Let me get this straight: Bari Weiss has radically edited the new Trump interview on 60 Minutes? Let's not forget that Weiss lost her mind over standard editing of a Kamala Harris interview in 2024. But as Juliet shows, this Trump editing goes way beyond standard broadcast practices. Good grief.

This is now the new MAGA loyalty test. You've got to agree that 2020 election was stolen (it wasn't) and that the White House needs a new ballroom (it doesn't).

A response to recent reporting in Germany, in service of clarity and accountability: First, it’s important to be precise when it comes to critical infrastructure like Signal. Signal was not “hacked” — in that our encryption, infrastructure, & the integrity of the app’s code was not compromised. 1/

Daily Beast: Acting AG Todd Blanche is being sued in federal court in Washington DC, by lawyer and political commentator, Katie Phang, for failing to release the Epstein files. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Irish Star: Trump is estimated to have cost U.S. taxpayers a whopping $144 million in golfing excursions since his return to office in January 2025, almost equaling the entire sum of his first term in the White House. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Children shouldn’t use AI until they understand what it is and what it isn’t. It’s being integrated as if it’s a learning tool, when it’s really a productivity tool. Children need to build thinking before outsourcing parts of thinking. Tech literacy before tech dependence.

"We'll show THEM with our stupidity!"

And RFK, Jr said, “Absolutely not! We don’t get shots.”

Moneywise: The US Treasury is now accepting voluntary public contributions to help reduce the national debt, which has reached $39 trillion. If only there was a way to make rich people pay their fair share of taxes to help shrink the deficit. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

FLORIDA - pay attention! DeSantis’s proposed maps have been released. And they make the state almost entirely red. Before you say, but Virginia, that was an empowerment decided by the people via a vote. This is a decree. #StopIllegalFloridaMaps floridapolitics.com/archives/793...

Sexual assault predators & their enablers are walking freely throughout our Government & the Powerful Elite Don’t let them distract us from them Epstein files.

Trump started this gerrymandering fight. Dem's voted for the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to END gerrymandering nationwide. EVERY single Republican voted NO. Dem's still want fair map. The question is, do Republican's want fair elections or just safe seats for themselves?

As the day begins, here’s a reminder for every soul doing their best in ways the world may never see. Your effort matters. Your presence matters. Your light matters. Let this morning wrap around you like a soft breath of grace. #Jaye’sMorningLight

SNAP recipients are currently unable to purchase hot foods with their benefits. So we make hard working single parents have to cook food after a long day of work. That can change. A rotisserie chicken serves us for about 4 days. It could be a healthy benefit to struggling families.

Who does this remind you of? “Former staffers of Tom Steyer's failed presidential campaign filed a lawsuit accusing the Democratic billionaire of violating their labor rights, state filings show.”

GA voters: Early voting starts today, 4/27! Election Day is 5/19. The court’s future is on the ballot. Protect your rights and choose change. @jenjordanga.bsky.social & Miracle Rankin are endorsed by Planned Parenthood & Repro Freedom For All. Vote for freedom. #GaPol

AI is dangerous, yet the Sultan of Spray Tans thought it proper to sign an EO prohibiting States from enacting or enforcing their own restrictive regulations. *Heavy sigh* 😔

1/ The "One Big Beautiful Bill" just turned our nursing homes into a profit-first free-for-all. With $911 billion in Medicaid cuts & a 10-year freeze on staffing rules, the golden years are looking a lot more like a nightmare.This is the GOP war on aging #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

Women's rights are being rolled back in our country. Pay attention and fight back!

I expect Donald Trump to be impeached. I do not want Donald Trump impeached on the first day after the new Congress is sworn in. If you listen to what Hakeem Jeffries is saying, that's ALL he's saying. There have to be investigations. Those investigations WILL happen under Speaker Jeffries.

1/ Your grocery bill is about to get much worse. Between a 46 percent surge in bankruptcies and a total labor disaster at meatpacking plants, our food supply chain is hitting a breaking point. This isn't just a farmer problem. It is an everyone problem. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

1/ When we talk about the "One Big Beautiful Bill" cutting $1 trillion from Medicaid, the number is so big it feels fake. But it’s not fake when your grandma gets a notice that her nursing home is closing its doors bcuz funding dried up.That is reality of a budget cut #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Led by Bennet, in an effort to unite !sr&l & unseat Net-a-yahoo, former Prime Ministers Naftali Bennett & Yair Lapid plan to merge their (center & right) parties If elected, on day 1, a state commission of inquiry into the Oct. 7, 2023 attack would be established, an issue that has dogged Bibi

Yes. This ALONE makes it suspicious. 30 minutes after? #USDemocracy

Melania has no idea how free speech works. The same amendment that allows her husband to lie about everything from Epstein to Iran also lets people make fun of her and her thin skinned husband. No one asked her to move to the US. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/ArGZLNnetRn6...

🗣️Say it louder for the people in the back: “There is only one party in America trying to censor and control the press.”

Ah yes…. For all of 🍊💩’s bluster, the leaders of the rest of the world are more than tired of it. Glad to hear that they are finally speaking out. Iran is playing the long game. 🍊💩 is playing the money game.

Totally normal: President’s son lands $24M government contract, goes on friendly TV to celebrate it, and nobody even blinks. Imagine if this were anyone else’s family! The Trump clan isn’t even pretending anymore. #Corruption #USDemocracy #Pinks 👇 apple.news/AvjeedcmAR76...

I'm sorry, but the people who spent their Social Media time here targeting Hakeem Jeffries are just racist AF. Yeah, I know y'all claim to be Progressive and all, but you're holding him to a different standard than his white predecessors. That is racism. Period.

Trump said he was WAITING for her to read those words, but rather than having an answer that did not implicate himself, he implicated himself. He knew who the shooter was talking about, & attacked her just for reading it. He says SHE should be ashamed for reading it! If only he could feel shame.

1/ Imagine living in a town where only emergency room for 50 miles just shuts its doors forever. It is not a horror movie plot; it is the reality for 446 hospitals right now. A massive $911 billion budget cut is turning safety net care into a ghost town. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

You've seen the coordinated messages from MAGA influencers about that #Ballroom, right? But also how the MAGAverse carpets the world with almost identical messages. Well, Ashley St. Clair (ex-MAGA, ex-Musk) explains how they do it. Dems: take note. Video in 5 parts (link to TT: shorturl.at/EbtbK)

Republicans now want the $400mil to fund Trumps Ballroom! Am I wrong or was this supposed to be privately funded?

Lead by David Stevens. “To solve the problem of financing social security in the coming decade the Republican solution is to have people work longer or to privatize social security. Both are designed to benefit private employers not retiring workers.” #Pinks #MomSky www.nybooks.com/articles/202...

😂🤣😂

Mark is spot on: "...it’s not as if White House reporters were tough on Trump before the shooting. They frequently treat his comments with wide-eyed gullibility, even though he’s the most prominent public liar of our time. They regularly normalize and sanewash his unhinged behavior."

Trump called 60 Minutes journalists ‘horrible people’ for reading a shooter’s manifesto which called him a ‘pedophile, rapist, and traitor. His defense: ‘I’m not a rapist.’ A judge & jury disagreed in 2023 and the Epstein files are still buried. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/A5U6tGHg3Rpe...

Melania wants Kimmel fired for “hateful, violent rhetoric” …while standing by silently as Trump dishes out hateful, violent rhetoric daily. He never stops! Kimmel made a widow joke. They just can’t take one. #FreeSpeech #1stAmendment #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AyoWoCIPATPq...

🧵1 Mike Johnson raved about the 7-inch bullet-proof glass going into Trump’s planned ballroom. Problem solved, he said. American children practice dying every week. They crouch under desks. They learn to be silent. They run drills for the moment a gunman walks through their classroom door.

This administration stopped a Biden era ban on shock punishment for Autistic people These people suffer greatly in society. They are often treated horribly. Living as social outcasts. Often trapped, unable to communicate their needs. Save them from shocks! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I know that you are supposed to let shit roll off your back but he made it a personal attack on her. Lord almighty Norah! After you actually provided pushback, you then rolled over like a puppy dog showing how submissive it is.

DeSantis is against letting voters decide on gerrymandering FL Out of the 28 districts in FL, the map he’ll present this week to state lawmakers will increase Republican leaning districts from 20 to 24

Trump called for TX to add seats by redistricting. The voters weren’t involved. California and Virginia gave voters a say. Now in Florida, DeSantis is making the maps. Illegally according to the FL constitution. Trump can’t win a fair election! #StoplllegalFloridaMaps

Hey, Mr.-Not-A-Pedophile: To quote Shakespeare, "Me thinks he doth protest too much." You can't hide sex crimes with war crimes. You can't hide sex crimes. You can't hide. We see you. We don't forget and we don't forgive. You can't hide. Period. Full stop. #sheshed

Strategy is missing from the war on Iran Leadership is acting impulsively No viable plans Welcome to the current regime's ongoing behaviors newrepublic.com/post/209557/...

#ProudBlue #Resist Bravo to Katie Phang for suing Todd Blanche & holding the DOJ accountable! Enough time has passed since the deadline; the files should have been available by now w/ the names of victims’ (of sexual abuse) redacted & not the names of the perpetrators. You have many supporters.

The new ballroom will be the only truly safe place to hold events and must be built immediately! It’s imperative! It’s about safety! No other place is safe to hold an event like the White House Correspondents Dinner!… Secondly, the White House Correspondents Dinner must be rescheduled immediately!🤦🏻‍♂️

Seeking Alpha: The Iran war & the closure of the Strait of Hormuz has triggered the largest energy security threat in history. The disruption is driving inflation, threatening economic growth & risking fuel shortages. We all know who the threat is. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed #VoteOutRepublicans

Iran offers to reopen the Strait of Hormuz if the U.S. ends the blockade and the war. Meanwhile, oil prices spike and questions grow about who benefits. If Trump & his circle are profiting isn’t that a conflict of interest? End the standoff. #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AaEzo8s6OR2q...

William Boyle: “The private sector vs. public sector MYTH... "One key insight is to dispel the myth, pervasive in America and dangerously infective elsewhere, that the private sector does everything well and the public sector does everything poorly.” #Pinks evonomics.com/how-norway-d...

What "they" didn't do "nothing"? The Democrats launched an inquiry on Ukraine. They impeached him. Senate Republicans refused to vote for it. The Democrats launched an inquiry into J6. They impeached him. Senate Republicans voted it down. So...who is "they"??

Hey #SouthCarolina ! In #SpartanburgCounty there's an election tomorrow! 4/28/26 if you are in the City of #Inman, please vote for ➡️Dana Smith Morton⬅️ for City Council! Let's go! #BeAVoter!

You don't think Black people like me don't watch what you say about Black Electeds on Twitter and Social Media? We SAW how you treated Barack Obama when he was President. We SAW how you treated Kamala Harris during the Campaign. We're SEEING how you treat Hakeem Jeffries now.

I just paid my electric bill which is 200% of last year, with lower usage. Screw the fucking ballroom.

#ResistanceUnited The House Finance Committee has advanced a bill to gut the Corporate Transparency Act. It would roll out the red carpet for drug cartels, human traffickers, terrorists and enemy nations to use money laundering to fund their activities. thefactcoalition.org/hfsc-corpora...

John James finally revealed one of his campaign platforms as he runs for governor of Michigan. James says that he's ready to bring back "right-to-work", a controversial legislation that guts union finances and membership and makes workplaces more vulnerable to discrimination.

Hey, Mr.-Not-A-Pedophile: To quote Shakespeare, "Me thinks he doth protest too much." You can't hide sex crimes with war crimes. You can't hide sex crimes. You can't hide. We see you. We don't forget and we don't forgive. You can't hide. Period. Full stop.

One more reason to keep those immense protests going.

Kentucky voters have said they're unhappy with their U.S. senators. It's time to make a change. Charles Booker has a bold vision to address Kentucky's deepest challenges. He promises to fight for working people and build a better future for everyone. Elect Charles Booker U.S. Senate, Kentucky

Trump and the Republicans are desperate to retain control. They’ll do anything it takes. Trump called on TX to create additional seats by redistricting before the midterms. Dems countered with VOTER-approved maps. DeSantis is overriding voters for Trump. #StoplllegalFloridaMaps

If y’all could have heard the words coming out of my mouth when I saw this. Holy *bleep bleep* Raise your hand if you saw this coming 🙋🏻‍♀️ Lindsey and Katie Britt plan on introducing a bill that will give Trump $400 mil of our tax $ for his golden ballroom no one wanted. Wuttabout those donations?

King Charles and Queen Camilla are on a 4-day U.S. state visit…Washington D.C., New York, and Virginia on the agenda. Two major speeches. A state dinner. A garden party. And a whole lot of diplomatic tension in the background. 🇬🇧🇺🇸 #RoyalVisit #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AtoXEO1QZSHq...

America, you had a chance to send a Felon to jail, to ensure he paid for his crimes, to prevent him from doing more crimes and expanding his net of corruption and deceit. But you just couldn't stand the thought of a Black Lady in power. So this chaos is what you get. Enjoy.

Important context that gets lost in the day to day 'trump says' coverage:

Y'all don't remember I guess, but Pelosi SAID THE SAME THING back in 2018. There was a lot of pressure on her as well to Impeach the President and she said no, our priority was to begin investigations and hold this President to account. But y'all never said that was "disqualifying" for Nancy.

#ProudBlue #Resist #DACA ICYMI, in the last week, the DOJ won an appeal before the Board of Immigration Appeals which can be seen as setting a new precedent, that being a DACA recipient is not enough reason to provide relief from deportation. Read the details. www.npr.org/2026/04/25/n....

People used to tell me they felt bad that she was trapped in her marriage, that once (first term) he was out, she'd divorce him. I used to tell them: She is him, she supports everything he does, she volunteered for this, she gets something in return. No sympathy at ALL. She is him.👇🏼

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited #Pinks Good afternoon, friends! This is the only prize DonOLD deserves. Repost if you agree.

Dear Lindsey Graham we will change hands by our ballots and your sorry backside will be out of the Senate and you can go to FL with your BFF and play golf into eternity. SC voters, you know what to do! @drannieandrews.com should be the next SC Senator!

AI oversight just went over the cliff.

We're heading into another fight over redistricting. Let's just call it what it is: Gov. Ron DeSantis and Tallahassee Republicans are rigging our maps to control the outcome. They don't want fair elections for the voters. They want safe seats for themselves. We have to fight back.

#ProudBlue #Resist More DOJ bullshit!

I walked into the living room with a slightly dramatic entrance and realized there was no one there to gasp. AND THIS IS WHY I NEED A BALLROOM ‼️ Let’s have some fun! Feel free to comment on #ThisIsWhyINeedABallroom

Here’s a Kennedy who knows what they’re talking about! 👏

After firing a well respected London bureau chief, this is the person Bari Weiss hired to manage the CBS News international coverage. Someone involved in a sketchy Gaza story, someone fellow staffers wanted removed from the coverage. (From Semafor in Oct '24 ) Wow www.semafor.com/article/08/0...

Remember this every time the Ag Secty goes on TV to brag about SNAP cutbacks. They are knowingly taking food away from America's children...and they are proud of it.

Host: 2025 was the country's worst year for measles since it was declared eliminated in 2000. This year is on track to be even worse. Health experts say falling vaccination rates are a large factor. I would guess it’s the total cause!

When people start to realize that the oligarchs have been putting us against each other to enrich them, perhaps the tides will turn.

Mike Johnson is a Christian nationalist. Featured speaker at Trump’s Freedom 250 Rededicate 250 on May 17. “Rededicating our country as One Nation under God.” Christian nationalism is an extremist movement that justifies violence and oppression. Voters will remember.

Affordable, quality care shouldn’t be a dream — it should be the standard. Our community already faces significant health disparities driven by discrimination, poverty, and unequal access to healthcare services.

This is more urgent and deadly serious than people seem to realize.

“The media’s insistence that Trump’s critics are part of the problem gives cover to false equivalence — treating his lawlessness as one side of a legitimate debate.” - Marc Elias

Good on National Trust! 🤜🏼💥 I hate the fuckin ballroom as much as the proponent! 🤔 Almost!

"And yet, buried beneath all of it, one story refuses to die: the long, festering shadow of Jeffrey Epstein. No matter how loud the distractions get, Epstein doesn’t go away, because Epstein isn’t a distraction, he’s a pattern." -Michael Jochum

looking forward to the WASH POST editorial board weighing in on how this Florida effort is not a threat to democracy, just like in Texas....

🚨 May 1 is the deadline. Will this administration continue to break the law with this WAR ? Everyday we are there our troops are in danger.

Of course it did.
