@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

DOGE Is Far Short of Its Goal, and Still Overstating Its Progress Elon Musk now says his group will produce only 15 percent of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork. Gift article www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

The right for autistic people with intellectual disabilities (and other disabled people) to live outside of institutions was only granted by the US Supreme Court in 1999.

Eric Michael Garcia@ericmgarcia.bsky.social

Perioidic reminder that the reason you didn't see autistic people with intellectual disabilities on the street five decades ago was not because they didn't exist. It's because they were sent away to institutions and their parents were told to put away pictures of them.

Trump has leverage and they can get them back if they want to. If they don’t, the judge should put several people, responsible, including Holman, Rubio, and the agents who took him to El Salvador in prison pending appeal.

Very worried that once this order is issued, Bukele will just say no; and do it in a snarky public way on X where he mocks the U.S. judiciary.

When are people going to accept the hard truth that this is by design?

President Donald Trump’s shake-up of the global trading system is hurting US assets more than those in many of the big economies he has just slapped with additional tariffs

Years before Hitler invaded the USSR, Nazi agents planted fake disloyalty rumors about Stalin’s top generals on Vienna phone lines they knew Soviets had tapped. They convinced Stalin to purge & shoot his own best generals before the outbreak of war. Imagine Putin’s FSB planting gossip today…🤔

Who owns this company?

Brandon Friedman@brandonfriedman.bsky.social

The Trump administration's Department of Energy has handed management of America's strategic petroleum reserve to a "little-known company" after what it calls a "rigorous competitive process." The contract for this company — charitably described as a "lesser-known name" — is worth $1.4 billion.

George HW Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Clinton (D) got us out. George W Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Obama (D) got us out. Trump (R) got us mired in a recession. Biden (D) got us out. Trump (R) is yet again ushering us into a recession. Starting to notice a trend?

Every Republican member of the Senate & House caused the stock market crash & predicted recession by refusing to use Congress’s constitutional authority over all tariffs to block the illegal Trump tariffs. Tonight @ Last Word @ msnbc 10pm

Two Republican judges on the North Carolina Court of Appeals just effectively overturned Justice Allison Riggs' victory over Jefferson Griffin by retroactively nullifying thousands of lawful votes. A massive and outrageous blow to democracy.

Bryan Anderson@bryanranderson.bsky.social

Story to come. The topline: If this holds, this would almost assuredly result in an overturned election, as Griffin trails by 734 votes and many of these contested ballots are disproportionately Democrats over Republicans. #ncpol Full court opinion here--> drive.google.com/file/d/1BnPY...

US attorney Ed Martin did a fundraiser with Oath Keepers who were NOT pardoned for J6. These men are in the process of appealing their convictions, and Martin flew down to Florida (on a work day!) to pal around with them and praise them.

Donald Trump just posted: "To THE MANY INVESTORS COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES AND INVESTING MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MONEY, MY POLICIES WILL NEVER CHANGE. THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!" They're buying up what fearful Americans are selling at a loss. Trump is laughing.

This ICE official sounds a lot like General John DeWitt in February 1942 calling for internment of Japanese Americans: “the very fact that no sabotage has taken place to date is a disturbing and confirming indication that such action will be taken.” www.nps.gov/articles/his...

Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social

I keep coming back to the insanity of this statement from an ICE official, which would sound like something out of 1984 except lacks Orwell's sense of irony and self-awareness www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The ROI for "one-off s*** to keep kids engaged in school" is basically infinite, this is all so dumb.

I just got confirmation that National History Day, a program that does more to ignite K-12 students' love of history, learning, and yes, even the United States than anything else I've ever seen, had all its funding cut yesterday by the DOGE-axe at the NEH - including for this year's ongoing contest.

NEW 🧵 A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far: 1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively. These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

Trump circumvented Congress on tariffs by declaring a Fentanyl emergency. A handful of Republicans in Congress can stop the tariffs by joining with Democrats. Call your electeds and tell them.

Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race. Their decision would toss roughly 60,000 ballots (!) that have been counted, & likely hand the election to GOP instead of incumbent Dem Justice who won it.
