We are going to invade other countries to drive out foreign encroachment. Sir, um …

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

New from @senatebudget.bsky.social : as of the end of April, ICE and CBP still have $100 billion left over and completely unused from the “Big Beautiful Bill.” Congressional Republicans are in the midst of trying to provide another $69 billion to ICE and CBP despite this.

This corruption would have ended prior presidencies. Democrats must run on an anti-corruption, lower-cost agenda. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

ProPublica and @ctmirror.org have won the Pulitzer Prize for local reporting for the series “On the Hook,” which exposed a wide range of abuses committed by Connecticut towing companies. Listen to reporters Dave Altimari and Ginny Monk and editor Michael Grabell celebrate the win:

🚨🚨Historic day in the fight against corporate money corrupting elections post-Citizens United. Hawaii legislature just became first to pass the “corporate power reset” plan designed by my @americanprogress.bsky.social colleague @thmoore.bsky.social. Governor Green must sign it into law. (1/2)

Sanders: The people have got to determine the future of what happens in our country and in the entire planet, not a handful of extraordinarily wealthy, arrogant, anti-democratic multibillionaires. That’s what they want. They have their goals. They are not our goals.

Hungarians defeated their long-time autocratic leader. Americans can weaken and then defeat Trump/MAGA too! Read this article from my @americanprogress.bsky.social colleagues @gbedekovics.bsky.social @robertbenson92.bsky.social www.americanprogress.org/article/orba...

BREAKING: A coalition of 1,000+ stars & film pros just jumped into the fight to support state AG's investigating the Paramount-Warners merger Not a done deal! We @democracydefendersfund.org @filmcoalition.bsky.social @1acommittee.bsky.social & other GREAT partners r proud to help #BlockTheMerger

At pre-election rallies in #Hungary, the crowd began chanting: #Russians — go home! The historic slogan "Ruszkik haza" emerged during the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and was directed against the #Soviet occupation 👍

LISTEN. Thank you, Cecellia Wang.

Moulton: I’m not a child psychologist so I can’t understand the mind of Donald Trump.

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United. No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed. This is no joke. Here's how it works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

TONIGHT: Join the What’s Next After No Kings 3 mass call to celebrate our impact and discuss specific, actionable plans to funnel No Kings' momentum into ongoing organizing — from community meetings focused on local actions to a national day of economic disruption on May 1, led by May Day Strong.

The Iran War has likely cost $25 billion by now. What could $25 billion fund domestically instead?

It was called the Iran nuclear deal. You threw it out because it was negotiated by a black president.

Sending ICE or other federal troops to polling places is illegal. There are specific federal and state laws that make this kind of action unlawful.

I mean there it is.

The American people have made their voices heard: #NoKings! Read about this weekend’s events in this piece by @americanprogress.bsky.social's @michaelsozan.bsky.social: www.americanprogress.org/article/as-a...

Across 3,300 cities and towns, an estimated 8 million Americans gathered at a No Kings rally to protest the Trump administration's authoritarian policies, marking steady progress toward the 3.5% of the population needed to force the government's hand. https://ampr.gs/4tn2RUZ

The No Kings protests are growing (up to 8M people!), especially in rural/conservative areas. And the Minnesota mobilizations show that nonviolent protest can force positive governmental changes. Read my latest @americanprogress.bsky.social analysis: www.americanprogress.org/article/as-a...

I am often asked what laws I would recommend blue states adopt. While there is no one-size-fits-all approach, there are seven changes every state could adopt right now, for virtually no cost or administrative burden. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/seve...

🧵FCC Chairman Carr continues to weaponize the power of his agency to support MAGA allies. We sent him a letter. “This illegal scheme must end now. You cannot be allowed to continue to ignore the other commissioner’s statutory role and play the game of “hide the ball” from the courts!” 1/

Important. Please watch.

non-citizen voting is about as common in the US as a 15-fingered man.

Rand Paul: I don't think that kind of person sends the right message to ICE agents.. I don't know how we get that from a guy who says he'll jump over the dais, and people deserve to be punched in the mouth and caning and dueling is a good example for the modern congress.

Pam Bondi is holding a “briefing” with the Oversight Committee. I believe she’s doing this to evade her subpoena. It’s structured exactly like a hearing except she’s NOT under oath & there’s no transcription or video. We just walked out. We’ll see her at her sworn deposition.

Fortunately some of us are….

Ben Meiselas on The MeidasTouch Podcast winning the iHeartPodcast Award: “When we see injustice, we call it out with moral clarity. We’re not afraid to call out fascism when we see it. When we see ICE and Border Patrol on our streets killing our people, we call it out.“

Senator Warren is right: the Paramount/Warner Bros merger is “not a done deal.” She explains why. MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD.

This is what Long COVID and ME looks like for me. Years and years of bed and couch and pain and fatigue. Years and years of less phone calls, less texts, less invitations, less inclusion, less understanding.

It's International Long COVID Awareness Day. I feel so many things. I mourn those we have lost. I mourn those of us who are bedbound or housebound and pushed from society. I mourn the lifeline research, funding, and services that have been cut by this administration.

The late night host also savaged CBS for the way it's been folding to President Trump.
