Happy birthday, Satchmo!

It’s a shame that so many Republicans vote for something they know will hurt their constituents & the country simply because they are afraid that Trump will threaten them if they don’t go along with it, & they are more concerned about his vindictiveness than they are about them.

So, the Trump voters are all getting their houses in order for when grandma cones home got good, right? Right?

No Kings NOLA

Nobody does protest parades like New Orleans.

Holding up my hands and yelling "I'm not a Senator" when approached by a cop

Just throw it onto the pile of reasons (as detailed by @radleybalko.bsky.social) that Sen. Bill Cassidy should be shamed for the rest of his life for for his craven, tie-breaking vote in support of RFK Jr.

I never, ever want to hear another god damn word about state’s rights…

How can we host the Olympics and World Cup when Trump is now banning so many fans from other countries from attending? And would others even feel safe coming?

18 U.S. Code § 208 ... is the federal criminal conflict of interest law. It makes it a crime to participate in decisions in which you or close relations have a direct financial interest. Copious reporting indicates that Musk used the power of "DOGE" to assign numerous contracts to his companies.

Chicken's Kitchen is offering free food for the kiddos this summer.

What?!?! The EPA has drafted a plan to eliminate all pollution controls from coal and gas-fired power plants. The agency claims these plants “do not contribute significantly” to dangerous pollution or climate change, arguing their emissions are a small and declining share of global totals.

This is dictatorship- with the Supreme Court allowing illegal firings of federal employees in defiance of Congressional terms of office.

-$1.5T in new tax cuts predominantly for the rich -$700B in Medicaid cuts -$500B in Medicare cuts -$300B in SNAP cuts -Leasing public lands to Big Oil -Ending IRS Direct File -Ending clean energy tax credits -Banning AI regulation in the states The oligarchy's wish list.

Boyle: "This is really the breaking news ... because of the size of the deficits, because of the paygo act, that would trigger sequestration of Medicare, and it would total over $500 billion. The official figure that CBO confirms is $535 billion in cuts to Medicare."

Why do the Republicans hold important votes in the middle of the night? “The day is for honest men, the night for thieves.” -Euripides

After months of baseless claims about “extreme levels of fraud” within Social Security, Musk's DOGE has found only 2 likely fraudulent claims out of over 110,000—that makes it a rate of .0018%. So DOGE found virtually no fraud and made an integral American system less efficient.

BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.” No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time. And it’s coming to your city next.

RFK Jr. says he doesn't think people should be taking medical advice from him. A key part of his job as HHS Secretary is to communicate broad public health guidance and recommendations. Who else agrees that if he can't fulfill that responsibility, then he should resign? 🙋‍♀️

Everyday is worse than Watergate.

This is the ivermectin playbook - find a "cure," doctors object and deny people treatment with whatever snake oil, people blame that for measles deaths

Thousands of protesters have shown up to march and protest against Donald Trump in Chicago on May Day. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.

The professor at the Naval academy calling out an admiral. The judge in Wisconsin refusing to hold court. Greg in IT at Social Security forcing DOGE to literally drag him from his chair. American heroes showing true bravery while Senators shrug saying "what do you want us to do, we're scared"

Trump is using his vapid meme coin to take bribes in exchange for pardons and special treatment. He has made hundreds of millions of dollars this way, and his SEC is just . . . letting it happen. Just staggering open air corruption. www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-c...

HEY KID YOU WANT TO BE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

What???!

Trump just denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it “unwarranted.”

BREAKING: Women may no longer be able to vote if their birth certificates don't match married names. You know in The Handmaid's Tale when Gilead suddenly eliminates women's bank accounts in one fell swoop? That's what Republicans in Congress are doing to women's voting rights.

okay now that you all have gotten a taste of America's rational and predictable new trade policy, everyone who wants to build your new factories here just form an orderly line

Trump isn’t playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers. He’s playing golf while everyone else is going broke.

#HandsOff #NewOrleans

Today has been the single worst day for the market since… *checks notes* last time he was President.

He just stood in the middle of 5th ave and shot our economy.

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

If Joe Biden had promised to lower prices on day one and then flip-flopped and said pain was coming instead, the press would be asking him why he lied to the American people.
