TW ⚠️ The stabilized version is brutal.

This is Alex Pretti.

That Trump / Mamdani press conference was so weird. Donald was so tame, like Zohran was taking a pig for a walk.

The old way of thinking must die, the folks who are unable to evolve must go away. They aren't built for this fight or made for this moment and they can't let go of that sweet corporate money.

Trump wants the Supreme Court to "pardon" her with a reversal so he doesn't have to get his hands dirty.

Just ahead of the Independence Day long weekend, beaches across the country have closed and issued advisories due to excessive levels of fecal waste.

The Supreme Court’s decision in the LGBTQ books case lays bare the extent to which the justices exist in a bubble. They don’t interact with anyone other than wealthy conservative Christian lawyers. The law exists to protect people like them, and no one else. ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/mahmo...

Nonstop trucks with construction materials going into the immigration detention facility being built right now in the Everglades. Whoever doesn’t think this will have a harmful environmental impact is lying to themselves.

Unbelievable. Latest update from the nonpartisan budget office says the Senate Republican bill now cuts nearly $1 TRILLION from Medicaid.

so a long while ago i said the reconciliation bill impacts on renewable energy disturbed me more than what it would do to my own health care. a bold statement, to be sure! but on the potential eve of the senate passing some pretty aggressive attacks on renewable energy, i wanna explain… (🧵)

‼️‼️

Oh no doubt.

Be terrified.

It’s “Allison’s” 3 year book birthday. Here are some glowing reviews from the last few years. I am forever grateful to @querenciapress and @undermeyou . 🩷🩷🩷 #poetrycollection #poetry #poetry #poet #poetryisnotdead #poets #poesia #poetrylover #writing #poetrycommunity #poem #poems

Trump economy good, Biden economy bad? The president is a modern-day Shakespeare

Make sure the "not in constitutional crisis yet" people see this one.

📌 Trump and RFK Jr. are hoping to use the facade of science to falsely legitimize their lies and quackery. Their plan looks something like this: Garbage Questions + Garbage Methods = Pre-Conceived Hypotheses But that's not how science works! www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Remember when US troops tortured Iraqi prisoners? They ultimately paid because that’s abuse of power & a disgusting display against humanity. We now have this vile mindset running our government but imho their time in power is limited. All evil players will pay. Let your conscience be your guide.

America needs STRONG MORAL LEADERSHIP to stand up against the atrocities occurring under Orange Shitler!

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Listening to Trump's press conference is like listening to that one kid in your 2nd grade class who had an uncle who was a Navy Seal, and also happened to be a triple black belt... all while his parents were CIA agents.

Who could have seen this coming? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/u...

Dear friends... This is the Maddow show for Tuesday, March 25th Many, MANY people have not gotten their SS checks and there is nobody to help them. I'm sorry to report this bad news but you need to know what is going on... www.mediafire.com/file_premium...

Read what Hossam, a 24-year-old Palestinian journalist, wrote just hours before he was killed today. There are no words to describe the inhumanity of the times you and I are sharing.

A significant portion of the Trump administration is just a bailout for Musk's businesses.

New in PN: @kevinmkruse.bsky.social on why Trump 2.0 is worse than he expected "There’s a lot that’s deeply unconstitutional here ... Trump and Musk correctly assessed that Republicans would simply submit and give up prerogatives that Congress has jealously guarded."

No longer can this be the face of our fight for democracy! Chuck needs to resign.

Sign the petition to demand Mahmoud Khalil be immediately released and threats against his legal status be dropped! And call on members of Congress and university leaders to protect and defend the right for students to organize and protest. sign.moveon.org/petitions/fr...

Donald Trump is LITERALLY shutting our government down as we speak. WITHOUT CONGRESSIONAL AUTHORITY. He will continue to do this if they pass the CR. What the actual fuck don’t the Democrats understand about this?!!!

I vote for Chuck Schumer — to be primaried.

Talk to CHUCK!! Do something!! Lock him in the bathroom if you must.

We won’t have a country by September you idiot! We will have NOTHING left of the rule of law and democracy. NOTHING!!!

@schumer.senate.gov you are screwing us over. Is it because you’re out of touch? A sell out? Not very bright? All of the above? Vote him out! We need our politicians to have our back.

@chuckschumer.com You are wildly out of touch!!! If you refuse to acknowledge that than you must be primaried. For gods sake we are in a constitutional crisis! People are up in arms across the nation and you want to play footsies with Nazi’s? Try stepping out of your dystopian world.

If Chuck Schumer votes for cloture tomorrow, it’s proof that he’s weak and is a clear sign that we need new Democratic leadership. Polling shows that only 22% of independents would blame Democrats for a shutdown, while 56% would blame the GOP or Trump. Americans want Democrats to FIGHT, not CAVE!!!

When the rose colored glasses come off and you realize they weren’t a good writer after all.

the big cable networks are now broadcasting the Trump remarks that I clipped nearly an hour ago because Benny Johnson and Steve Bannon got the footage first

Mike Johnson forcibly removed @algreen.house.gov from the House chamber via the Sergeant at Arms after repeated disruptions during Trump's #SOTU speech tonight. Early in Trump's remarks, Democrats repeatedly interrupted him, with Green standing and shouting that Trump had no mandate.

Trump is now spreading massive disinformation about COBOL date-coding errors in legacy Social Security computer systems. 100% Totally debunked.
