Given that most, if not all MAGA merch is made in China, I'll be really curious to see what happens to their pricing and availability 😁

Duckworth on if she's open to voting to confirm Mike Waltz: "I think everybody on that Signal chain needs to be fired ... he's failing up ... I'm not open to voting for him, no, because he's already demonstrated he's incapable of doing the most basic thing, which is handling classified information."

It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Stephen Miller doesn’t fear outrage. What really rattles him is being laughed at. For someone obsessed with power and relevance, nothing stings more than being dismissed as a punchline. So, let's get to work. Add your Miller mockery below. 👇👇

I hope everyone working on LLMs has reckoned with their role in building a technology that, so far, has offered little to no benefit to humanity — while causing real harm by degrading art, undermining labor in creative industries, and straight up automating political propaganda

"Trump lost against the Maine governor. He lost against Perkins Coie. He loses 80% of cases in court. Which makes those who’ve capitulated look that much more foolish, because if they’d just fought back, they would've retained what they thought they'd lose and their dignity would still be intact."

We need a leftist Andrew Tate. We need a leftist Fox News. We need a casino where you don't gamble and they give you free money. I refuse to understand the ecosystem I'm in the center of and I will not leave or modify my behavior. We need leftist McNuggets

I joined Ali Velshi of MSNBC this morning and Ali’s first question was about the President’s jarring answer “I don’t know” to the question “Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as president?”

My sister killed herself last night. She was 33. I am not looking for a bunch of "I'm so sorry" type messages or anything of that sort. An acknowledgement is enough.

Few lawyers are willing to speak publicly about President Trump’s actions against law firms. Fear is rippling through Washington. But, despite being a target, Marc Elias is still talking. Scott Pelley sits down with him tonight on 60 Minutes.

Warnock: Georgia officials said they were sorry but their hands were tied, you can’t vote the first weekend of the runoff after the holiday so I decided to untie them, I sued them. And I won… They appealed asking for emergency relief. Emergency relief from what? People voting?

New from 404 Media: the Signal clone the Trump administration uses was just hacked. TeleMessage makes a modified version of Signal that archives messages for government agencies, Waltz used it. A hacker got some users' messages, group chats. Hugely significant breach www.404media.co/the-signal-c...

When a president "doesn't know" if he has to follow the constitution, how do you not immediately bring up the fact that he took an oath to do exactly that? A real journalist would do that. A conspiratorial fluffer would move right along and pretend everything was normal.

seems like trump mainly uses “low IQ” to describe black people. of a piece with his birtherism and his insistence that there are specific, low-wage “black jobs” that must be protected from immigrants

Deranged Trump is now putting a 100% tariff on movies made outside the US.

Warnock: I don’t know how anybody can be apathetic after what we’re going through right now. We say elections have consequences. That ain’t a slogan right about now. We’re living that reality. Here I am doing everything I can with the tools that I have but tools are not the same…

Warnock: Don’t lecture to me about meritocracy while I witness you nominate the most unfit unqualified people we’ve ever seen. You cannot lecture me about merit while nominating Pete Hegseth…

Most people use a lens hood to manage glare and lens flare. I need mine to protect my lens from sheep and goats. 😆

I may be the only lawyer targeted by Trump willing to speak on camera, but for me it wasn't a choice. All of us have an obligation to speak out against what Trump is doing. All of us have an obligation to fight for democracy. I am fortunate to be a lawyer and to have a platform -- and I will use it.

So I think the folks at Ladbrokes need to start running a line on whether Trump can make it to January 20, 2026 without being committed to a mental institution

The US is one of 8 countries without national paid maternity leave. And the GOP wonders why the birthrate is low?

yeah, movies. those things not made in america.

Do you remember how much time and energy was spent arguing with Trumpers in 2020 that Trump wasn’t sending a message (‘stand back and stand by’) to the fascist Proud Boys? And yet, here we are:

Did he just see the movie?

Trump says movies produced outside the U.S. are a national security threat. So he’s imposing a 100% tariff on all movies that are “produced in foreign lands.”

If the president brings the legal profession to heel, what does that mean? “No rule of law. You're in a dictatorship,” says attorney John Keker. https://cbsn.ws/4d5fgpp

May the Fourth be with you all! These are some of our favorite actors, very talented!

Yep.

For the love of god congressional Republicans, take tariffs authority away from this madman

Protestors marched through an impoverished neighborhood where residents unexpectedly joined and cheered them from their balconies. (📹 @marikamikiashvili.bsky.social) “Down with Russia’s rotten Empire!” “Until the end!” #3E #GeorgiaProtests

Even if Donald Trump's openness to defying the Constitution and denying due process doesn't surprise you, his ignorance of his oath of office should shock all of us.

Georgia refuses to surrender. #3E #GeorgiaProtests

BREAKING: Jasmine Crockett has made it official that she's running to be the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee following Rep. Connolly's announcement that he'll be stepping down. This is Donald Trump’s worst nightmare.

Beyond parody.

the president wants to reopen alcatraz because he’s an old man with dementia who is mentally frozen in the 1970s and 80s. he’s not trying to distract you, his brain is just full of holes

BREAKING: Donald Trump says he will impose 100% tariffs on all movies produced outside the United States. Trump’s ridiculous obsession with tariffs is wrecking the economy. Now more than ever, Congress must reclaim its constitutional authority over tariffs

could someone work on the poster thx bye

“Donald Trump hates me because I fight hard, and I fight for free and fair elections. I insist on fighting for democracy in court, fighting for voting rights in court, and insist on telling the truth about what the outcome of the 2020 election was,” says lawyer Marc Elias. cbsn.ws/43btfGV
