So once applications open for the $1.7B slush fund, we're all going to apply and break their portal, right?

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

Companies in the transportation business financing a road trip for the Transportation Secretary and his family.

This is what the Trump admin is focused on today while you pay more for everything because of his war and tariffs.

In the same press gaggle, Trump said he doubled the size of his ballroom and he doesn’t care about Americans’ financial situations. I am begging the media — act like Obama or Biden did this shit and cover it the way you would have then.

Remember when they told everyone taxpayers wouldn’t pay a penny?

It’s the 250th year of American independence, and the Pope and the King of England are reminding Americans of their revolutionary values, principles, and ideals Somewhere, John Adams is confused as fuck

The press has Stockholm syndrome. Stop sitting in interviews and letting this man abuse you. Stop acting like he’s not trying to suppress free speech. And for f*ck’s sake stop attending events that normalize his regime and make you look complicit.

Hey @aoc.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov And any other elected reps: Since "Trump's security" is now so important, introduce a one-line bill forbidding the current President from playing golf! Seriously, Trump should not be allowed on a golf course from a national security perspective.

I feel so, so badly for the poor White House Correspondents who had to come face to face with the same threat that your average 5th grader faces when walking to Reading class

Reasonable people will read this word-salad post from Trump and conclude that last night was all about winning support for his gaudy ballroom.

Just came online and saw the news. I knew DC's political and media classes were throwing a gross party for themselves tonight in the midst of us losing a war—and our democracy—and our economy slowly collapsing, but I didn't think it'd turn into a metaphor. Glad no one was hurt.

The Legend of Hollow Sleepy

Trump gutting the U.S. Forest Service puts communities in Arizona and across the country at risk — the Forest Service plays an essential role in preventing wildfires. I supported legislation last year to restore staffing so our forests stay accessible, safe, and maintained.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

I hope dem presidential candidates are paying attention. 👀

If Hungary can get rid of its autocrat, so can America anntelnaes.substack.com/p/viktor-orb...

The massive Orban defeat should prompt Dems to align themselves more firmly with anti-fascist and pro-democracy forces abroad. There's a powerful link to be drawn between the celebrations in Budapest and the confrontations with ICE in Minneapolis. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2090...

Here a grandmother is forced to do a gig job with no job security because she can’t afford to retire? What are we celebrating here?

Hungarian opposition ousts Viktor Orbán after 16 years in power

Trump’s calling this a “strategic pivot” because “I screwed the pooch” polls poorly.

The Vice President is overseas campaigning for a dictator, because I guess there’s nothing going on here that warrants his attention.

Gen. Caine and Adm. Cooper should put a statement now making clear the U.S. military will not follow orders that would mean committing war crimes, including military actions whose purpose would be to destroy a country or a civilization.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

I wish the voting public could directly invoke the 25th amendment or vote on impeachment like a special referendum

He skipped church. Dropped the F-bomb. Praised Allah. On Easter. You can’t make this up. The man tweets war threats while you hunt eggs with your kids. THIS is your president, America. Wake up.

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.

Balint: "If President Biden or President Obama had said anything remotely like this, it would be nonstop coverage on every single channel and everyone on the other side of the aisle would be howling about it and demanding that they step down."

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

We are seven months away from the most consequential midterm election in US history. Meanwhile, we are fighting a war. These are the structural conditions for a coup attempt in which a president tries to nullify elections and take permanent power as a dictator. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

Iran Imposes New ‘Cash, Grass, Or Ass’ Fee For Strait Of Hormuz

Has Iranian state TV paid a $787 million settlement for spreading lies about an election?

I can’t think of one reason that House Democrats would not be preparing Articles of Impeachment for Hegseth.

Deliberately attacking civilian infrastructure without apparent military value is a war crime. Shouldn't be surprising since America elected a war crimes advocate, who in his first term pardoned convicted war criminals, and in his second made the public champion of those war criminals SecDef.

Cosplaying working class Rafael Cruz went to Princeton and Harvard. When he flees his constituents without power, he stays at the Ritz-Carlton. His wife, Heidi, is Managing Director at the fancy investment firm Goldman Sachs. They are not men & women with callouses on their hands. They are elites.

Well done. #NoKings

Rotting from the inside out…👇 Any Questions?!

Walz: The president said it's a bunch of radicals. You're damn right we've been radicalized. Radicalized by compassion, radicalized by decency, radicalized by due process, radicalized by democracy.

Wow. Thousands already gathered in DC for today’s #NoKings protest! 👏 Poetically, they have gathered at the sight of Trump’s proposed new arch. @50501movement.bsky.social (📸 Andrew Leyden)

I was just helping my kid with their high school Gov homework, and was astonished to learn the United States has a Congress.
