This should be broadcast, streamed, and read aloud by Democrats between now and the Second Coming. Trump says all federal programs—Medicare and Medicaid by name, Social Security by implication—must go. It’s astounding. It’s political poison. Make Republicans drink it.

Meanwhile in Russia: state TV contradicted Trump's rhetoric about Iran and claimed that the U.S. seems to be "on the verge of a capitulation." www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUUc...

"We need a 5% wealth tax on America’s 938 billionaires. Over a ten-year period, this bill would raise much-needed $4.4tn for public coffers," writes @sanders.senate.gov. "Let’s choose democracy over oligarchy."

NYT Documents Crimes Committed by J6ers After Trump Pardons: ‘More Than 110,000 Child Pornography Images’ The New York Times Editorial Board released a lengthy piece documenting all of the crimes committed by Jan. 6 rioters after they were pardoned by Trump. www.mediaite.com/media/news/n...

Speaking of Easter, tis the season to read the second greatest story never told: @theauthorguy.bsky.social's "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal". 😁🐰

The Constitution compels you to follow the Constitution, which includes the recognition of universal birthright citizenship, you dishonest tool.

In honor of Easter, not a tweet, but ....

Ummmmm, if we're bringing them back to the stone ages it means we're going too. 🙄🙄🙄 He's such an idiot!!!!!

Who TF "belongs" in the Stone Age? Racist POS belongs in jail.

Further proof that the cruelty IS the point.

Dear NJ, Please donate clothes & set up outside ICE. Help families change their wardrobe so ICE has no idiotic excuse for turning them away. Also, document each instance involving clothes swaps so you will be able to provide these instances to your legislators.

My Dad was in prison for transporting a fuck ton of cannabis across state lines for pretty much the entire time I was in high school. The prison was a 2.5hr drive away. The guards were TOTAL ASSHOLES about “dress code” and turned my Mom and I away multiple times. It’s pure power tripping.

Bookmark this for the “but Obama’s Iran deal was bad” people in your life

Is it a good sign that the White House commandeered prime time on the networks to broadcast what was essentially an unconvincing proof-of-life video?

unlike education, health care, child care or parental leave which is woke bull shit

“It will just open up naturally,” Trump says about the Strait of Hormuz. He also once said, at the beginning of the pandemic, that COVID would end by itself. "One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear"

With tears in their eyes. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🖕

The father of deceased Tech. Sgt. Tyler H. Simmons said this is not true: "When he spoke to me, that was not something we talked about."

His friends are buying. He will say something that makes them surge tomorrow.

The S&P futures erased half a trillion in market cap during Trump’s incoherent ramble. The markets are catching on to what most of the world has figured out. There is a lunatic in the White House.

They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science, the kind you literally cannot restart once it’s gone. #USForestService

IF WE HAVE SO MUCH OIL HERE WHY THE FUCK IS THE PRICE GOING UP????

Reaction to Trump’s speech.

US exports of distilled spirits to Canada fell 70% (!) last year. That's because there has been a ban on U.S. spirits sales across most Canadian provinces distilledspirits.org/wp-content/u...

It's scary to have a President this divorced from reality.

Objectively, the plain evidence shows they are not close to "decimated": - they still have loads of missiles and drones and take out U.S. and allied targets every day. - they control the Strait for the first time - they still have a nuclear program - the regime is intact

Republicans normalizing war crimes and sadism.

Anyone watching that speech has no idea whether Trump is escalating or deescalating the war with Iran. But to be fair, neither does he so🤷‍♂️.

Trump had a chance tonight to talk about lowering costs for working families. To no one's surprise, he didn’t. Instead, he bragged about an illegal war he started and called it an “investment.” Working people didn't want war. They wanted relief.

I don’t wanna hear another f’n word about how Gavin Newsom can’t read after Donald Trump stumbled through that entire speech in a slurry, illiterate, and jumble of a word salad address to the nation.

Tonight was a nationally-televised, Truth Social post with zero concepts of a plan. Trump can say we’re winning a war no one asked for—and that gas prices aren’t skyrocketing. But we all know the truth. The Senate must do our constitutional duty and rein this President in.

Great speech, dude.

Why bother having spies or engage in espionage when you can just track U.S. military plans by following polymarket bets of insider traders in the Trump administration?

The thing to remember is his residual strategy is to commit war crimes as leverage attempt. Attacking Iran’s electrical grid will unambiguously be the deliberate bombing of a civilian target.

A DOGE staffer convened a meeting with Department of Energy officials to discuss the future of nuclear power and downplayed the risk of radiation exposure at nuclear test sites: “They are testing in Utah. … I don’t know, like 70 people live there.”

We always seem to prioritize the things that make the rich richer and never get to the part where people have basic dignity and security. The billionaires and the bigots have destroyed the American Dream because they decided it was only for themselves. Other countries have been able to do this.

This interview with Ronald McNair’s brother, and the story of a 9-year-old future astronaut walking a mile to a whites only segregated library to read, always gets to me. www.npr.org/2011/01/28/1...

So Trump is actually mad at Pam Bondi for not abusing the Justice Department enough.

One thing that amazes me is that two of the three American astronauts on board Artemis II graduated from public universities: Christina Koch earned three degrees from NC State, and Victor Glover was a defensive back on the Cal Poly football team. We are not going anywhere without public education.

“I’m sorry. If I see a Black pilot, I’m going to be like, ‘Boy, I hope he’s qualified.’” - Charlie Kirk Artemis II Pilot…

Trump is asking for $200 Billion for his war with Iran – but he's not asking for a single penny for the VA. Hmmm... FACTS.

And this is the tried and true formula throughout America's lunar mission history: The vast majority of astronauts either went to service academies, large public universities, or technological universities (Artemis II commander Reid Wiseman is an RPI and JHU alum.) The moon is not for nepo babies!

Trump just cut a midterm ad for every Democrat in America. bsky.app/profile/fact...

Thank you, NASA! Watching the mean-spirited incompetence of the Department of Defense under Pete Hegseth, DOJ under Pam Bondi, and the Department of Homeland Security under Kristi Noem, and the anti-science ignorance of RFK, Jr. it's a novelty to watch a government agency act competently again.

Many things we take for granted in everyday life came from investing in our space programs. Memory foam, velcro, scratch-resistant lenses, cordless tools, water purification systems, infrared thermometers, freeze-dried food, & LED lighting, just to name a few. youtu.be/g3XxY9MAwl4 🚀

I know there area a lot of people saying we should abandon space exploration in favor of fixing this planet, but if we eliminate the inefficiencies of end stage capitalism there's plenty of resources to do both - and likely synergy between the tech we'll have to develop in the process.

What a fucking shot holy shit

If Trump isn't getting paid by Putin, Putin has the cheapest, more effective useful idiot in history.
