I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

I think Twitter is down again.

We have lost mainstream media.

Murphy: "The president is continuing to act unconstitutionally. He shut down some of our most important programs that protect us abroad, like Radio Free Europe, that were funded & authorized in that spending bill. So it doesn't seem like we have restrained any of the president's lawlessness."

Step Down Schumer

It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets. Absolute insanity. While Americans are scared and in crisis mode, he’s basically saying, let them eat cake. @schumer.senate.gov Step Down.

I remember when Schumer refused to bring the Military Justice Improvement Act to the floor. It had 66 yes votes. I never got an answer as to why. They ended up watering it down and folding it into the NDAA.

@fetterman.senate.gov @johnfetterman.com What will your legacy be?

Never thought I’d be on the same side as hackers, but here we are.

Here, not sure if other states are doing the same

this entire article is an argument for dems to refuse to lift a single fucking finger to help republicans pass a dirty CR. if congressional republicans can go straight to musk to get relief for their districts but congressional democrats can't, then there's absolutely no reason to help, at all.

Elon’s rockets explode, Twitter crashes and his stock is imploding. But you won’t hear that on his website, it’s down globally. www.independent.co.uk/tech/x-down-...

Today is my first day at @thebulwark.bsky.social! Send tips to sommer -at- thebulwark.com or DM me here, newsletter coming soon.

Went to "X" for some schadenfreude over the plunge in Tesla stock and it seems X is doing about as well as Tesla and SpaceX. Masterful gambit, sir.

Hey, look at that--the Musk/Trump Administration really *IS* bringing prices down!

Harvard University announced a temporary hiring freeze Monday, citing “substantial financial uncertainties” as colleges and universities face widespread scrutiny of their federal funds by Trump. Last year, Harvard's endowment had $53.2 billion, so this is big. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

KNOXVILLE — @RepTimBurchett popping his head up. Maybe folks should go ask him why he voted to cut a trillion dollars out of Medicaid to pave the way for trillions in tax cuts for the rich, increasing the debt he pretends to care about (when he says he didn’t he is lying)

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

Translation: “I want a dynamic country that funnels your tax dollars to my rich friends.”

"Gelding" is a good description for Rubio.

US added to international watchlist for rapid decline in civic freedoms www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

That is the absolute truth! So horrible 🎯🎯

I despise this orange scumbag with the intensity of a thousand suns.

Dear President Zelensky, As it is likely that our paths will never cross in person, I could not let this day go by without trying to reach you here. I come to you humbly as an American citizen who is thoroughly and completely embarrassed of our leaders. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-preside...

Most disgusting thing I have ever seen from a president in my life…

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Message from a friend. His mom is a park ranger in rural Alaska

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

I really do feel like I’m losing my mind.

While the AP gets booted by Trump, here’s what we are again looking at right now in Tennessee as Speaker Sexton keeps only us out of his closed-door press conference As the rest of the media here says nothing, including the AP

Mitch McConnell voting no on terrible cabinet picks because he doesn’t have to run for reelection is all the proof you need that we must have term limits. You shouldn’t only have a spine because you don’t have to run again. We are breeding chicken shit power hungry electeds.

This is Senator Markwayne Mullin. He thinks sexual assault is "just 2 people flirting". (About Pete Hehseth, 45 nominee, sexual assault allegations) His number is 202-224-4721 Be sure and call him and explain the difference between flirting and sexual assault.

“If you are dumbfounded into inaction, if you don’t even want to hear the news, if you feel as though you’re living through a nightmare over which you have no control, I get it. Every other day I feel the same. But hear me out.” We can flood THEIR zone: robertreich.substack.com/p/the-petty-...

Our United Airlines pilot made sure to emphasize *Mexico* when he said we'd be flying over the Gulf of *Mexico* today. It's the little things. Microdose hope.

Rumors are flying that Musk and his DOGE dickheads have appeared at the Department of Veterans Affairs headquarters in DC. They are about to fuck 16 million veterans.

The FBI has a massive opportunity to be the hero of this American story.

NEW: DoJ employees asked for guarantees in writing for the deferred resignation Fork in the Road plan. They were sent this. It strips the signer of the right to sue, and also says if you commit a felony, you’re not eligible for federal employment. Oh, the irony.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Pritzker is stepping up! Newsom is stepping up too! Blue states! Hold the line! HOLD!

People are getting up off the mat.

Finally, we’re starting to see some fight. We need more of this 🔥 🚨Trump’s decision to shut down USAID has frozen critical work to deliver vital assistance around the globe, and put China in the driver’s seat.

NEW: Someone at IRS just told me they were informed that if they accepted the Fork in the Road deferred resignation, they'd still have to work through May 15th because it's filing season. So Musk lied. And what about filing season 2026? Are they just gonna cross that bridge when they come to it?

You are MEMBERS OF CONGRESS. If they threaten you with arrest for trying to access a site you are lawfully entitled to access, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING ARREST YOU. YOU MAKE THEM SLAP THE CUFFS ON A CONGRESSMAN LIVE ON TV, YOU MAKE THEM FUCKING DO IT.
