelsteele.bsky.social So much focus has been on “How could these senior officials add a JOURNALIST to thread!?” but real issue is How could they discuss military ops on an unsecure Signal app?!” SO easy for enemies to hack! Russia, N Korea, Houthis etc

@maddow.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social like many Democrats I am frustrated that Chuck Schumer allowed GOP dirty CSR to advance but why is he getting all the heat? Other Dem senators voted same - Durbin Hassan Gillibrand Schatz Fetterman Shaheen King CotezMasto …

Wow. 10 Democrats joined Repugs to censure Rep Al Green. — these are the Dems still clinging to the notions of ‘comity’ and failed “working across the aisle” b.s. CALL these weak Democrats — tell them to get tough thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Really disgusted by @MSNBC new management for this action — @joyannreid.bsky.social is a smart, experienced, talented journalist who speaks truth to power—her show has provided a sorely needed perspective. She is truly a joyful warrior -) Shame on @msnbc.com for craven whitewashing of news coverage

Rachel Maddow called out MSNBC for getting rid of Joy Reid and Katie Phang, saying it’s “indefensible” to get rid of their non-white anchors. Bingo.

NY City Council speaker Adrienne Adams: "With the resignation of deputy mayors, it has become clear that Mayor Adams has now lost the confidence and trust of his own staff, his colleagues in government, and New Yorkers. He now must prioritize New York City and New Yorkers, step aside and resign."

That’s the problem. We’ve been standing by for too long.

“The Trump administration has begun firing hundreds of employees at the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), including some who maintain critical air traffic control infrastructure, despite four deadly crashes since inauguration day.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Seriously! What’s HE scared of??? (I guess they found someone close to retirement to do it…wonder how they threatened him…..”file this or you’re fired and there goes your pension….”)

Why doesn’t Emil Bove, himself, just sign the motion to dismiss for Eric Adams’ case? …

Do it, Stuart. Please! @stuartpstevens.bsky.social

BREAKING: Ranking Member Raskin demands Attorney General Bondi halt illegal intimidation campaign targeting the DOJ’s Public Integrity Office.

Dale Ho is the federal judge who'll be reviewing Emil Bove's dismissal of Eric Adams' charges. The first time I wrote about Ho was a long time ago before he was judge, when he was leading the lawsuit against Kris Kobach and the Kansas law that kicked off tens of thousands of Kansas off voter rolls:

Also wondering where were the Heroic SDNY lawyers when Michael Cohen was (1) jailed for carrying out Trump-crimes and (2) he was thrown into solitary b/c he refused to sign off on a deal preventing him from writing a book? (Seriously. Where were they?) @maddow.msnbc.com @lastword.msnbc.com

What IS it with this guy?? Nothing that grows and lives and has beauty matters…he just wants everything sprayed gold to look like a cheap mobster’s house. Here’s an idea - re-name the roses “Trump MAGA Roses” and then he will approve

Trump is now considering paving over Jackie Kennedy’s White House Rose Garden with cement to make it look more like Mar-a-Lago. A White House official said it is “necessary” because it will “restore” the “glory” of the White House.

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” Damn. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Show this to a federal worker and let them know how many people support and appreciate them.

BREAKING Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson just issued an order preventing the Trump administration from: 1. Deleting CFPB data 2. Firing CFPB employees 3. Transferring money from CFPB's reserve fund Right after the order was issued, nearly all CFPB employees were placed on administrative leave

Not only is the wet signature of deputy Acting Attorney General Emil Bove there. The Eric Adams document attributes the decision exclusively to Bove.⬇️ Judge Dale Ho could have a field day with this, as he should for the sake of justice.

“Despite the demands of Trump, Leavitt, and Big Brother, the AP is not changing their style to suit the whims of a would-be tinpot dictator. And by defying Trump, the AP has created a rallying point for other organizations and individuals to find their spines and defy him as well.”

My friend said she and her mom agreed not to speak Spanish to each other in public anymore. Oh man, that hit hard. I’m so sorry this is who we’ve become.

I know Gov Hochul is up for re-election, and NY is more purple than blue…but even more conservative voters should be revolted by the blatantly corrupt mob-like conduct of the DOJ.

@chrislhayes.bsky.social @maddow.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com I admire the integrity of the attorneys who resigned over corrupt DoJ Bove quid-pro-quo dismissal of Mayor Eric Adams case. But if all the good guys resign, the bad guys get to take over. So…hmm. 🤔

NEW: Donald Trump fired a bunch of veterans today while simultaneously hindering care for veterans. In a month or so, republicans in Congress will cut food stamps so these veterans won’t be able to feed themselves or their families. I wonder how many of them voted for Trump.

REPOST if you support our federal workforce and know how dedicated they are to their jobs. Show them you appreciate them!

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: I’ll say this again: download all your SF-50s, performance evals, and your eOPF. Now. Print hard copies. And make sure you file an informal grievance with your supervisor within 15 days of any adverse action. Here is a template: www.muellershewrote.com/p/informal-g...

Hmm, sounds like a quid pro quo to me! But Emil Bove is all huffy ‘there was no quid pro quo, what an outrageous lie!” Etc. ;-p

Acting US Attorney at SDNY, Danielle Sassoon, led the principled resignations yesterday. Like Scotton, a conservative (Heritage Foundation, Scalia clerk, etc) I’m sure Trump/Bove assumed she’d be eager to carry out their corrupt quid pro quo. But Sassoon, Scotton et al take THEIR oaths seriously.

Will be hard for Trumpworld to spin this as action by a Deep State Lefty Liberal… ;-p

And being a “communicator” on Fox is a really low bar. I mean, he was one of 3 people who sat on a sofa to blah blah Trump propaganda….on Saturdays. And he showed up for work drunk, according to colleagues. But yeah, let this guy speak for America on the world stage 🙄

“I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Trump and Musk want to shut down the Department of Education and slash money from our public schools — all to pay for billionaire tax breaks. So we came to the Department of Education to ask questions. They locked the doors on us. Save the Department of Education. Fire Elon Musk.

THANK YOU Representative Caspar, for taking a stand and focusing on the specific hypocrisy, grotesque unfairness, and corruption. In clear, obvious terms, not speechifying. Hey other Dems, take note!
