Rep. Jim McGovern in a suit outside a government building. Overlaid text shows a question about Kash Patel’s drinking, followed by McGovern saying Patel was already a national security concern and a dangerous head of the FBI.
A sitting member of Congress called the head of the FBI a national security concern.
And he’s still in charge.

The interesting thing about the current dynamic is that Trump said he would extend the ceasefire indefinitely, and Iran’s response was basically “fuck you, we’re winning”
They also threatened retaliation for any more vessels seized… which we just did.
www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/w... Gift Article. This "activity" flew mostly under radar b/c of chaos of the Trump Admin. Trying to boost Orbon is just the tip of iceberg. @abc7ny.bsky.social @cbsnews.com @nbcnews.com @msnowreports.bsky.social @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @cnn.com @npr.org @pbsnews.org

Young, old, drunk, stoned, stupid, evil
The entire administration is a train wreck
Tuesday is THE LAST DAY Virginians can vote on redistricting. If you haven't yet, please make the time! And vote yes too, please.
Absolute meltdown from Kash Patel in the middle of this press conference. Guy is screaming at reporters and sweating through his suit. Why hasn't Donald Trump fired this clown yet?
Money for everyone but Americans. Meanwhile you get cuts to programs and higher gas prices.
Living in a nursing home shouldn’t mean giving up everyday freedoms.
I just signed a bill allowing seniors living in nursing homes to consume alcohol - so that everyone can enjoy happy hour!
www.threads.com/@osteoanalys.... The MAGAts are at it again. They flipped out: they found out Elmo of Sesame Street had learned a few Arab words. They doubled down and got really nasty. Why?They must hate change so much, because they fear it?You can't fix stupid. Stupid people seem to hate change.
x.com/i/status/204.... Thank you, @levin.house.gov for elevating this. From a U.S. law standpoint, Orbon should not have been funding CPAC, and CPAC should not have accepted the funds.
This is as good as everyone's saying it is. The anti-corruption message is a good one, imo
The reason Trump pressured Republican led states to redraw their election maps without voter approval is because he knows his policies are unpopular. He knows Republicans will lose without map rigging. Virginia can vote YES for fair maps to stop him tomorrow. #VoteYesVirginia
TOMORROW Virginia can STOP TRUMP from rigging the November Midterms! #VoteYesVirginia for free and fair elections and STOP THE STEAL! 🇺🇸💙🌊
Make it make sense.
A poster that reads, “Believing a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican.”
NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK
Believing a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican.
Tomorrow, I’ll post a reminder to the GOP about book bans and censorship :-)}
After these four companies settled with Trump in his shakedown lawsuits, the money was pledged to his presidential library. But the fund was then dissolved. Senate Dems asked the companies where the money went. They have now replied. I've obtained their answers:

When I am Governor — if you start chasing people, including U.S. citizens, we get to come after you.
Cross that line in California and we will investigate you. We will arrest you. And we will prosecute you.
He killed 8 children, 7 of his own children. My heart is broken for these mothers and I’m so fucking angry that Moses Mike rapture fucking Johnson thinks thoughts and prayers are enough.
Johnson is against gun laws and is a member of the NRA.
Biggs really turned her brain off when she said this .... @cnn.com @cnnipr.bsky.social @cnnee
And also just happen to be a major business partner of the Trump family. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Given that "logic" Trump should have had a similar fate, decades ago.
1. As Jared Kushner heads to Pakistan to represent the United States in critical talks with Iran, the media is ignoring a historic corruption scandal.
Kushner is serving in this role while on the payroll of the Saudi government.
Let's look at the data.

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United.
No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed.
Here's how it works. https://youtu.be/p1fPbGHe3xE?si=QZRQImV8KYD5Y90r
The lawsuit is the latest instance of a Trump administration figure suing a media outlet.
Let it proceed. Put this incompetent fool under oath and perjure himself.
FBI's Patel sues Atlantic for $250M, says story about drinking is false.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
