Imagine that.

Senate Republicans have just added $1 billion for Trump's ballroom in their latest budget bill. This is despite Trump repeatedly claiming no taxpayer money would be spent on the project.

Republicans definitively believe in evolution. "The new ballroom won't cost the taxpayers anything." "The ballroom will only cost 200 million." "The ballroom will only cost 400 million." "The ballroom will cost taxpayers 1 BILLION."

⚡️ HAPPENING NOW — “THE DISTRICTS MAY NOT BE CHANGED BETWEEN APPORTIONMENTS….” Tennesseans are reading the law Republicans are breaking to steal representation from Memphis out loud before rules committee

Marjorie Taylor Greene just revealed she has text messages from Trump that could get her “put in jail” if she releases them. “Donald Trump texted me that if my son gets killed, I deserve it because I was a traitor to him. I’d probably get put in jail if I released the texts. That’s our president.”

Republicans want a billion dollars for the ballroom now. That’s your money.

This is embarrassing for the United States. All the Republicans who screeched about Obama’s red line in Syria are just watching US forces - and our allies - get attacked like 🤷‍♂️

Radical judges tried to rip mifepristone away from women in America. SCOTUS paused that ruling—and I just led every Senate Democrat in an amicus brief making the case the science already made: mifepristone is safe & effective. Extremists shouldn't decide how we get our medicine.

FYI - thank you @huffpost.com www.huffpost.com/entry/mifepr...

Enten on CNN's new poll of polls: "The lowest net approval ratings ever for the president. Trump was 24 points under water in August 2018. He is now 25 points underwater."

Posting this every goddamn day!!!!

holy shit learn how to be journalists again, i beg you

Spirit Airlines CEO Dave Davis refuted the Trump administration's entire narrative before Duffy and Bessent even finished their spin cycle, making clear that spiking fuel costs from trump's war with Iran were what actually killed the airline, not anything Biden did.

Lauren Groh-Wargo, CEO of Fair Fight Action, to @weareufd.bsky.social: "This is not just a southern fight. They are coming for the Black and brown majority districts in blue states. They are coming for our power everywhere ... we have to fight back hard now."

Good morning Everyone Today is PRIMARY DAY IN OHIO AND INDIANA Ohio Vote Sherrod Brown VOTE BLUE DOWN BALLOT Indiana VOTE DEMOCRATS Don't let Trump steal your voting maps ..He tried once and failed Don't let him try again See below for information Democrats when we VOTE WE WIN

Gary Chambers to @weareufd.bsky.social: "The very core of this is undemocratic and un-American, to tax Black people in Louisiana and then deny us representation is the very premise of robbing us of our ability to be full citizens in this country"

It’s primary day in Indiana and Ohio! Have you voted?

Rep. Buddy Carter calls for Georgia officials to toss out already cast votes: "We need to suspend the House races and go ahead and redistrict so that Georgians would be represented in the next two years by people who represent their values. Georgia is a Republican state. We need to remember that."

Looks like foreigners don't want to risk being imprisoned by ICE just for a chance to see a soccer game.

Interesting. This must be a new kind of chess where you compete to put the pieces back where they were before you smacked them off the board.

Why do Republicans now want TAXPAYERS to pay $1 billion for Trump’s ballroom? 😡

A reminder when you’re at the polls in Indiana and Ohio today: Gas has gone up $.87 in a month in Indiana thanks to Trump and Republicans who won’t stop his war in Iran. Gas is up $1.09 in the past month in Ohio because of Donald and Republicans not stopping his war in Iran.

Trump’s support is absolutely cratering!

May we one day have a Secretary of Defense who is not all hepped-up on "death and destruction" and is not driven by rage, arrogance and ignorance.

Every single one.

A win! Dr.Jenna Norton, the NIH program director who helped organize the Bethesda Declaration (a letter signed by nearly 500 NIH employees criticizing the dismantling of medical research) has been reinstated after months on paid leave.

NEW: In a brief filed with SCOTUS, civil rights groups contend that under the court’s own history of applying “the Purcell principle,” it is too late into the election season to suspend it. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Former Rep. Elaine Luria (D-VA), who is running to regain her seat in US House, says she's optimistic: She says history will tell an accurate story of the 2020 election. Trump's lies won't prevail

Everything. All of it. We tried to tell you. 🙄 It's been slowed down the past 6-8 months by lawsuits and courts, but they still have 991 days left. They've gotten 53% completed already. You can track Project 2025 here: www.project2025.observer/en

NEW POLL: 66% of Americans want off this train. The other 33% includes Republicans in Congress with no spine.

Accountability doesn't exist in fragments, & justice doesn't come from silence. Keep talking about the #EpsteinFiles. Keep talking about the #EpsteinFiles. Keep talking about the #EpsteinFiles. Keep talking.

We fought. We won. Others can too. www.mediamatters.org/angelo-carus...

Wow

Which is the backwards country now, United States?

📌Congratulations to Julie K. Brown, who won a much-deserved Pulitzer today for her Epstein reporting. 📌Absolute scorn to law enforcement and Congress for continuing to protect the sick jackals like Trump who preyed on little girls and women.

Congrats to Julie K. Brown! She was awarded a #Pulitzer Prize special citation today for her groundbreaking reporting in 2017 & 2018 for the Miami Herald exposing Jeffrey Epstein's systematic abuse of young women and the justice system & powerful network of associates that protected him for years.

Fox is regime propaganda poison

I love when a plan comes together! As this episode aired, @repjohnnyo.bsky.social introduced a bill for 18 year Supreme Court term limits. @dgcomedy.bsky.social and I explain the how and the why. youtu.be/pzHQ0bEdxTo?...

White supremacy and misogyny are baked into the American experiment. The gutting of the Voting Rights Act is abhorrent. Also, James Baldwin is one of the greatest authors ever—I’ll die on that hill. Sit with this #CupOfJoe and read.

Get ready. As the Iran War spirals out of control, Trump is going to get more desperate. The new attacks on ABC for airing criticism of Trump is a sign of what’s the come. We cannot shrug it off as “Trump being Trump”. He’s trying to build a censorship state - plain and simple.

Today, we announced $270 million of new military support to Ukraine. Ukraine’s fight is our fight. Their cause — freedom, democracy, sovereignty — is our cause. Good to see President Zelenskyy today in Yerevan. 🇨🇦🇺🇦

What would a typical worker earn today if their wages had grown as fast as CEO pay over the past 50 years? Take a guess and watch this video to find out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lPPsrAMtTI

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

When I learned what Samuel Alito and the other Republican appointees to the Supreme Court did to the Voting Rights Act, I thought of my friend Mickey Schwerner. He and countless others sacrificed their lives fighting for the VRA. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sam-alito-and-my-friend-mickey

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

The May 9 parade in Moscow is still a few days away, yet Putin is already a laughingstock -including within Russia itself - &the 2026 parade has already turned into a symbol of failure for Russia: • Air defense systems pulled in from across the country; • No heavy equipment or aviation on display;

This Iran drone attack comes after the UAE chose to leave OPEC, expand oil production, and ally even more closely with the US and Israel.
