SENATOR @gallego.senate.gov : “This guy, and this guy, and this guy could potentially get payouts from the federal government — for assaulting these police officers. So much for backing the blue.” #SeditionSlushFund #TrumpHeist

Rep. Ted Lieu slams the nearly $1.8B taxpayer-funded slush fund as "completely unethical & totally ridiculous." He warns Acting AG Todd Blanche will lose his law license for this behavior. Call your members of Congress & tell them HELL NO! 📞 202-224-3121

Today, the American people won. After we exposed Trump's $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund & threatened to make Republicans vote on every part of it, they're running scared. They've pulled down votes & are going home. We know they'll be back at it, but so will we.

~> The Fourteenth Amendment… written in the Blood of the Civil War, Says in Section 4; that This is blatantly illegal; ~> N.EITHER the United States Nor ANY State; shall assume or pay ANY debt Or ‘ obligation ‘ incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States… <~

We use vague words like corruption, graft or grifting, but the simple fact is that we are watching crimes—Fraud, Theft, Bribery, Extortion—being committed in broad daylight, and these people can't be ushered into prison cells fast enough (after fair and impartial proceedings that honor due process).

We still have beauty.

Tina Peters sided with Donald Trump’s Big Lie over our democracy. Reducing her sentence is an insult to Coloradans and a reward to a wannabe king. crow.house.gov/media/press-...

What is something you refuse to give up on?

Scott MacFarlane slams the corporate media for helping Trump rewrite January 6. By underresourcing coverage of the largest criminal prosecution in American history, MacFarlane says mainstream outlets created the vacuum that allowed Trump and his allies to spread lies about the Capitol attack.

A protest song we can dance to!! #StraitOfHormuz

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

1.6 million voters approved the redistricting in Virginia. 4 judges denied them.

"Nobody should feel good about what Virginia did. Nobody should feel good about what California did. But Texas went first," Ruth Marcus says. "Texas went first at the urging of Donald Trump." https://to.pbs.org/4dftPra

AOC on possibly running for the Senate or President: They assume my ambition is a title or a seat. My ambition is way bigger than that. My ambition is to change this country. Presidents come and go, elected officials come and go, single payer healthcare is forever.

And here he was just lecturing all of us that we think the SCOTUS is political. I think what most of us believe is that several of them (Thomas, Alito, Roberts) are corrupt to their core. Yet more proof right in front of our lying eyes….

I am CRYING. The youngest’s grade just finished performing their concert, and one of the last songs, they sang and did full sign language for. Youngest is non-verbal. For the first time ever, he was able to sing/sign with his class.

We don't ordinarily publish posts at [checks watch] 8:51 PM on a Friday night, but state constitutional law expert Quinn @yeargain.bsky.social has an outside-the-box idea for reversing the VA Supreme Court that is very much worth taking seriously: Dems can simply lower the retirement age.

This is Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, a public health physician and progressive politician from Michigan. He served as Detroit's Health Director and Wayne County Health Officer, and is currently running for the U.S. Senate in 2026. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

Abigail Spanberger, your years working at the CIA were all leading to this moment.

Welcome back to Canada, President Obama. Thank you for joining us in Toronto for important conversations on how we can build a better and more just future — and empower more people to build with us.

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

@jimacosta.bsky.social Thank you for calling out the “Asshole Bully” on your show. I so appreciate you.

Doesn't matter if the performance itself is staged. The fact is, talented musicians coming together and giving a performance in a public space means the masses get to witness this for free and that's beautiful. TT: Raphaël Froissart IG: Michel Tirabosco ~ Pan flute

This is depressing mostly because it shows how powerful pop culture is compared to education. The Flintstones helped normalize the image of humans living alongside dinosaurs, and if someone grows up with that as a “default mental picture,” it can stick even if they later learn otherwise.

State attorneys general across the country can intervene to stop this antitrust nightmare. We need to keep up this fight.

We have a lunatic president.

Tennessee lawmakers weren’t going to allow a little thing like a tornado to spoil their plans to carve up Memphis and disenfranchise Black voters. They are absolutely shameless.

Marco Rubio: Operation Epic Fury is over. Our preference is to return to the pre-war status for the Strait of Hormuz. 🇺🇸US Senator: But the SOH was already open before the war? So what was the point of whole war? You have created a Global Crisis OUT OF NOTHING” #cdnpoli

Hey John Roberts, we’re not all dunces.

“I live in constant fear that I will be subjected to further baseless detentions just for going about my daily life." On May 2, Leonardo Garcia Venegas, a Florida-born US citizen, was detained by ICE in Alabama for the third time (!) in the span of a year. And he's suing the federal government.

Trump has used “Divide and Conquer“ to completely screw up our country, and is exporting the same vile hatred. Why does no one remember what happens with Divide and Conquer?

There is an actual law saying the DOJ must release Epstein files. They broke that law but nobody is arrested. Why can't we arrest people?

Elon Musk's no-show for a French judicial summons did not slow the inquiry. Paris prosecutor's office confirmed on Thursday, May 7, that it had opened a criminal investigation on May 6 into the parent company of the social network X and its owner, Musk. www.lemonde.fr/en/pixels/ar...

NEW: French prosecutors are seeking criminal charges against Elon Musk for child sexual abuse images on the platform, deepfakes, disinformation, and complicity in denying crimes against humanity by the platform's artificial intelligence system, Grok. apnews.com/article/fran...

‘The older I get, the more I believe happiness lives in ordinary things, pets on the bed, coffee in the garden, birds in the morning, the wind through the trees, a clean house, shared food, warm hus and the sky changing above. So much of life's beauty is quiet, gentle, and already here’

When someone has a 63% disapproval rating and goes to a Yankees v. Tigers baseball game. Sound up:

Katie Phang and Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky visit a new exhibition space in Tribeca where the Epstein files are bound in 3,237 physical volumes. “To see the person who scheduled me, who is still not behind bars—her name is here.”

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."
