This administration continues to insult the intelligence of the people it is supposed to serve Outright lies and rehashing of long disproven “hypotheses.” There is no middle ground here. No compromise approach The human toll from this utter nonsense is already clear to see. Criminal negligence

This is FALSE. ICE data showed DHS averaging 1,259 deportations/day through April 4. There is ZERO sign deportations rose by 154% since. Mullin also mixes up DHS's (also FALSE) claim that 70% arrested have any criminal record at all, and claims that 70% are felons. Wildly wrong.

Everyone is also fully aware that: - Iran already agreed to have weapons inspectors as part of the Obama-era JCPOA — a breakthrough that didn't require a war - Trump abandoned that policy for no good reason - lifting sanctions before working out new details on inspections is evidence of amateur hour

Trump: "Everybody is fully aware that Iran will agree to have Major Weapons Inspections in order to ensure 'Nuclear Honesty' long into the future. President DONALD J. TRUMP"

The timing here is remarkable. Just at the moment when America is hungering to turn the page from the ugliness and division of the past decade, this soaring language of our civic religion, spoken by its greatest modern orator, returns to the stage. A sign of the moment and the moment to come.

Obama: Shared values that make democracy possible. A belief that our military and law enforcement owe allegiance not to any president or political party, but to the people and our constitution. A belief in the peaceful transfer of power after the people have spoken in fair and free elections.

yes. the clearest path to deal with the SCVA ruling is just to say that it wasn’t a constitutionally valid exercise of judicial review. because it wasn’t!

again, this is literally black-letter constitutional text in virginia. this is an inalienable power that supercedes any formal amendment process. the court went beyond its jurisdiction when it attempted to overturn the referendum.

Democrats should ensure that voters hear this so much it haunts their dreams this fall.

Big Oil is making a $30 million windfall profit every HOUR by using the Iran War as an excuse to rip off commuters at the gas pump. This year, Exxon will be spending $20 billion of its profits on stock buybacks. We must end the Iran War and pass a windfall profits tax — NOW!

The DOJ is demanding the personal information of thousands of 2020 Fulton County election workers — a move one local official said amounts to “harassment.” “This is yet another act of outrageous federal overreach designed to intimidate and to chill participation in elections,” he said.

Ok, but did these so-called “experts” have Jared on their team? Didn’t think so. Checkmate, libs.

Experts who spent months negotiating a 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran say mutual mistrust, starkly different negotiating styles, and the complexity of the issues make a quick deal unlikely. n.pr/3QLFN3W

Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

If you paid taxes for 2025, you likely paid: $124 — school lunch & nutrition programs $49 — diplomacy to prevent wars $19 — USPS $19 — Federal Aviation Administration $18 — national parks and $4,049 — weapons and war. These priorities are hurting us all. We need change. #TaxDay

Orban concedes. And in that lies a lesson for those rightfully worried Trump will try to deny midterm results: deliver a rebuke so overwhelming there’s no way to deny it. Congratulations to the people of Hungary!

Pro-tip for the Swalwell campaign staff now maligning the women accusing their boss of sexual misconduct: it's not worth it. There will be other campaigns and other candidates but there will never be another time that you won't regret behaving this way towards survivors.

I love when VP Kamala Harris speaks. Note the complete sentences, rational thought, and encouraging tone. We need more of this. There are still many who don't get it. ⚖️

This post is unavailable.

This great article makes me so sad we don't have Kamala as our President.

D. Earl Stephens@dearlstephens.bsky.social

📌I will not stop repeatedly reminding everybody that the people who voted for Harris were right about EVERYTHING. We told them what would happen if this deviant was elected again, and were ignored. Well, they better start listening now or they are complicit in their own demise, and THAT is pathetic.

Just do it. Show up. Ask, on camera, why your Republican colleagues are not there with you.

House Democrats are demanding Congress return to session NOW to stop Trump’s plan to commit genocide. 12+ U.S. troops dead. Hundreds injured. Billions wasted. And Trump is threatening to eradicate a whole civilization. Call Republicans at the Congressional Switchboard: 1-202-224-3121

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!
