💥 We have known Trump is a traitor since 2017. When he was caught sharing highly classified info with Russian leaders, Lavrov and Kislyak. Then with the Mueller Report 2019, and Senate Counter-Intel Report 2020. Justice failed US. And Reps protect him now www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation...

Stephen Miller almost says that Trump is seeking a "final solution" in Iran but then catches himself

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.

Person who's just watched gerrymandering describing any scheme to allocate representation: "hey, that looks a lot like gerrymandering".

Don't think this is the word they intended to use here.

"I’m all in favor of using impeachment...but tell me first how you’re going to coerce the admin to provide documents and testimony, a problem that undermined every effort to impose accountability in 2019." @emptywheel.bsky.social comments on my George Conway pod: emptywheel.net/2026/04/17/d...

“Democrats, if they have a majority in the House and possibly Senate, need to start laying the predicate for a major accountability agenda. They[‘d] have the power right at the outset to start referring things for criminal prosecution that puts down on paper what all these people are doing wrong.”

So many good solutions proposed by Conway and Sargent here. Dems MUST address accountability for this current illegal regime and then address structural rules to prevent the next one.

"Fascism cannot be appeased; this is a core assertion of resistance liberalism." Good overview here of the new anti-Trump counter-mobilization and the deeper forces driving it:

Platner apologized for using the r-word in a recent interview. I was the first journalist to criticize this usage in my article, so I do take some credit to bringing attention to the problem. www.wmtw.com/article/grah...

"Some have questioned the women’s motives, the timing of their allegations, or asked why the women didn’t 'just quit.' In other words: the usual, cruel, victim-blaming bullshit. If anything, these responses make clear exactly why it’s so difficult for women to come forward....

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

Take a moment and watch this until the end.

Call it a VIP club charge and they’ll line up to pay it.

The Trump admin tried to end-run an order blocking the East Wing ballroom's construction by invoking an exception permitting work on the project’s “safety and security” features. Judge Leon indignantly clarifies: “That is neither a reasonable nor a correct reading of my Order!” buff.ly/kWARaBf

First ever criminal charges against ICE agents for pulling a gun on two people in a car during a road rage incident. They’re being charged with 2nd degree assault.

"A day"? This is the first outage I've seen in a year

I'm on Bluesky all day, every day, and here in the UK this is the first time that it has been down in a very long time, so I'll cut them some slack.

Speak with the other guy, then.

I'm just thankful there is a Bluesky.💙🌊 We've all suffered through "not great" for decades of Republican LIES & WORDS & ACTS of, I'm just gonna say it, TREASON.

I'm bothered that they misspell "regions"

Thank God there’s some good news.

DONALD & PETE should ask the Soviets what happens when you get in a fight with the Pope 🙏

Here's the article which includes the actual interview in question. Yes, he absolutely said this and yes, it's in context. wordinblack.com/2025/02/rfk-...

That’s Greg Bovino with a white wig.

I went after Gregory Bovino relatively lightly and then didn’t respond to his comment for an hour (I was in transit) and he panicked.

Get Donald OFF THE AIR!! HE IS BAD FOR OUR COUNTRY!!!

ICE is not about immigration. ICE is about normalizing a paramilitary force on peaceful streets. Abolish ICE.

NEW: Associated Press projects Democrat wins special election for New Jersey 11th district U.S. House seat.

I’m just so fucking tired.

I got the simple subscription for her, but they can’t figure it out. Now I have to travel to another state, show her how to sign in, and how to access the app. Just so she can watch what she always been able to. Fuck Amazon. END/

I’m so mad. My mom is 80. She can’t see very well. One of the few joys she has in her life is watching basketball. But now, the playoffs are only available on Amazon Prime. She’s a state away, and I can’t explain to her how to watch. Nor does she have Amazon Prime. 1/

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

And there it is.... Update in Trump's $10 billion lawsuit against his own I.R.S., in which he seeks taxpayer-funded damages for the prior release of his tax records Trump legal filing says he's in "discussions" with his own I.R.S. to "avoid protracted litigation"

It's so funny to me that Trump pushed the GOP to extend FISA after bitching for years that it was used to "spy" on his campaign. Surveillance on thee but not on me! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/u...

I am disgusted with the one Democrat who voted for Trump's war. But, I am also disgusted with every Republican who voted for it. They are ALL traitors to this country.

Back on Feb 18, I interviewed Jocelyn Benson, who told me Dem Secretaries of State were running table-top exercises for these types of scenarios. You can listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...
