This has nothing to do with fraud. The agents Trump allegedly sent to investigate fraud are shooting protesters and arresting children. His DOJ is gutting the U.S. Attorney’s Office and crippling their ability to prosecute fraud. And every week Trump pardons another fraudster.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

"Political violence is a patient virus, waiting for chaos, then finding a new victim."

We need states to form coalitions to keep vital services running in the face of the federal governments failure to do so. This is one example where this could work. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol... @governorwalz.mn.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social

First they call it 'emergency,' then 'invasion' - watch as 'rebellion' becomes the final excuse to strip your rights. The dictionary of tyranny, written one fake crisis at a time, each term another turn of the key locking democracy's door. thehill.com/homenews/adm...

This is a moral moment, together the people are strong. We the people must work together to lead the leaders to a better America!

More evidence that police are not important to Trump. apnews.com/article/trum...

This is clearly more of the bully mentality. Cause fear!

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Doggy isn’t working out in any way for Elon www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

Another instance of the art of the deal man not being able to make a deal or choosing not to? Clearly, the latter, so isn’t that defying SCOTUS?

If you're in congress and you aren't publicly in favor of banning the trading of individual stocks by people in congress, get your head out of your fucking ass.

Perfect for a Friday! Thank you @hankgreen.bsky.social youtu.be/8JuuGjRhSYE

While he boasts about his "art of the deal," millions of working Americans watched their 529 and 401k accounts plummet wildly down. The connected insiders with advance notice cashed in perfectly while regular families absorbed all the stress and uncertainty.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Can somebody please clarify for me, are we “unliberated” now?

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

The markets are saying it loud and clear, the emperor has no clothes

Markets aren’t reacting to tariffs — they’re reacting to leadership ignoring economic fundamentals.

“It is up to all of us to fix this. It’s not going to be because somebody comes and saves you.” - President Obama yesterday We must organize the pro-democracy majority to reclaim its power. Join an event near you for tomorrow’s nationwide day of action: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

Donald Trump's tariffs are a $3,800-a-year tax on your family. Everything you buy – from coffee, to cars, to clothes – is about to get a lot more expensive.

The President may claim it's Liberation Day, but the American people know it’s National Sales Tax Day. And in the Senate, we are fighting back against these reckless tariffs.

The Yale Budget Lab has estimated "Losses for households at the bottom of the income distribution would range between $1,000-1,300". Is this greatness? Tariffs are a regressive tax hurting those with the least the most. budgetlab.yale.edu/research/fis...

Trump says his tariffs will raise $6 trillion. Assuming that's over 10 years, that's $600 billion per year. There are 134 million households, so this is nearly $5,000 per household per year. And it's like a sales tax, so it's a flat tax. A huge hit to the budgets of working folks.

Donald Trump just put a 10% tax on many goods that you buy, how great is that?

Thank you, Senator Booker, for your unwavering strength and courage in standing up for what’s right. Your record-breaking Senate floor speech is a powerful testament to the fight for justice, democracy, and the well-being of millions.

Cory. Booker. 👊🇺🇸🔥

@booker.senate.gov Thank you for your service throughout your life but now more than ever, I have to thank you. Let this filibuster be the spark we needed to turn this wave back!

I knew Cory slightly at Stanford (he knew everyone slightly; he’s that kind of guy) and always respected and admired him, which is not the same as always agreeing with him. But this is the sort of Cory he should be more often.

For those who are actually curious what living with a modern EV (which isn't a Tesla) is actually like... youtu.be/3GUQdrpduo0

This video hits the nail on the head about renewable energy! It’s absurd to keep burning things as we advance in energy storage. youtu.be/Y2qSaD1v4cQ?...

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

The latest: “Elon Musk seeks to rally support for impeachment of judge who ruled against Trump” Hey Republicans in Congress: Are you elected officials or subjects to a king and his billionaire jester? 👑 🤴 Can you stand against Musk & stand UP for the rule of law just once?

HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS UNTIL TODAY!! "court of Nero", "a jester high on Ketamine", "Weimar republic", "a dictator backed by a traitor", "draft-dodger", "the oligarchs of the gulf mar-a-lago", "de Gaulle Zelensky"... youtu.be/unSSHfIs3U0

Elon Musk: “The fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy."

Buybacks are corporate poison that devastate long-term business health while fattening exec wallets. They systematically drain resources that should fuel innovation, research, and genuine growth. They represent the triumph of short-term financial manipulation over sustainable business development.

Word of the day is ‘whiffling’ (17th century): fickle, inconstant, and making it up as you go along.

oh

18F was doing exactly the type of work that DOGE claims to want – yet we were eliminated shortly after midnight. Read our letter to the American people: 18f.org

There’s a fake transcript of the Oval Office meeting today going around. Here’s a real one. foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/28/t...

If we ever want countries to decommission their nuclear weapons again, the United States can't sign something like the Budapest Memorandum and then allow our leaders to yuck it up and act like jerks when Ukraine gets invaded by Russia—WHO ALSO SIGNED THE DANG THING. en.wikisource.org/wiki/Ukraine...

Really good bipartisan meeting before President Zelensky heads to the White House. We stand with Ukraine.🇺🇦

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!
