Hi y’all! Haven’t been here in a while. Trying to cut down on my social media usage. Lemme give you a little update on my life…

Breaking @propublica.org: Bukele of El Salvador has become one of Trump’s favorite authoritarians, and Trump touts him as a foe of MS-13. But a US investigation has found evidence he has colluded with the gang, even paying it for votes. www.propublica.org/article/buke...

Out of the 109 DOGE staffers we've identified: • At least 38 currently work/have worked for businesses run by Musk • At least 23 are making cuts at agencies that regulate the industries that employed them • At least 12 remain, on paper, employees/advisors of the companies they worked at before DOGE

MAYOR BARAKA: “@AlinaHabba wasn’t there. I didn’t break any laws.”

Word is Attorney General Pam Bondi is seeking records and testimony from journalists. Please be mindful of how you communicate use secure formats, follow established guidance, and above all, protect your identity at all costs.

My great uncle was lynched after coming home from WWI because he went to town & wanted a drink and they refused to serve him— a VET who just fought for this country After missing for hours my granddaddy found him hanging from a tree THATS why I protect my peace Every time I shine it’s for THEM

A #Khive family is in need, you guys. Karly’s daughter has been struggling with mental health for years, and recently made an attempt. She’s helped so many in need, lets rally for her family. Any little bit will go a long way. www.gofundme.com/f/donate-for...

As I was saying. Who in the world will take such a country seriously as a partner, ally, or even enemy? If we present ourselves as a joke, should we be surprised if other countries treat us as one? bsky.app/profile/joyc...

Now that Trump has openly admitted he could bring back Abrego Garcia whenever he wants, his lawyer tells me he will use discovery to determine which officials are advising Trump to defy the Supreme Court. New piece from me with lots of fresh reporting on this case: newrepublic.com/article/1948...

Hi! I’m still alive! Life update: -I got an A in my first law school class but imposter syndrome is still kicking my ass. -I am in the 150s for the first time in about 20 years. -Hubs’s position is being eliminated but we’ve got some balls in the air.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

22 weeks apart.

Strom Thurmond and Elon both taking an L on the same day is a hell of a white supremacy bankshot

While folk are celebrating Sen Cory Booker for beating that racist Strom Thurmond racist anti civil rights filibuster…. I don’t want it forgotten that racist Strom Thurmond was also making babies with his Black nanny.

If anyone has one got damned negative thing to say about Cory Booker, this Jersey girl will fight you.

Sen. Jim Banks told a laid off U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) employee who approached him that they “probably deserved it” and they “seem like a clown.”

SENATOR Cory Booker has made 22 hours. Dear God, please continue him through. Dear ancestors, please hold him up! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Still waiting for Bernie Sanders to do what Cory Booker did & is doing. That is called “fighting for us.”

BREAKING: Appeals court rejects the Trump administration's request to immediately enforce its anti-trans military ban. The Ninth Circuit panel just denied DOJ's request for an administrative stay of last week's ruling agains the ban. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The National Treasury Employees union has filed suit against the Trump admin in federal court over Trump's order eliminating collective bargaining rights for most of the federal workforce.

Obama tried to used withholding Medicaid funds as a cudgel to get states to expand coverage and SCOTUS struck it down for this exact reason.

BREAKING: Trump signs an executive order attempting to make changes to U.S. election procedures and threatens funding cuts to states that do not comply. The order is likely to be swiftly challenged in court by voting rights groups.

Here's a quick summary of DOJ's position in the AEA case: 1) We're not going to tell you who we've detained, 2) we're not going to tell you where they are detained, 3) we're not going to tell you why they're detained, 4) you should've filed habeas wherever they are, 5) whoops they're gone, too late.

Reading the Obamacare SCOTUS case for class. Man, Roberts shits on RBG all over this decision, even when he agrees with her.

VP Harris was saying the same things AOC and Bernie are saying during her campaign rallies—the only difference is she wasn’t a white man or white-adjacent.

Ralphie from A Christmas Story was the spokesperson for the Young Astronauts Program and saw the Challenger explosion in person. Wild.

Color me surprised…

Kaufmann: DOGE claims to have found Social Security loans going to 11 year olds and under. It's a survivor benefit annuity to young children whose parents have passed. That's the problem billionaires without a clue doing a job they don't understand

Six Voice of America journalists and a director at its parent agency have sued the Trump administration, alleging its moves to shut down the U.S.-funded network are unconstitutional. By @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social

Trump just revoked my security clearance… one small problem: I haven’t had one in years. 😂 This isn’t about security—it’s about his fragile ego and petty revenge. My latest piece on Trump’s obsession with punishing his critics adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trumps-lat...

There is a couple two rows in front of me that is engaging in some serious PDA. They are not young. It’s bizarre.

He’s a fucking child.

Trump is using your tax money to strongarm his critics. It’s what dictators do.

What is happening to Columbia is the beginning of what happened to the Central European University in Budapest, which ultimately led to them forced to leave Hungary, so no one in Hungary can teach critically on Gender Studies, Jewish History, Romani History in Hungary. We are going the Orbán route.

Oh Lord the Bernie Bros are here yelling at Sen. Kim about the Democratic Party. It’s YOUR fault we’re here.

“Ceasefire Now” people are protesting this town hall. 🙄

Weingarten: You know what’s going on. Once they close an office so that people can't get to the farther office, fewer people get the benefit

Medical emergency at the town hall. Someone passed out. Sen. Kim’s staff and the senator himself are great.

Paul Weiss agreed to "dedicate" pro bono services to the "President's Task Force to Combat Antisemitism. The head of that "Task Force" is an antisemite.

@kim.senate.gov: “Liberal” judges have ruled against Trump 84% of the time. “Centrists” 86% “Conservative” 82%

At a town hall with @kim.senate.gov in deep red Ocean County, NJ.

HMMM: So the administration reveals in a new court filing (ordered by Judge Bates) that Amy Gleason was actually hired by HHS as an "expert/consultant" on March 4, just a few days after the White House identified her as the administrator of DOGE.

This is Donald Trump’s plan (in writing!) to take away YOUR Social Security benefits. It’s devious, harmful, and straight up un-American. And we must all rally to stop it.

Trans woman dentist at this town hall: “These EOs seek to solve problems that do not exist.”

Don't just doomscroll the headline -- read @jessicavalenti.bsky.social's post so you won't be fooled by the deluge of mis- and disinformation to come. jessica.substack.com/p/breaking-t...

Ugh now a guy that ran against Van Drew is shitting on the Democrats in Congress, including Schumer. Sir, you are sitting next to THEE Bonnie Watson-Coleman.

"In November McGregor was ordered by an Irish civil court to pay nearly €250,000 (£210,000) in damages to a woman who said he “brutally raped and battered” her in a hotel in Dublin in 2018." Naturally, the White House considered him an appropriate guest.

GlobalX 6122 took off from Texas at 7:37 pm (eastern time). Judge's written orders were posted to PACER at 7:26 pm. 11 minutes BEFORE the flight took off. This contradicts the White House's statement that the plane was already outside the USA.
