- @tomdreisbach.bsky.social reviews three Trump people--Paul Ingrassia, Paul Ingrassia, and Eagle Ed Martin--whose ties to Neo-Nazis should get them fired under Trump's EO's mandating that no federal funds go to support antisemitism. www.npr.org/2025/05/14/n...
- I am BEGGING you to get involved with your local Democratic Party, and to do it ASAP. Don't wait for the midterms to get here to get involved. Be plugged in and ready to get to work. We are less than 12 months away from the next election season.
- BREAKING: Federal judge orders the release of Georgetown scholar Badar Khan Suri from immigration detention in Texas. Judge Patricia Giles said feds presented no evidence to support claimed foreign policy grounds or to show he is a Hamas supporter. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2025/03...
- While Gavin Newsom, governor of a state Trump lost by 20 points, is throwing marginalized communities under the bus to pander for an ill-fated presidential bid, Andy Beshear, governor of a state Trump won by 30 points, is going out of his way to defend marginalized communities as a moral imperative.
- No, you’re not crazy. They are deporting brown people and importing white people.

- This is leadership. This is solidarity. This is good trouble. Democratic Senators Booker, Smith, and Schatz crash the House markup in protest of Medicaid cuts…
- JUST IN: Judge rules DOJ canceled grants to the American Bar Association in retaliation for criticizing the Trump administration. He has enjoined the department from terminating the grants on that basis. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...
- I was told I was overreacting about habeas corpus.
- Zinke is so deeply corrupt.
- Oh noooooooo!!!!! @gtconway.bsky.social caught Pam Bondi's brother doing the same funny math she has become famous for!!!!!
- With some help from the Daily Show, here’s my latest Instagram message to the DC Bar about Brad Bondi’s candidacy for its presidency. 😁 www.instagram.com/reel/DJo8nW-...

- Russia is no friend. “German police detained three men suspected of planning to mail packages laden with explosives in a Russian-sponsored act of sabotage reminiscent of recent attacks on DHL logistics hubs, prosecutors said Wednesday.”
- “Joseph A. Darrow, a 10-year veteran of the [immigration] unit, said he could not ‘with clean conscience’ defend the department’s actions under Ms. Bondi, claiming they ran counter to the law, Constitution and ‘basic principles of fairness and humanity,’ he wrote in a resignation email" NYT obtained
- “The costs of opposition are surmountable. And importantly, the descent into authoritarianism is reversible. Pro-democracy forces have successfully resisted or reversed backsliding in recent years in Brazil, Poland, Slovakia, South Korea and elsewhere.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

- And there it is folks. Qatar orders 160 Boeing aircraft. Trump gets 1 free $400M jet as his brokerage fee. Nothing to see here.
- As opposed to those awful, foreign-made Boeing jets? 🤦🏻♂️ $BA

- Veterans know about trust - how trust is given and how trust is earned. Our nation continues to face a crisis of trust - and all of us can and must take action to change that.

- Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

- So years ago they blamed Biden for leaving people in Afghanistan, but now they’re sending back the ones that got away, into the arms of the Taliban which is a death sentence for them. Make it make sense… www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

- Dereliction of duty.
- “It would be more costly to taxpayers to move the family out & then right back into the residence later this summer,” Mr. Scheer said in a statement on Monday Hey Globe & Mail, why didn’t you ask the burning question: ‘Who is paying for Poilievre’s ineligible Stornoway stay?’ The taxpayer? #NeverPP
- It might be worthwhile to note that Republicans could extend the vast majority of the tax cuts for the rich that are their raison d'etre and not cut a single penny of Medicaid or other vital services for those in need. If they wanted to. Seems the greed w/o the cruelty just isn't enough for them.
- The first thing Trump/Doge/Duffy did about aviation was to fire FAA staffers, including controllers. The second thing was to see whether a long-standing technology contract could be siphoned to Musk. The third was to blame DCA disaster on DEI. Fourth, calling controllers 'unpatriotic' Next?

- I think the liberals know we don’t need to hear it and Poilievre’s crowd won’t care so they’re staying hyper focused on the job. Poilievre screwed himself once with this stuff, let him do it again
- There is zero legitimate reasons for any Democrats to support privitized CrimeBucks. Cryptocurrency is fundamentally a scam that seeks to destroy the US treasury and is backed by leading fascists. It’s a complete betrayal of the people if Democrats help them.
- The word is that @gallego.senate.gov + @markwarner.bsky.social are trying again to gather Dem votes to advance the shady GENIUS Act that will end up helping the Trump family to get richer off crypto this Thursday. Call you Sens today 202-224-3121 ask them to vote against the dumb GENIUS bill.
