Here’s my conspiracy theory about Trump and Canada. Trump is damaging the relationship with Canada as a pretense to reject any calls for support when Russia decides to militarily incur into Canada’s Arctic border.

Was not expecting this...

As promised, in light of the WaPo report of Everglades camp detainees being swarmed by mosquitoes in the shower and unable to sleep at night due to being bitten, I want to briefly address concentration camp history and mosquitoes. I won't be comprehensive but will give a few examples. [1/17]

So CBS is cancelling the Late Show, which regularly skewered Donald Trump just a week or so after its parent company agreed to pay a bribe to Donald Trump to get its merger approved with a company run by the son of one of Trump's biggest donors/supporters. Nothing to see here.

This, all of this.

Take note, @schumer.senate.gov.

if you don’t know the history of Dodger Stadium you can’t fully understand what unfolded today. thanks @chrislhayes.bsky.social for the opportunity to share it.

I am at an event in Los Angeles and true to the administration’s claims it is violent, bloody, profane, and full of murderers and dangerous evil people. I mean it’s a group of middle-aged guys playing D&D but it’s definitely all of that stuff.

The Israelis are calling this a "preemptive" strike. Whether you agree or disagree with this attack, these are not - from what we know tonight - "preemptive" strikes. The Israelis are using that word for a reason. Read on. /1

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

@cnn.com, this is what you should be showing.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

And when people are saying "NOOOOO NO LIMITS NO BRAKES FUCK YOU YOU'RE COMMITTING MURDER BECAUSE YOU WANT TO THINK ABOUT MY NEW TECH," like, come on. We have freedom of religion and we don't share yours.

Thank you.

Gosh, maybe that's why we're supposed to have due process.

You hang a Dear Leader banner on a federal building and #LordLaser is gonna have something to say about it.

Imagine America during the Korean War in 1950 telling the embattled southern forces after Pyongyang’s massive invasion that both sides “need to put down their weapons and build a better North and South Korea.” Trump is acting as a de facto Russian ally. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social breaks down each layer of the "sheer lawlessness" of the Trump deportation case. (1/2)

Trump’s sputtering response to Harvard standing up to him is yet another reason why institutions should refuse to bend the knee. He’s a paper tiger, unable to argue his own case.

Quick point. Congress can use the spending fight in September (remember Chuck Schumer surrendered till then) to prevent a single dollar from being used to house prisoners in El Salvador.

This.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen has introduced legislation that would prohibit awarding government contracts and grants to companies owned by special government employees — taking direct aim at Elon Musk.

7. It was Johnson's decision to bring this to the floor. It was also Johnson's decision to include other legislative items for the week in that rule. It was Emmer's job to count the votes before bringing it to the floor. And this cavalcade of mediocrities failed.

“The administration is playing a dirty game of chicken here. They are betting that Goldberg and the Atlantic’s staff are sufficiently responsible that [the administration] can lie with impunity…But that’s not how classified information works…The Atlantic should thus release the full text thread.”

This is why @hakeemjefferson.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov are wrong for what’s going on. How can they stop Elon’s dismantling while accepting checks from his lobbying firm?

NEW: The DCCC took an additional $1.4 million from SpaceX and Palantir's top lobbyists last month, and Senate Democratic leaders held a fundraiser with the firm in February as well. readsludge.com/2025/03/20/d...

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

Great fucking job @schumer.senate.gov @schatz.bsky.social @fetterman.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov, @cortezmasto.senate.gov @shaheen.senate.gov. Tell me again how this was worth it, now that the GOP is laughing at you and planning to continue to abuse and humiliate you while destroying the US

Senator @murray.senate.gov knew this was gonna happen, and I hope she shows some leadership by calling Schumer out publicly.

The Democrats in bumper sticker simplicity.

After all the blather, @schatz.bsky.social votes for it to move forward. 🙄

I dunno, dude. Looks like the GOP is pretty fucking happy you just caved and gave them exactly what they wanted, while giving up the only point of leverage you had to stop them. Your political instincts expired a decade ago. Move aside already.

Why are people mad at Chuck Schumer? Is it the whole rolling over and playing dead like a dog while another dog takes a giant shit on your face thing?

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

If Gillibrand can't figure out how to help her members message who is actually at fault for the shutdown during campaign season, then maybe she shouldn't be the DSCC chair.

Hey @cantwell.senate.gov, your DC voicemail box is full, and your constituents are trying to make sure you get this message!

Trump is STILL - RIGHT NOW - tweeting about Tesla. He's spent more time protecting the richest man in the world's profits than he has protecting healthcare, education, jobs, or veterans in the last 6 weeks as president.

Your constituents want an answer on this @murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @jayapal.house.gov.

A quick post-cruise refresher from me before I do any serious delving into any particular current events: Fuck fascists Fuck -phobes Fuck wealthy sociopaths Fuck immigrant-haters Fuck sexists Fuck anyone who wants to invade Canada and/or Mexico Fuck vaccine deniers Fuck this administration Etc, etc

Attn: DC #lawsky: FYI, Trump/Bondi loyalists are currently making a bid to take over the DC Bar: Her brother is running for President and Alicia Long (who I believe is US Attorney Ed Martin's chief deputy right now) is running for Treasurer.

@murray.senate.gov, @jayapal.house.gov, @cantwell.senate.gov, please take note!
