An effective push back against GOP culture war tactics? Seems to me it should be.

We should get a do-over 250th since the Trump years don't count as being an independent republic.

Just listened to an interview with Sundar Pichai. I don't need AGI. I don't really need agentic AI. I do want AI to cure cancers. I want AI to accurately predict the weather a month out. Formulate the unified theory of relativity. It doesn't need all of Shakespeare or how-to YouTube videos for that.

I just introduced the Anti-Insurrectionist Act in NY. It's simple: If you're a New Yorker who takes from Trump's illegal January 6th slush fund, NY will tax 100% of it.

"The billionaire class in California includes roughly 250 households, a mere 0.001 percent of the state’s families. Yet its wealth now amounts to more than half of California’s entire annual economic output." - New York Times Tax the rich. Pass the billionaires tax in CA.

We will not have a future if we don't learn from the past. Much of that learning includes punishing those who willfully transgressed our laws. People need to be taught there is no future in committing those crimes.

Spread this far and wide, please.

Dear news media, Do not give the Trump regime credit for opening the Strait of Hormuz, if it happens. I know it's hard to remember things that happened less than 3 months ago, but Trump's illegal war closed the strait in the first place. Sincerely, Mark

@rbreich.bsky.social : "These purges cement Trump’s stranglehold over the GOP. They send a clear signal to all Republicans who seek office or who are planning to run for reelection that they must be a rubber stamp for Trump to gain or remain in power." You have no power as a rubber stamp.

Not enough news coverage of how the insurrectionist reparations fund is a clear violation of the 14th Amendment. We need to enforce the Constitution in its original meaning and plain text. You can't imagine away parts of the Constitution just because it is politically inconvenient.

An ICE Air flight is currently en route to San Jose, Costa Rica from Honduras. It originated in Harlingen, TX & stopped in El Paso. This would likely mark the 4th forced third country transfer to Costa Rica after 3 flights on April 11, 17, & 24.

“I don’t think about Americans’ financial situation,” Mr. Trump added. “I don’t think about anybody. I think about one thing: We cannot let Iran have a nuclear weapon. That’s all.” Almost the truth; he only wants a "win" no matter how pitiful. He needs it for his fragile ego; all can go to hell.

john roberts has fulfilled his life's work and fully dismantled the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement. these fucking neo-confederate freaks need to be driven from power forever

We must call this for what it is: voter suppression that will silence Black and brown voters. The magnitude of this decision cannot be understated — it guts the Voting Rights Act and its very purpose of protecting all voices. Every American deserves an equal vote.

Those of us in the pro-democracy movement can and should hold both of these positions. 1. We unequivocally reject violence. 2. We will unequivocally oppose efforts by this administration to use last night as an excuse to try to suppress criticism and criminalize dissent.

"[People] think that they earned the wages and that the prices were done to them." @pkrugman.bsky.social This misses the point. When people get raises they expect to have more disposable income to work with. If prices/costs go up equally, they don't get ahead. That's the negative vibe people feel.

Ken, I'll take "Deranged MAGA Rants for $500." Answer: What is an example of a MAGA voter detached from reality and social norms?

This is treating Trump v. United States as law. It is not law. It is anti-law. It belongs in that category of Supreme Court decisions which were not merely wrong, they were illegitimate and non-binding from the day they were issued. It is owed no more respect than Lincoln gave Dred Scott.

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

What do you mean no reason? How else could we surrender to Putin without actually surrendering? Actually, it's quite clever of whoever is controlling Trump in the Russian government.

The SAVE Act – which would require documents like a passport or birth certificate to #RegisterToVote –has failed in the Senate. “The ability to vote must be defended every day, and the SPLC will continue to be there.” — Laura Williamson, SPLC Senior Policy Advisor. 🔗: https://bit.ly/3QzWhfr

Democrats did not want to do any mid-decade redistricting. It was Trump who started it in June 2025 with a phone call to Greg Abbott after more special election losses. Dems warned they’d respond. But Texas did it anyway - without the consent of the voters. Then Dems responded.

Thank you Trump for your endorsement on redistricting.

Just as often, the music press creates its own echo chamber implying popularity and influence of an artist beyond the listening public.

Huh. Did anyone anticipate it other than Putin and Netanyahu?

Imagine if all of these cable news channels and their inane anchors and brainless guests disappeared and responsible journalism came back in vogue. People might vote more responsibly.

They've been tearing down those guardrails since before 01/06/20, and have stepped up the pace since inauguration 2025. The plan is to cause enough chaos in the midterms to undermine voter trust, disqualify results, and force a Republican majority in Congress through the Courts and Congress.

Millions of Americans are struggling to afford rent, groceries, and gas in Trump's crumbling economy. How is Trump responding? By fighting legal challenges to his ballroom and unveiling plans for a 250-foot "Arc de Trump" — which could be financed by millions in taxpayer funds. Priorities.

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

Every single one of the astronauts who went to the moon and back on Artemis II was educated at a public school. Thinking of the teachers who poured into Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen tonight. You helped send a kid to the moon! 🌕 💛

Yes I'm tired of winning. Can we please go back to losing again under someone like Biden or Obama?

For the love of humanity why is the Pope and church using X?!? No one other than hateful, Musk-loving, wannabe Nazis should be on X. Boycott X. Boycott Tesla. Boycott Musk. These egotistic tech barons only worship money. Deny them.

When an insurance company is deciding whether to pay for your medical treatment, it generates a file, which should contain all records associated with your case, including documents explaining why the claim was denied. You have a right to see this file. (Published May 2023)

Analysts & pundits have delivered annual industry reports prophesying an end to declining #wine sales soon-2027 or 28. Tens of thousands of vineyard acres have been ripped out. Supply should be equalizing with demand. Except demand continues to decline www.marketingwine.com/2026/03/27/i... #winefeed

Yep. www.techdirt.com/2025/11/26/o...

“I don’t know that I’m a Republican anymore”: A Wisconsin dairy farmer relies on immigrant labor. He feels like the party he’s always supported isn’t listening to him. No, you're not listening to THEM. They don't care what you have to say. And you're the reason why we have this shit show right now.

Why don’t we complain more about Bluesky not having editing?

The real theme of the modern age is "Nobody Wants This". AI, ICE in airports, ICE in general, the Iran War, data centers sending actual cities wiht people into blackouts -- "nobody" wants this. And yet here we are.

Evidence suggests reactivations of the varicella-zoster virus may accelerate aging and raise dementia risk. Now scientists want to know if vaccines and antivirals could help protect the brain.

Let me be clear: claims of widespread noncitizen voting are false. Incidents of noncitizens actually voting are so rare that when Utah conducted a full investigation, it found none. Zero. @democracydocket.com

From the man whose PAC committed voter fraud in Georgia, whose DOGE wasted billion$ of tax dollars, whose employees stole the personal data of every US citizen.

Most California voters support the state’s newly proposed billionaire tax, according to new polling. Meanwhile, rich Californians are plotting a $500M slush fund to influence the state's politics. So they can't afford a wealth tax, but they'll spend a fortune buying elections? See the problem...

🚨 Trump's cronies are circulating a draft executive order to declare a phony "national emergency" over made-up foreign election interference—just so he can seize control of our state-run elections. This isn't about integrity—it's a blatant attempt to rig the midterms. Tell Congress to act NOW:

ou yeah! Thanks @firefox.com, that's a big deal 👏

Siding with the Constitution isn't siding with Iran.
