Trump looks at least one stroke under par today.

Senator Whitehouse tells it like it is. Fraud at the Social Security Administration is statistically rare. And undocumented workers DO NOT collect #SocialSecurity benefits. These are excuses to gut and privatize the agency that administers YOUR earned benefits! @propublica.org @whitehouse.senate.gov

“This whistleblower has ‘provided substantive, internal DOJ documents’ that back up claims made by former senior DOJ attorney-turned-whistleblower Erez Reuveni, said the group.” bsky.app/profile/jben...

Shout this!

#ProudBlue This is what true leadership looks like. You lead with compassion & empathy. You comfort & heal. Not the hateful BS happening right now. I miss Biden’s leadership. He wasn’t perfect, but he is a good man & a true leader. These pics don’t fit their narrative of him being unfit.

They bend every law, they break every law, they hack voting machines, they deploy roving gangs of thugs to steal people off the street, they openly embrace racism, they lie nonstop, they incite political violence, and much more. Their evil knows no limits. Then they claim to be followers of Jesus.

Someone talk me off the ledge... What is all the protesting getting us except more and more extreme reactions from the white house? This administration literally DOES NOT CARE.

I'm taking action on June 14 to remind Trump and his enablers that America has No Kings. Join me in Denver to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like. app.sosha.ai/s/PRSe90qV

Happy Sunday! We made it to June, arguably the best month of the year. We had six strong contenders this morning for sunrise but after a spirited debate this one took first place. Tap for full size. I hope you have a great day!

Yes, you did vote to deport moms.

The reconciliation bill has a provision in it that would allow the IRS to revoke nonprofits 501(c)(3) statuses for alleged support of terrorism and let me tell you, if that becomes law they will 100% use that for political punishment. Without any doubt.

Donald Trump’s racism and derangement were on full display yesterday. And while news headlines fell well short of proclaiming the hatefulness of his remarks, media outlets came closer than they have before to openly addressing Trump’s vehemently racist views. presswatchers.org/2025/05/main...

The Marco Rubio who testified today is not the one I served with in the Senate. He has had a full MAGA lobotomy. Today I directly told him about the many ways he has betrayed American values and interests:

In order to buy into Jake Tapper’s theory, you’d have to believe that democrats were duped into thinking Biden is young as opposed to believing that low information voters were duped by Trump.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

All fellow Marylanders can take pride in the work of Dr. Carla Hayden, who has provided remarkable leadership as the Librarian of Congress. Her sacking by Donald Trump, who knows little about Congress & less about libraries, is a scandal exposing his contempt for learning, literature & knowledge.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

I'm compiling state-by-state lists of independent media on BS. If you're a #reporter #journalist @ me with your city/state/beat to be added. And keep an eye out for #TruthBombs - a new action using local news in meme format to combat disinformation and voter apathy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiYp...

54.7 .... 5.5.

I think we should call measles the Trump Pox.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

A friend of mine has coined the term “Pinocheting” to describe what the government is doing to these prisoners.

Former SSA commissioner @martinomalley.bsky.social , who is organizing a "Hands off Social Security" initiative, explains why the Trump administration suddenly adding living people to the "death master file" affects more than just a person's Social Security status.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The fundamental problem with the “alien enemy”-or-innocent binary in this story, as other binaries, is that it’s deeply flawed. Innocence should be irrelevant. Even Tren de Aragua membership should be irrelevant. What matters is that this is lawless invocation of a wartime power during peacetime.

@kyledcheney.bsky.social posted this yesterday but seeing people who're unaware of it. CIA revealed yesterday that John Ratcliffe had deleted his Signal messages. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"We can react by seeing all of this for what it is, and naming it by name: incipient state terror. We can react by associating ourselves with others who are repressed before we are. Only in solidarity do we affirm law."

If you haven't seen Leigh's latest rant, she has nailed this situation.

Locking down your phone, being mindful of what you're wearing, and coming up with plans to communicate with others are all key steps to take before attending a protest.

Bukele has already returned migrants to the U.S. because they were from Central America or they were women—migrants the Trump admin had unilaterally declared as “criminals.” This is all a joke to them. It’s truly sick.

Thanks, Jeff Tiedrich!
