MINNEAPOLIS FOLKS!! Be on the lookout for! She was last seen near Minnehaha Falls.
Authorities in Minneapolis are asking for the public’s help in locating a 12-year-old girl who’s been missing since Saturday. There’s added urgency for finding Victoria Jackson because she has Type 1 diabetes and uses an automatic insulin pump, which likely needed a refill by Monday.

The GOP’s obsession with women having babies looks a lot like the past. The pro-natalist movement, created to raise declining birth rates, has historically been co-opted by fascist & authoritarian regimes. Today's growing pro-natalist movement has found a leader in Trump.

Shortly after coming to power, the regime orders a massive military parade in the nation’s capital, to be held on the regime leader’s birthday - symbolizing the regime’s claim that the leader embodies the nation. This should be anathema in a democratic republic. It’s insulting and dangerous.
Constitution Avenue has been selected as the main route for Trump’s Jun. 14 military parade, so for once “trampling on Constitution” will be more than a metaphor for him.

A woman called an autistic boy at the park a racial slur & was called out by @tizzyent. Since then, she started a @givesendgo to raise $$$ to “protect her family” from the consequences of her actions. She has raised more than $92,000. The comments attached to the donations are disgusting. 🧵

This is an outrageous policy change. Also, if you’re gonna do this then you gotta do it for drivers, too right? Given those are obviously far far more dangerous vehicles. nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/05/02/p...

In just 100 measly days, Trump’s already crossed a THIRD of Project 2025 off his authoritarian to-do list. The far right’s blueprint for ending abortion access, punishing providers, and controlling your body down to the last cell is in full swing. buff.ly/uL23Qm1 buff.ly/nBNcfJL
WHY @amyklobuchar.com ?!?! You need to BLOCK EVERY appointment. Throw up EVERY ROAD BLOCK!!

What an image! Venezuelan men who narrowly avoided being imprisoned by Trump in El Salvador without trial (saved by the Supreme Court) spelled out an SOS to a @reuters.com camera drone observing the Bluebonnet ICE facility. 11 days ago, buses to the airport were turned around at the last second.

apnews.com/article/stud... Student loans in default to be referred to debt collection, Education Department says. Trump has no interest in balancing the budget. He wants to cause financial collapse for as many families as possible. This, by a man who has been saved by bankruptcy multiple times.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in ... Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts — and the person had the correct username and password"

There's always been reason to believe DOGE was hacking govt systems. Now a whistleblower has substantiated it at NLRB, precisely the kind of data compromise labor unions worried about when they sued re DOL.
EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower
There’s just so much shady shit in this story, but this really sticks out. Folks in NLRB’s IT unit were so freaked out by what they saw DOGE doing that they wanted to notify the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency. Then this happened:

This is some scary shit—and everyone needs to pay attention because it could affect any one of us. Rachel Maddow & NPR just blew the lid off Musk’s DOGE team. A whistleblower at the NLRB says they accessed data without authorization and breached security. The potential motive is pretty shocking. 🧵
