Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you

AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not?

Palmer: I strike those words

If that’s what they do to a United States Senator with a question, imagine what they can do to any American that dares to speak up. We will hold this administration accountable.

The fun thing about being a Black queer AFAB in theoretical physics is I am extremely used to people announcing that they don’t understand by declaring that the person they don’t understand must be an idiot

Maybe voting for guy who was a complete disaster last time was a mistake?

He’s a disaster for everyone but Putin.
Ask yourself why.
He needs to destroy it all for two reasons.
1. He works for Putin, it started in the 80’s. It’s documented. Russia is the only country not on the tariff list.
2. When it’s totally destroyed he’ll claim “ Only I can fix it”
Be ready

Michael Waltz had TWENTY group chats exposing America's most sensitive military secrets??!!?

Sounds like we need TWENTY articles of impeachment to remove Waltz from office

Great point listening to a talk by @timothysnyder.bsky.social: U.S. is making itself and its allies less powerful, which increases Russia’s relative power and influence, and brings about the multipolar world that it wants

Climate crisis on track to destroy capitalism, warns top insurer Action urgently needed to save the conditions under which markets – and civilisation itself – can operate, says senior Allianz figure

The world’s largest insurance company is warning that home insurance won’t survive runaway climate change. No home insurance, no mortgages. No mortgages, no home ownership for working people, no middle class. What is Trump doing about this? Bringing it on faster. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

How Much Does America Spend? (Gift Article) We explore what federal government spends its money on.

Useful quick overview of federal spending, showing why slashing the federal workforce--only 4 percent of spending--won't make a dent in the deficit. Ignore the takeaway about "expensive" programs, though. We just need to pay for them, especially by taxing billionaires www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/b...

Trump Tariff Aid To Farmers Cost More Than U.S. Nuclear Forces The $28 billion for farmers raises questions about using taxpayer money to shield policymakers from the consequences of tariff increases.

I’ll never get over how softly media carried the insane bailouts WE paid to farmers to cover the catastrophe of his first term tariffs. It didn’t get emphasized in debates or in response to his campaign tariff threat.HE TRIED THIS ALREADY. We paid. Remember? From 2020. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

Mike Johnson threw a tantrum after losing a vote to let parents work and parent—because nothing terrifies MAGA more than women having power. This is Project 2025 in action: shove women out of politics, kill work-from-home, and drag America back to 1953. The goal isn’t order—it’s obedience.

🚨UPDATE: Rümeysa Öztürk has now suffered three separate asthma attacks while in DHS custody.

She has not received her required asthma medications—a violation of her fundamental right to medical care.

This is cruelty, it is neglect, and it is a damning moral and legal failure.

This is going to be a fascinating experiment in policy feedback - it’s very clear that the link between real world material policy and political views has been greatly weakened. But to what extent, and how bad do things need to get to break through the media environments? We’ll see…

Conservative Group Asks Law Firms for Free Help, Noting Trump’s Attacks A Heritage Foundation-linked group is seeking to leverage President Donald Trump’s torrent of executive actions against law firms to get free legal help for conservative causes.

The Oversight Project last week wrote several major law firms suggesting they provide pro bono work worth $10 million to the group and its “center-right” allies to avoid scrutiny from the White House

It is hard to express, without resorting to expletives, how utterly stupid it is to suggest that the United States, world's richest economy with a population of 334 million, should have a bilateral trade balance of zero (no trade surplus, no trade deficit) with every country in the world.
