@mushkamushk.bsky.social Happy Birthday!🎈🎉🎂

Jeffries: We have an American president behaving like an organized crime boss, stealing taxpayer dollars in real-time in front of everyone in plain sight. And Republicans have nothing to say about the emerging crime scene at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue.

Today, ballet icon Misty Copeland will perform for the last time. Misty Copeland is the embodiment of the American Dream. She grew up poor, didn't hear classical music until she was a teen and became one of the few Black dancers to join a major ballet company.

omg! "Demolition crews have begun tearing down part of the White House... "Construction teams Monday were demolishing a portion of the East Wing, with a backhoe ripping through the structure..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

No Kings Philly!!

@gg-ol.bsky.social Go Eagles! 🦅 Great game today!

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com shares a note Trump sent him comparing its signature to the Epstein birthday note signature youtu.be/FXrf647Yp20?...

“They just see us as little toy soldiers to put on the street to show some muscle.” Alex, a National Guard recruiter who requested anonymity to speak freely, told Mother Jones that the DC mission has deterred potential recruits and pushed soldiers to their breaking points.

@awkwardterrier.bsky.social Happy Birthday!! 🎈🎂🎂🎈

So just to be clear - the “protect the kids” party is now shutting the government down to protect sexual predators? Do we have this right?

New political ad just dropped. Thanks, Mitch!

This fundraiser benefits a young family of a wonderful friend I know from the Outlander fandom. You may know her as @LaughOutlander. Please help rescue them from a sudden cascade of medical & homeowner bills. Insurance only goes so far. Thanks. gofund.me/22f3b9e9

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

In any other time in American history, 1/10th of this scandal would be the end of a presidency. But this is just like a day that ends in Y. This is our life now.

Breaking: Hamas has released a new video, telling the hostage families, "soon your children will return in black coffins." This is disgusting abuse. How can this go on without outcry? Imagine it was your son, daughter, partner, or friend. I feel sick to my stomach.

Holy shit. This is the funniest political ad I’ve ever seen. The Republican House Caucus wants it taken down. You know what to do.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

My family got these payments when my dad died at 34 years old after serving in the Navy for a decade from what he had paid in. I was five. Jeanine is an incurious ignoramus. Thanks @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for correcting her, which is God’s work.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

Hands Off Philly!

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

BREAKING NEWS: Senator Cory Booker has taken the Senate floor and vows to keep speaking tonight as long as he is physically able. Booker is doing it to draw attention to all the dangerous executive actions Trump has taken in the last 71 days. What he said was so true:

Looking for corporate media coverage of the @booker.senate.gov filibuster and finding NONE. Currently live on CSPAN2 and YouTube.

"That’s why the CIA guards don’t allow cell phones, or even Fitbits, into their buildings. Which brings us back to Bill Murray’s question: Why was the director of the CIA using a cell phone at CIA headquarters?" www.spytalk.co/p/signalgate...

BREAKING via AP U.S. District Judge James Boasberg said during a hearing Thursday that he’ll issue a temporary restraining order barring Trump administration officials from destroying messages sent over the encrypted messaging app Signal.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

I don't always cross-post, but this is me

Wyden: "I'm of the view that there ought to be resignations, starting with the national security adviser and the secretary of defense."

Pete is pissed.

NEW: The ACLU has filed a sworn declaration from a Venezuelan woman who ICE sought to turn over to El Salvador under the Alien Enemies Act, who declares that "I heard two US government officials talking and they said 'there is an order saying we can’t take off but we already have.'"

But her emails...

me reading national security secrets bc i've been accidentally added to a group chat

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
