Trump is melting down on Truth Social tonight.

Aside from who started it, states like CA and VA putting a counter-gerrymander up to a referendum, where people are told and can make a decision on the context for why it's being done, has vastly more democratic legitimacy than state legislators rushing it through because they got bullied by POTUS.

It's raining on CAs Central Coast and "Raul" a strawberry worker, reminds us, "Rain or shine, we farm workers are out laboring in the fields. We work hard to plant, care for and harvest the crops that feed families across America." #WeFeedYou

Warsh may be a reasonable guy and capable economist just playing a role here. But if integrity and independence are qualities we value in a Fed Chief, he does not have them. Every nominee who dodges this question tells us that they have no meaningful commitment to American democracy.

Flu vaccines aren’t about “freedom.” They’re about keeping troops healthy enough to do their jobs.

We shouldn't just have to accept the fact that gas and heating oil prices will remain high for the next year. The President is waging a reckless war — with Susan Collins' stamp of approval — and Maine people are facing skyrocketing costs as a result.

Maine Governor Janet Mills, candidate for U.S. Senate, held a joint press conference with Planned Parenthood Action Fund, which endorsed her candidacy earlier this week. This is leadership. #Fempire #CodifyRoe #CodifyERA

Israeli citizens on vacation deserve to be able to enjoy their vacation. Israeli citizens are not representatives for the Israeli government. Do you harass Russians on vacation? Do you harass Chinese people on vacation? Do you harass Iraqi Arabs on vacation? www.instagram.com/reel/DXMJkRP...

So here's the thing: If you blame Harris, the DNC, or whoever because you weren't inspired or they didn't earn your vote ... ... you deserve Trump. Because you're not fit for purpose as a citizen of a democratic society. Voting isn't a prom date. It's your civic duty. Yours. Not the candidate's.

BREAKING: Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned.

After Netanyahu's office claimed that Peter Magyar had invited him to visit Hungary, the PM-elected says that he will enforce all ICC arrest warrants once the country re-enters the Rome Statute. [Hungary will] "have a legal obligation to enforce the ICC rulings and I'm sure [Netanyahu] knows this".

For folks who ripped North Korea for decades y'all sure are cheering while we become North Korea and whatnot.

Verily, verily, I say unto you: Democrats pay attention to people who vote, not people who won't. Like everyone else, they respond positively to promises, negatively to threats. If you wanted an end to Netanyahu's genocide, you should have voted for Harris, then made clear what you expect in return.

"Obama needed to appear with Mamdani." "Obama is sane-washing Mamdani." "Mamdani is more popular than Obama." "Obama is more popular than Mamdani." You're all fucking weirdos for saying these things. Just enjoy the cute clips of them in a kindergarten class and shut the fuck up.

Khanna to Maria Bartiromo: "Barack Obama was a great statesman who left America much safer. I wouldn't put Donald Trump in the same paragraph. Obama actually did his homework ... all Donald Trump did is listen to Netanyahu. That's his entire foreign policy."

You can call it a hoax. You can call it a staged event. But mostly you can call it the workings of a sick, demented man.

Finnish Pres Alexander Stubb has some wise words for Washington:

President Stubb: “I would prefer in the long run to see Ukraine in NATO. You know, I know for political reasons some people have problems with that. But let's think about it really serious. The Russian threat is not going away. So what then gives us comfort? In my mind, it's Ukraine.” 📹: CBC News

Buttigieg: I’ll give the Turning Point folks a lot of strategic credit for going to a lot of different places. Going to these college campuses is kind of the equivalent, in their minds, of the way I feel when I go on Fox News. The difference is, when I go on Fox News, I’m telling the truth

19 April 1943 | Groups of Jews in the Warsaw Ghetto began the uprising against Germans. Their heroic battle lasted 27 days. Today we remember the bravery & sacrifice of people who chose to resist against impossible odds to die in dignity & save the human spirit. More: https://t.co/OoVGtqwWPu

Grand wizard pepaw is absolutely bonkers but remember a president’s mental acuity stopped mattering after July 2024.

VP @kamalaharris.com: Trump said he would bring prices down on day one. But instead, inflation is up, cost of groceries is up, gas is up, unemployment is up-- Audience member: Blood pressure's up. VP Harris: Blood pressure is up! I know that's right.

I know exactly who needs to hear this but whoever you’re thinking of when you use the term “profound autism” is also worthy of existing
