We’re 7 days into something that looks like a war, feels like a war, costs like a war, has the same economic effects of a war, but we’re not supposed to call it a war because it would require the President to follow that annoying thing called the United States Constitution.

I’d rather they go back to hollowing out the federal government and stealing our data than kick off a global recession and world war 3. Those were simpler times.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August. He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA. The grift continues.

Since the Dow is at 47,500 are we allowed to talk about Epstein now?

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence. And then he bragged about it on X later.

This is f*cked up! There isn’t any law in this country that requires you to provide proof of citizenship on the interior, but unfortunately ICE is racially profiling. And they don’t care if you say you’re a US citizen. So where does this leave everyone? If you don’t look white, you’re in danger.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

There was a flurry of news about tariffs. It passed. The real consequences will hit US consumers around Memorial Day. Important then to remind everyone of cause and effect.

"We have an FBI director who received $25,000 for appearing in a film, executive producing a film, made by a Ukrainian-American-Russian who worked on a propaganda project that was financed, in part, by Vladimir Putin's office." "Why this isn't a bigger story, I don't know."

If you wonder why men *obsessed* with the United States having more children are kidnapping children and sending them to other countries, those children were the incorrect color.

State organizations that advocate for disabled residents in New Jersey and Arkansas announced that they will have to limit their work after not receiving the full funds they are owed by the US federal government.

Humanitarians risk everything to save lives - we must do everything to protect them. Today, the Security Council discusses Resolution 2730, introduced by Switzerland in 2024. Its implementation is more critical than ever: Humanitarians are NEVER a target. @unocha.org @undss.bsky.social

Between @booker.senate.gov's magnificent, soaring oratory and stamina plus the volunteers' effort up to the last hours in Wisconsin I have renewed faith in our fellow Americans' devotion to democracy. We can do this. But it takes all of us. Remember April 5 is coming up.

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

"Give the power to the states" was also the pro-slavery argument in the 1850s -- and the pro-segregation argument in the 1950s.

The Democratic realignment is creating some crazy alliances

The simple fact is though that it's going to take a long time - much longer than we feel comfortable with - to disentangle our military capabilities from the US. At the same time, it's a mutual entanglement, so I expect the process to play out relatively peaceably unless the WH forces it not to be.

We need more Jon Ossoffs in the Democratic Party. This is just fantastic.

It never got a lot of attention, but Aber put a WHOLE LOT of child predators w/ties to law enforcement in prison. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/f...

In June 2017 a-ha recorded a live acoustic album during two performances in Giske, Norway. A couple of hundred people were lucky enough to be present on those special nights…

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Harriet Hageman got booed to oblivion last night in her own town hall for pumping up Doge so hard that even her loyal suckers woke up and smelled the bullshit—about five months too late!

Volkswagen is bringing back knobs and switches for controlling the sound system volume, heating, fans, and hazard light. I think automakers went overboard with touchscreen controls for everything and I personally found it annoying when I tried driving a Tesla. Glad to see the trend reversing.

Claudia Sheinbaum, President of Mexico. An iconic photo of a great leader for our time.

That's a lot of money

The perfect metaphor for what the Supreme Court did to this country with Citizens United v. FEC.

A “we hate him too” sign was recently spotted at the San Francisco Tesla dealership which was likely placed by an employee. Love it.

The coolest thing I’ve seen today is that a bunch of volunteer public health professionals and developers have restored the CDC website from before January 20th 2025. This differs from an archive in that they want to rebuild the links between pages and replicate the full website.

Another $23 a share drop...

It's official: The lunatics are now running the asylum.
