We now know that the GOP's Big Ugly bill would allow for the sale of 250 MILLION acres of public land. 5.4 million in Washington state. We can't let them jam this through in secret. Help me say it loud and clear for Republicans: Public lands belong in public hands.

Yesterday at Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in Seattle barriers were built with scooters and bikes in front of the buildings garage exit. This comes as it was announced today that ICE will be deploying tactical teams to 5 cities in the US to assist in “mass deportations”

A DOGE staffer developed an AI tool that hallucinated the size of Veterans Affairs contracts. For example, it concluded that more than a thousand deals were each worth $34 million, when in fact some were for as little as $35,000.

WATCH: "Here’s the good news: you can remove Harvey Milk’s name from that vessel, but that ship will still be bow to stern filled with seamen," says @jonlovett.bsky.social on Hegseth moving to rename the USNS Harvey Milk.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

Top winemaker ‘may have to leave its Spanish vineyards due to climate crisis’

Yesterday, Trump released a plan to rob blue states of Army Corps funding. His partisan plan cuts off blue states like mine from HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS for water infrastructure we need. This is historic thuggery straight from the White House, & we've got to speak out.

believe it or not there are people on the right — smart people, even — who say with a straight face that if you’re interested in dynamism and growth you ought to be a conservative

ALSOBROOKS: Can you name which office the Safe to Sleep campaign operates out of? RFK Jr: Which campaign? ALSOBROOKS: The one the senator asked you about just two minutes ago RFK Jr: It's ACF ALSOBROOKS: No, actually it's Health and Human Services

“Still, it concluded that Trump’s January 27 suspension of PEPFAR in those countries alone would eventually cause 60,000 additional deaths, even if the program were restarted after only 90 days. Those 90 days passed on April 27, and there are no signs that PEPFAR is about to be revived.”

“There is a crisis of confidence in the competence of this administration.” Seriously, what is going on with the economy? Justin Wolfers explains the Trump admin's economic woes.

"There's such deep sadness. These are people who have dedicated their lives to defending our country. Some of them have served for 15, 20-plus years. And they're being told their career is over as of yesterday. They don't have a choice." For what? Alaina Kupec joins @timmiller.bsky.social:

“Short-term pain for long-term pain” PM. Congressional Republicans, stop this idiocy before it’s too late.

“Everyone who serves matters.”   Cassie is a veteran and Air Force base engineer. She volunteered to help remove barriers for military women – until a “diversity” ban shut down the team.   They weren’t pushing politics. They just want to make a difference. Her story 👇🏼

Tens of millions of Americans are about to lose their healthcare. Congressional Republicans are working to cut nearly $1 trillion in healthcare to pay for tax cuts for the uber-wealthy…but they’re not coming right out to say that.  3 ways they’ll try to spin it👇🏻

THIS is what NIH funding means for real people, and why we can't lose it. I sat down with Emily & her daughter Charlie to discuss how NIH-funded clinical trials at Seattle Children's led to a cure for Charlie's cancer. This is why we have to speak up, this is who we're fighting for.

Trump is sending people off to a torture prison in El Salvador with absolutely NO due process & NO transparency. There are many people who were here legally, who have no criminal record, whose families have no idea if they're even alive. It's barbaric, and it's unconstitutional.

I traveled all over WA state last week—from Yakima to Vancouver to Blaine—& everywhere I went, I heard about how Trump's trade war is already hurting businesses, families, & our economy. It’s time for Republicans to join with Democrats and END this reckless trade war.

THURSDAY: @stephruhle.bsky.social and @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social host a LIVE town hall with federal workers who were forced out of their jobs, as well as @booker.senate.gov to discuss Congress’ response. Watch “100 Days of Trump: Forced Out Federal Workers” Thursday at 9pm ET on @msnbc.com

Our groups have come up with lots of creative ways to get Congress’ attention during this recess. Senators and representatives are back home for a few more days, and events are scheduled across the country. Let’s get to work: indivisible.org/muskorus

Trump's #tariffs hurt all Americans, except maybe the billionaires. Let some non-billionaires explain .... www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GDD... #Indivisible

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Q: "What would have happened to you if you had shared battle plans like this when you were a pilot?" Rep. Mikie Sherrill: "Like everyone else except Pete Hegseth, evidently, I would've been court-marshaled and drummed out of the military. This is absolutely ridiculous."

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy—and Trump's tariffs are hurting them the most. Today, I was in Seattle to talk to small business owners who agree—Congress MUST REVERSE these tariffs and END this nonsense trade war.

I was denied permission to host a roundtable at the Puget Sound VA to hear from women veterans about their health care. I have NEVER been outright denied from having open & honest conversations with VA—until this administration. I'm demanding an answer from VA Secretary, Doug Collins.

AOC: When he talks about rapists and criminals, he should look in the mirror

@warren.senate.gov: "State attorneys general have the same opportunity to investigate, dig in, get what the facts are. So for example, Letitia James, the NY attorney general, which has jurisdiction over the stock market and the trading that happens in NY, might decide she would take a look at this."

🚨 Join historian @hcrichardson.bsky.social and @jasmineforus.bsky.social on April 14 at 7PM ET as we mark the two-year anniversary of Project 2025’s launch. We’ll expose this dangerous plan and how it’s already affecting our rights and freedoms. You won’t want to miss this! Register here. ⬇️

In a way the tone is almost as frightening as the substance. The dissent writes like it understands the stakes, and what kind of regime we're on the precipice of becoming. The majority writes like it's hearing a case about whether rollerblades can be taxed as vehicles.

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

Black history will not be erased. I’m honored to help lead an effort to rename the House Press Gallery after Frederick Douglass --  an abolitionist, orator, and journalist.

Forcing out 20,000 employees at HHS & shuttering agencies will jeopardize Americans’ health care and put lives at risk. I'm demanding answers and transparency from Trump & RFK Jr. about these cuts & what they mean for people’s health.

The Trump administration mistakenly abducted and deported Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a father who fled gang violence and has protected status, to an El Salvador mega-prison. Now they say they can’t get him back. I’m demanding they do.

This is as disturbing and dystopian as it gets. Trump disappeared a father—with protected legal status—to a torture prison in El Salvador, admitted he was sent there mistakenly, and now refuses to bring him back. This father must be brought home—there must be accountability.

Reporter: Do you have any findings you can share from the investigation? Leavitt on Signal Gate: The case is closed

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Everyone should read this.

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.

You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t take Republicans seriously when they make this big show about law and order in defense of Tesla when, at the same time, they are letting Trump stab law enforcement in the back—pardoning violent criminals who assaulted police officers.

Trump & RFK Jr.'s mass firings at HHS are about as good for public health as a cough in the face.

We'll have one of the reporters who wrote this incredible piece on @allinwithchris.bsky.social tonight

I spoke with the Washington Post about why the Trump administration is so focused on US history: because authoritarian regimes rewrite history to legitimize their projects and normalize their chaotic, violent governance. Gift link: wapo.st/4cdjRFQ

“I’m allowed to be a traitor to my flag in my personal time!”

They are breaking Social Security, because they do not like Social Security.

Jeffrey Goldberg responds to attacks from Hegseth over his reporting: “[Hegseth] seems like a person who is unserious and is trying to deflect from the fact that he participated in a conversation on an unclassified commercial messaging app that he probably shouldn't have participated in.”

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

BREAKING: Yuval Abraham, co-director of Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," says Israeli settlers beat his co-director Hamdan Ballal, injuring his head and stomach — and then Israeli soldiers invaded the ambulance he was in and seized him. Ballal's whereabouts are now unknown.

Without a doubt, one of the wildest stories ever. A little over a week ago, the national-security adviser inadvertently added @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social to a group chat with the VP and others to plan an attack on the Houthis. You have to read this now: www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...
