Ossoff: "Tech titans dig bunkers while warning us the AI they're creating risks human extinction. Meanwhile, our Congress debates youth sports and the president builds a ballroom ... I refuse to leave my girls a world as dark and dangerous and cruel as this one threatens to become"

I try not to think too much about the fact that the Cabinet official tasked with preventing terrorist attacks here seems like one of the dumber cartoon animals in the Hanna-Barbera family

who knows if jackson can win this thing but i am glad that he is making clear that susan collins's whole scam is to do everything she can to make life worse for mainers and then take credit for mitigating it in the slightest way possible

Troy Jackson after Collins takes credit for rural healthcare cuts in big beautiful bill not being as bad as they could've been even though she voted to advance the bill: "Sen. Collins is like an arsonist who helped set the fire, and then she wants credit for bringing a cup of water to put it out"

This is the best

Michelle and I loved reading to this bright group of kids today! We hope this new Chicago Public Library branch at the Obama Presidential Center will be a place where folks come to read, check out books, and connect with one another for years to come.

It’s important to take a beat & say it out loud. This is the president of the United States. How undignified. How diminishing of our country. You wouldn’t let your kids talk like this, so why are you willing to tolerate it from the leader of your country?

So you CAN get reparations you just have to be a reactionary white person who tries to overthrow the government because black votes shouldn’t count

This is the kind of Presidential post I want to see on Easter Sunday morning

Barack Obama@barackobama.bsky.social

To everyone celebrating Easter, Michelle and I wish you a joyful holiday filled with reminders of the enduring power of faith and hope.

50501: The People’s Movement ❌👑@50501movement.bsky.social

NO KINGS DAY IS MARCH 28TH. Since Trump has taken power, ICE had terrorized our communities, our country has been forced into an illegal war, and conditions in the U.S. continue to worsen from the gas pump to TSA lines. Make a stand, and go to NoKings.org to find a No Kings protest near you.

again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state

Gosh, it's not like consumers vote or anything

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

I keep seeing people ask about the 25th Amendment. Guys. His entire Cabinet is walking around in shoes that don’t fit because they’re scared to take them off. The 25th is never happening.

These guys were selling t-shirts until they needed a war to cover up the intentional damage they did to the economy and the president's involvement in a pedophilia scandal.

Sanders: The American people do not want this country to be an authoritarian society or an oligarchy. We have our differences, that’s what democracy is about—we argue it out. We don’t throw people who disagree in jail. We don’t intimidate the media. We don’t send ICE agents to shoot people.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

When indeed? Is there not one shred of decency among them?

Captain Mark Kelly@captmarkkelly.bsky.social

A second American citizen has been killed by immigration agents in Minneapolis, and DHS is blocking any independent investigation. When will my Republican colleagues speak out against this chaos? This can’t continue.

It’s not just that they are murdering people who are peacefully protesting, it’s that they then stand in front of the cameras and slander the victims by telling us that what we see on the videos didn’t happen.

So fed up…

Charlotte Clymer@charlotteclymer.bsky.social

I really need Democratic lawmakers to understand that we're fed up with them simply posting on social media "this has to stop" without calling for specific actions to make it stop. We know this needs to stop. We elected you. Tell us what needs to be done to make it stop.

It’s Election Day in Tennessee, and we know: The power is with the people. If you live in Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, head to IWillVote.com to make sure you know when and where to vote today.

For real…journalists, what say you?

Eric Schmeltzer@ericschmeltzer.bsky.social

I mean, look, I'm not a reporter, so who am I to talk? But on a day where the president both just called a woman reporter "Piggy" and is celebrating someone who had people bone saw apart one of my colleagues, I might just be a little ready to defend my colleagues and profession. But that's just me
