“Some FAA personnel have been implicitly threatened with having their lives ruined by potential criminal charges from the Trump Justice Department if they blab about Project Lift, according to a person familiar with the situation…

Protests with competing cute signs do NOT cut it. Nationwide strikes could.

OK, do we have to stop drinking milk, now, too? What a sh*tshow. www.emergencyemail.org/newsemergenc...

This is seriously not good. We don't need any more canaries in the coal mine. The signs are everywhere and conclusive. It's no longer a "creeping autocracy". Trump's autocracy is HERE. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/b...

Speaking now from El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia by El Salvador leaders. And was denied a phone call to him. Van Hollen: "The Trump Administration is lying about Abrego Garcia"

Trump is eliminating (i.e. "sunsetting") nearly every single environmental and conservation regulation in the United States. The US will become a toxic dump and a barren wasteland. This destructive, truly insane move will firmly render the US beyond repair. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

I’ve just posted this video message to members of the DC Bar, urging them to vote *AGAINST* AG Pam Bondi’s brother to be its next president. Please pass this on to anyone who is eligible to vote. www.instagram.com/reel/DIcQFxt...

It's here.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

In case anyone needs a reminder, it is Hamas that has turned Gazan hospitals into military targets. Ahmed wrote about a message he received in early 2024. You know who isn't paying attention? I'll give you three guesses. www.facebook.com/share/p/1654...

I think we're all trying to grapple with what happened today in the Oval Office, when Trump publicly defied SCOTUS. And it didn't stop there; he openly declared he'd send AMERICAN CITIZENS to an El Salvadoran gulag, never to be returned...or found. If you're not grappling, you need to start. NOW.

Couldn't have said it better myself, Rachel! talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

I'm sorry, this is beyond stupid and dangerous. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

🧵 Do Not let Trump rewrite history by denying the evil atrocities of the Holocaust. Hitler, in a 1939 speech, prophesied the "annihilation of the Jewish race in Europe." In the years that followed, he proceeded to boycott and shutter Jewish businesses, imprison and torture Jewish academics...

Oy vey. HAHA.

Trump is out to usurp and decimate all of our cultural activities and institutions. This is classic authoritarianism. Get ready to be forced to read and memorize the MAGA Little Orange Book as our only accepted source of culture.

Instead of attending a ceremony honoring 4 fallen American soldiers, Donald Trump chose to attend a LIV Golf dinner reception financed by the sovereign wealth fund of Saudi Arabia.

Trump and DOGE just told you to pound sand if you have now or will have any environmentally-related health issues.

🚨🚨Calling all North Carolina voters!! Here is a list of every voter that Jefferson Griffin is trying to disenfranchise, please if you are a NC voter check to see if your name is on here, you have 15 days to cure your ballot to make sure your vote counts. thegriffinlist.com/assets/griff...

Disastrous. This makes me want to cry. Again.

What stage capitalism is this?

“It’s worse now to be a U.S. ally than to be an adversary. As an adversary, at least you know what you’re getting,” Thitinan said. “To be an ally and then be treated like an adversary … that is not expected; it’s not nice.” www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

Yet another sloppy, reckless sign of incompetence by a national security team with no respect for our nation’s most sensitive intelligence. How is Mike Waltz still serving? He must be fired or resign. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

Some data worth pondering as the conversation shifts to "reciprocal" tariffs.

On the fascist scale of one to 10, this is at 11.

Waltz and his staff used GMAIL to conduct all sorts of government business. Reminder: This incompetent buffoon is...wait for it...the NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR of the US. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

"If America hasn't broken your heart, you don't love her enough" - Cory Booker

Democratic House Rep. Jamie Raskin goes off on Republicans for waging a war on federal judges because they dislike their rulings and their minions who are threatening the judges and their family members. Go Jamie! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com: "Mr Taibbi said when he was first searching through the so-called Twitter files he didn't know what he was looking at. Well, he still doesn't. Everything looks like a conspiracy when you don't know how anything works."

Sen @booker.senate.gov is still going. Support him! WATCH! Call your Senator & tell them you agree with Booker. This has gone far enough. 202-224-3121 www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Sweeping tariffs are expected to raise the cost of cars, electronics, metals, lumber, pharmaceuticals and other products from overseas. But President Trump and his advisers are betting that it can sell an inflation-weary public on a provocative idea: Cheap stuff is not the American dream.

The GOP knows the SAVE Act is a much easier way to disenfranchise millions of women instead of having to deal with rescinding the 19th Amendment.

This is just WRONG. Instead of taking hatchet jobs to these unresponsive university administrations, someone with aplomb should sit down and seriously dialogue with them. Yes, antisemitism is rampant and must be addressed. But yanking funding is counterproductive. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/u...

Are Hegseth, Waltz and Gabbard fired yet? Every minute they subsist in their current positions is a dangerous day for the USA.

Signalgate

At Tesla Takedown protests in Michigan hundreds of people gathered to voice their concerns about the new administration.

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.

“However, it has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies,” Marks wrote. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Sean Duffy and Dumpster Fire regime are out to kill us.

A remarkable statement in a judgment against US government. Rare to see a government defence described in such stark terms by a judge. This is judicial comment turned up to 11, so to speak.

I wonder if everyone knows that Hegseth has sent a bunch of our B-2 bombers to Diego Garcia. And understands what that means.
