Spanberger: The fact that my opponent couldn’t answer a question about the DOGE cuts and the impact they’ve had on Virginia is outrageous. We know from the last jobs report that Virginia is the only state with statistically significant job losses because of the attacks on Virginia’s workforce.

Larry Summers: "This is way beyond anything Nixon ever did ... this is the stuff of democracies giving way to authoritarianism. Firing statisticians goes with threatening the heads of newspapers, launching assaults on universities, launching assaults on law firms. This is really scary stuff."

So grateful for the clear, unequivocal witness and voice of Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social who visited the horrifying detention camp in Florida. As he said, “I didn’t see any Russians who’ve overstayed their visas. Only Black & Latino men who look like me.” @maddow.msnbc.com

The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025 called for dismantling the NOAA, which provides warnings of natural disasters, such as the deadly floods in Texas. The irony is that Heritage wanted these cuts because it’s angry that NOAA helps prove the reality of climate change--the thing causing floods.

A Republican HERO❤️

The Senate parliamentarian has OK'd GOP language stripping Medicaid funding for reproductive health care clinics like Planned Parenthood in the "BBB." It pains me that this is being talked about as if it's about abortion b/c this is about NON-ABORTION care like life-saving pap smears and STD tests.

It doesn't make sense to just blame a demented 79-year-old sociopathic toddler for being unable to stop himself from breaking laws and norms... It makes more sense to blame Congress. It's literally their job to stop him. I blame them all. Oh, and the Supreme Court as well!

The ugly face you make when you find out the bribe you took to fuck over all of the other 49 states has been snatched back.

“Congress is about to impose massive harm on tens of millions of Americans,” @jonathanbchait.bsky.social writes, “in order to benefit a handful of other Americans who least need the help. The bill almost seems designed to generate a political backlash”:

Terrible action by ICE.

The GOP’s “Big Beautiful Bill” is Robin Hood in reverse: it takes from the poor to give to the rich.SNAP (used to be Food Stamps…which Tabby and I used back in 1972) is gone. Medicare is going.

@warren.senate.gov: "They're fighting over how many children should go hungry so that Mark Zuckerberg can buy another Hawaiian island."

Here’s the best explanation out there of how Trump’s acceptance of Qatar’s 747 — and his threat to suspend habeas corpus — flagrantly steal powers belonging only to Congress and why the habeas suspension would endanger everyone’s lives, liberty, and property open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...

“If the Trump administration can get away with violating the Constitution because it knows the courts will be too slow to prevent it, then those constitutional rights simply no longer exist,” Adam Serwer writes:

MSNBC owned the morning news shows on The Weekend.

Who could’ve foreseen that it would be a disaster to put an unqualified Fox weekend host with a drinking problem and sordid personal history in charge of the military

Thanks be to God‼️👀♥️

Looking for a woman. Always look at who they follow. Always women. Bad choice‼️

April 18 (Reuters) - A U.S. Justice Department lawyer told a judge on Friday that the Trump administration reserves the right to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members on Saturday. Question: Have they repeated this threatening reservation after the Supreme Court’s 1 am order on Saturday morning?

“If the administration continues its defiance, including by potentially defying an even more direct and clear ruling from the nation’s highest court, then the country will face its greatest test to the rule of law since the Civil War.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

Odd, how the United States doesn't have enough money to give sick veterans healthcare, impoverished seniors Social Security, or hungry schoolkids lunches, but it does have enough money to pay a Central American dictator millions to torture American residents in his brutal concentration camp.

JUST IN: Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations

Fake gold everywhere in the meeting room in the White House is crazy way to decorate, “The People’s House.” Not Classy at all.

By the time major media agree that it's a dictatorship, it will be so far along that they'll be afraid to call it a dictatorship.

Who decorated the White House with fake gold everywhere? It is too tacky and trashy for most people‼️👀

Can someone tell me why Saudi Arabia is involved in dealing with the Russian/Ukraine situation? No one in Ukraine is being represented; why?

Women: Get a new voter’s registration card from your county seat, now‼️‼️

I received my new voter’s registration card in SC. It has my married name and maiden name on it. They may use this excuse, to stop women from voting. Like Hitler, they want women in the home, having babies. Old card only has only married name, after 40 years.

How many older Americans freaked out and sold what they had left in their 401 accounts during the tariffs disaster? How many billionaires bought the shares back and made a fortune? Anybody?

Who could trust the market again, anything crazy can happen now. Get your money out while you can. We are living in crazy times.

Republican Congress: are you listening? We know you can kill the tariffs, now is the time to do it while Americans are losing their savings.

The whole Congress should block the tariffs come into effect. We know, you know, how bad it will be for middle class and older people if you can’t get the nerve to block all tariffs.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

Up is down, wrecking the economy is winning, and there’s a madman in the White House.

Trump isn’t smart. He does, however, have a talent for exploiting the gullibility and bigotry of voters and the dishonesty and naked ambition of politicians. That’s how he got into the White House. But he keeps showing us he’s not smart enough to avoid fucking up everything once in office.

Laura Loomer was too batshit bonkers to fly on the future fuhrers airplane with him and now she’s the HR manager at the White House. Wild times.

"The New Deal was not just a domestic program, but an international one: it opened the US to the world...FDR pursued institutional remedies to foster international development and cooperation. This wise and farsighted policy regime [is] being reversed now." www.unpopularfront.news/p/franklin-d...

If Trumpty-Dumpty is working with the Russians to screw up America, he's doing a great job. Eggs, $11 a dozen. Health & Human Services down the dumper, ditto VA. If you call Social Security, they tell you to call back later. Guys 'n gals, this is more fucked up than Peter O'Toole on his birthday.
