Cost of Trump's D.C. Occupation: $1.1M per day. Cost to operate public housing for D.C.'s entire homeless population: $169,226 per day. It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Why wouldn’t this be true anywhere? These warrantless “Ice agents” who are assaulting and kidnapping people should be arrested, charged and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Oklahoma’s schools are rated 49th of 50. Maybe they should focus their efforts elsewhere?
Russia wants the USSR back, which is the meaning of Lavrov’s shirt. Any questions?
Instead of taking over the DC Metropolitan Police at a time when crime in the capital is declining and is lower than it was during Trump's first term, wouldn't it just be easier to release the Epstein files?
On Epstein: AFTER reviewing the files, Bondi and Patel ordered agents to black out every mention of Trump. If Trump were mentioned in the files as simply an innocent bystander to Epstein's world, they'd want to release the files. Trump was presumably not simply an innocent bystander.
This. And using 10,000 words when 10 will do. Gotta learn that, too.
What a statesman.

I’m not sure whether I love this idea more because it’s imaginative or just very very funny!
We are dismantling American higher education & scientific research & health care & all the other things to fund concentration camps
3/ @rabihalameddine.bsky.social is a literary badass who also posts amazing threads of art and poetry and trust me you wont' be sorry. @sardonicus.eu: just amazing @pmondrian.bsky.social: sure the stuff you know. More interesting to me are his earlier works b/c what a change!

substack.com/@toshyou/not.... Facts are facts. This is truth!
This war is unnecessary, thoughtless, heartless evil.
I think it would be good to get some women in charge of the countries that have nuclear weapons. Women talk to each other. Women can be reasonable. Enough with the macho men and swinging dicks.
Or we can create one by interpretation. Or, must create one…
Professor, at this point Trump has done this and many other illegal things. What can we creatively but lawfully use in the Constitution to remove him? He is a danger to both our democracy and ourselves.
Trump promised to get prices down on day one of his presidency. I'm holding him to that claim. For month 5 prices for basic grocery items have increased 3.4% overall since Biden's last month as president. I've brought receipts via FRED - Federal Reserve Economic Data.
Remember when Donald Trump got caught with all sorts of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago after saying he didn't have anything, and then he got indicted but the judge slow walked the case to death? Yup. He did that.
Whoever designed these should be ashamed of themselves. (When offered such a commission any designer with a conscience must turn it down flat. ) Geez…
For all the shit talking people direct at Dems, they really are fighting this thing tooth and nail and they deserve a whole lot of credit
202-224-3121. Congressional Switchboard, they’ll connect you to your Members of Congress.
So is this an mRNA flu vaccine (as well as a covid mRNA vaccine?)
If it looks like a duck and waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck…and salutes like a duck…
Is anyone keeping a list of executive orders and other efforts that he is making that are illegal? Like, a spreadsheet so that everyone can keep track of all the violations of the Constitution and our laws?
In addition to healthcare, Canadians will be able to get dental care paid for by their taxes. Fancy that.
So impeach him.
Look, all I know is that if Joe Biden had clearly fallen asleep at the state funeral for a pope, it would have dominated media coverage for days and been covered by political media as a scandal detrimental to the reputation of our country.
In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...
In case you hadn't noticed:
The most concerning part about the DOGE / NLRB story is that the whistleblower claims a login attempt using VALID DOGE credentials was made from Russia shortly after DOGE started moving data.
Happy Birthday!
Only one of these men has a criminal conviction—and his name isn’t Kilmar Garcia!
Impeached and REMOVED. Finally. At long last.
Here’s the funny (ironic) thing: as Trump fakes “proof” of Abrego Garcia’s criminal history, Trump is actually a convicted criminal, felon, thief, rapist, money launderer, fraudster, member of the mafia, and Russian asset. edition.cnn.com/2025/04/19/p...
Good point. Worth repeating, over and over.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me
Where’s the evidence for your claim, AG Bondi? (And why is no journalist demanding basic information this in the WH press briefings?)
Vital.
Oh, I love this. Thanks, Jamie!
Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.
AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.
Well, an ignorant man with great power…
“Would be”?
Yeah. He cheats.
House Republicans voted to overturn the CFPB's cap on excessive overdraft fees — which was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The House also struck down CFPB oversight over payment apps run by Big Tech companies. The GOP is the party of letting you get ripped off.
I lost my sister in December. Her birthday in February was tough.
If it’s good enough for Martha Stewart, then it’s good enough for 47 and his gang.
I am so sorry, Jamie. ❤️
The stupidity is layered.
It’s so rare to be able to connect economic results to a single action. The president’s mass flinging of tariffs around the world is such a moment. The ability to change course lies with the GOP majority. Don’t give them a pass; all this damage is on them. apnews.com/article/trum...
what a visual
THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have developed an antiviral chewing gum that may help reduce the spread of viruses. In lab studies, it cut down viral loads of two herpes simplex viruses (HSV-1 and HSV-2) and two influenza A strains (H1N1 and H3N2) by more than 95%. 🧪🧵⬇️
Senator Booker, I am a constituent and was at a Hands Off protest. Please do another asap!
Hands Off. Concord, NH. Hundreds upon hundreds in the rain!
So we’re 75 days into trumps second term, people are protesting everywhere. Markets have had two days of absolutely apocalyptic losses. There are grad students being disappeared and a man with an autism awareness tattoo was sent to a super scary prison in El Salvador. They’ve cut cancer research..
The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest. It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.
More of these, everyone! Call your Members of Congress! 202-224-3121.
This constituent is grateful for your courage and tenacity. (I have been on touch and I’m so, so glad you are listening !) Keep it up, sir, we need you to keep the pressure on!
Shiny object. Signal chat debacle. Concentrate.
Unfair bank overdraft fees kick working Americans when they're down. Senate Republicans just voted to raise them.
Is this who we want to be?
And yet Joe Rogan puts guests on who say "Vaccines aren't actually responsible for the reduction in infectious diseases.”
Half of the United States has been slowly and carefully inculcated by Fox News to believe that the other half of the country is their enemy and out to ruin their lives. Once this was established, it didn't take long for those viewers to value hurting these other Americans over helping themselves.
Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.
Put in your zip code, find a protest and use your first amendment rights. “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech,…or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
Stay on this, Senator. And gather more Senators and Representatives to do it with you. Don’t stop until these people resign.
the larger issue: Rs are dangerously incompetent- on DOGE, on economy, on natl security. They don't care enough about America to get it remotely right.
You know if a DEMOCRAT did it, the GOP would be on for WEEKS. MONTHS. Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi…
18 USC 793 (f)Whoever, being entrusted with or having lawful possession of... information, relating to the national defense, through gross negligence permits the same to be... delivered to anyone in violation of his trust... Shall be fined... or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both

A wise person told me “If you could reason with them they wouldn’t be Trump supporters.” True, appealing to their self interest might work, but even that’s a steep hill to climb given the info ecosystem that’s feeding them. What can we do about THAT, Mark?

Oh, I know. Our daughter is living with us for a bit and we are very much enjoying having both her and her sweet, big fluffy dog Archie. All you need is love!
Absolutely true.
KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!
Absolutely. It’s past time. If we can still save this country
You are absolutely right!
Apparently he’s not that great of a player, BTW. Not strategic. (Someone close to me beat him. Although that person is very good. :-)
If anyone can save us, strong women will.
I miss him and his VP.
…with sound.
Wondering how many of his followers can afford a Tesla…or how many would like one?
They called him Sleepy Joe because we could sleep at night.
THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. 🧪🧵⬇️
This makes me so terribly sad.
This has been done time and again. There is no link! Here are just a few peer reviewed studies: www.acpjournals.org/doi/full/10.... www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... academic.oup.com/cid/article-...
Just got a measles booster the other day. Sigh…
Me, too. You, too?
FUN FACT.
…on us.
Can you quickly assemble a Shadow Cabinet to respond to what Trump/Musk are doing and tell the public what should be done instead?
