These kinds of things happened two decades ago under the last Republican president. A lot of people made a lot of short term money. Then it all came crashing down and his successor had to clean up a huge mess. Here we go again.

Ouch 🚽

Mike Johnson has the House adjourned for 42 days, Trump just came back from a week in Asia, remodeled a WH bathroom and flew to Palm Beach for a golf weekend, they refuse to negotiate with Dems, Dems had to sue to get Trump to release SNAP funds, but Republicans are blaming Dems.

DC J6: 1.500 arrests DC No Kings: zero Tell me again which side is violent?

For his own vanity, Pete Hegseth is pulling our military leaders away from their missions around the world— At great cost to American taxpayers and our national security. In every way, this abrupt, unprecedented meeting is too high a price. I’m demanding answers.

Well, what do Germans know about creeping fascism anyway?

They had kids, too.

NEW: Missouri voters have sued to stop Gov. Kehoe’s Trump-ordered gerrymander. The lawsuit says Republicans rushed through an ‘unconstitutional’ mid-decade map to dismantle Kansas City’s 5th district and silence Black voters.

No one would be confused about what is happening here if they saw it in another country.

"American democracy promotion is effectively dead," Brian Klaas writes. The world's authoritarians have taken note that they no longer need fear Washington's condemnation when they tighten their grip on power:

Americans have been duped. Every other advanced country has universal healthcare, universal education, paid family leave, paid maternity leave, at least 6 weeks paid vacation, living wages, and a commitment to green energy. That’s how you make America great.

According to a new poll, 76% of all adults think there is a serious threat to the future of our democracy. This includes 89% of Democrats. I started Democracy Docket in 2020 to be an independent source for pro-democracy news, information and analysis. Sign-up now for free. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

In a mere matter of days, we can house migrants, but not our homeless. Because being cruel is always the motivation. #AlligatorAuschwitz

Sarah: Audrey’s life is just as valuable as any other child’s. Audrey’s life is big. She doesn’t need words to be a good friend—but she does need Medicaid.

How did this work out?

Bryan Bedford, Trump‘s nominee to lead the FAA, has reportedly been lying and claiming to have a commercial pilot license that he does not actually hold.

I never, ever want to hear another god damn word about state’s rights…

Frost: Tonight the people stealing are not folks with tattoos and hoodies but people wearing suits and ties and congressional pins sitting in the capitol now, not in some alley wrapped in darkness but the United States congress wrapped in the flag. It is disgusting and we will never forget this.

In New York, ICE detained a busload of farmworkers that were actively involved in a union drive. In Washington state, ICE dragged a farmworkers’ rights activist and leader out of his car to detain him. Be warned: attacking unions is a hallmark of fascism.

We need to be sharing this now, Ohio friends. Jim Tressel is not a friend to public education. He doesn’t want anyone to find out about this. open.substack.com/pub/10thperi...

He's also the president who killed things like this. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

May Day Reminder: The Federal Minimum Wage - in the richest country EVER - is still only $7.25/hr. UNACCEPTABLE.

Meanwhile, in Canada…

Columbus, Ohio Statehouse rally for public education! @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org

NIH cancels its first and largest study centered on women www.science.org/content/arti... No paywall link archive.li/hjm4B MAGATaliban considers women's health research "waste, fraud and abuse." Why would any self-respecting woman vote for them?

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Columbus, Ohio today #handsoff #fiftyfiftyone

That trophy is the public education system in the hands of this administration 😆🙄

Here is an up to date list of Big Law collaborators along with how much in free legal services they have pledged to Trump's causes. Paul Weiss 40M Cadwalader 100M Milbank 100M Skadden Arps 100M Willkie Farr 100M A&O Shearman 125M Kirkland & Ellis 125M Latham & Watkins 125M Simpson Thacher 125M

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Office—he didn’t wear a suit! I mean, here’s a picture of Kid Rock in the Oval Office—he looks like he’s about to jump over 10 buses on the White House lawn.

I am a coal miner’s granddaughter and saw first hand the results of mining coal. No one in their right mind wants to do that bleak, dangerous, backbreaking work. As a child, I watched my granddaddy cough up his black lungs. Coal is unnecessary and destructive. We don’t need it.

Golf with the Saudis is more important

Incredible.

This is the 20th straight hour of Booker speaking. This is the energy and honesty we need in a Senate leader, not what we have been getting. bsky.app/profile/atru...

BREAKING via WaPo: Mike Waltz and other members of Trump's National Security Council conducted government business over personal Gmail accounts, where they held conversations about highly sensitive information, including about military positions, powerful weapons systems, and more

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence. Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

Republican U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said he and Sen. Jack Reed, the committee’s top Democrat, will request an inspector general investigation into the use of Signal by top national security officials to discuss military plans.

Pay attention to this: Elon Musk is now trying to buy a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Why aren’t more Democrats talking about this??
