A true fact about Trump's stock trading- I ran the numbers and Trump traded up to ~$700 million in stock in Q1 of 2026. All 535 Members of Congress made a total of ~$635 million worth of trades in 2025. So Trump bought and sold more stock in 3 months than all of Congress put together did last year

NC friends—anyone know an Aussie rescue? Or want to foster or adopt a sweet pup?

sure gas is headed to $8/gallon but at least cornell got rid of their gender studies classes. or at least i think they did, i haven’t checked and if im being honest i wouldnt really know if they had or hadnt because it doesnt affect me but it makes $8/gallon gas all worth it

This ranks up there with Trump’s “600 percent decrease” in RX drug costs in the new math from this administration.

Watching @ltgovhashmi.bsky.social and Kim Pope Adams talk about what VA women have gotten done at the @emilyslist.bsky.social gala and ready to elect more women like these across the country. So inspiring.

The Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room holds the Trump DOJ's partially redacted Epstein Files. I was invited to visit before its public debut & the impact of seeing 3,437 volumes of evidence of the greatest stain on American history was enraging. youtu.be/MVni0xUU-j4?...

Just a North Carolina Democrat noting that punditry and influencing tends to reward big sweeping statements and themes that fit a chosen narrative rather than the idea that each candidate and each race are different and should be judged on their own.

We are not being lead by serious people*. *Trump, Rubio et al.

I really wish more pundits saw the wide spectrum of views between expecting "perfection" in candidates and being concerned about past views or current positions. This is especially true when someone doesn't have a record in office.

If you believe something is wrong, then your take on it shouldn’t change if someone you like does it. Glad to see prominent Dems rescinding their Swalwell endorsements. And while I’m glad we are hearing the victims out, thinking of every survivor after having to hear these traumatic stories.

Science is good. We should fund it.

I have voted twice to advance articles of impeachment. We cannot wait. Congress must convene immediately and begin proceedings to remove this man from office for the safety of our nation, Americans, and the world.

Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.  When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?

This is the bare minimum of what every member of Congress should be saying about Trump's threats, but glad some of them are saying it now. Now if only they would remember that Congress actually has some power to rein the president in.

if you invented public libraries today, every opinion page in the country would be arguing for means tested subsidized Amazon Prime memberships

Reflecting this Passover about what it means to “love the stranger” and how much it matters that we live up to that value in this moment of intense anxiety and pain for immigrants, refugees and asylum seekers. 💙

If Biden delivered such a rambling, slurring performance, people would solemnly demand that he resign and never run for office again

At least one family member has pushed back on the "every family member" said to finish the job story Trump just told. It's particularly shameful to use grieving families to sell a war when it's not what they "all" said. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

Yup, this was definitely worth network time during prime time... How do the networks keep letting the White House play them like this?

Trump’s hand-picked EEOC Chair, Andrea Lucas, is hunting businesses, universities, & individuals as her mission to weaponize the agency on behalf of white, Christian men. I analyze the first EEOC lawsuit brought against a corporate DEI program & why it's a huge red flag. youtu.be/TrzRw83Km74?...

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to all!

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

Anyone who talked to me during the 2020 presidential primary has heard this rant before, but since Democratic "insiders" are back on their bullshit, I'm back on mine. Stop using electability as a weapon. substack.com/home/post/p-...

For those counting at home, Democrats have flipped 29 state leg seats since Trump was re-elected. Republicans have flipped none. This midterms we have a chance to do big things, if we run good candidates and do the work. And then we can do big things in office. www.cnn.com/2026/03/24/p...

Republican Senator notes that Trump demanded "no deals with Democrats" to allow TSA workers to get paid. Thank Trump for your time in a TSA line. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

If I were Secretary of Transportation, I would spend every waking moment recruiting air-traffic controllers, increasing their pay and benefits, getting them in-house massage therapists, forcing airlines to stop increasing flight traffic. Sean Duffy, however:

No. You called it a war. You launched it from your Department of War. And the American people know exactly whose war it is.

A fun fact I just learned is that UNC is on the wrong side of the record biggest comebacks in the first and final games of the NCAA men’s tournaments.

BREAKING: 49 Senate Republicans just VOTED DOWN our simple bill to pay TSA workers. Republicans have now blocked TSA pay SEVEN times. It’s a slap in the face to the men and women who have been working without a paycheck for weeks.

1. "Two dolls." 2. "Chicken, tortilla, and one other item." 3. "One less trip to Starbucks."

It’s amazing how quickly Black women have been targeted by these laws and doubly so how little this factors into the analysis around the sexual and gender politics of this movement.

Do they think these Bessent interviews are going well?

Being part of Trump's orbit means you can't do something we teach in kindergarten: if you get something wrong, you say you're sorry.

Two things can be true, IL primary edition: 1) We can celebrate Stratton's win, her candidacy and the history she will make serving with Sens. Alsobrooks and Blunt Rochester. and 2) We can be sad that we have to celebrate the history of three Black women serving at the same time....

Democrats voted to reopen TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. Republicans voted NO because they refuse to rein in ICE. This week, we will launch a discharge petition to force another vote. If the GOP actually cares about paying TSA workers and keeping families safe, they’ll join us.

Did you know that Virginia has their own Prop 50? Probably not, it’s not getting the kind of attention California did. Hopefully, this post will help change that. 1/

Don't forget that the #Igivearod is still in full swing! So far, over $5000 has been raised for Alaska schools and other charities. Check the spreadsheet and find something calls to you! docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

The U.S. seized a ship from Venezuela. -- and has gotten stuck paying $47 million so far for repairs and maintenance. The total value of the ship? $10 million. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/13/u...

Look, it is a sign of strength and success when you try to censor press coverage of your unnecessary war.

Some folks treated me like a naive child for believing we had the money to cancel a portion of student loan debt

We spent $11.3 billion in the first 6 days of war. You know where I’m going with this.

Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”

Glad he’s back to the old classics.

Nods in “my dad used to play Joni Mitchell and Bob Marley at my junior high parties.”

Americans don’t like war - for very good reasons. And this locker room talk might feel good while playing Call of Duty with the bros - but I assure you it’s widely unpopular with regular people who don’t want their kids and grandkids to go to war or their tax dollars spent to send them there.

were we wearing a suit when we asked? did we say please and thank you? it’s important to be grateful.

Trump is *outright saying* he thinks the runoff should be canceled! "The Republican Primary Race for the United States Senate in the Great State of Texas ... cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer." And yet he hasn't canceled it. Funny that.

For booksellers, the ABA created this form to make it easy to contact your Rep about this terrible bill. www.bookweb.org/advocacy-act...

The Idaho House in it's *wisdom* is hearing a bill that would make it a crime for me to provide legal services to an undocumented person - any kind of legal services, including assisting them in obtaining legal status, obtaining a protection order in a DV case, or representing them in a PI case. 1/
