If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

So we get multiple conflicting reports, including from Trump himself, that Vance is or is not leading the US delegation for peace talks on Tuesday, then we get multiple reports from Iran state media that they have no plans to attend peace talks on Tues & didn’t know about it.

All right, this piece has triggered me so I have to yell a bit (though this is bluesky, so I realize I'm just preaching at the choir):

So the Clean Power Plan was never implemented. Now, want to hear something funny? The targets in the Clean Power Plan -- for growth in clean energy, for retirements of dirty energy -- were exceeded. Before the deadline. *Without the reg being passed.*

And here’s a gift link to the remarkable story about the FBI Director from @theatlantic.com. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez: “Here in Spain, we are approving and advancing a process to regularise half a million immigrants. “And I want to say to the Right and the Far Right who oppose this: Spain is the daughter of migration and will not become the mother of xenophobia.”

"Tap" is when you touch someone gently on the shoulder to get their attention, or how you bounce your feet with anticipation or impatience. And now we are using it as a euphemism for lethal bombing of civilians and medics! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

How is it Trump's nominee for the IAEA, a key nuclear inspection agency, didn't know that both the IAEA AND Trump's 1st Admin certified that Iran was in compliance with the JCPOA? The JCPOA was preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Trump ripped it up & started a war.

Update on where things stand on FISA: this deal is a win. We got the House to back down from an 18 month extension, buying us time to negotiate on real reforms. I'll be fighting like hell for reforms that put your privacy first, and will have more to share soon.

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

It shocks me how many businesses still don’t seem to get that Trump’s cultural revolution did not actually happen

Apparently, a #vibecession is when things are going so well with the economy that workers are torching warehouses and firebombing CEO's homes.

"Mass immigration is good, socially and economically; is the single most significant factor in America’s current position as the global locus of commerce and culture; we’ve been lucky to have it; and we should want more," writes @felipedlh.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2080...

Why do we have lawmakers in Congress who are willing to hold fellow members of Congress accountable for sexual assault but not a President?

because CD players, walkmans, and VCRs usually fucking worked and did precisely what was asked of them without relogging in and syncing and re-entering passwords and getting confirmation codes and doing 2FA with out TV and phone and clicking a fake "remember me" box that's fucking why

Kevin Warsh is refusing to disclose more than $100 million of his assets. Totally unprecedented. Warsh needs to release this information now. What is he hiding?

We are being embezzled, nonstop, by a billionaire who can never fill the hole in his heart

I'm new to the @alexfalcone.bsky.social train, but I am delighted by his informational and also hilarious videos, such as this glittering precious gem on AI -- "Is AI a scam yep?"

Viet Nam’s largest city is about to make buses free. Ho Chi Minh City, home to 14 million people, is preparing a $280 million annual plan to make all intra-city bus travel free, aiming to increase ridership by about 30% and reduce traffic and emissions. VN Express buff.ly/WYbduTu #ShareGoodNewsToo

Heartbreaking description of the pointless, thoughtless damage being done to the Kennedy Center. It was such an important part of life in Washington, and is now being destroyed for no reason www.theatlantic.com/culture/2026...

Todd Lyons led a secret police force for Trump where masked agents attacked our own American streets, violated Constitutional rights, and shot our own citizens. We’ll hold you accountable too.

On Monday the Trump admin will launch the tariff refund system for the $166 billion in tariffs they illegally collected. And all of that money will go to companies. 56,497 ​importers are set to get refunds so far, with no requirement they pass that money along to customers.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

this is just to say I have had an issue fetching the posts that were on the timeline and which you were probably hoping to doomscroll forgive me the takes were so hot and so rate limited

THE HOUSE JUST VOTED TO EXTENDED TPS FOR HAITI!!! Thank you, Rep. Ayanna Pressley for your leadership on this. Proud to help co-lead this effort for our Haitian brothers, sisters, and siblings. What a day.

Me reading The Art of War: this was considered revolutionary? Surely armies knew to have enough supplies and food before going to war! Me today: oh.

fyre (on civilians) festival

just admit you can't do anything and leave me alone about it! god!!!!!!!

“Discharge petitions almost never work. They require 218 signatures — a majority of the full House — and party leadership in both chambers typically treats them as threats to institutional order. On immigration, they have historically died well short of threshold. This one didn’t."

This is one of the most beautiful parts of the world but the oligarchs will now be able to pillage it, rob from us all. The danger of contamination will be high and this affects our friends in Canada too. A sad, sad day. Fuck this entire administration. earthjustice.org/press/2026/s...

📌Pope Leo XIV TODAY: “The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants. Blessed are the peacemakers, but woe to those who manipulate religion and the name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.” He is NOT backing down.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

After big dams on the upper Klamath River in far northern CA were removed in 2024, Chinook (king) salmon migrated upstream for the first time in 100+ years--and now they have hatched.

ICE is arresting delivery drivers at a San Diego military base. According to an attorney interviewed by Kate Morrissey, military police at the gates call ICE on any driver who is not a citizen or green card holder, even if they have permission to be in the country. capitalandmain.com/ice-has-arre...

BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans. After the federal government settled the case, 34 states kept pursuing the giant ticket and concert company. Now, the states have won.

My hometown took out the trash last night and voted to oust the MAGA mayor after his failure to do anything to stop ICE from kidnapping our neighbors. He had been mayor for TWENTY-SIX YEARS!! Also, my mom taught 5th grade and one of her students just got elected to city council. Let’s fucking go!

Get 'em, @wyden.senate.gov !!

🚨 BREAKING: 2 corporate sponsors of Trump's Freedom 250 have apparently dropped out. Mastercard and Deloitte, previously listed as sponsors of Freedom 250, are no longer on the list of sponsor companies. United Airlines is a notable addition to the sponsor list. Freedom250.org (left) is now 250.gov

Incoming Hungarian PM Péter Magyar went on Orbán's state TV today for the first time in 18 months: "This factory of lies will end once the Tisza govt is formed... What has been going on here since 2010, which even Goebbels or the North Korean dictator would have been envious of, cannot continue."

If you paid taxes for 2025, you likely paid: $124 — school lunch & nutrition programs $49 — diplomacy to prevent wars $19 — USPS $19 — Federal Aviation Administration $18 — national parks and $4,049 — weapons and war. These priorities are hurting us all. We need change. #TaxDay

Yep. Taxes should pay for *public benefits* and people should be told what they’ve paid for all the time. ‘Like this new park and these new rec programs? Great, it’s thanks to you! Like this leave policy? Awesome, that’s why you put a little in the common pot. Look what we can do together!’
