It’s time for Kash Patel to step down or be removed. Period.

This looks like it will be a great read. Congrats, @barbmcquade.bsky.social!

The author of this article refused to sign an NDA, giving up severance and healthcare benefits to tell this story. If you didn't read it already, read it. Because he refused, we may be able to stop the Kennedy Center from being sold for parts and turned into a gaudy MAGA fundraising warehouse.

Chief Justice John Roberts should be impeached and removed from the Supreme Court.

There is no good explanation for this Administration to quietly lift sanctions on Russia late on a Friday night. Congress and the American people need immediate answers. We must not help Russia fund its illegal war in Ukraine and aid Iranian attacks on American troops.

Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or Independent, we can all agree that billionaires and big corporations buying up politicians like they’re just another vacation home is simply not right. We need to end Citizens United.

EXCLUSIVE: Attorneys for Rep Jamie Raskin are asking appeals court to halt Trump Admin effort to vacate convictions of Jan 6 seditious conspiracy defendants Raskin is trying to serve as firewall as Justice Dept & defense join forces to vacate the cases

Kash Patel advisor Erica Knight says a “lawsuit is being filed” over The Atlantic’s article alleging that the FBI director’s drinking has been “a recurring source of concern across the government.” Patel retweeted the post.

Trump has shown us that he will stop at nothing to silence anyone against him. If he’s unchecked, he will use FISA against Americans.  That’s why Republicans tried to push a multi-year extension in the middle of the night—and it failed. We must reform FISA immediately.

Sen. @scottwiener.bsky.social has proposed a bill that would ease permitting for clean energy projects in California. It is good & very much needed & a bunch of environmental groups are opposing it. Absolutely fucking infuriating. I'm always trying to defend these groups & then they do this shit.

IT'S OFFICIAL: The House has passed our extension of TPS for Haiti. This win wouldn't be possible without the strength & organizing of our movement to defend our Haitian neighbors. To those in the #MA7 & beyond, this is for you. The Senate must pick this up without delay.

Just. No.

In a dramatic scene that unfolded in the wee hours this morning, members of the House defeated a ploy by the administration and Speaker Johnson to ram through a 5-year reauthorization of FISA Section 702. Here’s what happened, and what will/should happen next. 1/20

In the middle of the night, Republicans tried to ram through a bill that would give the government more power to spy on Americans for FIVE YEARS. I said Hell No!

This section of the @washingtonpost.com really captures why women are enraged right now and how the system keeps allowing women to die and be assaulted. I’m HOT today so here’s a thread explaining why.

brilliant -- Morning Joe put together clips of Pete Hegseth reciting a fake Bible quote from Pulp Fiction, along with the Samuel L. Jackson scene from the movie

Genuinely funny that Sonia Sotomayor issued a public apology today for her mild criticism of a conservative colleague on a specific, substantive issue, and then a few hours later Clarence Thomas picked up a mic and was like ALL LIBERALS ARE AMERICA-HATING COWARDS

I'm fascinated by Oyster Boy's obsession with impressing his reddit friends by oversharing the worst parts of his backstory

Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

#tdih 1873 Louisiana: Colfax Massacre 💔 on Easter Sunday. Republicans had narrowly won 1872 election to retain control of state & a Black militia defended the victory, but KKK & more white supremacists used brutal violence to overturn results. #terrorism ⬇️ 🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/co...

Politics impacts your life, whether you engage or you don’t. If you think that you don’t do politics—politics will end up doing you every day.

Electing Trump a second time says something about America, something deeply wrong. Even if a majority of Americans aren't into Trump or Trumpism per se now that they're experiencing term 2 in practice. @aselrod.bsky.social and @gregsargent.bsky.social discuss:

It is legit funny but it doesn’t change the fact that if your mayor went on FB tonight, said that the Pope sucked, and then posted an AI painting of themselves as Jesus Christ performing miracles, they would be removed from office in less than 48 hours.

holy shit he actually conceded folks, they tell you they’re invincible they tell you they’re inevitable they tell you that you should give up and stop fighting and absolutely none of that is true

BREAKING: the judges who dismissed high-profile cases in immigration court against two international students who have advocated for Palestinian causes, Rümeysa Öztürk and Mohsen Mahdawi, were fired yesterday, alongside four other judges. /w @haleaziz.bsky.social and @nicknehamas.bsky.social

No women wants to be the first to make an allegation because of [gestures at the entire internet] But they're almost never the only one when they finally do.

👀 this is fantastic #Pope promotion from the Chicago #WhiteSox and a pretty poignant statement for the time we are in.

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

Credit where credit is due: Congressional Democrats showed up during recess - they came back early - to introduce a war powers resolution. Republicans blocked it.

I really think Trump's Iran threat is a breaking point. We just learned that the GOP won't step up even when its leader threatens unthinkable war crimes and even genocide. This realization of powerlessness in the face of this madness will take a deep psychic toll. newrepublic.com/article/2087...

This reporting makes clear that the war in Iran was driven by Bibi Netanyahu, not the American people. The results have been catastrophic. Our world is less safe. Israel cannot keep dictating U.S. military and foreign policy. Congress needs GOVERN.

"Rather than weaken Iran, Trump handed them control of a major international waterway and a lucrative new stream of revenue. And that’s in the positive scenario, where he doesn’t restart the war, digging deeper into a strategic hole." Really well-argued rundown of how epic Trump's failure has been:

Like many right wing ideas, it is both reprehensible and incorrect. This was a massive, massive strategic defeat, quite possibly the worst in American history. Trump's genocidal threats were products of weakness and immorality, not strength

Stunning reporting here that shows U.S. troops were left exposed in a known target zone with virtually no drone defenses. Now the soldiers themselves are calling out the Pentagon’s version of events as false. Hegseth and Trump keep lying to the American people about this war.

The article is about purging women and minorities from officer ranks. It this sentence jumped out: “Both he and Hegseth have long seen war crimes as worthy of admiration rather than scorn.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

DONALD THE DOVE www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Netanyahu wanting the war was an important factor, but he’s wanted it all along and no previous president did it and Harris wouldn’t have done it. It hangs on Trump

The worst thing about this is every Democratic member of Congress was loudly condemning Trump as soon as he threatened to erase the Iranian civilization, but Ro Khanna dismisses all of that by claiming Congress "barely made a whimper" while he praises two known right wing cranks by name.

Q: Trump said the goal in Iran was to destroy their missile program. Has that happened? Rubio: *ignores, walks away to look at paintings*

Speaking of, none of this is normal… Acting AG Todd Blanche professing his love for Donald Trump: “Thank you very much. I love you, sir.”

thakn you god for giving iran a giant victory against america, we praise you for making gas $5/gallon

At least we made Kamala Harris feel bad by giving Bibi Netanyahu the American president he wanted. That's what really matters.

Pretty succinct and accurate summary from @nytimes.com: "Mr. Trump appeared desperate for a way to escape his own threats and rhetoric, and to engineer a Pakistani proposal that he would then sign on to." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/w...

Cook Political Report just moved 5 more races our way. Americans are sending a message Republicans are desperately trying to ignore: Democrats are taking back the House.

*many people are saying* it sure looks like the White House wrote this for Pakistan’s PM, who posted it then quickly deleted the top part 😬

“.. House ratings show Dems as substantial favorites for control, as Republicans would need to win 76% of the Toss Ups to keep their majority ..” @cookpolitical.com www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/hous...
