🚨Holy shit. Someone made a new ad for Trump’s ballroom and it’s absolutely perfect. Trump would hate if this went viral…

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off. https://t.co/ILKrYxCeLB

🚨NEW: Harvard University President Alan Garber has rejected the Trump Admin's demand to prohibit protests and cut DEI programs to receive funding: "[Harvard] will not negotiate over its independence or constitutional rights."

RETWEET to thank Garber for standing up to Trump!

@AOC Hey @AOC , if you are interested in working together on this, let me know!

I’ve written the original reports on Congressional trading and bans, as well as highlighted the unusual activity today:

[gh0stn 🦍 @_gh0stn]

Rep Marjorie Taylor Green bought 275,000$ worth of stocks from APPLE NIKE ect, all companies that depend on Chinese manufacturing before the announcement 🤣🤣🤣 you should look into that, she’ll probably disclose at the end of her 30 day window when all of this blows over to avoid scrutiny.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Any member of Congress who purchased stocks in the last 48 hours should probably disclose that now.

I’ve been hearing some interesting chatter on the floor.

Disclosure deadline is May 15th. We’re about to learn a few things.

It’s time to ban insider trading in Congress.

Today, while the market collapsed and four soldiers who died on an exercise in Lithuania arrived at Dover, where was Donald Trump? Was he monitoring the markets? Was he there for the arrival of these heroes?

Nope: he was golfing, with the Saudis

Drop a 💙 if you’re proud to have voted for her

[Lucas Sanders 👊🏽🔥🇺🇸 @LucasSa56947288]

Drop a 💙 if you stand with Jeffrey Goldberg.

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING LEAK:

Mike Waltz—the guy who let Jeffrey Goldberg into the Signal chat—also had his Venmo contacts set to public.
When the press reached out, he deleted them immediately.

Here’s the list before he wiped it. These are people Waltz had saved in his phone.

Yet another reckless security lapse.

They were both right.

About everything.

Elon Musk, at the behest of President Trump, is now on the warpath against the working families of our country.

Saving money by illegally and unconstitutionally dismantling the Dept. of Education so that the billionaire class can get bigger tax breaks is morally reprehensible.

[rolandsmartin @rolandsmartin]

Let’s be real clear: Donald Trump has fired Gen. C.Q. Brown as chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff because he is a Black man. They DO NOT want Black people on high-ranking positions. He and Pete Hegseth claims Brown, only the 2nd African American to ever hold the position, was too focused on diversity. This administration is all about white heterosexual conservative men. PERIOD.

Tell me again how the message wasn’t “plain spoken” enough, but first watch this video

[Mark Horvath @hardlynormal]

The unintended consequences are in six months there’s going to be tens of thousands of people who are unemployed and unemployable

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

RFK Jr. is disqualified, dangerous, and cannot be given the power to make critical health care decisions for millions of Americans.

I'm headed to the floor to put up a fight against his nomination.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected.

$196 billion for three men in 99 days.

Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Oligarchs are waging a war on the working class, and they are intent on winning.

But this is what I know:

The worst fear that the ruling class in this country has is that Americans come together to demand a government that represents all of us, not just the wealthy few.
