Pete Hegseth is a blithering, incapable sec of defense. Shame on him. Don’t blame Democrats for you and this Administration's failure to delineate what our goals are in Iran.

Carr is lackey hack who's looking to fill the empty spot left by the death of Charlie Kirk. The rest of us are going to rub the spot out with smart and hilarious comedy.

Now I’m hearing Trump lie once again about “the far left lunatics“ and the murder of Charlie Kirk. If there is one person most responsible for the rhetoric and use of political violence it’s Donald Trump.

As I’m watching the Israeli ambassador at the UN rail against Qatar, it’s Israel who has, over and over again, destroyed another proposal to reach a ceasefire in the Gazan war. Qatar has been trying to broker such a ceasefire and going after them NOW is pure Netanyahu and that’s unacceptable.

Trump does NOT have vast powers to fire members of the Fed board. He’s lying as usual. He lies about everything. He lied again today about all the money that tariffs are bringing into the US. That’s another lie. Americans are paying for the tariffs.

Lisa Cook fired back on Tuesday at the Trump administration’s claims that the president has vast powers to oust members of the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, as her lawyers pressed for a swift resolution of the lawsuit over her dismissal.

Yesterday, Politico reported a “lack of street-level backlash” to Trump’s DC takeover. There IS backlash—it’s just a less formal version of it, carried out by Washingtonians with iPhones & spare time rather than by politicians marching the streets with TV cameras. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

motherjones.comThe resistance is active in DC—you’re just not looking closely enoughIt's not massive protests on Pennsylvania Avenue, but happenstance hecklers and Nextdoor posts.

fuck the rules something needs to be done something that may be illegal why not? this regime is completely illegal they do NOT play by the rules so, it is time, like never before, to act in a way that brings about immediate change, or we may wake up tomorrow in a completely unfixable world

Where is the worldwide outrage over what Israel has been doing in Gaza? It’s a genocide. Israel isn’t defending themselves anymore. It’s wholesale dehumanization and murder of civilians. It’s about time the US government did something.

After listening to the latest maintenance phase on “ultraprocessed foods” i am really convinced that “MAHA” appeals where “eat more plants” was the road to serfdom precisely because like right wing christianity it offers another frame for judgement and exclusion

Crockett: Right now, it seems like you don’t care about the constitution unless it’s the second amendment and that’s misinterpreted as well. There’s other amendments.. And we don’t get to just change it because our fearless leader says that he doesn’t like it

SCOTUS pushes back on unlawful deportations—while the Solicitor General refuses to say the gov’t will comply with circuit court rulings. We break it all down + what tools courts still have when its orders are defied. Join @rgoodlaw.bsky.social and me live tomorrow at 10:30am ET. #RuleOfLaw #SCOTUS

"You said there were no cuts to scientists, and then the HHS spox said, 'Actually, there were cuts to scientists and now we're trying to rehire them.' It gives the impression you're not sure about personnel actions in own agency." -- Jon Ossoff just dismantled FDA Commissioner Makary

Would have been a good question for her confirmation hearing as well.

Whoa! New polling shows that a majority of voters in EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT oppose cuts to Medicaid. Members of Congress should take note. ☎️ Flood the Capitol switchboard to voice your opposition to the bill from hell. 202-224-3121. Defend Medicaid! Defeat Cancer!

Jessica: When you actually read the transcript of what Trump is talking about, he said oh, Biden's brain is mush, he has stage nine cancer, which is not real, oh, by the way, I just aced a cognitive test.. and we're supposed to believe he is 6'3" and 224 pounds which makes him an NFL wide receiver

Sen. Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of U.S. global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. I wonder if you're proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family?"
