I know it’s still technically False Spring but one thing about me, I am not the kind of woman to look a gift horse in the mouth

We don't have a complete picture of senior Trump administration officials’ personal finances — and there’s no telling when we will.
Inside the government's tortured ethics process that's leaving the public in the dark.

Thom Tillis is increasingly "sick of stupid" from the Trump administration: Just don't call him anti-Trump. My exit profile of a Republican power broker who got labeled as a RINO, and how he wants to take out Stephen Miller. #NCSen #NCPol www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Abortion bans appear to result in lower rents and higher vacancy rates, showing that people are choosing not to live in states w/ restrictive laws
"Policies around abortion matter to some people — to enough people to move the needle significantly," one economist said

I would still like some acknowledgement from certain Matt Stoller post leftist circles that they participated in propping up the lie that Trump 2.0 would be a "Lina Khan esque" extension of good faith populist antitrust busting
GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY WOMENS HISTORY MONTH FROM THE TRAIN!! You have the constitutional right to beautiful natural spaces as a Pennsylvanian! Exercise your freedoms as the weather gets nice! Take a hike! Plan a picnic in the park! Stage a photoshoot with your friends! Freedom for the homies!! LFG!
On THE SECRET AGENT and SIRĀT, the ways that both films capture the atmosphere of fascism, and how they embrace helplessness without indulging in hopelessness. For @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/cult...
“…about the 1873 massacre in Colfax, La., where dozens of Black men were murdered by a mob of former Confederates and Ku Klux Klan members.
ChatGPT had deemed it “D.E.I.” Mr. Fox said he agreed. “Because it focuses on exclusively anti-Black violence, which is a race,” he said.”
GOOD MORNING FROM THE TRAIN!! My poor body does not care for losing an hour of sleep but she’ll be ok!! Spring is springing, and it’s up to us to BE OUTSIDE talking to our neighbors about what our communities deserve! Let our leaders know what we want! There’s power in numbers! Get organizing! LFG!
The looting of African resources by outsiders & its tragic consequences for African people is an old story. Gold, diamonds, ivory, rubber... And now coltan, so that we can have fancy phones. apnews.com/article/cong...
Happy Friday! Enjoy my piece about how Kristi Noem was disposable to Trump, despite being the saddest booklicker in his Cabinet.
You can destroy your face to please MAGA, ladies, but it doesn't matter. You're still a woman and they don't respect you.

Wore a vampire weekend rugby shirt to A Celebration of the Evolution of Black Music Revue at the Ephrata Performing Arts Center and did the electric slide with 100 south Central African American Pennsylvanians and it’s just really important to me that you all see how cool I looked doing so 🕺🏽🪩✊🏽
this one fucked me up so much. guy turns his life around after a drug conviction, becomes a happy, beloved, pet rescuing houseboat dad who undersells his mechanic services so poor folks can afford them. ICE grabs him one day out of the hospital for heart problems which then kill him. horrifying
One of the mothers I interviewed for this story was frustrated that she couldn't find many resources to help her navigate these conversations with her 3-year-old son.
So, we also created a guide to taking with your kids about ICE, based on tips from child development experts:
a fan of this energy tbh, and ambitious politicos should be trying to outdo each other here
At SOTU, Trump claimed that young men were becoming more religious because of Charlie Kirk. There's no evidence they are, and certainly not because of him. So why say it?

Listening to the most beautiful, emotional, delightful springtime jazz album I’ve ever heard while being stuck at my desk having to “work”
I loved every inch of that book, hell yeah
I was upset about this yesterday and I'm still upset about this today but then I remembered that in the Soviet Union people longed for music that wasn't just propaganda approved so much that they created a cottage industry of smuggling in music and copying them onto records made from old x-rays
The Trump admin let the ACA tax credits expire, making health insurance costs more than double. Now they want to raise our deductibles, making us pay even MORE for health care.
This is completely out of touch with what we need to survive in this economy.
After the arrests of powerful men across the world, you might be asking why the US has so much trouble holding its leaders accountable for lawbreaking. Since Nixon, all three branches of government have worked hard to ensure they can break the law with impunity www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...
“He’s not the flashiest guy or the most dynamic orator,” he said, “but he just does consequential work that makes a real difference in people’s lives.”

“‘The persecution is the point,’ said Rep. Abi Boatman, a Wichita Democrat and the only transgender member of the Legislature, who received the [Kansas Dept of Revenue] notice on Wednesday.” To underscore that: a Kansas state legislator is among those whose driver’s license will be voided.

GOOD MORNING AND HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH FROM THE TRAIN!! Last night I took my childhood best friend to see Riotsville USA at our local indie movie theater and WOW what a damning portrait of the fantasy, pageantry, and incompetence of federal law enforcement! Ain’t shit change! Go to stuff! LFG!
Appalling: ICE and CBP contracted for $144 million in weaponry and accessories in Trump's first year, per data obtained by Sen Adam Schiff.
For ICE it's a fourfold increase, much of it for military-style weapons. A heavily armed secret police force. 1/
