But he had bone spurs so he was forced to miss it. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The most fundamental disconnect between MAGA and everyone else is that we believe everything Trump does is about promoting, enriching and empowering himself because he’s a greedy malignant narcissist, and they believe he actually cares about other people and is primarily motivated by that.

Virginia, go out and vote YES today.

Fight fire with fire and take on MAGA's power grab.

Did my part.

This is amazing.

CHRIS WRIGHT: Energy prices are still well lower than they were in middle of the Biden adminis--

CANTWELL: I want to stop you right there. There is nobody in the Northwest who thinks that. Not when they wake up & airline flights are being canceled because of high fuel costs. No one thinks it's okay

Washington Examiner: Imagine it was someone other than President Donald Trump. Suppose a different leader were posting deranged rants in the small hours, insulting the spiritual leader of 1.3 billion Catholics, threatening entire civilizations with annihilation, and comparing himself to God. What would be the reaction?

The criminalization of dissent has made groups more cowardly and limited in their response to Trump, AND STILL he comes for them

Maybe this will clear up the apparent yes/no confusion among VA voters!

Syrian Billionaires Needed a Favor in Washington. They Invoked the Trump Name.

Yesterday I was talking to a Hungarian friend about how she hopes the new government claws back the billions grifted by Orban while in office.

We’re going to need the same thing here. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/u...

MAGA Rep. Threatened to Call Pam Bondi to Block His Own Arrest Washington police attempted to arrest Representative Cory Mills for alleged assault.

This guy also needs to resign, but MAGA isn't pushing it because it will lose them the last vote they need for a 218 majority in the House.

Trump Attacks the Pope for His Old Tweets I read the Pope's entire Twitter history, and here's what I found

All this just makes me like the Pope more, TBH. Long record of anti-racism and support for social justice.

"If you're looking for a Democrat who is going to fight Donald Trump and stand up for the Democratic Party, and from the fight wing of the Democratic Party, which I'm proudly from, you've gotta support this guy, George Conway."

@marcelias.bsky.social, the great Democratic legal fighter for democracy, on me:

"We need more people like this guy in Congress…This guy's a fighter. And he's not just saying he's a fighter, he's got the receipts, because he has gone toe-to-toe with Donald Trump and the Republicans for years now...

Watching Sen. Warren questioning Trump's Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh. In response to if he disagrees with Trump on anything Warsh gives a cutsie answer about not being "central casting". What a jerk.

www.c-span.org/event/senate...

Sen. Warren calls out Trump for trying to tear down the Fed's independence — claiming he's doing so because "he wants the Fed to use monetary policies to artificially juice the economy in the short term" before the midterms.

She says Fed pick Kevin Warsh "is uniquely ill-suited for the job."

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

ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?

KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve

WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question

WARSH: I believe this body certified the election

WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking

Tim Cook personally donated $1 million to Trump’s inaugural committee, and we all know where that money went.

You know, government can operate simply to make the lives of its constituents better.

Imagine that.

Today's the day, Virginia. Vote to save democracy. Vote yes.

CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks

“It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”

- Harry Truman

As Trump proves often, the reverse of this is also true.

It’s amazing how much you can fuck things up when the only thing you care about is getting the credit.

Peace Talks Day is off to a great start.
