He doesn't remember what he said yesterday. He is an impulsive, manic, wrecking ball.

Trump practically told our allies to f-off — that we didn’t need them, that the U.S. had already “won.” Now he’s begging them for help.

Contest every race. Have a candidate in every race on every ballot in every county in every state. Run even if you know you can’t win. Run because you know you can’t win. No seat uncontested. Bring the fight to every ballot.

Check this out. A private school that receives vouchers Lockeroom. While a public school up the road doesn't even have a track. This is what it looks like when politicians use tax payer money to reward their donors. Every citizen deserves the same treatment, feed our citizens first.

This is a beautiful new locker room at St Pius in Kansas City. They are a private religious school that accepts taxpayer vouchers for partial tuition. Anyway, the kids at the public school down the road from me learn to run track when they go to track meets — they don’t have a track of their own.

Sure it's mental health medication that causes a gun to kill and injure a group of humans in seconds.

As we all know, the United States is the only country on the planet where these drugs exist. It definitely has to be the drugs that we alone use. Can’t be something else.

Raskin: "I suppose I don't mind being called a loser several times by Trump, given that he's our only president who has lost the popular vote in two different elections and the last time, when he lost by more than 7 million votes to Biden, it upset him so much that he incited an insurrection"

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Keep an eye out this weekend for outside agitators like the Proud Boys showing up at the No Kings Protests! They will try to incite violence and blame it on the left as they did during the George Floyd protests.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

Trump wants to suspend Posse Comitatus. People think this is just about his hate for liberal California, but if he invokes the Insurrection Act; it’s all 50 states.

Two kids. Two cities. Left alone on the street while #ICE disappeared the adults beside them. Tourists detained. Green card holders jailed. International #tourism collapsing. Trump’s America isn’t just unwelcoming, it’s hostile. And now it’s costing billions. open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

open.substack.comNo Country for TouristsAs Trump’s travel bans expand and ICE detains lawful residents in broad daylight, the world turns away and the American sidewalk becomes a stage for fear, abandonment, and economic self-destruction.

What happens next is lawful immigrants stop following the rules for fear of being nabbed when they show up as required. And this trend will be used to "justify" nabbing more people, more fascism. This is built in.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

Kate reposted

There's a stunning provision tucked into the budget bill that would limit courts' ability to enforce contempt orders, and therefore to uphold the rule of law. This deserves real alarm. If the Senate values the separation of powers, it must remove the provision.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

Health care, student aid, food assistance, public education funding…nothing meaningful to HIM.

Christopher Webb@cwebbonline.com

Republicans are taking marching orders from a rambling, delusional fraud, and reporters still pretend he’s a serious policymaker. Trump just said they’re not cutting “anything meaningful.” That’s rich—unless you rely on Medicaid, food assistance, or public schools.

Federal data is an invaluable national asset and economy driver. But for Trump & Co., it's "woke" and must disappear, or it's personal, private, and perfect for weaponization against people and groups they don't like. My latest at @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/donald-tru...

Trump just now: "We are going to be taking away Harvard's tax exempt status." 26 U.S. Code § 7217: "It shall be unlawful for any applicable person to request an ...investigation of any particular taxpayer with respect to the tax liability of such taxpayer." The president is an applicable person.

Wag the Dog, 1997. Trump joined the Reform Party, 1999. Presidential aspirations taste tested. He needed the right loyalists. They found each other and pulled off the scam. Create the reality you need to manipulate the citizens, for power. At everyone else's costs. thehill.com/blogs/pundit...

Pope Francis made his final public appearance on Easter Sunday, just one day before he died. The Vatican said the pontiff, 88, died at 7:35 a.m. local time on Monday. "Brothers and sisters, Happy Easter!" Francis told well-wishers in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican on Sunday.
