- It is wild how, whenever DJT says something that reveals his fundamental ignorance, reporters just kind of move on…instead of asking some version of, like, “Mr. President, can you actually explain what you mean when you say Canada does a lot of business with us, but we don’t do much with them?” 😵💫
- The innately maternal & soft yet lethal “disappointed in you” response is amazing.
- I’m no one’s idea of an outdoorsman, but this seems suboptimal.
- “You’re not the Rebellion, you’re the Empire!” 😂😂 Every friggin’ accusation is a confession with these incompetent morons.
- Bottom line - the regime is lying & stonewalling and this is nowhere near over. @vanhollen.senate.gov @alsobrooks.senate.gov
- None of the official ABC tweets or clips from the Trump interview tonight feature the most important clip of all: a demented Trump repeatedly and falsely claiming, and seeming bizarrely to believe, that Albrego Garcia literally had the letters and numbers MS13 on his knuckles.
- Shout out to @atrupar.com for providing such a clip…wild.
- Ugly loss for @mets.com who, sorry to say, absolutely deserved it after blowing a 7-1 lead going into the 7th. Bullpen implosion + stranding runners on 2nd & 3rd w/no outs in top of the 9th + @nationals.com never conceding =
- Scorcher of an opinion issued by noted liberal lunatic jurist (Reagan appointee, short list for SCOTUS Chief under GWB)…🔥🔥🔥
- INCREDIBLE opinion by Wilkinson refusing to stay Judge Xinis's orders in the Abrego Garcia case, condemning DOJ's arguments as "shocking not only to judges, but to the intuitive sense of liberty that Americans far removed from courthouses still hold dear." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
- 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
- We must all stand as a united front against the kidnapping and illegal detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Senator, I am willing to join you and help Organize other members of the House to do the same. @vanhollen.senate.gov
- @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.org Time to start speaking up and speaking out - not just a handful of us - ALL OF US.
- Fucking monsters.
- “Mommy, no. Mommy.” Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody. The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...
- *Shouldn’t* be a difficult concept to grasp.
- Best postcard maybe ever. Thank you to Susan Crawford, @benwikler.bsky.social & all who worked so hard for this critical win.
- Thank you #wisconsin
- Heck yes, @booker.senate.gov - more please!
- Thank you, @crow.house.gov - @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @democrats.org more of this please!
- This hasn't gotten enough attention. Very effective questioning by Rep. @crow.house.gov in span of 3 mins 1. exposes how Hegseth endangered servicemembers' lives 2. shows that a scandal upon the scandal is the failure to take responsibility Crow is a U.S. Army veteran (Bronze Star Medal)
- Thank you, Rep. Jason Crow - now where is everyone else?? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov really hope you’re not blocking members from speaking up & speaking out - there should be investigations, resignations & accountability for these criminally reckless & incompetent morons!
- 🔥🔥🔥
- At the Mike Lawler empty chair town hall in Peekskill, 102 year old Dee in danger of losing her Medicaid, heard FDR on the radio in 1935 when he created Social Security. @indivisible.org
- Good God, YES. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
- Good God, if we’ve learned ANYTHING, haven’t we at least learned that yet? Just speak from the friggin heart - if you oppose trans women in sports & think it’s a critical issue (wrong, but whatevs), then fine. But JFC, don’t say it b/c you *think* it’s a “winning” position - worst of all worlds.
- There's a lot of darkness today, but we still have to try to laugh...💀
- It’s always the folks you…wait.
- Can't really argue with @joshtpm.bsky.social here. @schumer.senate.gov - it's not my vote anymore, but NY will always be my home state & I promise to work hard to ensure the voters remember this in 2028.
- Calling attention to the illegal power grab & destruction of our government is everything right now. No time for antiquated, asymmetrical BS theories on civility or decorum. Thank you, Rep. John Larson! 👊
- The next guest on California Governor Gavin Newsom’s podcast: Steve Bannon.
- He’s never been likable (could obviously be both in this case, but referring here to Gov GN), but man, I thought he was at least smarter than this.
- @adamserwer.bsky.social is 1000% correct - MAGA's concept of "free speech for me, but not for thee" cannot co-exist with a truly free society. Which, God, I hope enough people still want.
- The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
- @schumer.senate.gov None of this is normal. Respectfully, please do not vote for a "CR" - promoted by this illegal administration & its GOP enablers in Congress - as if it were.
- @schumer.senate.gov Senate Dems must vote NO.
- Here's a key reason Senate Dems shouldn't vote for the CR: Trump and Musk are the ones who are *already* shutting down the government. That's the frame the public will use to understand what's happening. Check out my exchange with @tommalinowski.bsky.social on this: newrepublic.com/article/1925...
- Revising my previous "Senate Dems should not filibuster" position, since it's become clear this is no "clean" CR, as originally advertised (silly me for believing it ever could have been thus). @schumer.senate.gov Senate Dems must vote NO.
- @repauchincloss.bsky.social delivers pitch perfect response to GOP pro DOGE lies. More of this please @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
- “It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.” 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
- Some of his readers have asked Mike Masnick @mmasnick.bsky.social why his technology news site, Tech Dirt, has been covering politics so intensely lately. www.techdirt.com/2025/03/04/w... I cannot recommend Mike's reply enough. It's exactly what readers need to hear, what journalists need to do.
- [Not loaded yet]
- But the anti-Trump campus protests were probably super intense, amirite? 🫠
- Make America Ghastly Again
- Everybody's upset abt this or that thing Dems did or didn't do at the faux-SOTU. Poor messaging, poor this, bad that. Very few of those things matter much or will be things we'll remember in a couple months. What they do on the CR really does matter. A LOT. That shld be 10x more focus anything else.
- They should 100% give ZERO votes. But Senate should also not filibuster... hard to see Dem filibuster shutdown - for "rule of law"/DOGE concessions to which POTUS will never agree anyway - benefitting Dems. But under no circumstances should they provide even ONE vote if GOP can't go it alone.
- It's not my vote anymore, but it will always be my city...firmly believe Andrew Cuomo will poison the Big Apple.
- “His path to victory is to destroy the women he abused,” @lindseyboylan.bsky.social told the AP. “I’ll do everything within my power and my sense of ethics to make sure it doesn’t happen.” apnews.com/article/cuom...
- That @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social didn’t act as heat shield and/or walk out in solidarity with @algreen.house.gov when he was removed is a disgrace. Imagine a ⚾️ manager just sitting in the dugout with a 1000yd stare while his player is getting tossed by a sadistic umpire. Unreal.
- This is preposterous & shockingly inadequate - @markwarner.bsky.social if you can't recognize the extent of the threat we're facing & respond accordingly, perhaps you shouldn't expect to be returned to the Senate in 2026.
- Thank you, @schumer.senate.gov - more of this, please! 👊
- Dear God, please yes.
- Democrats should boycott the State of the Union. Democrats keep calling this man a unique and dangerous threat, but never ACT like it. For once, Democrats' *actions* should match their words. My latest in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...
- @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov @housedemocrats.bsky.social @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @aoc.bsky.social As @brianbeutler.bsky.social rightly notes, something is very wrong. We need you to acknowledge this & respond accordingly. PLEASE. substack.com/home/post/p-...
- @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @schumer.senate.gov More of this, please. We are in an emergency, none of this is acceptable, let alone “normal.” Treat it as such. Respectfully - we need you to meet this moment accordingly - like @wyden.senate.gov Do not further legitimize this illegal regime.
- [Not loaded yet]
- Unless they show up specifically to disrupt, protest, derail & either be physically removed and/or arrested…then yes, 100%.
- Sure, we have the collective memory of goldfish, but come on, folks - it wasn’t that long ago! It’s not my vote anymore, but it’ll always be my city - for God’s sake, let’s not follow one terrible mistake with another.
- It’s becoming hard to disagree with this position…
- As a result of the disgraceful & tragic spectacle in the White House today, with our embrace of murderous dictators & the disavowal of our staunchest allies…the world is a significantly more dangerous place. And we are far less safe here at home.
- These MFers. Not only are they galactically incompetent, but they exhibit the worst American stereotypes: arrogant, thin skinned, & callous. Good for Zelensky for calling out this destructive BS - the sooner we all start accepting & then confronting the MAGA lies, rot & bad faith, the better.
- This is why Dems/progressives should quit it w/the “We want Govt efficiency, too, just not like this.” caveats to everything they say - THE OTHER SIDE DOESN’T GIVE A FLIP ABOUT EFFICIENCY. They just want more power, wealth, & the freedom to punish their enemies with impunity.
- 🫡🫡🫡
- Much gratitude to Rep. Brittany Petterson & @repkevinmullin.bsky.social for showing up under challenging personal/family/health circumstances to vote against the cruel, corrupt House GOP budget. More of this, please @housedemocrats.bsky.social - the fight has only just begun!
- From @brianbeutler.bsky.social , some advice for leading Dems: @schumer.senate.gov are you listening? Try this: “Republicans control the House and Senate…Dems will be prepared to help—but only after Trump’s constitutional crime spree comes to a permanent end”? www.offmessage.net/p/out-with-t...
