Yet again I remind everyone (as Elizabeth does in her very next tweet) that "foreigners are corrupting our pure blood with weakness & disease" is Fascism 101. Not some variant, not some metaphorically similar thing, not some echo -- the thing itself.
Warren does at one point single out Epstein, but the full question is nuts: Warsh didn’t disclose $100 million hidden behind entities he owns, so are any of those assets owned by the Trump family or the Chinese government, have any of them facilitated money laundering, any set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
Sen. Kennedy to Warsh: "My worry is that a lot of this stuff about artificial intelligence making us more productive is a bunch of hype by people who want to sell stock and an IPO. I'd be careful there."
Text of the Senate GOP budget resolution is out. It calls for $70 bn more for DHS, to fund ICE and Border Patrol with no additional restraints through the end of Trump's term.
As expected, it does not call for offsetting cuts to the social safety net. Republicans are seeking those in a later bill.
Jesus christ these people are dumb and evil
That would be a Yes
New in PN: Speaker Johnson's beginning of the end
"Johnson has such a small majority he can’t afford to alienate anybody, & he has nonetheless managed to alienate everybody. The coming months will be brutal for him & are likely to end w/his speakership destroyed in a humiliating, titanic blue wave"
"It'll hurt them. It'll hurt them militarily" -- Joe Kernen gives Trump a chance to say he doesn't actually want to commit war crimes in Iran, but Trump doesn't really take it
Insane man.
it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit
Figure showing number of competitive grants mentioning women from 2015-2025. The number was rising until recently, with a precipitous drop in the last year.
At the end of 2024, the National Academies put out a report concluding the NIH has woefully underfunded women’s health research, and they suggested $15 B should be invested over the next 5 years.
Here’s what’s happened instead. Hard to study women’s health if you can’t say “women.”

The reason firms forced people to go back to the office after COVID was because real estate/leasing costs and mgmt wanted to see butts in seats. Now #Deloitte wants to remove those butts in seats? LOL. GOOD LUCK GETTING MDs/Partners to work harder with less! www.businessinsider.com/deloitte-zoo...
You should ABSOLUTELY walk out of your job at #DELOITTE on Friday, May 1st because fuck these slavers. www.goingconcern.com/deloitte-to-...
Problem: White House is concerned by reports that several men in the cabinet are drinking on the job.
Solution:
The Democrats are doing everything possible to hurt the very strong position we are in with respect to Iran. Despite World War I lasting 4 years, 3 months, and 14 days, World War II lasting 6 years and 1 day, the Korean War lasting 3 years, 1 month, and 2 days, the Vietnam War lasting 19 years, 5 months, and 29 days, and Iraq lasting 8 years, 8 months, and 28 days, they like to say that I promised 6 weeks to defeat Iran, and actually, from the Military standpoint, it was far faster than that, but I’m not going to let them rush the United States into making a Deal that is not as good as it could have been. I read the Fake News saying that I am under “pressure” to make a Deal. THIS IS NOT TRUE! I am under no pressure whatsoever, although, it will all happen, relatively quickly! Time is not my adversary, the only thing that matters is that we finally, after 47 years, straighten out the MESS that other Presidents let happen because they didn’t have the Courage or Foresight to do what had to be done with respect to Iran. We’re in it, and it will be done RIGHT, and we won’t let the Weak and Pathetic Democrats, TRAITORS ALL, who for years have been talking about the Dangers of Iran, and that something has to be done, but now, since I’m the one doing it, belittle the accomplishments of our Military and the Trump Administration. This is being perfectly executed, on the scale of Venezuela, just a bigger, more complex operation. The result will be the same. In my First Term, I built the Greatest Military our Country has ever seen, including adding Space Force. In my Second Term, I am properly and judiciously using our Military to solve problems left to us by others of far less understanding or competence. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DONALD J. TRUMP
lol he's having a war meltdown
Mass surveillance company Palantir just demanded mandatory US military service in a newly published manifesto.
Palantir is also currently the recipient of roughly $2.4B worth of military contracts.
I mean…at least put on some of those swirly hypnotizing glasses, my dude. Nobody’s buying this nonsense.
This is fascism.
Youtube comment: @ScotClose • 3 hours ago I'm disappointed that you blocked me on Bluesky for trying to bring some real skepticism to this topic after you strongly implied that Platner is a Nazi and ridiculed people for asking for evidence. If you're only a skeptic about topics you disagree with, are you really a skeptic? Reply 0 replies ^ Graham Platner is an Embarrassing Liar WE @RebeccaWatson • O seconds ago I'm not shocked that a man who openly defends an obvious liar with a Nazi tattoo is also apoplectic that the woman he was yelling at opted out of a conversation with him. This is psychotic behavior and you should see a therapist.
PSA: never in the history of humanity has a woman cut a man out of her life for being insane and then changed her opinion of him after he found other methods to contact her.

Joe diGenova, an election denier and former Trump lawyer, will now lead the Russia conspiracy investigation after career prosecutor is removed. They aren’t even trying to make this look legitimate anymore. 🤦🏻♀️

Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants.
He says DOJ is damaging its credibility with the courts by trying to shield ICE from scrutiny. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
What you have to understand is that the United States started a war, almost immediately lost it, then began the laborious process of negotiating against itself, and is now settling into the secondary denial phase …
The @nytimes.com are complicit in genocide and terrorism. And have been for quite awhile.
The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.
We're not a rich country. We're a country with a lot of rich people in it. A rich country would work to the benefit of all its citizens.
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a video address released Sunday that Canada's strong economic ties to the United States were once a strength but are now a weakness that must be corrected. https://to.pbs.org/4tf50lM
