Look at this chart.

Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice.

States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich).

I hope Gov. Hochul does.

When I chose this silly name I thought it would make people laugh, I never expected it to confuse a vast subset of slack-jawed MAGA Republicans. I am NOT the actor Liam Neeson. Jesus you people are dumber than fucking landscaping rocks.

And .. here come the Freedom of Information Act requests for Kash Patel records

DC watchdog group Democracy Forward has formally requested Patel's calendars & any messages from security detail that include words "drinking", "hungover", "inebriated"

The post includes a split image of Governor Tim Walz smiling outdoors and an aerial view of the Minneapolis skyline along a river.

Blue governing leads the way.

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Those who served overseas fought so we’d get to choose our leaders—not the other way around. ⚔️
TODAY, April 21, 6am-7pm, we finish that fight.
Vote YES for maps politicians can’t manipulate & honor our veterans’ sacrifices.

Opinion | Measles Took My Daughter. This Is What I Want Everyone to Know.

“What I didn’t know was that measles can cause long-term complications. A child can seem fine while the virus slowly replicates in her brain… Because both Britain and the United States are confronting outbreaks, I am sharing my story. Parents should know just how dangerous this disease is.”

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.”

I noted the day of the SCOTUS decision that JB Pritzker IMMEDIATELY moved to make this point, by demanding a refund for IL. And State refunds may be the best way to politicize how Trump created the worst of all worlds. But Elizabeth Warren is, predictably, focused on it as well.

Author @gilduran.com was just banned from “free speech absolutist” twitter for criticizing the Palantir CEO’s manifesto— so here’s his upcoming book: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

Ossof for president. Interesting part of this biography is that: he was:

'Mentored by civil rights legend Congressman John Lewis, Sen. Ossoff previously led a small business that produced investigative journalism exposing war crimes, public corruption, human trafficking, and organized crime'. 👍

Some progressives & Democrats need to stop justifying refusing to vote or 3rd party voting by saying Biden "didn't do anything."

He did a whole damn lot. Facts matter. And so does a young liberal SCOTUS justice who will protect civil rights for decades.

Spaceballs: The New One YouTube video by Amazon MGM Studios

Rick Moranis coming out of retirement to make Spaceballs 2 should be bigger news than it is imo

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.

It was worth it.

Maybe 🤔, just maybe, we shouldn’t allow drunks, idiots, and dementia patients to be in charge of our country.

Trump 'blocked from accessing nuclear codes' by head of US military US President Donald Trump is alleged to have received push-back from a senior military person in a meeting at the White House during an attempt to access his country's nuclear codes

Allegedly tRump tried to grab the nuclear codes in a White House meltdown—only for the Joint Chiefs chairman to stand up and say “No.” Apparently, even the military knows this unhinged man is too dangerous for the football. How much longer can America risk it?

Sadly for him his mask-off racism has dried up much of the cash. Raggedy Andy’s down bad in the money department. 😕 💰

@marcelias.bsky.social is right.

We can't let up, not even for a moment, until the job is done.

✅️Impeach.
✅️Convict.
✅️Save Democracy.

I will be on @maddow.bsky.social’s show tonight to talk about InfoWars. Unlike the site’s current proprietor, I am not presently shirtless.

For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.
