I live in NC. The most delicious part of ALL of this, is that Phil Berger redrew his own gerrymandered congressional map, and then lost it. 💀 #karma

Trump has netted millions of dollars from joint business ventures with a business partner whose company is apparently building new data centers in Ohio. While Trump allies profit, Ohioans are seeing their utilities get more expensive.

I mean, we all expected that right? No other reason to have those documents

Amazing just how far little Dolly Parton has come in 5 weeks since we found her roaming the streets all on her own

Another day, another reminder that Donald Trump's business interests (which he still owns and profits from) pose an acute national security threat. Kudos to @raskin.house.gov for raising the alarm.

The fact that military officials can’t give the President of the United States an honest assessment of the war in Iran—and have to placate him by showing him videos of stuff blowing up—should be concerning to everyone.

"Russia is purposefully targeting Ukrainian cultural heritage with missile and drone strikes - with intent to destroy and erase Ukrainian culture, history and identity." This is GENOCIDE!! We have a duty to STOP genocide!!! We are FAILING this moral and legal duty BY CHOICE!!

duck butt & flappy feets!

Sad news. This administration does nothing to protect our environment.

BREAKING: Democrat Brian Nathan will win the Florida State Senate District 14 special election, flipping the seat from red to blue. This is a district Donald Trump carried by 7 points in 2024. It’s also the second Florida seat Democrats have flipped tonight.

Since the beginning of the month, over 350,000 birds have died from an avian flu outbreak in Indiana. Agricultural officials are asking producers to be vigilant to stop the virus from spreading. ow.ly/tcwm50YymsM Photo Credit: UGA CAES Extension, John Amis / Flickr cc

Don’t blame me— I left them both! “Jeff Bezos’ The WaPo saw the largest print circulation decline among the top 25 newspapers, plunging some 21% last year, followed by Patrick Soon-Shiong’s Los Angeles Times, dropping 20%.” open.substack.com/pub/harrylit...

>10,000 STEM PhDs have left federal service over the past year (including 30% of the federal colleagues with whom I’ve worked closely). Those still left are holding federal science together with duct tape. What an extraordinary act of sabotage against the American people.

i see the ellisons are spending their money well. media ad buyers will run away and not come back. there’s no boomerang effect happening here. ever.

For anyone thinking Trump won't send troops to Iran because it's very unpopular, you don't get that Trump and GOP don't care about public opinion-they are planning on stealing the 2026 election.

NEW: We sent a letter to the DHS Office of Inspector General urging them to investigate allegations that a political ally of President Trump solicited and received assistance from ICE personnel to detain the mother of his child during a custody dispute.

so TACO is taco’ing. again. heavy on the C part. again. as usual.

My library's small & I'm envious of big libraries that can employ a social worker. Just this week, we helped a guy just out of jail get to his parents place after the county randomly dropped him off here, and we helped a woman set up a burner email so she can get help leaving her abusive husband😔

i hope the thoughts haunt its dreams. every night. tossing & turning in its piggy pen. all alone. no escort ‘wife’ to comfort it. its repeated failings on display. for the whole world to see. to mock & laugh at it. yeah… that’s what i dream about.

It’s the 60th Anniversary of the end of the poll tax. So of course, Republicans want to bring it back. Read a little history & the language the Court used to leave no doubt about laws that use a poll tax to interfere with the right to vote. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

If Congress and DOJ don't subpoena the company for the name, it is because they think the person who made the insider trades was Trump himself.

Nearly twice as old as the dinosaurs, horseshoe crabs have been crawling ashore for over 450 million years. Sadly, their populations have plummeted by more than 70% in recent decades. So we just announced our intent to sue the federal government for denying them #ESA protections. bit.ly/41quLDj

Think voting doesn’t matter? 766 votes.

sooo… the mango mofo is trying to stop voting by mail. and stop counting ballots mailed on time but rec’d after election. it mailed in its ballot. which will be rec’d and counted after the election. does that make sense to any human? with a functioning brain? (it’s neither)

A new visitor to the yard this afternoon. A beautiful Kestrel, the smallest falcon in North America!!

oh how delicious. DELICIOUS!!! the mango mofo now has a dem rep. a woman dem rep! wherever you are - you can probably hear its screeching & squawking. with a lil’ added percussion from the shattering ketchup bottles.

“.. He fought back tears as he explained what was there before: two wooden shelters, an outpost to make cheese, sheds for his equipment. The horse paddock was spared, but the chicken coop was gone.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/03/24/w...

Today's cartoon by Bill Bramhall of the New York Daily News:

when lying liars lie:

Donald Trump has been President for 2% of America’s history. He is responsible for 25% of our National debt.

nope-itty nope nope nope! so tired of seeing Lucy pull away the football from idiot gullible Charlie Brown/dems. and yet they keep going back for more. nope!!!

Any Democrat who votes for the first part after they've announced the plan for the second part needs to be tarred and feathered.

The inevitable result of this would be the creation of a permanent underclass of exploitable people, who grew up in this country, know no other, and have no education so are more vulnerable than ever before; a serf class for the rich and powerful.

🧊✈️ SEATTLE: Two shackled women descend from an Eastern 737 (tail: N917XA) and are groped in the cold rain as the guards look on, playing with their chains 😲

Trump brings in about 10 million (tax payer funded) a month for his monthly golf expenses at his OWN courses. That's just one grift of many. Spare us the lame "he doesn't take a salary" spiel. Also, he has shown no proof of his salary donations. That's a single weekend of golfing at Mar-a-Lago.

if “they're afraid or unwilling to say these things publicly”… then they’re chickenshit not-good-people a-holes! grow up. quit. get a job you’re suited for. or ‘learn to code’* *coding- soon to be a non-job because of ai.

A month ago, we noted that Jared Kushner’s appointment as special envoy for peace meant he would need to file a financial disclosure so that he could resolve potential conflicts of interest and called on him to proactively divest from Affinity Partners. He hasn’t.🧵

who’s a good boy! who’s a GOOOOOOOD BOY!!!

Annual reminder: don't spray spring dandelions with roundup or similar chemicals. One flower can be visited by 100+ bees in a day, and your chemicals will kill all of them.

At the same time the Trump administration is gutting the number of civil servants, we have never had more political appointees. Some of this violates the law (e.g. not more than 10% of the Senior Executive Service are supposed to be appointees). ourpublicservice.org/publications...

Despite Trump's false claims of slashing drug prices, Big Pharma has already RAISED prices on 64 cancer drugs this year. This comes after Big Pharma gave millions to Trump's inaugural and reaped huge tax breaks and handouts from his Big Ugly Bill. "Make America Healthy Again."

Donald Trump is handing nearly a billion dollars in taxpayer money to stop a job-creating, clean power-generating wind farm from being built off the East Coast. He is putting America in reverse and selling us out to his Big Oil donors.

NEW: Documents obtained by @wired.com show that the salaries of a small NH town’s while police department are paid by ICE as part of its 287(g) program. @sammysussman.bsky.social has the scoop. No paywall: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

Trump is giddy about his power to move markets.

The Supreme Court spent 3 hours on Monday arguing over whether to change a century and a half of election law in order to soothe Donald Trump's bruised ego. They just might. Because the GOP and their justices are beyond craven. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...
