Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

I wear the badge of “MAGA’s top enemy” proudly. I saw their chaos and corruption. So I spoke out.
They sued me. Threatened me. That won’t stop me from holding them accountable in Congress.

Conservatives are now drilling down on distracting young women by pressuring early motherhood.
The Heritage Foundation’s 2026 report Saving America by Saving the Family, makes that explicitly clear.
Read at your own risk:
DOJ Rapid Response • O @DOJRR47 X.com Yesterday the Department of Justice filed a motion to vacate the convictions of several Americans who had received clemency from President Trump. This ends these years-long, Biden-era weaponized prosecutions. President Trump demanded we stop the two-tiered injustice—and we are delivering. No more rigged system. 1:32 PM • 4/15/26 • 6.7K Views
The individuals referenced here are adjudicated terrorists.
They were found guilty of conspiring to use force against their own government to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.
A conservative, Trump-appointed judge applied terrorism enhancements to their sentences.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.
'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:
Last week this man was Chamberlain to his own Hitler. This week he is Judas to his own Jesus.
One can pile up the blasphemies and the ironies or one could just say that this man is unwell.
Trump gets Booed; MAGA Splinters!

When I was a kid, we were taught in elementary school "reduce, reuse, recycle" - let's add another R word, "rescue" - let's teach kids that rescue is the cool thing to do - let's make rescue the default - visit www.instagram.com/rescue.circl... if you wanna see wonderful rescue stories.
Key quote from DC Cir majority on ballroom case:
“We cannot fairly determine, on this hurried record, whether and to what extent the district court’s “necessary for safety and security” exception addresses Defendants’ claims of irreparable harm..We thus remand” to District Court to clarify.

A big thanks to @ianbassin.bsky.social for the shoutout for Democracy Docket!
Let’s be serious: the people in charge of this administration are not interested in merit.
They've overruled the merit process to block the promotion of Black military officers - and lavish favors on people who can pay dues at Trump's private clubs or write big checks to his ballroom project.
Trump floated mass pardons for insiders, a top Democrat is calling for a cognitive exam, inflation just surged to its highest level in months, and global tensions with Iran are intensifying.
Meanwhile, Eric Swalwell’s campaign is in turmoil with top allies resigning amid serious allegations. 👇

The issue is not whether Trump will be forced from office — his toadies for now will make sure that doesn't happen — but whether he should be. Ds who make the case that Trump has irreversibly revealed his unfitness to lead do the country and our democracy a service open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
Doesn't seem like he has any clue what is going on, does it?
"With her gray-streaked hair and lack of visible cosmetic enhancements, Vance might not look like your average MAGA acolyte. But politically speaking, she is all in."

Just a reminder that Congressional Republicans are gross enablers of Trump’s chaos.
Pamela Jo Bondi gets the boot and lobs lame excuses to run from her sworn deposition over the Epstein Files.
I've got the latest details including why Bondi can’t legally hide from answering questions.

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf says the U.S. has already violated key clauses of Iran’s 10-point framework before negotiations even begin — citing Lebanon ceasefire breaches, a drone incursion, and denial of enrichment rights.
He calls talks “unreasonable” under current conditions. 1/
We can’t ignore Trump’s threat to blow up “a whole civilization” just because 🌮. It shows Trump truly believes he is above the law. It is time for lawmakers, including the Republicans who decried his threats, to stop him from ever doing it again. My column:
