Yesterday, a top Trump Administration official made an apparent threat to arrest me. Here’s my message to Wisconsinites. I encourage you to take a few minutes to watch. ⬇️

@repmcgovern.bsky.social deeply sorry for your loss

They put a suicide watch on the Chinese factory where iPhones were being built

“However bad everyone on the outside thinks it is, it is a million times worse. They’re dismantling and destroying everything.” Read, share, respond. Call your representatives. The health and well-being of Americans & America's innovation economy are at stake. www.science.org/content/arti...

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

The Department of Government Efficiency, for example

“A vessel for all the worst elements of the American condition. And a cheap, soulless bully besides. We never have had such a cheap counterfeit of a president as currently occupies the office.” — Charles Pierce (Oct. 2018)

new this morning from @andrewperez.bsky.social and me www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Russia and China are now eagerly trying to recruit the laid off federal employees that Trump has fired, setting up recruitment websites offering jobs, and trying to reach them on message boards. This is a massive threat to our national security. www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker. Here’s an idea: Democrats, hold town halls in Republican districts.

Not only that, bring a life sized version of their pussy Republican rep and let voters respond to their cut outs. Make it happen America!

Remember when the WH insisted that global HIV prevention & treatment was exempt from the freeze? When it seemed MAYBE they understood that cutting off medicine could put the entire planet at risk of drug resistant HIV strains? Wrong. Elon Musk’s interns were simply shutting payments off manually.

US and Russian participants met in Switzerland for unofficial talks about the Ukraine war in recent months, including as recently as last week, three sources with knowledge of the matter said reut.rs/4ic373v

Trying to look at the FBI Domestic Investigations and Operations Guide 🤔

As a result, there’s basically one rule of corporate law: don’t engage in self dealing. Just don’t! It’s that simple. It doesn’t matter if you do a good job, just try your best and don’t engage in self dealing! It’s so easy to not get sued.

This bill? Drops out of nowhere. Cosponsored by leadership of both parties both chambers — speaker, prez pro tem, majority and minority leader and whip. What does it do? Basically Every one of those cases, it legislatively overrules the courts and declares “they can steal the money, as a treat”

Trump administration is planning to use polygraphs to assess federal employee loyalty. There are ways to manipulate polygraph results, and we will provide guidance to coalition members. Polygraph results are not admissible in court due to their potential for false positives and negatives.

The North Carolina General Assembly’s GOP supermajority just approved a hugely corrupt power grab, seizing authority from the governor and the courts to prevent any meaningful check on legislative abuses. Authoritarian stuff. A very dark day for democracy in NC. amp.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

For the first time in a while overdose deaths are declining - seven straight months of declines. The cause is complicated but appears to be the culmination of a number of different Biden admin policy initiatives coming to fruition. And yet it meant absolutely nothing politically.

This is the rallying call that I've needed to hear since November 6th. From Roxane Gay in today's New York Times www.nytimes.com/2024/11/17/o...
