Vehemently anti-trump. Dem husband became early trumpist, so I turned to Twitter. Healthcare, choice, dogs, environment, food, the arts, chronic pain.

"Ballroom welcomes everyone. To the 12-year-old kid who doesn't fit in who might be watching this on a television in their bedroom with the volume turned low, come find your home at the Jellicle Ball. Ballroom is about chosen family. "

—Zhailon Levingston and Bill Rauch after winning Best Direction for a Musical for Cats: The Jellicle Ball

lol Julia Louis-Dreyfus is so funny

Julia: Extraordinarily, these plays were all brilliantly written by AI.

Lily Rabe: No. No, they weren't...

Julia: Okay, well, you can applaud and hoot and holler as much as you want, but that's not what ChatGPT told me.

Trump: "I don't consider them in danger."

Well, they are in danger. In fact, I'm told DOD is giving--as they should!--many troops in the Iran theater Imminent Danger Pay or Hostile Fire Pay. I'd welcome more information on this from ex-military, defense correspondents, etc.

@SusieWiles47 What are you so proud of

[Power to the People ☭🕊 @ProudSocialist]

We desperately need class consciousness in the U.S.

Class consciousness is not telling people to vote for the blue or red ruling class parties.

It is educating people that both parties serve the billionaire class, which is why workers need to build our own power to fight back.

Ivanka Trump with those most tone deaf interview of all time.

Epstein Island 2.0 or WW3 Bunker?

Nah but seriously, flexing on us by purchasing a big ass island while big daddy Donald Trump causes an energy crisis is insane. 💀

[Niall Stanage @NiallStanage]

This is a devastating interview.

Scott Pelley tells the NYT that Bari Weiss directly put a “thumb on the scale” for Trump over the killing of Renee Good.

Here’s his explanation of exactly what happened.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

A man calls into Fox News and tells Jeanine Pirro that Trump isn’t making America Great Again he’s Making America Hate Again and he’s tired of it and she should be ashamed of herself because she was once a Judge and knows better than to allow this to keep happening.

[Jeff Merkley @JeffMerkley]

Democrats introduced amendment after amendment to redirect funds to help families across the country as the cost of health care, housing, and child care skyrocket.

Republicans rejected them all.

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

Samuel Alito’s son has worked as a lawyer inside Trump’s Treasury Department since early last year. The administration hid it.

No public resume, no LinkedIn, no mention on the Treasury website, outdated bar listings. Four former officials confirmed it.

The public was never told.

Here is why that matters.

Philip Alito served as an attorney-adviser in Treasury’s general counsel office, briefed on department matters across the board, while the Supreme Court took up a case in which the Treasury Department was a named defendant.

The department never disclosed the connection in court.

Justice Alito did not recuse.

The federal recusal law is plain. A justice must step aside in any case where his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

That is the test.

Not whether anyone can prove influence but whether a reasonable person looking at this would doubt it. A justice ruling on cases involving the very agency that employs his son fails that test on its face.

And Treasury sits at the center of many upcoming issues, including the fight over Trump’s $1.776 billion dollar fund to reward the January 6th rioters he pardoned. That fight could be headed to the Court too.

This is exactly why the honor system has failed.

The Supreme Court is the only court in America with no enforceable code of conduct. I support withholding funding from the Court until the justices adopt a binding code with real recusal review.

Congress holds the power of the purse.

We should use it.

Trump has just destroyed the US beef industry. No country in their right mind is going to import US beef.

After Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs, the dangerous flesh-eating parasite has been found in US cattle for the first time since 1966.
