What is going on? This is insane. Trump just shared a completely unhinged conspiracy theory claiming President Biden was “executed in 2020” and replaced by a robot clone.

The Germans who supported the Nazis would still tell you how great Hitler was while standing in the rubble of their former homes.

Trump sounds like Stalin touting the greatness of collectivization while the Ukraine starved to death.

UNITED24 Media spotlights powerful new books by Ukrainian authors, now available in English. Look out for these literary gems at your local bookstore! (1/8)

Harvard's Steve Levitsky, coauthor of How Democracies Die: "We are no longer living in a democratic regime." Must-listen interview - remarkably clear about the severity of the situation we now face www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n...

BREAKING: we won! A federal judge has enjoined the administration's shut down of Voice of America Another success for the Constitution and for us @sddaction.bsky.social & our many wonderful partners & clients More details to follow--stay tuned!

"Unable to defend the broadcast from inappropriate corporate influence, he pulls the pin trom his last grenade. He sacrificed himself hoping it might make our corporate overlords up and realize they risk destroying what makes 60 Minutes great."

Every law firm that refused to cave to Trump and instead fought him in court - won!! They all won!

A rich con man twisted due process to escape justice, then turned around and sent an innocent father to a political death camp without even a shred of the same respect for the law. This isn’t “just one man.” It’s a test of who we are. And I refuse to accept that this is what America is becoming.

It's genuinely hard to express to sort of normal not politically plugged in non-lawyers *how* lawless the Trump administration is, and I think that's some part of the problem. You sound like you're hyperventilating, but it's just a flat description of what is going on.

NEW: A whistleblower report submitted to Congress and the U.S. Office of Special Counsel reveals that DOGE and Elon Musk appear to have mishandled and manipulated sensitive data from the National Labor Relations Board — and worked to cover its tracks. The NLRB is a small independent agency that…

4Chan was hacked, its source code was leaked, admin emails were leaked, AND a lot of registered users used their real names and .edu email addresses. Lotta CHUDs getting exposed to sunlight today.

“Fascism has risen in America, and it is being aided by a foreign dictator whom Trump admires.” Call your Rep. That’s where impeachment starts.

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DIcQFxt...

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what Trump did.

The EO targeting former Trump cybersecurity official Krebs is equally chilling, since Trump claims as Krebs’ crime his denial that the 2020 election was rigged. Trump, as he does, is flipping the script: election integrity is denialism. And *now* it’s a crime.

EOs targeting 2 former Trump officials aren’t getting enough attention. In invoking treason, Trump puts death penalty on table for Miles Taylor. In revoking security clearances for Penn because Taylor taught there, he gives Penn a choice: suffer or join the punishment by banning Taylor.

I this its important to include Rachel Cohen's firm-wide email to Skadden Arps to which Skadden Arps responded by suspending her access to email immediately. I think both made clear statements. 4/ bsky.app/profile/anna...

Been saying it over & over: electeds & pundits crowing nonstop about midterms; you have a failure of imagination. On this, the democracy wrecking crew plays 4D chess. Felon47/fElon/GOP simply can't afford to lose control of Congress. They seek a permanent majority & dictatorship. is.gd/cXulzn

If you’re among those who consider yourself real reporters and aren’t just chasing clicks & TV spots to push your podcast dig deep on Howard Lutnick. There is a lot of there, there, most especially his Epstein connects and Trump kompromat.

It’s go time, Michigan!! @mallorymcmorrow.bsky.social is running for Congress! This ad is AMAZING and exactly the 🔥 the Democratic Party needs right now! After a historic win in WI and massive gains in FL, Mallory is THEE person to keep Democrats rising! Follow, volunteer, donate! Info ⬇️ +…

Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. On Saturday, April 5, millions of Americans are mobilizing to show it doesn’t. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

Badass Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett continues to deliver truth bombs. I love her.

Thank you to @duckworth.senate.gov for continuing this fight. Cadet Bone Spurs doesn’t give a shit about the American service people or citizens and this event and his handling of it is proof. Axe Hegseth! #AxeHegseth

🔥Sen. Tammy Duckworth came with fire: “Cadet Bone Spurs couldn’t define sacrifice if you handed him a dictionary open to the word.” Trump’s SecDef Hegseth leaked classified info, put Troops at risk, and it was called a “glitch.” It wasn’t a glitch. It was a damn disgrace.

People are saying that there looks to be a turnout surge in Wisconsin for the judicial election so just remember that if you're in line by 8:00 pm, STAY IN LINE. Get out there and show Elon that your vote is not for sale. :)

Just so you know anyone who is so fucking dumb - they believe Nazi Elon musk is doing anything for the public good and not just enriching himself - Like a stone cold sociopathic greed junkie -will be blocked on site. Really - no one can be that stupid so if your shilling for a Nazi fuck you

Susan Crawford is directly positioning herself as being in a race against Elon Musk, who is spending tens of millions to defeat her: “I want to talk about my opponent, Elon Musk.” badgerherald.com/news/campus/...

Amen to Delaware AG Kathy Jennings’ open letter to BigLaw 100:

I just downloaded AppleTV on a new television. The security involved was greater than for Hegseth’s group text.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.

oh my god -- Comer thinks "editorial standards" literally refers to standards for editorials and is corrected by the NPR head

Did you pray for the thousands of federal workers, veterans, seniors, and impoverished people in our country and across the globe Musk and Doge and Trump are hurting by slashing food assistance and health care too, Marsha? Or do you only pray for the richest man in the world?

As the “Houthi PC small group” chat celebrated the bombing in Yemen, was there another Signal group chat — including some of the same people — discussing the deportations of over 300 Venezuelan men, and the dash to get those flights to El Salvador before a ruling from Judge Boasberg could stop them?

DNI Gabbard testified she maintains her "First Amendment rights" to post comments through personal accounts regarding views that might be different from her official work positions. Yet law firms & lawyers (incl me) are being targeted by Administration for excercising their 1st Amendment rights. 🤦‍♂️

Well, this is unfortunate. The CIA asks a journalist to not reveal the name of one of its own Never before had this happened because no other journalist received the names of CIA employees in a chat

Sen. Mark Kelly is calling on Pete Hegseth to resign.

Hegseth must resign or be fired. This is not a close call. www.cnn.com/politics/liv...

Now they can only prosecute Goldberg if they admit it was real. 🤣

They lied to you knowing a reporter had the full text chain. They lied even though they knew you'd find out. They even lied to Congress. That's because their only plan is lying.

Gotta love the random judicial assignment fairy 🧚
