Life is full of things that, by complexity or design or lack of care or required time, are hard to navigate: healthcare, government, personal finance, school forms are all among them It is why I feel consumer AI is underrated. People muddle by, but are missing support & AI is good enough to help.

Local man suggests jailing own boss.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

Murray: "He has told us over 40 times now that a deal is near and the war will be over soon. But now he's asking for $70 billion more and for us to just trust him it'll work out."

Ballou on Epstein Files Lawsuit: The judge ordered them to produce these foreign-language documents, and the DOJ’s response was, “Look, Judge, we told Congress that we weren’t going to follow this part of the law, and Congress didn’t do anything.” That’s not how the law—or any law—works.

FWIW, if you’re holding high level emergency strategy meetings on how to “spin” the Epstein files, 3 things quickly become clear to everyone: 1) you are in the Epstein files. Significantly. 2) you are a very bad actor in Epstein’s heinous criminal activities. 3) you can’t spin, so you COVER-UP

MTG: “If they were paralyzed about releasing the Epstein files, they don't deserve the American people's trust. They should be considered traitors.” Collins: “Are you saying that that that applies to the president?” MTG: “I’m saying exactly that.” Courtesy of @acyn.bsky.social

Two months ago. [March 15]

I’m now a one issue voter.

I'm helping to lead a group of Senate Democrats who are planning to force a vote - every single week the Senate is in session - to end the war in Iran. We have that right under the Senate rules, and we are going to keep putting Republicans on record supporting this insane war.

A Category 5 storm just formed more than a month before the Pacific hurricane season even starts. Most Americans didn’t hear about it. Here’s why that matters—and what it tells us about where storms are headed next: www.mesoscalenews.com/p/the-storms...

THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

Wow. Please send him out on the campaign trail to explain to American consumers why they are the "last" of this administration's concerns.

Putin is providing intelligence to Iran. Trump has eased sanctions against Russia. Russia is now profiting off the war at the expense of American lives and machinery. Trump is a complete fool or deliberately working against his own country.

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.

How many January 6 insurrectionists were armed? Is the position now that Capitol police could have shot them all? Just trying to keep up

AOC: An agency that is attacking U.S. citizens, kidnapping five-year-olds and using them as bait, and privately circulating the idea that they can violate the rights of Americans by busting down their doors—they deserve to be defunded, and I’ll take any step in that direction.

These fucking assholes drove by an elementary school during the short window of morning drop off. They want to intimidate us but all they’re doing is pulling every single parent off the sidelines.

From Blaine: "Grandparents were about to go outside for a walk. They came into our home ... My brother asked for a warrant. They showed a “warrant”, it was on a phone. He asked to see if it was signed by a judge they ignored him. They then only took my father and shoved him in the car and drove off"

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.

The law does not (should not) base decisions on how inconvenient fixing your mistake would be. It's about whether you were legally wrong to do it in the first place. Fixing it is your problem.

Sometimes they just tell us they are weaponizing the criminal justice system to push their political agenda.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

So much wrong with this but…they sold his phone?!? Like, for profit?? Now ICE can just confiscate and pawn your property???

once again shoutout to every dipshit who insisted it was hysterical to talk about trump and white supremacy in the same breath www.rawstory.com/trump-267487...

"This was a family that could've been like mine" -- Philip Bump breaks down crying on MS NOW when talking about the stuffed animals in Renee Good's car when she was killed

Hey, ICE shot and killed a US citizen today in Minneapolis. I don't post political shit here but if there's ever a time to take to the streets and demand justice NOW IS THE TIME.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Trump: "I have determined that, for the Good of our Country, especially in these very troubled and dangerous times, our Military Budget for the year 2027 should not be $1 Trillion Dollars, but rather $1.5 Trillion. This will allow us to build the 'Dream Military' that we have long been entitled to."

Reporter to Kushner & Witkoff during Ukraine summit: "I know there's a reluctance to talk about Greenland today, but what value do these commitments have on the very day that at the highest levels of govt in Washington they are talking about seizing the sovereign territory of a fellow NATO member?"

On the bright side; now that we’ve hit the Republican president trifecta of creating a recession, significantly growing the national debt and plunging us in a new endless war for oil, the the next administration being Democrats is a shoo-in.

Rep. Seth Moulton: "This is insane. What the hell are we doing? ... this is illegal."

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

Tapper: This is one of the documents the DOJ released. It’s 100 pages. It’s all black. That’s the transparency we’re getting.

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting. Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

The only garbage here is what’s coming out of his mouth

Himes: "What I saw in that room was one of the most troubling things I've seen in my time in public service ... any American who sees the video that I saw will see the US military attacking shipwrecked sailors."

What time do you get in?

Illegal and shameful and just how police behave in authoritarian regimes. And also wildly unpopular and not the country Americans want.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted. If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

CNN: What if there are more names connected to the Democratic Party that come out in the files? CHRIS MURPHY: So what?

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office. He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi. But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people. Release the transcript.

It is either perfect timing or terrible timing. Either way, our new Noisy Piggy slot machine has just arrived on the casino floor.
