AOC: When you wake up in the morning, you will realize that you voted to defund planned parenthood and take away health care from 13.7 million Americans and when this country wakes up there will be consequences to pay for this

SETBACK. The GOP's big sweeping bill just failed in the Budget Committee, 16-21. Five Republicans voted NO. "The NOs have it. The committee stands in recess, subject to the call of the chair," Jodey Arrington says.

The Boeing 747 Qatar is giving Trump is not a state-owned jet. It’s the private plane of HBJ—Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. Former PM of Qatar, billionaire thug, and Hamas godfather. The tail number includes his name: P4-HBJ

Breaking news: DOGE is now targeting the Government Accountability Office, a congressional agency. GAO is fighting back: "We are not subject to DOGE or executive orders." @notusreports.bsky.social obtained the email detailing what's happening, sent just an hour ago. www.notus.org/congress/dog...

It's hard to adequately describe how scary it is to watch mainstream political journalists barely push back against a sitting U.S. president accepting a $400M plane from a foreign government that would literally be designated as an emergency command-and-control center during a nuclear war.

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

Apparently unsatisfied with arresting only Ras Baraka during the incident at Newark The Trump junta is threatening to arrest Congresspersons Bonnie Watson Coleman, Rob Menendez and LaMonica McIver I guess jailing our political opponents who protest government action is now what we do in America

Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social

Alina Habba tells Fox News that Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested and is being held in a secret location right now. Martha MacCallum: "Where is he being held?" Habba: 'I'm not going to speak to that right now. He's obviously in New Jersey."

Trump is decimating the Forest Service & firing the very people who help save our communities. Not only that, but he wants to eliminate FEMA entirely. He's not just gutting the work to prevent fires—but also the work to rebuild after disaster strikes. I'm sounding the alarm.

President Trump fired the acting administrator of FEMA just one day after he testified to Congress that the agency should not be disbanded.   This reckless move would hurt our nation's ability to respond to disasters and remove a critical lifeline for Americans.

We are not under invasion. There is no justification for suspending our constitutional rights. Every single American should speak out against this, loudly and forcefully.

Stephen Miller: "The writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. So I would say that's an option we're actively looking at."

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

This is a relief

The first American Pope, Leo XIV, has just been elected. Prevost, from Chicago, is deemed to be in the mold of Pope Francis—a progressive. Yes, this is real.

DHS Sec Kristi Noem testifying on DHS budget today, and Sen. Chris Murphy begins by eviscerating everything she's been doing so far. "You are illegally refusing to spend funds appropriated by this Congress... Routinely violating the rights of immigrants... Your agency acts as if laws don't matter."

Ben Meiselas at Milken Institute: They want to hear: Why are you bullying a marginalized community? Why are you punching down at human beings? We are the United States of America—why are you treating people like this?

Kamala Harris: The courage of Americans who are speaking out to say, it is not ok to violate court orders. Saying it is not ok to detain and disappear American citizens or anyone without due process. The courage of judges to uphold the rule of law in the face of those who would jail them.

Watching @maddow.msnbc.com . Perhaps it’s a good idea for our communities to have a plan to help our neighbors remain safe from being kidnapped by ICE. Rally around your community. This is wrong any way you slice it. These are families, human beings for god’s sake. Ridiculous. #protest #help

In early March, a group of Musk-affiliated staffers from the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) arrived at the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB), the federal agency responsible for protecting workers’ rights and handling union disputes.
