Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Republicans say they’re “pro-life.” They lie.

So trump has an anonymous donor "friend" giving $130 million dollars to pay the military their next paycheck while the government is shut down. You know HIS shut down. Watch @kendallyb.bsky.social explain just how dangerous of a situation this is. Who's the donor? We all want to know

I will also say while I’m at it, that for every argument that you can make for the need to have new / younger / different reps, you can and should dissect how those arguments are ableist and ageist. I’d rather hear how “X” elected is disconnected than trotting out their age like they’re disposable.

Today, House Republicans will take their 70th day off with pay in the last 82 days.

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

wow

"The US, months before its 250th bday as the world’s leading democracy, has tipped into authoritarianism & fascism. In the end... it did happen here.The moment when & where America crossed that invisible line will be debated by future historians. ...the line itself has been crossed."

In 2025, institutions with money and power are complicit little cowards while everyday people are unimaginably brave Columbia bends the knee. A random LA principal blocks ICE from coming into his school Paramount cancels shows. A Bronx baseball coach tells ICE agents to fuck themselves

When a man sexually assaulted two 15 year old girls, Brad Schimel gave him a cushy plea deal, and then blamed the victims. This misogynistic scumbag can’t be let anywhere near a seat on SCOWIS. Do your thing Wisconsin. Vote Susan Crawford on April 1st. 🤘

How much of Congress’ 6.5 billion for operations will be cut?

All the folks who exited NBC today. Seen together, hoo boy. Message received.

I said it before and I’ll say it again… @maddow.msnbc.com @meidastouch.com and @mcuban.bsky.social should join forces and start a new network. Now is the time. What are y’all waiting for?

With the all the attacks on our community I thought I’d post this again. Might save a life.

If i were NATO chief, i would immediately include membership for Ukraine. In my lifetime, there has been no voice or country that has taken stronger or more valid stance for democratic values than Ukraine led by President Zelensky

They say “stay in your lane.” Well, medicine is my lane. Doctors need to start speaking out against the attack on evidence-based medicine. It’s always been hard enough competing with Dr. Google but if we lose the independence of the CDC, NIH and FDA, lives will be lost.

I'm in. You?

How much is Congress cutting from their $6.5 billion/year budget? Don’t you think congress can operate on say, maybe, $5 Billion? And each congressman has 18 staff, they could operate on say, 14? What about the White House?

SHAMEFUL 🤬🤬🤬

Last night @60minutes.bsky.social opened an otherwise superb segment on Germany’s approach to online hate speech by saying “in the U.S., most of what’s said on online [social media] platforms is protected by the First Amendment.” No.The First Amend protects us against GOVT infringements on speech.

This week there’s a vote on the SAVE Act. For married women, if you don’t have a birth certificate or passport that matches your married name, you may be unable to vote. Educate yourself, then call your MOCs & tell to vote NO. 202-224-3121 shorturl.at/MSKIl

The new Macklemore video everyone’s talking about. You might think it’s about Palestine, but it’s bigger than that. It’s about social media controlling what we see, hear, and think. It’s a call to action. Whew… “fucked up.” youtu.be/sn9EKC9nqU4?...

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Cuts to low income health care, tax cuts for multinational corporations Cuts to food assistance, tax cuts for estates over $14 MILLION Cuts to Ed grants & school lunches, tax breaks for businesses buying equipment The Trump agenda is a transfer of wealth from bottom to top

Hey @washingtonpost.com you say your new Kash Patel story has "not previously been reported." Wrong, we at @motherjones.com scooped you and had this out earlier today. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... Feel free to correct.
