Senate Republicans just started a marathon voting session known as vote-a-rama in the Senate. Not to improve your life. Not to lower your costs. But to funnel $70 billion more to ICE and the abuses I saw at Delaney Hall. Not another dime.

The advantage of using @standupforscience.net, as opposed to going straight to the site (which may be flagged as closed for some) is that we keep a record of every transaction including time submitted/accepted and the full content. 2/3

WHY WOULD ANYONE FRAUDULENTLY PURCHASE HEALTH INSURANCE????? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT???

Men who worship Trump, a man who wears liquid foundation, is *obsessed* with ballrooms, dances to gay anthems from the ‘70s, plays music from Broadway musicals, talks fondly about Arnold Palmer’s enormous penis, and gushes about how hot Jaxson Dart is, are questioning James Talarico’s sexuality?

All eyes on Maine. More reasons I’m glad not to be living there this cycle, but , Dems, we gotta do better.

🧵 Public science in the US has taken some heavy hits over the last year, but the White House OMB is proposing a series of changes that will result in a TKO for science as we know it unless we fight back. Here's what's happening, and why it matters. 1/n

When people ask for shipping supplies recommendations I do not hesitate to link refuseuline.com Quite literally I just reference this, there are so many options that are better and not evil.

Do not let the White House convince you that they are dictating what happens for the 250th. They're doing a bunch of stuff, but it's all fleeting spectacle. There is genuine, thoughtful, history-focused programming happening all over the United States. Get offline and go find it.

Long thread, and totally worth the read.

Must be nice

Once again, inevitable question: if this is what they’re doing to Senator Kim in front of cameras, what are they doing to the detained people inside that facility bsky.app/profile/davi...

Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Fun fact: North Carolina still hasn’t recovered from hurricane Helene, and Trump wants $2 billion to give people who smeared shit on the walls of the Capitol.

📌We are but one serious virus away from a catastrophe, and not near enough is being made about the fact that a former heroin addict and anti-vaxxer, who has ZERO training in medicine, academia, or scientific research would be leading the response. IT IS ABSURD.

It’s cool how the most powerful person in the country is a decomposing 79-year-old

Fetterman wants you to think he's a tough guy with the hoodies and scowl, but apparently you just have to be nice, invite him to lunch, and you can lead him around by the nose. PA deserves a senator with a spine, a moral compass, and actual friends of his own. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Times have been worse than they are today in the U.S. Important to remember not because some people aren't living under terrible conditions right now but because it shows that things can in fact change for the better. They change if we change them.

Sometimes the simplest analysis is truest. Excellent piece on this regime of pure hatred and disdain.

1. More thoughts on the failed attack on the White House Correspondents Dinner. • The president told 60 Minutes that the Secret Service told him to get down. However, video evidence shows that Donald Trump fell.

Of course it would be Fetterman.

So powerful journalists, lobbyists, politicians hid, ran, pressed against walls. Secret Service & protocols activated. Then all went home. The daily reality of children, teachers & parents? They don't get protocols or security detail. And not all go home. It's the GUNS. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I'd love to see someone like @davidhogg.bsky.social make the point many of us are: What WHPC went through last night only begins to approximate what school kids across the US experience far too frequently. Thus far, this is being treated exclusively as a Trump thing, not a gun violence thing.

Many of the politicians who were in that room running scared tonight have devoted much of their lives to ensuring gun violence and the fear of it is a part of every day life for the rest of us.

The best way to be accurately informed about tonight’s events is to log off for the next 12 hours or so … and I’m going to follow my own advice

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

To RFK Jr. and all the anti-vaxxers: this is your handiwork. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/o...

My Senator, Dave McCormick, is apparently an awesome judge of character. Are you sure you and Kash Patel were out there FIGHTING fentanyl, Dave? Is this why you never answer your phone, either?

“Part of me is glad he’s wasting his time on bullshit, because it’s less dangerous for rule of law, for the American public,” one official told me, “but it also means we don’t have a real functioning FBI director.”

This tax filing season, Donald Trump rigged the system for his billionaire buddies and against hard-working Americans. While he made it easier for his wealthy friends to cheat the system, he killed the program that allowed Americans to file their taxes for free.

I am begging people: for the love of god, stop sharing "news updates" from Polymarket. They're a slop org. They share bullshit for engagement. Don't spread their misinfo.

Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started. Just. Tax. Them.

Dire, all of it. And this: "A whole sector of mainstream media now functions as spirit mediums attempting to interpret Trump’s actions to try to fit them into the context of competent leadership and coherent and consistent agendas." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Paying more at the pump, PA? Our senior senator, John Fetterman, thinks it’s just a media hoax, bringing new meaning to “gaslighting.” www.pennlive.com/politics/202...

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor and still, they threw him out and you know what? they did it by voting don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

A reminder that this is the President of the United States, who spent last night attending a UFC fight while Iran controlled the Strait of Hormuz and his Vice President and some buddies were in Pakistan trying to find the diplomatic equivalent of Super Glue to fix what his war shattered.

"Every Major U.S. Airline Has Now Raised Baggage Fees to Cover Surging Fuel Prices" As you pay increased bag fees please make sure to thank the GOP for their Iran war. This is 100% because of them! people.com/us-airlines-...

The "duped voter" narrative is a comforting myth. If only we had better messaging. The reality is tens of millions of voters looked at a platform of mass deportation, ethnic cleansing, state violence, and the dismantling of civil rights, clearly understood it, and said, "Yes, that is what I want."

We’re all clear that this absurd two week excuse doesn’t mean we forget about impeaching the rotten orange bastard, amirite? Or are we gonna let this happen again and again? Because it will, you know.

What we fail to say is also a message. Not calling for Trump's impeachment and removal conveys he has not committed offenses that warrant these actions. Or, at best, that you feel he has and are unwilling to do your duty and use the remedy written into our Constitution for presidential crimes.

I am glad he did not commit yet another atrocity, but the fact that no congressional Rs spoke up or opposed him is fucking bleak.

Two weeks to remove him. Now.

Great, we get a breather. Remove him immediately.

No one who loves violence this much should ever be in charge of the military

Sorry, America, but as a democracy we own the actions of our leader. We may despise Trump. But his actions are on us, will be associated with us by history and the world. Our democratic and institutional failures have put a genocidal monster on the world stage.

The US National Archives opened up Nazi party member cards and @zeit.de made them searchable so German families can examine their heritage. MAGA be aware: Your descendants will ask what you did in fascist America. They will judge you. www.zeit.de/wissen/2026-...

The next administration is going to have a hell of a time attempting denazification throughout the federal bureaucracy, especially the security services. Distinguishing yourself for refusing illegal orders is a rocket ticket to the top.

Find out tonight in prime time. This psychopath would run a trailer if he could.

US on verge of massive catastrophic war crimes. This is devastating, terrifying

If a student asked how we got here and what's the way out, I think that's where I end up. I don't always think leaders, or Trump, change the course of history. But here, we are at the mercy of Trump and his team of yespeople in a war that may harm millions globally. That's why I'm scared. 13/

An opposition party would not be on vacation right now. They would have coordinated message to the public about the fact that a President in cognitive decline is threatening more war crimes. They would be BLASTING the message on all available platforms.
