Great conversation! Really enjoy Dan Balz’s historical political insights. Thanks @washingtonweekpbs.bsky.social
Federal scientists at multiple agencies (e.g., EPA, CDC, FEMA) are risking and losing their jobs to take a stand and warn the American people about the damage being done to our health, environmental and scientific research enterprise.
He can sense the condition of their sub-cellular organelles !

Nice pic!
Thou shalt not conduct thyself like Ken Paxton
Yes, Ukraine really shouldn’t have let Russia attack them 🙄. #PresidentMoron
Room full of butt-kissing suck ups
He can F right off
@mcfaulmike.bsky.social listened to your excellent interview with Charlie Rose. Such a helpful brief history of Russian leaders and how we got where we are with the war on Ukraine. Looking forward to your book!
Good riddance
President Donald Trump is expected to leave the White House on Thursday—NBC getting my hopes up!!😩 nbcwashington.app.link/Szel9HOg1Vb
@nicollewallace.bsky.social thank you for speaking truth to power! Even more important now, and we know tyrants are afraid of a free press.
As Trump unleashes his authoritarianism across the country, it’s important to know your rights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=metN4EiDtmQ
Good to have friends by his side

It’s more important than ever to understand your right to due process. Here’s what you should know. youtu.be/metN4EiDtmQ
Bully puppet
Next: a tiki bar!!
That would obviously be a problem
I am unconcerned with what others believe as long as they do not tell me what I should believe.
Carol Leonnig, a Pulitzer prize-winning journalist and a 25-year veteran of The Washington Post, is leaving the newspaper. Democracy dies in darkness.
This is beyond sad. We are dismantling our country piece by piece.
😩
Truly disheartening
With Tom Lehrer's passing, I suppose this is a moment to share the story of the prank he played on the National Security Agency, and how it went undiscovered for nearly 60 years.
😡😩🤦🏻♀️
Truly sad @washingtonpost.com

Actor Mandy Patinkin’s plea for Jews to consider how what Netanyahu’s Israeli government is doing to Gaza is not just harming Palestinians and killing kids — but also endangering Jews across the globe.
It doesn’t feel like he is joking
I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
❤️💪
This legal victory will help protect workers from being stopped, harassed, or detained simply for looking brown and working hard.👏👏
Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. They make sure we have clean water. They protect us from financial fraud. They provide healthcare to our communities. They make our government actually work for people. Do not forget this.
🤮
Vote NO!
@steventdennis.bsky.social nice pic of you in NYT 😊
Unbelievably awful behavior at the top of DOJ. What a blight on our country they are.😡
As a brutal heat wave overtakes much of the country, almost every single state lacks universal air conditioning in their prisons, where temperatures can exceed 120 degrees. This isn’t an issue of comfort or luxury — it's an issue of life or death for many incarcerated people.
Dark Night extra update: 🦇$146,984 raised 🦇$3,016 to go We're nearly there, Fellas! After yesterday's @toonietuesday.bsky.social boost, we've made huge progress. The NAFO air defense unit is almost ready💙💛 Let's make a final push: u24.gov.ua/nafo-dark-ni...

Peace through war?

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️
Bukele is obviously a great guy for the US to cozy up to…
Saturday’s military parade in Washington celebrating the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army was sponsored by at least four brands that have strong financial and political ties to President Trump, raising questions about whether the event benefited his allies and supporters.
😂
So waymo expensive?
Good, then he can afford to pay for his own parade
Is a parade massive if there are more people IN the parade than watching it?
Obvious point: Most of the undocumented immigrants who are being rounded up are better Americans, in the ways that matter, than Donald J. Trump.
All but the”cheering crowds”
I’m sorry, this stupid “parade” is SO DISRESPECTFUL TO THE TROOPS, making trained forces into a political prop.🤮
Every elected Republican should be asked if they think the president has the power to send in military in to “liberate” a state or city from its elected government.
Sickening

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.
This makes me ill.

I hope we can “reveil” it in a few years
Important to remember that Cuomo resigned when a lengthy, detailed report on multiple varied instances of sexual misconduct was issued, and has never addressed several of the most serious charges.
Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

Proud to see my county on the list
Of course🙄
My bill, the Congressional Trade Authority Act, would prevent Trump from abusing this provision, return trade authority to Congress, where it belongs, and stop Trump’s trade war from doing further harm to the United States and the world. Congress should pass it. 7/7
This woman isn’t wearing enough, and large enough, crosses.
Is there any convicted criminal that $Trump won’t pardon??!
😥
One minute in Kyiv I continue sharing these moments with you to show Kyiv's beauty and strength. Stop me when you get bored.
I assume all of these folks were equally horrified and calling for investigations of people who had images of President Biden bound and gagged on their truck tailgates??!! Right??!!
Looney tunes
Very good idea!
This is SO disgusting
The federal government is attempting a radical, massive expansion of what constitutes "wiretapping" that threatens everyone working in media/as a journalist today and I hope you'll read this and share it with everyone you know. I'm not just fighting this for me. I'm fighting it for everyone.
Thank you for speaking up. You are inspiring and exactly the voice we need in Congress.
Republicans have just proposed defunding Planned Parenthood nationwide. In doing so, they are telling women and people across the country that our healthcare doesn’t matter and that we are undeserving of care. It’s time to stop this bill in its tracks.
Add this to your list of demands to members of Congress! (Read Ryan's full thread for more context about what's actually ending and what seems vulnerable to future cuts)
Should the elected leader of a once proud country (USA) fly around in a custom aircraft provided by any King, Prince, or foreign State? #EmollumentsClause
BREAKING: Federal judge rules that President Donald Trump's executive order targeting the Perkins Coie law firm — the first of several such orders — is unconstitutional and, accordingly, "null and void." Background at Law Dork on the original TRO in the case: www.lawdork.com/p/perkins-co...
![IV. CONCLUSION The U.S. Constitution affords critical protections against Executive action like that ordered in EO 14230. Government officials, including the President, may not “subject[] individuals to ‘retaliatory actions’ after the fact for having engaged in protected speech.” Hous. Cmty. Coll. Sys., 595 U.S. at 474 (quoting Nieves, 587 U.S. at 398). They may neither “use the power of the State to punish or suppress disfavored expression,” Vullo, 602 U.S. at 188, nor engage in the use of “purely personal and arbitrary power,” Yick Wo, 118 U.S. at 370. In this case, these and other foundational protections were violated by EO 14230. On that basis, this Court has found that EO 14230 violates the Constitution and is thus null and void. For the reasons explained, plaintiff is entitled to summary judgment and declaratory and permanent injunctive relief on Counts II through IX of the Amended Complaint. The government’s motion to dismiss is denied. An order consistent with this Memorandum Opinion will be entered contemporaneously. Date: May 2, 2025 __________________________ BERYL A.

WATCH: “You’re saying you revere a time when their ancestors were in bondage.” In NC, @davidjoy.bsky.social powerfully explains why it’s wrong to remove a “compromise plaque” without public input, and why revering the confederacy is offensive. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DI9vdzA...
Wow
(4/4) Furthermore, for anyone to infer that Ukrainians are not brave is beyond contempt. Ukrainian people and their President are amongst the bravest people I’ve ever had the honour to meet.
EMERGENCY ACTION Join us we’re actively working to get coalition members on the ground! Milwaukee County Judge Hannah Dugan was arrested by the FBI this morning after refusing to allow ICE agents into her courtroom. She was taken to the federal courthouse.
NEW: Read the resignation letter of three federal prosecutors who'd worked on the Eric Adams case: "Now, the Department has decided that obedience supersedes all else, requiring us to abdicate our legal and ethical obligations in favor of directions from Washington." static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...
I guess they could have Master History Month and Slave History Month
This was such a powerful and honest letter. I hope law enforcement members read it.
This is an extraordinary opinion, and brief and clear enough for even non lawyers to understand. Required reading for all Americans who care about our country and our Constitution. #RuleofLaw
