Hakeem Jeffries responds to Karoline Leavitt: She wants to lecture us about civility? Get lost. Clean up your own house before you have anything to say to us.

Worth watching the whole Graham et al press conference on the "national security" imperative for taxpayers to finish the Trump ballroom. He basically says that Trump should not do events outside the WH security perimeter for the rest of his presidency bc the left is so dangerous.

NEW: HOLY HELL. Remember when I asked how soon it would be before Blanche filed notice with the court that the shooting justifies the ballroom and the National Trust should drop its case?? Well late tonight, Blanche filed and INSANE motion to dissolve the court injunction. Check this out: 1/

Build the dang spider or the terrorists win!

After 13 years working on UBI full-time, I've learned: in tech, talking about UBI is easy. Funding it is rare. So I've just launched the AI Pledge for Humanity to separate the talkers from the doers. And to share Elon's role in silencing one of his own engineers who pushed for UBI.

And let us not forget what ought to top the list: "A whole civilization will die tonight."

Good morning, Swampy!

We all must overcome this by sticking together and VOTING.

New episode up! Streets can be more than places to move and store cars—they can be places for children to thrive. Alice Ferguson and Tim Gill call for a “radical, child-centric approach to transport policy and planning.” That would change everything for all of us. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

Reagan actually got shot at the same hotel and never asked for a ballroom

. Of course I agree with her More importantly, MAGAts themselves are starting to wake up and agree with her It’s all unraveling Mr. Trump .

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." ~Samuel Langhorne Clemens

liberalism skews educated and smart. there's no conspiracy. presenting real history and science expose right wing lies and nonsense for what they are. that's why Republicans have been actively destroying the American educational system, from pre-K through grad school, since Reagan defunded CA.

It's not like California is losing anything. Let them go not pay taxes in another state.

And the downside to this is....?

Jon Ossoff with a TRUTH about who it is Republicans represent.

Just signed the AI Pledge for Humanity. The next time someone says AI will require UBI without doing anything about it, send them this. actionnetwork.org/petitions/th...

The New York Times writes far more stories about the trans community than any other US print outlet, and is the least likely to quote a trans person when it does. Seems bad?

If I’m the one who has to keep pointing out that this foreign policy emperor has no clothes, so be it. open.substack.com/pub/danieldr...

Hold on. We the taxpayers are going to pay companies $900 million, which is more than 6x what we spend on wind power R&D, to NOT build wind power at a time when electricity prices are spiking and we need more clean power?

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet @lindseyboylan.bsky.social at the @eleanorslegacyny.bsky.social 25th Anniversary lunch. She is an extremely impressive human being with infinite courage. If you live in NYC 3rd District, rank her!

Yes, the United States is so civilized and above the rest of the world that we had a violent insurrection at the behest of a wholly corrupt leader to ignore the ballots that were cast. Lindsey, you are a shameless, groveling, stupid lapdog.

They shot Alex Pretti ten times while he was face down in the street.

Trump is laundering MILLIONS in taxpayer funds to that MAGA felon Gen Mike Flynn Flynn is, no doubt, using it to organize his Qanon/WWG1WGA army to help Trump overthrow the midterm elections

While trump regime pardons & pays criminals, 10,000 VETS have lost their homes w/90,000 more at risk now. Bc 47 shut down program that helps VETS pay mortgages. He wastes $$$ & Americans lose vital services & affordability. WTAF www.npr.org/2026/04/02/n...

The cost of the ballroom was originally supposed to be $200 million, less than a year ago. Now it’s $400 million. Its price has gone up even more than the price of gas at the pump. And guess what? We’re paying both for our gas and—if the Republicans have their way—for his ballroom.

Assistant Manager Cat, welcome to the War on Cars. @thewaroncars.bsky.social

I hope, somehow, they both lose

when a democratic president takes office lindsey will be the first to cut off funding

TBH I’m a little surprised Trump hasn’t used the whcd events to announce he’s doubling the size of his planned ballroom.

Damning detail in here: CBS had managed to secure a visa to get into Iran and Bari opted not to send anyone.

plot twist the other potential jurors voiced negative views of altman

do attorneys like it when both their client and the opposition are despised equally by the jury

trump gets a $400 million ballroom, a $400 million jet, he's suing the IRS for $10 billion and he's golfing every weekend. You get unaffordable healthcare, high grocery prices, high gas prices, high electricity bills and one piece of chicken.

Mexico didn’t pay for the wall, Trump gold cards didn’t balance the budget, there are no $2,000 DOGE or tariff refund checks, and donors aren’t paying for the ballroom.

He never had the money to pay for the ballroom. It was always a scam. We were always going to have to pay for it. They were just waiting for the right moment to hit us with the bill. This is now the time.

Imagine announcing you failed as a parent so loudly

Fellow Angelinos… Remember who this POS is before you vote.
