Instead of “soft recession” how about something like “fiscal responsibility” on the state level?

it shouldn't be easier to get a gun in America than the covid vaccine
Did Putin thank the US??? I didn’t hear that part.
As I wish you a speedy recovery, I hope you take all the time you need to come back to work when you are ready. 🥰
He needs to explain who pays a tariff. Again. And again. And again.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.
The Pulitzer Prize for illustrated reporting and commentary goes to @anntelnaes.bsky.social, for various works that {ALMOST}appeared in The Washington Post.
This is perfect, and she is the head of the Education Department. This is the reason why they want to dissolve it. This way no one will critique her…. This is comical.
Very much appreciated. I’m hoping it’s not happening TO us but instead happening FOR us. This can’t ever happen again. Maybe we will eventually see FO after the fascists FA.

@monicalewinsky.bsky.social I love your podcast!!! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...
So EVERYONE will know!!!
Everyone has a take about the first 100 days of Donald Trump’s second term. We want to flag a statistic. According to the New York Times, federal judges have issued at least 123 rulings at least temporarily blocking his admin’s initiatives. www.allrisenews.com/p/trump-100-...
If you missed University of Michigan #Law Professor @leahlitman.bsky.social joining me for Substack Live tonight, We discussed today’s decision in the Alien Enemies Act case, the state of the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court, and Leah’s book @joycewhitevance.bsky.social
Dear god let this man cook.
This is who Trup wants to “unleash”: “‘We have seen, anecdotally ... a shocking number of wrong-house raids where the police just go to the wrong address," he [a lawyer] added.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...
1. Clay Jackson, a Texas lawyer, provided basic legal advice to an immigrant family fearing deportation Then, two officers visited him at his home, accusing him of "obstructing an ongoing immigration investigation" Then, after speaking publicly, he was fired from his job at a Fortune 500 company
Working hard or… ???
I know others have gone into detail throughout the day, but I just want to make sure I highlight how important Judge Paula Xinis's order from today in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's case is. It is about discovery — the evidence the gov't is to turn over — but her points are sharp and the context is key.
The convicted felon who has benefitted from due process his whole life wants to remove due process for everyone else.
People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position. (Published Dec. 2024)
They fought tooth & nail against this for years. Even had the #Zuck #Meta zombies parroting shit about their neighbors, whilst completely ignoring the PPP loans forgiven - in the multi-millions. Like with #MTG. But yeah, your neighbor who could pay their bills a bit more easily is the problem.
I love it when this happens! Especially when there were so many options of what the word could have started with Wordle 1,401 3/6 🟨⬛⬛⬛⬛ ⬛🟩⬛⬛⬛ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.
Saying it again: The @apnews.com could do a great public service by publishing these memos in full.
Check out this interview! www.muellershewrote.com/p/a-fork-in-...
With all the other fu€kery, I wouldn’t be surprised if they are skimming the fractions of pennies off of calculations of payments to people.
When they scream “efficiency“ and “transparency”, the opposite is true. They act like hackers and don’t answer questions.
Highly disturbing story about DOGE but this detail is particularly chilling www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
His explanation tracks
It would be good to know from what list they used that had your name on it! (Listening to the @openargs.bsky.social podcast now (episode OA1150)!!!
One lesson I learned fighting for justice for Jamal Khashoggi after his murder — make tyranny costly. Create friction. Find allies and gum up the gears.
I knew Trump’s EO’s sounded Bill of Attainder-y!! “How could a president alone have the authority to issue by executive order what would be unconstitutional if enacted with his signature and congressional approval?” www.justsecurity.org/110109/presi...
I concur.
If Stuebe was really pissed, he would have written a letter of rebuke
There’s a lot of emotion I’m feeling behind that expression
“McDonalds workers in Denmark make more than Honda workers in Alabama” is such a key point. It’s the institutions, stupid.
And there we have it
And here's my piece explaining how budget reconciliation works. The key point from above is that they're getting around the rule against long-term deficits and the rule about staying within your committee instructions. www.americanprogress.org/article/how-...
Here's my piece from last week explaining how Republicans are ignoring the Senate rules to cut taxes for the rich and take away health care from the needy and food from the hungry. www.americanprogress.org/article/sena...
Their accusations are confessions

Can we get more of this? “The Japanese American National Museum will ‘scrub nothing,’ Fujioka said, and instead will highlight the importance of DEI. “Our community is based on diversity, equity is guaranteed to us in the Constitution, and inclusion is what we believe in,” Fujioka said.

“In the end” is where America is taking it.
If tariffs make America money and are good for us, why would he cut tariffs in half???
Very efficient! Nothing wrong with AI

#PINO just found out this doctor wasn’t wearing a suit
This is stuff the current regime doesn’t want anyone to know
“It was as if the detainees’ lives were worthless,” another said. The flight attendants who spoke with ProPublica believed those lives were not worthless. That, many of them told me, is why they no longer fly for ICE Air. It’s also why they decided to share their stories: tinyurl.com/bdz5dc5f 10/
Luigi should declare his run for President 2028 amd it all goes away.
The hug at the end is priceless!
Too cool not to repost

Some great deals to be had for beginners (like me) to seasoned stargazers!
Thank you SO MUCH!!! I just bought the Celestron PowerSeeker 127EQ using your link. I’ve been frustrated with a used Bushnell telescope via thrift. Could be user error, missing parts, etc., as I really have no idea what I’m doing. Next stop, the moon and beyond!
As great as your peeps are on @strictscrutiny.bsky.social , the show is not the same without you

If they don’t identify themselves, we should be able to defend ourselves
Just like #PINO. Thanks for nothing #SCrOTUS
God bless that man 🙏🏻 (On Tyrany by Timothy Snyder)
I wish he was in Congress! We need that attitude!
We need to ask ourselves: How can we not act like this man? How can we sit idly by and let these monstrous injustices continue to occur? Who is going to help us if we don't help ourselves and our brothers and sisters?
Great point! And thank you!
