It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

Wait, Hegseth fired the ARMY CHAPLAIN too? That's a career-defining scandal for any cabinet secretary in any other era. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/u...

Affordability 🙃 www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Joe Biden won the election in 2020. If a future judge can’t admit that, what’s left?

We take the wins when they come, and this is a meaningful win.

Suspicion confirmed: They started the Iran war thinking it’d be easy. Hegseth thought Iran just take it, apparently failing to grasp the difference between a few days of limited bombing and threat of regime change. Very frustrating, since that required dismissing years of scholarship and warnings.

We used to be decent.

A key part of having military officers nominated by one president and having overlapping terms into the next presidency is so that the military is not seen as partisan. By replacing generals & admirals to get more "suitable" ones, Hegseth and Trump are destroying American civil-military relations 1

This is central to it all

Trump is retreating to his safe space of ballroom posting

Friends I am excited to be doing an in person event in Bethesda, MD next Thursday with wonderful partners. Join us, bring friends, share with others - will be a great night to talk politics and plan for how we can make the November elections everything we want them to be!

During a war with the leading state sponsor of terror, Trump has now fired the head of the Department of Homeland Security, the Attorney General and now, the Chief of Staff of the Army. Talk about regime change. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Excited to share a new conversation on defending our democracy with the great warrior @marcelias.bsky.social. Lots in here to learn from, chew on. There is much we can, and must, do together to ensure we have free and fair elections this year. Enjoy 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/defending-...

Higher gas prices makes lots and lots of other things more expensive.

Maybe Congress should return? Bit of a shitshow here in DC.

Disgusting.

Tulsi, let today be a reminder that you, too, are expendable to him. You'll be tossed aside by this administration but we won't forget all the lawlessness-like this photo:

While Trump is sending servicemembers into the Middle East for another illegal war, he’s also making sure veterans lose their homes. www.npr.org/2026/04/02/n...

This article provides a much needed anecdote to the stupid "vibecession" debate that was happening yesterday on this site. Yes, things actually *are* really bad economically for a lot of people.

Things Are Bad For Trump and The Republicans. They Are About To Get Much Worse @simonwdc.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/simonwdc...

Can anyone explain what’s going on here?

Yep, things are bad for Trump and Republicans right now. They are about to get much worse - much, much worse. My latest, with lots of data and charts 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/things-are...

Impossible to understand where we are now. 100 percent incoherent. A crazy, old, addled guy just begging for someone to put him in a home. Hope Vance is getting ready.

"One agent is married to a TV news anchor who reports on the Border Patrol. Another, who also engaged in a gun battle with a school shooter in Uvalde, Texas, has posted in an online gun forum with thread titles like 'Whipping Haitians.'" amazing work by @awinston.bsky.social + Maddy Varner

Trump needs to stop blaming others, man up, and fix the incredible global mess he's made. New video and written analysis 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/trump-must...

🚨NEW: Gregg Phillips, who holds one of the most consequential jobs at FEMA overseeing disaster response, is doubling down on claims he teleported to a Waffle House and a church — writing "haters gonna hate" on Truth Social and citing biblical accounts on teleportation. www.cnn.com/2026/04/01/p...

Trump has created an extraordinary global crisis, and it got worse tonight.

Of course he should step down as soon as possible.

OMG what a disaster this speech is.

F-ck the Republicans for making this possible.

Trump is struggling to deliver the remarks. Incredible we are being asked to accept this as legitimate.

Whatever…

Powerful, necessary statement from the national security leadership of House Democrats.

The Buffalo Medical Examiner rules that the death of a legally blind elderly Burmese refugee dropped off by Border Patrol at a closed shop late at night in winter was a homicide. He died of a burst ulcer caused by severe stress brought on by dehydration and hypothermia.

We are fighting wars so the American people get less. Literally what he said today.

Most major news orgs tonight after Trump's speech: "Trump says negotiations to end the war are going well. War should be over in a few weeks." Also, "Would you like to inspect our wallets?"

Donald Trump and Kash Patel are targeting me because we’re winning. Californians see through it. That’s why I’m fighting back, and why I’ll always fight for you.

Happy Passover to all who celebrate!

US keeps lifting sanctions on Russia and its global allies.

Hall of Famer!

Newsmax host and former Marine pilot.

Raging Trump showed up at the court to watch most of his arguments in this case fall flat before the conservative justices. As @stevevladeck.bsky.social tells me, this underscores "how likely he is to lose it." newrepublic.com/article/2084...

Wait until Trump finds out who made it harder for the US to leave NATO: www.reuters.com/business/aer...

There are a lot of countries that allow birthright citizenship, but there is only one stupid enough to make you president.

Great news!
