D'OH! #Florida Gov. Ron DeSastrous wants to spend $5.5M of the taxpayers' dollars to promote his plan to save the taxpayers money by virtually eliminating property taxes. Gee, do you NOT see the logic problem here, Guv? www.tampabay.com/news/florida... via @tampabaytimes.bsky.social

Reminder that the Trump regime is still blowing up suspected “drug boats” — killing 197 people since September. But no judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.

It remains baffling to me that we have a clear constitutional requirement that the president can't enrich himself on the job, something we had no problem enforcing strictly for hundreds of years, and then this sweaty conman came by and the nation just sorta shrugged it off.

BREAKING: Judge Williams in Florida orders the Trump administration to respond to the "grievous allegations" in our filing in the $1.8 billion fund case Kudos to the bipartisan group of 35 federal judges who we @democracydefendersaction.org, Susman Godfrey & Platkin LLP are honored to represent

NEW: In response to the 35 former federal judges asking the court to REOPEN the case that resulted in the $1.8B slush fund so it can investigate a fraud on the court, the Judge has ORDERED the DoJ to response by JUNE 12 with the following: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

This, yes.

Trump is stealing your entry fees to national parks.

Add it up.

The bottom line is that there will never be any meaningful congressional oversight or investigations into the blatant corruption of the Trump family enriching themselves as long as Republicans are in control. www.propublica.org/article/dona...

All of it is just people starving

After 5 years of failure, it is very odd to me that Putin still thinks that terrorism against Ukrainian civilians will compel Zelenskyy to capitulate. Putin obviously does not understand Ukrainians.

Just insane. New Jersey Gov Mikie Sherrill says DHS just denied state health inspectors full access to Delaney Hall. She's calling for it to be shut down.

BREAKING: I'm suing Todd Blanche and the DOJ to STOP the $1.8B slush fund. The Justice Department violated the Administrative Procedures Act when it established the fund, and it must be set aside. You can read my complaint here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...

I want you to hear straight from me about what happened at Delaney Hall on Monday and what I saw inside the facility. ICE out of control. GEO Group profiting off of human misery. People living in inhumane conditions. Let me walk you through it.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Dear media, You don't have to say "E Jean Carroll accused Trump of defamation and rape." You can say "Trump defamed and raped E Jean Carroll." It's been adjudicated. Thank you

Gas is $6, nobody can afford a house, and we just kicked starving people off SNAP so they now have to pay $8 for cereal. Why are we even doing this at all right now?

We need a constitutional amendment that would empower voters to directly impeach the president during midterm elections

Yes, and to your point, John Fugelsang on fire 🔥 during his interview on @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social said this: “America is like an old couch and Donald Trump is the black light.”

Roslyn Carter once said Ronald Reagan, "makes people comfortable with their prejudices." Trump didn't create MAGA, he just brought it out from under its white sheet and put a red hat on it.

Some days come in heavy, that’s ok. Let it be what it is. Look for the soft light slipping through. The warm cup in your hands, the kind word, the sky doing its pink & gold best. We can hold the hard & the hopeful at the same time. There’s a quiet kind of grace in that. #Jaye’sMorningLight

This is critically important for people to realize. This is not a fantasy or some wild conspiracy theory. Connect the dots and you will see this picture emerging. Elevating private and parochial education over public, controlling the curriculum feeds into this.

A Gallup poll found that seven out of 10 Americans said they would oppose a data center being built near them. Opposition is so intense, the poll found, that more Americans would rather live near a nuclear power plant than a data center. | Washington Post archive.ph/8yQin

"Did you agree to put forth these proposals for rule changes while you were having discussions about your possible promotion? Yes or no" -- Rep. Maxwell Frost flusters by ATF Director Robert Cekada by grilling him on same question over and over until he actually gets a response

The stock market is not the economy, the economy is not the stock market. The economy is driven by have and need, the stock market is driven by fear and greed. No matter how high the market goes, you can't fill your gas tank with stock certificates.

god I miss human beings

Trump is in the Epstein Files.

The lack of health insurance kills more Americans than Iran, yet Trump and Hegseth prefer spending 200B on war over care. Prioritizing weapons while ignoring lives is national neglect, not national security. #HealthcareNotWarfare #USDemocracy

Democrats, and many non-MAGA folks, still don't realize that Republicans are playing for all the marbles. They're all in. If they can't get power, they will burn it all down. Trump is not leaving peacefully or legally. We have to prepare.

I cannot emphasize this enough: everything we are seeing right now with voting rights, and especially the racist gerrymandering we’re seeing in the South, makes complete sense if you remember it was all in Project 2025. This was part of the plan. It’s white supremacy and too many ignored it.

Rubio: "You've got friends who have been shot in the head because they're out protesting, and it's heartbreaking to him to see these people are abused in this way and have no measures to take against their own government as a result of it. This is a vicious regime."

How, exactly, did we go from a $200 million privately-funded ballroom, to a $1 billion taxpayer-funded one?

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.

Money spent with Amazon goes directly to fund our demise. Many, many of us have managed to wean ourselves off Amazon (follow the guide pinned to my feed), and help us connect by following and reposting this list of resisters: go.bsky.app/MUqXjXT

We went from "armed gunman mere seconds away from shooting the president is killed by Secret Service" to "guy with a shotgun falls down on a different floor well outside the entrance of the ballroom and we can't find the bullets because that just happens sometimes" awfully fast.

Was this what Trump promised during the campaign? I’m struggling to remember.
