Okay, Ezra is confirming that he's hearing D senators are actually plotting to cave to Trump and end the shutdown WITHOUT any extension of the ACA, just a promise of a vote later down the line. Call your senators, friends, NOW, and tell them NO DEAL without ACA funding! Find them here: reps.fyi

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God. Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well. forward.com/opinion/7575...

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

Bravo to the @miamiherald.com for publishing this list in full www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Demand an affidavit ballot and submit it. Your vote will count.

Andrew Cuomo is an amazing candidate if you want NYC's next mayor to be a white guy who says the n-word "slowly and with a hard r."

At last night's mayoral forum cosponsored by Hell Gate and NY Focus at the Public Theater, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social asked @bradlander.bsky.social a question that Lander was more than ready to answer: What he thought was the worst thing Andrew Cuomo did as governor.

I know I'm sharing to mainly other scientists, but please reshare this with others who aren't scientists so more people know what's at stake.

So here's an interesting question about these random ass emails: how many fun lawsuits do we think they give their recipients standing to file?

Video in question. Let's make it viral again.

Donald Trump doesn’t get to tell Chuck Schumer how to be Jewish. And Andrew Cuomo doesn’t get to tell me how to be Jewish.

My duty as Comptroller - and all the other fiduciaries of the NYC pension funds - is to protect the interests of NYC retirees. That's why today I called on the Law Department to pursue securities litigation at Tesla.

Andrew Cuomo doesn’t want you to know he has a court date TODAY for one of his sexual harassment cases. And he really doesn’t want you to know he’s spent $60 million in taxpayer money on legal bills for these personal scandals. When is Andrew Cuomo returning the money?

My comprehensive plan to protect New Yorkers from Donald Trump’s attacks on reproductive freedom ➡️

It's clear that the Trump administration denied due process to the migrants it banished to El Salvador *precisely because* any measure of judicial oversight would've proved their innocence immediately. Deported, imprisoned, and condemned to hard labor—for a soccer tattoo. slate.com/news-and-pol...

FUCK JAMES CARVILLE

Sharing information is more critical than ever and helping to defend our immigrant communities and neighbors is one clear action that we can all take right now.

The American Federation of Government Employees, which represents 800,000+ federal and D.C. workers (i.e. people directly impacted by a government shutdown), is urging senators to vote no on the House GOP's CR. In other words, AFGE is saying a government shutdown is less bad than this GOP bill.

Also you don't have to be Jewish to apply:

Perkins Coie's lawyer says that Mizelle was not describing a Constitution he knows.

Grocery prices are soaring. Housing costs are skyrocketing. Retirement savings are plummeting. But Donald Trump thought today would be a good day to play car salesman.

Top Democratic appropriators DeLauro and Murray just introduced a CR through April 11. This (1) serves as an alternative to the House GOP six-month bill they oppose, (2) reflects their ongoing pursuit of a full approps deal for this fiscal year. democrats-appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Again, the Secretary of State has no authority to “revoke” green cards.

If you are a reporter and are describing anyone other than an executive branch official as “complying” with an executive order you are not doing your job and are confusing the public. Full stop.

Reporter-turned legislator here. 👋 We had national conversations years ago about how national media writing about trans issues needs to include trans voices because it’s essential to journalism to actually cite people with lived experience in your stories. Yet there have been no lessons learned. 🧵

“The CFPB is in the hands of the Trump administration and they’ve decided to pick the pocket of the American public. The only people who benefit from a frozen CFPB are financial scammers and thieves.” —@alexisgoldstein.bsky.social, NTEU 335 member

60 years ago, peaceful civil rights demonstrators were brutally beaten in Selma, Alabama on “Bloody Sunday.” The activists' bravery led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act. We must protect the right to vote for every American.

This says that the Inter-American Foundation was personally destroyed by Peter Marocco, done from their building lobby, after claiming to make himself sole Board member and President of the organization simultaneously, then personally cancelling all contracts and ordering it to be shut down.

If you're an REI member, you can vote to toss out the board that's endorsed Trump's candidate for Dept. of Interior and has worked to stop REI unions. Vote runs until May 2nd. Spread the word. vote.escvote.com/REI/

Duckworth N CLOTURE FAILS, CONGRESSIONAL SPORTS BAN WILL NOT HAPPEN. Last few votes rolling in.

I mean…what do we have to lose at this point?

I really like this thread, talking through process, and each place we can stop them. Republicans tried to cut Medicaid in (at least) 1981, 1995, 2003, 2005, 2010, and 2017. Now 2025. This record of our success and their failure doesn't mean we'll stop them. But we can. We have before.

[Silence.]

When OMB head Russ Vought talks about deliberate efforts to put federal employees "in trauma" and make them quit their jobs, he's talking about people like Michelle, recently fired by Musk/Trump. www.sfgate.com/california/a...

NYU Langone and other wealthy hospitals are capitulating to Trump’s attacks on LGBTQ and immigrant New Yorkers — while enjoying hundreds of millions of dollars in local tax breaks every year. I wrote about their publicly-subsidized cowardice at @jacobinmagazin.bsky.social.
