"Trump is violating criminal & civil laws flagrantly, incl. the terms of these very budget agreements. And yet every time funding for the govt has lapsed or has neared expiration, Democrats have provided votes required to end debate & even to actually pass new funding." Fight for democracy ffs!

I was appalled (though not surprised) when I learned Sunday that Senate Dems intend to help Republicans fund the government through the election, with one minimal concession that has nothing to do with election subversion or ongoing Trump theft of federal dollars from blue states. And I remain so.

Holy shit. www.wired.com/story/a-civi...

The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter the whale up until a couple was found having sex inside it. Now the whale’s jaws are opened only for special occasions, such as Swedish election days.

There are only three possible futures: a) everyone in the Trump admin goes to jail, rule of law partially restored; b) Dems retaliate in full, and maybe that's a deterrent; c) neither (a) nor (b), so lawless authoritarianism wins again, and when Republicans regain power they ramp it up even more.

“Trump has rejected disaster aid for Democratic-run states at the highest rate in the 47-year history of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.” Right now people in blue states are basically paying federal taxes as if they’re colonized territories of red states. www.politico.com/news/2026/03...

its maddening to be told for decades that we cant have green energy until its profitable and then watch us burn trillions so people can make videos of homer simpson doing the harlem shake

It's very funny that the way these brainstems talk about him, you'd think Biden was one of the most powerful and influential presidents we've ever had

WELKER: Is America backing away from a larger attack bc our stockpile has been depleted? WALTZ: We have to take a step back. A lot of our stockpiles were depleted because of Biden WELKER: But you acknowledge they're depleted? WALTZ: No. And the people leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail

America’s finest young scholars competed to mark their country's birthday. It led to a disputed finish in the age of mistrust.

The UK ‘Labour’ Party’s descent into a puppet of the Israeli state is both shameful and terrifying. 14 years in jail for a journalist who reports information received from a group that the Home Secretary can designate as terrorist without having MPs vote on it. Same for aid agency workers.

14 years in prison as a TERRORIST for a quote?!

WATCH: “‘The bar is SO LOW… let’s want more… you deserve better…” 🔥 👀 @ashleyallison.bsky.social was not playing with Peter Meijer and other obedient Trump defenders who tried to make him a hero just for saying ‘thank you for having me’ 🤔 We are very here for the condescension ♥️

You want to know why too many people don't respect the media? It's because the media doesn't respect itself. We're all embarrassed for you. Have some fucking dignity.

After insisting the correspondents' dinner was worth reviving, the WHCA handed Trump a nationally televised platform to smear the very journalists it exists to represent, effectively turn the stage into a Trump rally. It was a disgrace. My latest @status.news www.status.news/p/the-white-...

Gross to see a senator skip over the part where the aid was cut off illegally and without warning. Cooking their brains on a right wing owned social media site.

This idiot has probably never been to the BOREAL FOREST a day in his life. It is 5.5 times the size of Texas. You cannot "groom" it. It's burning because of climate change. The utter bullshit from these climate deniers. Canadians are sick of this bullying and they are not going to take it.

Rep. Jeff Van Drew: "Canada isn't working because they are so far left. This should be a warning shot to them. You better come to America, say, 'We're sorry, we're gonna mend our ways and do what we used to do and groom and maintain the forest.'"

The US Treasury has announced that the US Mint is beginning production of a new $1 gold coin featuring Trump’s face. This is against the law. Federal law does not allow living people to appear on U.S. currency, and the Presidential $1 Coin Act only authorizes coins honoring deceased presidents.

If the Supreme Court serves a legitimate democratic purpose, I am not sure what it is at this point.

Alex Aronson@alexaronson.bsky.social · 3w ago

Amy Coney Barrett just told Congress that it would be inappropriate to explain the reasoning behind the Court’s unreasoned shadow docket orders. As if unreasoned judicial orders are a thing. They are not. The reasoning is the whole point.

If it goes down like this, I’m going to need dems to do literally whatever they can think of to stop it, like fill the chamber with bees, feed everyone some RFK Jr poo lettuce, I really don’t care but that sack of shit cannot be allowed to seat two more justices, he just can’t

Brian Beutler@brianbeutler.bsky.social · 3w ago

At the very least, I assume Alito (and maybe Thomas, too) has received an assurance that if Dems lose the Senate, Republicans will replace him during the lame duck. It was 6 weeks from RBG’s death to ACB’s confirmation, which is leaves more than enough time. www.offmessage.net/p/samuel-ali...

The elected officials of the Republican Party know the country is governed by a mad king who is trying to destroy the constitution, but they’re too afraid to try to do anything about it. That’s what I call patriotism.
