Took a trip to our favorite used bookstore yesterday and both little warriors have been reading their new books nonstop and I love it.

Mostly the Pacific Ocean.

For Handmaid’s Tale fans.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

It’s probably worth noting Facebook CEO Zuckerberg has been sitting for depositions over the last week in a lawsuit he’s named for settling with FTC for $5B to allegedly protect him personally. Peter Thiel and Marc Andreessen were also deposed. All three have Trump 2.0’s ear.

The entire world seems to understand this except Trump, Vance, Musk, many Fox hosts, and their cult.

WIRED: “It’s a heist — real federal auditors are horrified by DOGE… DOGE has posted some of its ‘findings’ on its website, many of which have been revealed to be errors.” www.wired.com/story/federa...

"I think you caved. I don't think you showed the fight this party needs right now, because you're playing by a rulebook where the other party has thrown that rulebook away" -- here's the full clip of Sunny Hostin confronting Schumer today on The View

"'When you take away that artificial line . . . and you look at that beautiful formation of Canada and the United States, there is no place anywhere in the world that looks like that,' Trump boasted. 'Plus Greenland' Musk added." Know who they sound like?

He still hasn’t ended the war in 24 hours like he promised, but apparently he is setting up hockey games with the guy who is murdering civilians, torturing prisoners, and kidnapping children.

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.

congratulations to john roberts who is as responsible for the current state of affairs as any single person in the country

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

How is this prediction going so far?

Breaking news: The United States launched a “decisive and powerful” attack on Houthi militants in Yemen, President Donald Trump said, an escalation against the Iranian-backed group that for months has besieged commercial maritime traffic in the Red Sea.

As Tesla's stock plummets, will taxpayers bail out Elon Musk, or will President Trump simply write him a check? Notably, Musk's companies have already benefited from over $38 billion in government support.

It is now 54 days after the date Trump repeatedly guaranteed he would have the war in Ukraine resolved with a peace agreement, and the fighting continues.

#ProudBlue #BlueSkyResistance OMG! Minnesota GOP is trying to make Trump Derangement Syndrome a mental illness. Can we sink any lower as a country? As our country burns, this is what they choose to focus on. Video credit: @aaronparnas.bsky.social

Last night Trump issued an executive order to dissolve “The Minority Business Development Agency”, among other things.

Head Start provides children in Duluth and throughout Minnesota with a strong foundation for success. The Trump Administration is putting this at risk and jeopardizing the future of our children. www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/local/d...

Disliking legacy media is one thing. Letting a political leader use that distrust to silence outlets like CNN, MSNBC, or any major press is another. A free press—flawed as it may be—is a cornerstone of democracy. Once we let a leader decide who gets to speak, we all lose.

Do you see what I see @fetterman.senate.gov

So there is still no peace deal and Trump is left arguing whether Putin treated his envoy abysmally before rejecting it or just sent him packing after he was forced to listen to another 3-hour Putin lecture on his alternate version of European history.

Citizens United, which allowed unlimited corporate, interest-group, and individual spending on elections, triggered plenty of dire predictions. But even the most pessimistic among them fell short of imagining American reality today. ICYMI @jilldlawrence.bsky.social:

Why did Trump repeat Russian propaganda and lie about this? Why would he claim that a Ukrainian army in Kursk could only be saved from annihilation if Putin benevolently agreed to Trump’s request not to do so? Why is the US President deceiving Americans with Russian lies?

Trump is now begging the same world leaders he’s been threatening—asking them to send eggs to the U.S. to help bail him out as prices skyrocket.

If the Democratic & Republican parties were our boyfriends, we'd have dumped their lying, useless asses ages ago. But here we are, stuck in this toxic relationship, hoping they'll change while they gaslight us. New piece up: a satirical guide to our political heartbreak. Read it & weep (or laugh).

Trump walks to Marine One to head to Mar-a-Lago to play golf on the taxpayers dime. This trip will cost us $3.1 million, which could be used by USAID to feed 710 starving children for a full year.

Out of all the bullies and monsters in the administration, Marco Rubio seems like the purest specimen of how Nazism happened—not a sincere bigot or ideologue, just an empty shell who has literally no limits on what he will agree to do or pretend to believe, embracing brutality to fill his weakness

Medicaid and CHIP are a huge support for struggling families in John Moolenaar's rural MI02 district. How could he vote to rip that support away from them and give it to billionaires like Elon Musk?
