As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

We've had enough of them exploiting families, swallowing up small businesses, and making products and services more expensive yet worse quality. So this week, we launched the Monopoly Busters Caucus in Congress to take on big corporations. The American dream can’t only be for billionaires.

2026 is going to be a year that a handful of GOP governors who rammed school voucher schemes into their states—because a couple billionaires told them to do it—finally face their voters

Earlier this year, employees began to fear bad actors, could target people for punishment by declaring them dead: “Anybody granted the appropriate permissions within Social Security could mark someone as dead, employees had realized, without having to prove their demise in any way” wapo.st/3RKSQQt

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

I’m watching TV show “The Diplomat”. It’s so smart. Now I see why I heard people referring to it as “competence porn”. With what we are watching in Government from the GOP, this showings soothing. It’s not real, but damn it outta be.

AOC: And his whole presidency began with launching tools for bribery, meme coins to fleece working people and move around money in the dark, extortion settlements from media companies and law firms who gladly pay them

Forgive yourself for believing what you were told by people & institutions you had every reason & every incentive to believe at the time-- whether you were a child or an adult. (We don't "age out" of being vulnerable to pressure or deception.)

#ProudBlue Cancelling all school funding for Me because the Gov. dissed his attack on transgender athletes shows how, in his mind, his Dictator role is beginning to flower. Next he'll be jailing lawmakers or other public servants for daring to disagree with him. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

Just discovered the term "Competence Porn" and realized this is going to be the next thing I get into. I haven't watched The Pitt, but I recently finished The Diplomat, full of brilliant, competent, earnest, decent folks doing difficult jobs the best way they know how. slate.com/culture/2025...

On a recent flight my seatmates learned I was a writer and asked my opinion on AI. They didn't understand genAI is based on work stolen from authors, and they DEFINITELY didn't know about the energy costs. Both shocked them. People just don't know.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

This breaks me — because I can see my wife and daughter living through this. I don’t trust DHS, and you shouldn’t either because it could happen to anyone. They’re on a mission, and it feels lawless as hell.

So all the White House political reporters are spending the weekend getting up to speed on the Abrego Garcia case and litigation related to the gulag in El Salvador so that they can prep good questions for Bukele’s visit on Monday, right? Right????????

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.
