I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

I think Twitter is down again.

We have lost mainstream media.

Murphy: "The president is continuing to act unconstitutionally. He shut down some of our most important programs that protect us abroad, like Radio Free Europe, that were funded & authorized in that spending bill. So it doesn't seem like we have restrained any of the president's lawlessness."

Step Down Schumer

It gets worse. Schumer isn’t just going on a book tour—he’s charging for tickets.

Absolute insanity. While Americans are scared and in crisis mode, he’s basically saying, let them eat cake.

@schumer.senate.gov Step Down.

I remember when Schumer refused to bring the Military Justice Improvement Act to the floor. It had 66 yes votes. I never got an answer as to why. They ended up watering it down and folding it into the NDAA.

What will your legacy be?

Very interesting read. Thank you.

Never thought I’d be on the same side as hackers, but here we are.

This is a violation of HIPPA.

Here, not sure if other states are doing the same

Over texts and ‘eyeball to eyeball,’ Republicans succeed in persuading Musk. But Democrats hit dead ends | CNN Politics When a multi-million federal grant program for dairy businesses was shut down earlier this month in line with Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency push to downsize the government, Wisconsin...

this entire article is an argument for dems to refuse to lift a single fucking finger to help republicans pass a dirty CR. if congressional republicans can go straight to musk to get relief for their districts but congressional democrats can't, then there's absolutely no reason to help, at all.

There’s a special place in hell for Little Marco.

Doing my happy dance.

X down: Twitter not working amid major outage X has gone down in what appears to be a major and global outage.

Elon’s rockets explode, Twitter crashes and his stock is imploding. But you won’t hear that on his website, it’s down globally.

This is vile.

Congratulations!

Today is my first day at @thebulwark.bsky.social! Send tips to sommer -at- thebulwark.com or DM me here, newsletter coming soon.

I think it’s a push between Putin and Musk for most hated.

X error message, "Something went wrong. Try reloading."

Went to "X" for some schadenfreude over the plunge in Tesla stock and it seems X is doing about as well as Tesla and SpaceX.

Masterful gambit, sir.

Is anyone questioning if this is market manipulation?

Best news I’ve heard today!

I think he doesn’t want people posting about his shitty stock in rapid decent.

Needed this today!

Hey, look at that--the Musk/Trump Administration really *IS* bringing prices down!

Harvard pauses hiring amid ‘financial uncertainties’ under Trump The university’s pause on faculty and staff hiring comes after the Trump administration pulled $400 million worth of grants and contracts at Columbia University on Friday.

Harvard University announced a temporary hiring freeze Monday, citing “substantial financial uncertainties” as colleges and universities face widespread scrutiny of their federal funds by Trump.

Last year, Harvard's endowment had $53.2 billion, so this is big. www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

KNOXVILLE — @RepTimBurchett popping his head up. Maybe folks should go ask him why he voted to cut a trillion dollars out of Medicaid to pave the way for trillions in tax cuts for the rich, increasing the debt he pretends to care about

(when he says he didn’t he is lying)

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

Translation: “I want a dynamic country that funnels your tax dollars to my rich friends.”
