Saudi Arabia was supportive of the Hormuz operation until they realized the Trump admin wasn’t going to do anything to defend UAE when Iran started hammering them. Then they were like woah fuck you, this isn’t what we signed up for.

God when will this end?!

A new report this morning revealed historic levels abuse by ICE against detainees. And the government was documenting it all. www.adamkinzinger.com/p/top-news-c...

Mitch Landrieu to @weareufd.bsky.social: "Not only do they want to create a system where you can't vote, they want to take away votes that have already been cast. The message is loud and clear: they will not be stopped, at least not judicially."

RED FLAG: The Trump Justice Department has demanded the identities of every worker who staffed the 2020 election in Fulton County, Georgia, according to court records. The demand targets employees of Fulton County elections as well as volunteer poll workers, who likely numbered in the thousands.

Spoken like a man who is currently losing his primary. bsky.app/profile/atru...

We must come to terms with the fact that anything that Donald Trump or any member of his administrations says is automatically a lie.

Not once, not ever. These people lie like they breathe.

I do not recall ever having a restaurant ask me for ID when I arrived. This is the acting Attorney General of the United States. bsky.app/profile/atru...

No restaurant has ever asked for my ID when I can in. These Trump people never stop lying. They are a blight.

WELKER: “Should everyone selling ‘86-47’ merch worry about getting prosecuted?” BLANCHE: “Of course not. That phrase is used constantly… the shells are just part of the case.”🤔 No answers. Trump’s DOJ is a dangerous farce.

He is a snarling, vicious, grotesque avatar who says the things you believe and hurts the people you want to hurt. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/no-good-pe...

"The intent here was vile, stacking the deck to give 41.4% of Florida voters control of 85% of Florida’s seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. And lawmakers knew what they were doing — what DeSantis had commanded them to do." - Orlando Sentinel Editorial Board 🎁🔗

The 2024 promise to cut fuel prices in half was nothing more than a bait and switch. Two years later, gas prices are at a 4-year high. This wasn't just a failure, it was a deliberate deception to win. #TrumpsGasCrisis

Today's Supreme Court ruling in Louisiana v. Callais is the culmination of John Roberts’ two-decade crusade to gut the Voting Rights Act. It is, simply put, a devastating blow to American democracy.

Mere hours after the U.S. Supreme Court gutted the VRA, Republicans across the nation — but particularly in the South — called on GOP legislatures to redraw congressional maps ahead of November’s midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Today’s Supreme Court ruling guts the Voting Rights Act and turns back the clock on the foundational promise of equality and fairness in our election systems.

“I would also note that under Barack Obama, 197 general officers were removed,” Mr. Hegseth said in testimony before the House Armed Services Committee. “So this is not something specific to this administration.” The number Mr. Hegseth gave has no basis in fact. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/u...

BlueSky has to decide if they want to spread truth or if they want to spread feel-good CBS stories about abandoned puppies that got adopted. Either eliminate the silly (coward) moderation lists and let it all work itself out, or I'm outta here

The Supreme Court is broken. They will continue to dismantle our democracy because that's what they've been groomed to do for decades. Right-wing billionaires have purchased 6 of the 9 Justices. They don't fear any consequences or repercussions for their actions.

So, I read where some police folk were watching the security footage of the shooting. The "shooter" did not fire a shot. One agent fired across the path and hit the other agent. So... to put it more simply... looks like the "shooter" never fired a shot! He just ran through a security checkpoint.

Opps you forgot to scrub this from the internet, this campaign is a really bad joke 🤢🤮 That's $525 million 😲 secured AFTER he started 11 months ago! What was his salary and BONUSES oh wait it is one of those sleazy PRIVATE EQUITY companies that doesn't have to disclose that info, unlike public ones

Breaking: Supreme Court invalidates second majority-Black congressional district in Louisiana, effectively gutting last remaining part of Voting Rights Act

BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana map that fairly represents Black voters, gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. This devastating attack from the Court majority destroys protections for voters of color across the country.

ADAM SMITH: A year ago, you and Trump said Ukraine had 'no cards' to play. Clearly that was wrong. What did you miss? HEGSETH: Joe Biden .... SMITH: So you're not gonna answer the question

The John Roberts Court has done more to reduce the political power of poor people and Black people while enlarging the voting rights of rich people and corporations than has any court since Roger Taney was Chief Justice in the 1800s. I opposed his nomination in 2005, and I stand by that.

John Roberts has been trying to kill Voting Rights Act since he was young lawyer in Reagan DOJ in early 1980s. That's most important context for today's Callais decision. Roberts Court has now issued 3 major decisions gutting VRA, turning law into dead letter www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Any candidate worth their salt who's running for the Democratic nomination in 2028 will campaign aggressively on expanding the Supreme Court.

Supreme Court Deals Further Blow to Voting Rights Act The court’s conservative majority said they had upheld the landmark law, but the liberals accused them of gutting it. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

The core problem with MAGA is they’ve swapped patriotism for personality worship. They love Trump more than America. When he attacks our institutions, mocks our military, or puts himself above the Constitution, they cheer. That’s not conservatism. That's a cult. Real patriots put country first. 🇺🇸

Roberts' Court just issued 3 major decisions gutting the Voting Rights Act, continuing to spend Trump’s second term not applying the law so much as clearing it out of the president's way.

The U.S. advanced goods trade deficit widened to $87.9 billion in March, up $4.4 billion from February. So. Much. Winning. 🙄

HEGSETH: Their nuclear facilities have been obliterated SMITH: Whoa whoa. We had to start this war, you said, bc the nuclear weapon was an imminent threat. Now you're saying it was obliterated? HEGSETH: They had not given up their *ambitions* S: So Operation Midnight Hammer accomplished nothing

#Florida Gov. Ron DeSastrous' incredibly gerrymandered congressional district map deletes the state's sole Hispanic-majority district for the sin of being too Democrat-dominated. www.orlandosentinel.com/2026/04/29/c... via @sundogwriter.bsky.social

Jonathan Ross, the ICE-hole that murdered Renee Good, is back to work at DHS in an administrative capacity after being relocated out of Minnesota. Internal investigations have been frozen regarding the murders of Good and Pretti. #ProudBlue #JonathanRoss #ICE www.democracynow.org/2026/4/29/he...

Comey seashell indictment is an abuse of power by DOJ. My thoughts in @msnownews.bsky.social www.ms.now/opinion/jame...

Fuck you, Trump.

"Former New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas says he was ordered to 'stand down' by the Feds in 2019. It wasn’t until reading files this year that he realised the FBI sat on murder tips while claiming they had no 'probable cause' to search the ranch." bit.ly/4w4d0rN

On a crazy fucked up day filled with wins, setbacks and a DOJ that is utterly out of control, I cannot tell you how much your kind words and support matter. I will be writing about that for tomorrow morning. Sign up now for free to receive. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Palantir’s manifesto confirms our worst fears: the company running our surveillance state is fueled by dangerous prejudice. @wyden.senate.gov @velazquez.house.gov & I are demanding answers from DHS & ICE to reveal how this data is being used & on whom. There must be proper oversight of these tools.

Crazy how Fetterman had no history of buying stocks until he got elected to the Senate. And for someone with no stock trading experience, he's managed to do REALLY well with his investments there. One lucky dude, huh?

LANDSMAN: You've cut healthcare by nearly $1t & now you're gonna cut the EPA by 50%. ZELDIN: I hear from Americans across the country happy to get more back in their tax return LANDSMAN: You don't talk to folks. That really isn't true. Nobody is saying 'thank you' for cutting their healthcare

The people in this administration have to be the dumbest in the history of this country.
