America’s children: Are we poor? America: yes

If Trump can steal money from corporations and the United States citizens, I refuse to pay my student loans. They can do what they will with me but they're not getting a cent.

"A major story that probably doesn’t get talked about enough is the reality that the president of the United States is, well, out of his mind."

"If this is worse than Watergate, isn't it about time we get to the primary source: Jack Smith under oath?" -- Durbin points out the ridiculousness of Republicans holding conspiracy hearings about Jack Smith while refusing to allow him to testify on camera

As the death toll and cost of living continue to surge from Trump's war on Iran, where is JD Vance? Attending RNC fundraisers with billionaire megadonors, real estate developers, venture capital executives, and a former private prison CEO. Hello?

Traders bet half a billion dollars on the price of crude only 15 mins before Trump announced a five-day delay to attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure that sent the market plunging, exchange data and Reuters calculations showed. LSEG data shows that between 1049–1050 GMT, traders placed bets on

When the narrative shifts this fast, it’s not evidence of a conspiracy, it’s evidence of a lie struggling to keep up with itself. Lies trip you up when your story changes.👇

And that's mental healthcare's whole sanist problem. These people are in it to have power over vulnerable people. That's it. They choose people discarded by society who are in positions of weakness that they can be the boss over & know better than. That's their impulse for going into the field.

Bad news for scientific and medical instruments that require liquid #helium as a #cryogen. #TheStupidestTimeline

FUN FACT: He advised Queen Elizabeth to pardon her son 3 years, 5 months & 12 days after she passed away. Please add "UNINFORMED" to my list. Thank you for your attention to this embarrassing matter.

“Illinois has the most lead pipes in the country. The state estimates it has 667,000 known lead service lines and another 820,000 suspected lines. Chicago alone accounts for nearly 30 percent of those pipes.” 90,000 new jobs over a decade and replacing our lead pipes? I’m sold.

Really feels like we're dancing around the obvious solution here (just fund government at its previous levels until a new budget is passed)

I think the NYT is just one big transphobia echo chamber now.

That has always been the way they operate. Drag it out cost as much as possible to the victims while taking decades to resolve. Chemical and tobacco plants went 10-15 years dragging it out. Lie, smear, bribe or kill in the meantime to influence results. Or to force a settlement covered by an NDA.

Maybe it's me, but I'm starting to wonder if this apparent incompetence isn't by design. Mess things up so bad so they can just keep doing the awful things and not answer to the courts for it.

He Can Hear Us Laughing Our Asses Off About What A Stupid LOSER He Is.......

Oh, you in danger, gurl.

When Democrats take over, the new DHS head should transform ICE into a 21st century Civilian Concentration Corps.

PS their vests said “HSI” and “ERO” not “ICE”, presumably because they know everyone hates ICE but isn’t familiar with ICE’s subdivisions

The sight of the ICE guys just chilling should just encourage more TSA agents to quit. This is an insult to all of them.

How it’s all going at LaGuardia this morning: insane lines for unpaid & short-staffed TSA while 20+ ICE agents just hang out and chat.

Plz plz plz

I have literally no idea what beliefs this man holds besides “I should be President”

Israel is seizing territory in Lebanon. Following Putin's playbook in Ukraine, Israel plans to occupy southern Lebanon up to the Litani River. 😳👇

We just sold our electric 2014 Renault Zoe with 100,000 km to a friend and upgraded to 2026 Renault Kangoo E-Tech. My wife manages a small country hotel and farm. There’s always stuff to haul. It will soon be powered exclusively by our home solar installation. @vedeibiza.bsky.social

this man truly wouldn’t know what a spine was if it slapped him across the face

Somebody is making a fortune on the war with inside information and it is grotesquely corrupt.

once again I am compelled to mention that Bush v. Gore likely went down the way it did because Sandra Day O'Connor cooked her brain on talk radio scholarlycommons.law.hofstra.edu/cgi/viewcont...

I just resigned from NASA. It breaks my heart to leave, but I’ve become convinced the best path forward is to do the best science I can, and that can’t be here anymore. I’m still in love with the promise of those four magic letters. Ad astra per aspera, and remember: Earth is the only good planet.

Jared, one of Trump’s chief “negotiators,” is on MbS’ payroll, so it is unsurprising Trump is considering risking US lives on a very sketchy mission.

McGovern: He’s doing nothing to make healthcare more accessible. They say we don’t have the money—but we have a billion dollars a day to blow on this crazy war. I don’t think he gives a shit about the American people. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and he’s golfing.

I do not understand why the democratic party does not cultivate successors. House Reps are so unconnected they can't even bother to look at local government to possibly get people in position to continue the policy fights. Waters should have been grooming a successor for years.

it is not ageism to say that a person who is 25% likely to die during the next two years should not be making our democracy contingent on her healthy survival

The Trump admin butchered a $42.5 billion infrastructure bill broadband grant program (BEAD), killed all affordability requirements, offloaded a big chunk to Elon Musk, and is trying to steal half the funds to create a new slush fund for god knows what and the press coverage is not great

Here is Ari's preview of today's asylum case, and we will have her story later today on the arguments.

"By making everything a daily story instead of telling a broader one about this guy being out of his mind & a danger to us all, journalists show they’re still worried about coming across as partisan. They’d rather write down what he says & assume people can figure it out. But obviously many can't."

Trump moved the remains from the graves

Every true strategic analysis suggests that a ground force in Iran is a logistical nightmare… Which is why it’s not been done

each day it gets easier to hate the voters

went out to meet a friend for breakfast and was talking about this, and realized that tariffs are a prime example of retcon governing. remember when they started claiming tariffs were being imposed because of ... fentanyl?

it's the retcon administration. they impulsively do something pointless -- start a war, send ICE into cities and airports -- and then they retroactively try to make up an explanation that makes the slightest amount of sense.

Graham started the Mistake Out Co. and moved production from her kitchen to a 10x26 portable building in her backyard. Her big break came in 1958 when she was fired from her secretarial job. She used this as an opportunity to focus on her business full-time, renaming it the Liquid Paper Company. /4

I just watched a Mighty Mouse cartoon & felt the same feeling generated when watching my hero 70 years ago when I was five & had such a crush on him! So silly to feel a crush for a super cartoon mouse when I'm 75! But I enjoyed being in touch with five-year-old Debbie after so long!

#ResistanceRoots #WomensHistoryMonth Bette Nesmith Graham was born on this day in 1924 in Dallas, Texas. A secretary, she was frustrated with the difficulty of erasing typos made on early electric typewriters. She used tempera paint to create “Mistake Out,” later called “Liquid Paper.” /1

This is what a vampire looking at a classroom would say.

The Delta Airlines hub in Atlanta has suspended stand-alone specialty services for members of Congress until the Republican Party's TSA funding crisis is resolved. This needs to be every airline and every airport. Congress can wait in line with the rest of us.

BREAKING: Delta is suspending its special service desk for members of Congress until TSA is fully funded, per @ajc.com. Delta says members of Congress will now be treated like all other flying customers. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

That's what I like to hear from our *leaders,* " hope for the best and we'll see what happens."
