"The journalists aboard AF1 had no idea they were being used as decoys amid an assassination threat. If something happened to them, Trump's response would be as unfeeling as his response to the deaths of service members in his pointless Iran war— which is why this threat existed in the first place."

plus.briantylercohen.comTrump Used a Plane Full of His Friends As BaitThe president hid inside a catering cart to escape a credible threat. That plane, packed with his allies, was allowed to take off anyway.

Buttigieg: We sit in a in a country that's got the wrong number of people on the Supreme Court, possibly the wrong number of representatives in the House of Representatives. And by the way, when you consider the disenfranchisement of the people of DC, we have the wrong number of states in the US

Yahoo. Trump gives up on the Kennedy Center. He’s losing his touch

NEW: Federal judge ends Kennedy Center name change, bars two-year closure plans for now. “Congress gave the Kennedy Center its name, and only Congress can change it.” Trump responded ... as one would expect. This evening, at Law Dork:

No money for pediatric cancer research but there's $1.7 billion for people who beat cops and smeared feces on the walls of the US Capitol.

Happy May Day to the people who keep this country going. Today, workers took to the streets demanding that this country put workers over billionaires. Workers are the backbone of this country — and this economy doesn’t work without them.

If trump now needs a ballroom because of a shooting incident, then do we now build ballroom bunkers for our kids in schools? Or… i know this sounds crazy … maybe we could focus on getting rid of guns. #ItsTheGuns Also… #EpsteinFiles Where are they???

Trump: "In one year, we have lifted 2.4 million Americans -- a record -- off of food stamps" (In other words, Republicans cut food stamps)

In the first moments of his State of the Union, Trump said "our enemies are scared" -- does he mean the American people who are enduring a lawless and violent ICE force brutalizing us in the streets of our cities?

When it comes to free and fair elections, Collins is as conservative and anti-voting rights as they come. Not only is she supporting the SAVE Act, but during the Biden administration she opposed the For the People Act and the Joe Manchin compromise bill — the Freedom to Vote Act.

Trump recently suggested that he is getting ready to issue a new anti-voting executive order. Last time he issued one, we sued and won. If he does it again, we will sue and win. Trump knows this. It is why he and his allies hate and attack me. I will never back down or stop fighting for democracy.

Ilhan Omar was attacked because Donald Trump relentlessly spewed vile, racist invectives about her and Somalia And the feckless MAGA sycophants in Congress constantly amplified his bigotry Yes, we must dismantle ICE, firing Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem in the process But MAGA must go with them

Senate Republicans just narrowly blocked consideration of the resolution to put a check on the President's military actions in Venezuela. We will not give up. Congress must prevent our troops from being put in harm’s way to secure access to another country’s oil.

Bondi: "What happened in Minnesota -- we had 6 prosecutors who suddenly decided they didn't want to support the men and women in ICE. One of them was busy doing a photo shoot with the New York Times while ICE was out there risking their lives ... breaking news tonight: I fired them all."

You can introduce articles of impeachment at any time, Zoe. You can also work to convince your Republican colleagues that illegal wars aren't good for their electoral prospects. Stop acting like you have no agency here.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren@lofgren.house.gov

Trump illegally attacked Venezuela without constitutionally required approval. Trump says it's to take their oil and that his cabinet members will run the country. Will any Republican members of the Senate or House finally stand up for the Constitution? Have they no shame?

No tears shed for Maduro, an illegitimate authoritarian ruler. But what comes next? Trump unilaterally sent American servicemembers to remove a foreign ruler and his plan is that the U.S. will run Venezuela? There are serious concerns about the risk this poses to American lives + national security.

debblue2.bsky.social reposted

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

This is truly Trump nuts

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.
