Trump wants to cut Medicare and Medicaid. All to give the Pentagon $1.5 TRILLION for his wars. Full statement: crow.house.gov/media/press-...

Shared by Tom Williams

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

What a collection of words.

Trump’s new budget adds an extra $500 billion to fund wars abroad — about $3,700 more for every household in America — while cutting health, jobs, housing, and education. Put simply, it takes more of your money for foreign wars, while making life in America even more unaffordable.

Two points about the downed F-15 crew in Iran: 1. Hegseth threatened “no quarter” against Iran, making the situation worse for those downed fliers. 2. Media speculation that the fliers could be used as “hostages” is sloppy language. They'd be prisoners of war taken during combat. Not "hostages."

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

In addition to purging the Army Chief of Staff Randy George, Hegseth also fired Gen. William Green Jr., the chief of Army chaplains who happens to be Black. I can’t even begin to count how many Black officers he’s sacked. You can bet his replacement will be a white Christian nationalist.

Brown University is home to George Orwell's original manuscript of 1984. Most of it is marked up heavily in Orwell's hand-writing but this untouched page caught my eye.

Tremendously important article by @johnsipher.bsky.social in The Bulwark. The damage that Trump is doing to the US IC is deeper and more profound than you might understand. He is changing its very structure. www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-d...

The cost of health care is out of control—and Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill made it so much worse. And now Republicans are talking about additional cuts to health care. Insane.

Trump, as always, lied to us. Over 2 weeks ago he said "we won." If so, then why are we still there? What’s next? All we can count on is more lies from Trump. This delusional man is a danger to our country and the world.

"The institutional channels through which professionals speak truth to power are being dismantled or ignored." Former CIA officer @johnsipher.bsky.social on the damage is Trump is doing to American intelligence:

A WIRED analysis of DHS records identified dozens of specialized federal agents who used force against US civilians during the largest known deployment of its kind in US history.

"The refrain of 'shut up, bitch,' echoed from Andrew Tate videos...carries a simple message....male supremacy [is] an animating feature of the far-right politics dismantling American democracy today." Unsettling glimpse into male supremacist side of some segments of online far-right Christianity:

This is why I keep it out of my classrooms. This is why I teach my students to be careful/critical in their consumption of gAI. This is why universities shouldn't be so bloody ridiculously uncritical in forcing gAI on faculty, staff and students. We're inculcating dependence on a catastrophic scale

The central organizing principle behind the Trump administration is white supremacy. The corruption just made it worth Trump's while.

This is exactly it. And both parts of this are crucial: - Dismantle all parts of the state that could serve as engines for democratization and equality or curtail the power of moneyed elites - Mobilize the coercive powers of the state to impose a reactionary order against majority will.

Donald Tusk, Prime Minister of Poland: "The threat of NATO’s break-up, easing sanctions on Russia, a massive energy crisis in Europe, halting aid for Ukraine and blocking the loan for Kyiv by Orbán - it all looks like Putin’s dream plan."

We’ve had presidents who didn’t understand economics, foreign policy, diplomacy, and lacked knowledge of historical lessons. But they were advised by people who did and listened to them. Now we have a president who doesn’t understand anything and won’t listen to people who do.

How humiliating. @economist.com www.economist.com/leaders/2026...

".. What the president has intuited but can’t admit is that America, and by extension Trump, has suffered defeat. Not on the battlefield .. but on the bigger map of strategy. America’s allies in the Gulf .. will never trust US security guarantees again .." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Recap of tonight’s address by the Orange Man.

A week ago, you were labeled "anti-semitic" for saying Israel was starting these wars due to the Greater Israel project. Today, Netanyahu admitted he wants Israel to become a "supernation" in the middle east.

"The Secretary of Defense is a disgraced major that was kicked out of the DC National Guard."

LISTEN. Thank you, Cecellia Wang.

Tonight was a good reminder for us all to read books. Please, for humanity, read books. Read lots and lots of books — especially ones you disagree with! - Prof. Laslo

Yes, the T word has finally surfaced. Appropriately.

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

How accurate this satirical caricature of Trump by Norwegian artist Christian Bloom for a newspaper comment by journalist Frithjof Jacobsen on December 2nd, 2016. It was clear as day already back then. Too bad so many didn't take it seriously, so here we are.

He forgot that Congress is a thing. TBF, Congress also forgot that Congress is a thing...

A lot of truth right here.👇

With only the slightest apology for my language: Who the fuck actually wants these damned data centres?

Targeting hospitals is a war crime… THE UNITED NATIONS MIGHT AS WELL BE BURIED SIX FEET UNDER. So Israel and the United States can commit as many war crimes as they wish. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Where we are right now: The US wants to pull out, Israel wants to continue using the US as a human shield, and Iran is demanding the US send ground troops so they can kill them up close.

It seems we just bombed some residential buildings in an attempt to kill a former diplomat who was trying to facilitate negotiations. A civilian trying to *end* hostilities, surrounded by other civilians in their homes. We are completely lost.

Nothing Trump said tonight matches up with thousands of Marines and 82nd Airborne deploying to the area from halfway around the world. If we’re done in 2-3 weeks, why are they being sent?

There are rumors tonight that Trump will announce a mission to retrieve the 60% enriched uranium stored at Isfahan and Natanz. I hope these are wrong. Many Americans would die in a pointless raid. It would be a desperate gamble by a mad king. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Washington state’s Millionaires’ Tax was officially signed into law this week. The revenue will fund public education, child care, and expand the state's earned income tax credit to help an additional 500,000 working families. Remember: We still have the power to fix the system.

Wondering what you shouldn't say in a proposal? Call your program officer. Wondering what happened in panel? Call your program officer. Wondering how the latest federal stuff may affect your proposal? Call your program officer. Call your PO. 🧪 scienceforeveryone.science/call-your-pr...

Just wait until these eyesore monstrosities want to come to your neighborhood. Goodbye trees. Expect to hear a constant, electrical humming, warmer temperatures and higher energy bills. Fight like hell to keep data centers out of your area.

The true tragedy lies in the fact that he was elected and permitted to serve as President, leading to the current challenges the world is facing.

BREAKING: Iran confirms it has no interest in a reciprocal assassination against Trump because no weapon it could possibly build, not even nukes, could do more harm to the US than the current president. Iran actually sees Trump as a major asset ...Josh Helfgott

The UN human rights chief urged Israel on Tuesday to revoke its death penalty law, warning against legislative steps targeting Palestinians in violation of international law. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260331-un-...

Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows (R-Lubbock) has a plan: he wants Texas to seize three counties of New Mexico, specifically, the ones with lots of oil. Burrows says this is the Divine Right of Texans, who previously invaded, attempted to occupy but were militarily repulsed from the state 3 times

Stephen Miller demanded that ICE-holes “force confrontations” with protesters because “anti-ICE could not be viewed as successful.” He repeatedly said that protesters “need to be vanquished by any force necessary.” Later, ICE-holes murdered Alex Pretti. #ProudBlue #StephenMiller #FuckICE #AlexPretti

Al-Azhar, the top Islamic Sunni institute in Egypt, said on Tuesday it strongly regretted what it described as the failure of the international legal system to confront Israel’s move to approve a law allowing the execution of Palestinian prisoners. www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260331-al-...
