The President is saying if you pay him directly, you get face time and special treatment. The corruption is staggering and completely without precedent. This President is a crook, no two ways about it.

“Many thousands are already in Habima Square, without shame and without lowering their heads, demanding an end to the killing and destruction in Gaza, the release of the hostages and an end to the war. Such an important awakening in Israeli society. Come.” @alonlee.bsky.social

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake “energy emergency” to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

I don’t see any reason we can’t get that number to 80 or 90% in Q2.

You might not realize this, since reactionaries have totally dominated public discourse on the subject, but most of the public was & is supportive of the basic preventative measures taken during Covid. yougovamerica.substack.com/p/middling-a...

NEW: A SECOND story was released today of a Venezuelan man disappeared by the Trump admin. Neiyerver Leon is a barber who entered legally seeking asylum in June 2023. ICE arrested him on March 13 and accused him of being in TdA. Days later, he vanished off the face of the earth.

Little children ... who are separated from everyone they know, probably terrified, and have no understanding of what's happening to them. And how many of them end up disappeared or trafficked? Anyone who supports this is a monster.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

This truly is an emergency.

The House is set to vote today on Republicans' SAVE Act, which is expected to disenfranchise millions of eligible voters + disproportionately impact women + young people. Voting rights orgs are urging people to call their reps to tell them to oppose this bill. www.teenvogue.com/story/what-i...

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

The White House just put out a statement threatening to veto this bill if it reaches Trump's desk. punchbowl.news/sap-s-1272/

The stock market is something we watch and feel and measure, so its collapse is well-tracked. But when you see the charts of a straight downward trajectory, they also summarize what’s happening with cancer research, academic freedom, basic rights, America’s standing in the world, and so much more.

Jose Barco is being held in Texas while awaiting deportation, but it is unclear to where.

Trump does care about the pain, chaos, and turmoil he’s causing—in the following sense: He loves it. It makes him feel powerful.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

Plan to give all of your private tax data to oligarchs. www.wired.com/story/doge-h...

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.
