Who knows what the President meant when he said he loves the inflation - but it's clear that inflation keeps getting worse, while he stays focused on anything but the cost of living.

THANK YOU David Letterman & Stephen Colbert for a lifetime of smart satire, laughs, speaking truth to power & sending us to bed with a smile on our collective faces. You will be missed. 🙏 #EndOfAnEra

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social burns a confederate flag in the rotunda after the House passed 9-0 maps stripping Memphis of representation… #Memphis #JimCrow @MarshaBlackburn @GovBillLee

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

TRUMP: I'm not a rapist. I didn't rape anybody O'DONNELL: Oh, you think he was referring to you?

Ossoff is amazing- but I agree we need him in the senate

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028. I love serving the state of Georgia. Let's keep our eyes on the ball, folks. We need to win decisively in Georgia and every battleground state and every competitive US House district this fall."

Buttigieg: I’ll give the Turning Point folks a lot of strategic credit for going to a lot of different places. Going to these college campuses is kind of the equivalent, in their minds, of the way I feel when I go on Fox News. The difference is, when I go on Fox News, I’m telling the truth

I don't know if it's possible, but I do believe that Buttigieg would be a good President. As good as anyone we've had in a long, long time.

Pete Buttigieg hears concerns from north Tulsa leaders tulsaworld.com/news/state-r...

Maria’s description of her own interview turned out to be not very accurate

Xavier Becerra, at last night’s California Gov debate, answered a question about future opportunities for young folks to achieve success. Becerra made a great point. Traditional college isn’t the only path. Vocational training and apprenticeships don’t get talked about enough, and are underrated.

Donald Trump’s criticism of Pope Leo XIV reveals that to him, religion is primarily about power, not morality, @dgraham.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily:

We stand firmly against any calls for violence. Threats toward Pope Leo or any individual go against basic human dignity and the values of a civil society. There is no place for this anywhere.

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social is the first American I've heard articulate this reality with such clarity. As a Canadian, I can report it is 100% true. Thanks @hcrichardson.bsky.social for, once again, creating a clear and concise record of what is happening. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

They lost the vote, so they changed the rules. Dan Patrick’s DSHS just banned hemp through a backdoor agency ruling, overriding your voice. I won’t stand for it, and neither should you. As Lt. Governor, I will put the people back in charge. Watch this, join me at Goodwin4Texas.com #Goodwin4Texas

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.

CA Dems You don’t need to elect the billionaire guy! We have an excellent candidate in Rep Xavier Becerra Please RP this to Cali folks!

Time to donate to Xavier Becerra www.xavierbecerra2026.com

I like Xavier Becerra fine and I hope the Becerra caucus in my mentions succeeds in lighting the fire

BECERRA. FOR GOD'S SAKE, XAVIER BECERRA.

New published photo this morning from #ArtemisII, "Moonjoy" images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

Yesterday, the crew of the ISS called the crew of #Artemis2 and had a short conversation in between their busy schedules of research and documentation (I promise, to a scientist, that's more fun than it sounds!) This was the first ship-to-ship communications ever to take place in space. #NASA

The truth is that if democracy is to survive this era, we can no longer treat independent media as optional. It is essential, and we must do everything we can to help it thrive and grow — quickly. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

Garcia: I think that Trump has lost his mind. He's not capable of being the president and he should be removed using the 25th amendment immediately. I don't trust anything that that man or the people around him actually do. He has proven to be the most corrupt person to ever be president.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

Today, the Artemis II crew is making their flyby around the far side of the moon — 250,000 miles from home!

I served in Congress as a Republican. My own colleagues called me a warmonger for supporting accountability after Assad used chemical weapons on children. Those same people are silent tonight as Trump threatens to bomb a civilization back to the stone age. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

We won't last 33 more months of this. This must stop. We must make it stop.

An American President threatening to end a civilization is not just anti-American, it’s flat out crazy.

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

Whether it's Trump threatening a nuclear war on Truth Social or Hillary Clinton sharing risotto recipes by email, both leaders made controversial use of digital communication.

Targeting civilians would, in fact, be a war crime. This man is deranged, unstable, and unfit to lead. He thinks this is a game. Republicans need to find their backbone, rein him in, and end this reckless war before more innocent lives are lost and this escalates into something far worse.

The Boerne Area Democrats (BAD) welcome Vikki Goodwin as our April speaker! Vikki is currently serving her 4th term as a State Representative and is running for Lt. Governor of Texas. Thursday, April 9, at 11:30 a.m. at the Longhorn Cafe (upstairs). Everyone is welcome to attend.

Legitimate, Independent Media is so important right now.

NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Remember when the NYT started a massive campaign because the president was out of it during a debate?

Our bluebonnets, the state flower of Texas, endorse @vikkigoodwintx.bsky.social for Lt. Governor, as do we! 💙 Early voting for the runoffs is May 18-22. Election Day is Tuesday, May 26.

Rep. Vikki Goodwin is a four-term progressive fighter who has consistently put working Texans over corporate interests. Now she's in the runoff for Lt. Governor of Texas to deliver affordable housing, healthcare and more. Let's get both of these candidates over the finish line!

Most legacy media aim to give you both sides of what people are saying about voting rights. Democracy Docket's goal is to explain what's actually happening. Support and subscribe now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

MacFarlane: So this whole DHS funding standoff, this painful shutdown, which has exacted pain on workers and travelers, appears to be near its end...

That’s an excellent question.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

DOGE said it was cutting government waste. So they gutted USAID — the agency that feeds starving people around the world. Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
