Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson to NBC News: "The [National] Guard is not needed." "This is not the role of our military. The brave men and women who signed up to serve our country did not sign up to occupy American cities."
ATTN: If you're one of the Treasury employees that handled Epstein's Suspicious Activity Reports, feel free to reach out to me via signal (in my bio). I’ll keep you anonymous- as I have the thousands of current and former federal workers who have sent me tips. Please share this widely. 🙏🏻
Any sign of cankles, today? #DailyCanklesCheck
The fact that the President of the United States posts a fake video of a kneeling Barack Obama being handcuffed and we’re supposed to pretend it’s perfectly normal, everyday stuff shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.
When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
*staring down an angry seagull* I evolved to survive on a diet of trash too, you’re not special
He already closed his first deal! :3
Just because you don't drink their koolaid, doesn't mean you don't drink koolaid. Self reflection is good. Skepticism is healthy.
More clouds at sunrise Sunday. 💜🩷
📌The President of the United States posted a FAKE VIDEO TO THE WORLD of a kneeling Barack Obama being placed in handcuffs, and we are supposed go along like it is just another day. Our press has so completely lost the thread it would be laughable if it wasn't so damn dangerous and disgusting.

Very impressive turnout (looks like 100s) for @BetoORourke in Glen Allen yesterday, no question. Dems are really yearning to hear this type of strong, clear messaging on the FUBAR situation we're in and what to do about it. bluevirginia.us/2025/07/vide... h/t @TylerEnglander
The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.
Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.
You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.
Having now watched the footage and interview two of the members who were there, the amount of armed, masked federal agents surrounding three members of Congress and a mayor outside the ICE facility was totally unnecessary; the only possible reason for it was intentional escalation and intimidation.
They’re deporting citizens, arresting judges and mayors… are we really just going to let them get away with this shit on top of everything else they are doing?!
Women have a right to autonomy. Men don't have a right to wives, girlfriends, or sex slaves.
According to the AMA, there are over 1 million active physicians in the United States. Trump’s new pick for Surgeon General isn’t one of them. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

We must keep fighting to make sure every Social Security check goes out in full and on time, just as they have for the past 90 years.
IMPORTANT: No one should try to use this process without first talking with a lawyer. Despite DHS's claims, leaving the country could impose SEVERE consequences for many people here currently without status, with a 10-year bar on reentry being a best-case scenario for most.
Trump’s back in the White House—and his kids are cashing in. Saudi towers, Qatari golf deals, crypto schemes. This isn’t public service. It’s a shakedown. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

RFK Jr. is dangerous.
Just a note to everyone out there taking care of aging parents: I see you and I’m sending you love. 💕
Okay Luigi absolutely didn't do it and this is a pin job
Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”
Because public art with a message is important
Rinse and repeat for the foreseeable future.
Thank you Greyhound!
RFK Jr. is ending the federal Narcan distribution program credited with the recent steep decline in overdose deaths. This despite his own past heroin addiction and his own brother dying of a drug overdose in 1984.
Democrats who think we should stop using the word "oligarchy" ought to watch this video. Even a system that calls itself a democracy can become an oligarchy if power becomes concentrated in the hands of a few very wealthy people and corporations. www.youtube.com/watch?v=inBW...
As bad as Tesla’s earnings report was, it includes *hundreds of millions of dollars* of regulated rebates. Without those, the company would have reported a LOSS. Remember that next time Elon rails against government regulations.
Why Hegseth’s second Signal chat may be worse than the first www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n...
I don't think it gets more Second Gilded Age than this.
My first apartment in 1994 was $350/month. Adjusting for inflation, that apartment should now rent for $744/month. It actually rents for $1500. Greed and inflation are hurting the kids, not their Starbucks lattes.
Pope Francis essentially said help the poor and hungry, help the refugee.
BREAKING: MAGA Governor Ron DeSantis is caught in a jaw-dropping scandal as it's exposed that he funneled $10 million in taxpayer money to his wife's charity, who gave it to dark money groups, who then donated $8.5 million to his minion's PAC. Even Republicans are calling this illegal
🇺🇲
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has blocked the Trump administration from deporting foreign nationals under the Alien Enemies Act. Thomas, Alito dissent.
As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.
Hey media: If your headline says “Putin declares Easter ceasefire in Ukraine” without also including the fact that Russian forces haven’t stopped fighting for even a second, you’re just helping his propaganda machine.
Pure psychopathic Putin. Declare a ceasefire and immediately break it 2000 times.
We're losing billions of dollars in lost tax revenue from deportations. We're losing billions of dollars in trade due to tariffs. But somehow, the economy is supposed to automagically improve.
Hey Night Owl 🦉 Well - the SignalGate drama continues. It has been reported that there was a 2nd chat 💬 shared by WhiskeyLeaks! This time his wife, brother and lawyer were privy to strike plans. Raise your hand if he should be fired right now! 🤚🏾 Repost!🔄 #BlueCrew #FuckTrump #SignalGate
It’s so adorable that Pete Hegseth thought it was going to be *Pentagon leakers* who made him look bad. Bless his little heart.
*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.
This
Is it spam or is it just Pete Hegseth texting you classified information?
For people in the journalism business, and for people in general, *this* is the killer detail in latest Hegseth-dereliction-of-duty report: That *four* people on the call were willing to talk about it! Congrats to the reporters. And most obvious dead-man-walking of cabinet members perhaps ever.
Goodbye health insurance.
Pete Hegseth should never have been nominated, and certainly not confirmed. How many Signalgate scandals does it take to fire a reckless, lying, dimwitted incompetent?
Former Pentagon official warns department’s dysfunction could topple Hegseth www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
Thank you for the alt text
For years I have wondered, "How could Harvard need any more money? What difference could it make?" This is one of many questions the Trump thugs are answering. I've pledged more money than in a long time. Institutions that stand up deserve people standing up with them.
So they want the death penalty for Luigi Mangione. Could someone, please, please, please, remind me the last time the death penalty was discussed for those mass shooting children?
Reminder: The Trump Administration used an unsecured commercial messaging app to text secret military plans to a journalist, endangering our national security. There’s still been zero accountability. Fire Hegseth. Fire Waltz.
The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: “If you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.” That is dangerously false. www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...
Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.
Trump’s to-do list…
Thou shalt ban insider trading, once and for all!
They fired Navy Vice Admiral Shoshana Chatfield—not because she couldn’t do the job, but because she wouldn’t hang up pictures of Trump and Hegseth. This ain’t about merit—it’s about ego.
One is made a national story every single week and the other is shhhhh.....
BREAKING: The Supreme Court says the government must facilitate the RETURN of Abrego Garcia from El Salvador to the United States. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
He has no idea what the hell he’s doing.
Nothing pisses-off MAGA Christians like the teachings of Jesus.
Jesus said, "love your neighbor as yourself." Not control your neighbor. Not mock your neighbor. Not shame your neighbor. Not dehumanize your neighbor. Not demonize your neighbor. Not defeat your neighbor. Jesus said, “love your neighbor as yourself.”
I already called his work and told them they hire horrible people.
"Our words and actions mean everything. Every day comes clearer that individuals too must fight. Must carve out their place in all this. It is only in the aggregate we lose ourselves. But it is also only in the aggregate we can truly be saved." - Andrew Silberstein abovethelaw.com/2025/04/asso...
Our latest: America ain’t dead yet We’re down but we’re sure as shit not out
West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.
Melania Trump Reschedules White House Tradition Due to Protests Told ya they're working!
Trump is set to leave the White House early today to go to his Florida golf club after setting the economy on fire with his devastating tariff announcement.
This is what corruption looks like.
Of course they lied to Congress. And now there's no one in the DoJ that will do anything about it. Keep calling them out on their lies. We're the only check on them now.
A MAGA supporter drove a car into a crowd, and another brandished a taser at peaceful protesters during a Tesla protest—both individuals are now facing charges. In response, we are launching our own investigative team to support local law enforcement.
A key point is this-when did Hegseth classify/declassify this stuff. They want us to focus on Waltz adding Goldberg to the chat. That’s bad, but it’s not the bigger story. Hegseth claims no classified material went out. So did he NEVER classify it, or did he declassify it & when?
Pushy, loud, and aggressive —living up to the stereotype. Hide ya Couches, Greenland!!
"It is outrageous and it is a leadership failure and that’s why Secretary Hegseth, who undoubtedly transmitted classified sensitive operational information via this chain, must resign immediately."
Where are the Joint Chiefs in this shitshow? Awfully fucking quiet.
A WIRED review shows national security adviser Mike Waltz, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other top officials left sensitive information exposed via Venmo—until WIRED asked about it.
Working class Americans live SEVEN years shorter lives than the rich. In many respects, being working class in America is a death sentence. www.newsweek.com/bernie-sande...
New from me at Cato: Donald Trump thinks he can overhaul the nation's election system by presidential decree. Let's see what the U.S. Constitution and the courts have to say about that. /1
I just want Americans to understand that the whole world is reading about Hegseth’s Signal chat disaster, and looking at your President’s incompetent response, and *laughing*. Everyone. Every corner of the world. The howls are ringing in the air. Your power & influence collapsed in a few emojis.
Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.
