Trump is undoing years of work to bring manufacturing back to America.
Lisa Murkowski voted for this.
The damage Republicans have done to the US scientific enterprise is incalculable. And Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, and Lisa Murkowski bear blame for this. They voted to confirm RFK Jr and Bhattacharya and the Trump anti-science nominees. Itâs not just Trump: the quisling Râs in Congress helped.
That got us wondering: How would those governors feel if National Guard troops from other states were ordered onto their streets, perhaps to patrol one of the 53 cities in those states with a higher murder rate than Washingtonâs? So, we asked them. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...
Oh, heâs such a charmer.

WaitâŠI thought tariffs were taxes other countries paid. Weird.
The epitome of naivety is voting for an adjudicated rapist, thinking he is going to allow his Attorney General to tell on another rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, who was his good friend. Gurl, please.
As if ai needs to get weirder: now it will act like a trippinâ adolescent instead of a sober one.
Because prisons are a for profit industry in this country.
Yeah, well, f musk
Donât forget the caregivers.
100% Abortion bans are about controlling people through economic circumstances.
Possible bottom line: The MOP strikes were performative for Trump, and this âretaliationâ is performative for Khamenei. Which may actually be the best result for the planet.
JD Vance is a little small person.
ICE is also the fault of a complicit press. How, where and who did ICE recruit? Why isn't every newspaper in the country devoting themselves to finding out who is in this brand new secret police force that now terrorizes America? It's the definition of newsworthy. The answer is: they're afraid.
ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing heâs American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: âWhy were you running?â Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.
If you think this moment is about one politician or one press conference, youâre missing the point. This is about speaking up for every single American and fighting for our constitutional rights.
What a beautiful and necessary distraction. Thank you, Mr. President @barackobama.bsky.social and @hcrichardson.bsky.social #RealTalk #Obama #CanWeGoBack
Trump created the problem. The single reason Iran was so close to obtaining a nuclear weapon is that Trump destroyed the diplomatic agreement that put major, verifiable constraints on their nuclear program.
This is *not* journalism. It is propaganda intended to shamelessly curry favor with Dear Leader. What a disgrace.
Turns out that ICE are the jack booted thugs that MAGA was worried about 6 years ago.

63% of women consider themselves pro-choice. Meanwhile, the Republican Party doesnât give a damn what women want. Instead, the Trump agenda has moved in multiple ways to harm womenâs rights in the country. Enough is enough. #Pinks #ProudBlue #OneV1 nationalpartnership.org/20-ways-the-...
Thousands showed up in Fayetteville, ARKANSAS! #NoKings #NoKingsinArkansas @jenpsaki.msnbc.com @maddow.msnbc.com @briantylercohen.bsky.social @emptywheel.bsky.social
What an embarrassment
Checking in on âYes Kingsâ
Seriously, MSNBCâs David Noriega and Jacob Soboroff were doing such great reporting from the main LA protest, from different spots, that they showed how law enforcement instigated trouble that just wasnât happening.
Hereâs a New York Times photo of the Chicago âNo Kingsâ rally. NYT said the march that followed spanned at least 10 blocks.
I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.
Do you know how badly you have to screw up as a Republican to get this kind of turnout in IDAHO? #NOKINGS
The #NoKings march in Dallas, Texas is HUGE!
Boston showed up for No Kings Day!
There are nearly 100,000 people at the rally in Philadelphia. #NoKings
Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.
For the first time, Ukraine successfully targets Russian Iskanders before launch. They are almost impossible to intercept and extremely deadly. Ukraine hit 3 launchers of the 26th Rocket Brigade at the moment they were setting up to hit Kyiv. (Mylovanov)
As climate change juices up severe storms and wildfires and makes heat waves even deadlier, cuts at all levels across the US federal government have thrown agencies tasked with preparing the country for disastersâand helping it recoverâinto chaos. In Trump's America, what do we do? A guide:
GPS hacking, power grid attacks, deepfake scams. Youâre not ready for whatâs coming next, but in this WIRED special edition, we take a look at the attacks of the future so at least you'll know what to expect: 𧔠wrd.cm/3FpD4YW

The Roberts Supreme Court continues to ignore, upend and overrule well established precedent Reshaping the government by consolidating power in the president-as @leahlitman.bsky.social describes Except for the Fed I guess theyâre worried about their portfolios But not so much about democracy
Dear God. How did anyone vote for this man?
In America, schools should be preparing students by teaching them the science, data, and facts they need to succeed â not conspiracy theories and lies.
This is from The Atlantic. This is exactly how Democrats should message Trumpâs bill. đđ»
Good time to remember: The last time Trump was president, he ran up more than 25% of ALL the debt in the entire history of America $7.8 TRILLION DOLLARS And heâs about to do it again â so he and his billionaire friends, Musk and Bezos and Zuckerberg, can get tax cuts
44% of all American children benefit from Medicaid or SNAP. Republicans' budget guts both programs. Yes: the so-called "party of family values" is putting 34 MILLION kids' health care access and food security at risk.
This times a trillion.
Awesome ( sarcasm) measles is airborn contagious for almost an hour after the infected person leaves the area.
If anyone at CNN wonders why the ratings are circling the drain, itâs because of BS like this. Biden isnât even president anymore. Who cares?
And we can watch the rivers burn again.
Who wants to be the one to tell Pee-Wee German that the "boys at Normandy" weren't all white, non-immigrants, or American citizens, but they *were* all fighting people like Stephen Miller--people called fascists.
2012?? How do they keep voting for him?
Here's the truth about tax cuts for the rich. They explode the federal debt, fuel giant profits at the biggest firms and financial institutions, and stoke a surge in billionaire wealth, but do nothing for average working people. Nothing trickles down.
But Canada has Arctic coastline, something Trump really wants(because someone told him to.)
The ~700k people of DC: âPay more fed tax per capita than people of any state; âAre more numerous than pop of WY or VT; âHave zero votes in US House or Senate; âNow being told by House GOP that we can't spend *OUR OWN* tax money, which we've already paid Cut the BS Thanks @vanhollen.senate.gov
Pay attention:
Dickensian economics: You get two toys growing up, and then the privilege of working at the same factory as your father and grandfather.
đŁïžđșđžđșđŠ Kellogg: When Russia claims they're winningâNO, theyâre not. If they were, they would have already won by now. Itâs time they face that reality. I believe Ukraine is in a strong position, and the Europeans have really stepped up in support.
Better start praying now.
Imagine the outrage from the right if any other Secretary if Defense had done this or the insane Signal chat stuff.
Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.
Are you sure you didnât have a flu shot during the third month of your pregnancy??
Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today. This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.
Powell: The level of tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated, and the same is likely to be true of the economic effects which will include higher inflation and slower growth.
Iâm going to say something that shouldnât be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period
We knew exactly what this administration was going to do because it was written in Project 2025. Folks can be surprised at how quickly it has moved, but no one can act like they didn't know.

Trumpâs off-again, on-again tariff strategy proves âFrat boysâ are running the economy, says @jeffsonnenfeld.bsky.social. If you really want to boost manufacturing, J. Nicole Bivens Collison says, you first start with investing in it, not the White Houseâs tariff-first strategy. #Velshi
Does Donald Trump even know what a trade deficit is? He seems to think itâs a sign that America is being âripped offâ and says itâs why his tariffs are necessary and that itâs a sign. But it's not inherently a bad thing. Hereâs what having a trade deficit actually means. #velshi
I wonder if giant megacorps who can afford to purchase access to the president getting tariff exemptions will be good or bad for small businesses đ€

**head slap** you donât change your birth certificate when you get married!
This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.
Chaos monkey
Life goes on in normal in the Heard and McDonald islands.
An underrated factor in how we got ourselves into this mess is that Americans are increasingly relying on computers and the internet instead of their own critical thinking faculties (AI is making this even worse), and as a result are uninformed and easy to manipulate.
We donât need food inspectors anyway. Weâll just have to get used to it.
Scary
Best sign.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"
