There's a reason that the federal government created FEMA and this is a good example of why.

Shared resources, (taxes) is much more efficient way to help people.

Very scary what happened yesterday and I'm here to tell you everyone is at risk of needing federal resources.

🚨BREAKING: Full Fourth Circuit DENIES Trump admin motion to stay order blocking Musk/DOGE access to personal data at Social Security Admin. Data will remain out of Musk/ DOGE’s hands. A BIG win for @democracyforward.org and its clients!

We could have been talking about $25K down payment assistance for new homeowners in a thriving economy right now, but here we are.

These DOGE-BAGS are fucking terrorists. This is terrorist shit. From the terrorist playbook.

Every person who works for DOGE is traitor to the United States! Every single one.

This Fed has that Fed whistleblowers back!

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agentsβ€”but that’s happening too.

Judge Xinis to DOJ lawyer:

β€œCancel vacation. Cancel other appointments. I’m usually pretty good about this in my courtroom, but not this time.”

She also agreed to allow the plaintiffs to depose up to 6 administration officials.

Good first step, but need accountability.

I really do think we’re well beyond this point.

If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about β€œpolitics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

Another unvaccinated child has died from the measles in Texas.

There are over 600 cases in the US right now.

Letting children die to a completely preventable disease is absolute insanity.

Gotta correct the media again on something. The administration is not sending migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador. They’re sending human beings to a concentration camp.

The optics of Trump demolishing the economy and then peacing out for some R&R at a Saudi-funded golf tournament held at a private club he still owns and profits from aren’t great

The image shows Vance in a navy blue suit and red tie, gesturing with his right hand, superimposed over a stock market heat map dominated by red, indicating losses. Notable tech stocks like Apple (-8.79%), Microsoft (-2.72%), and Oracle (-5.89%) are prominently shown in red, suggesting a significant market downturn.

California Congressman Ro Khanna, who clearly has his eyes set on higher office, trolls Vice President JD Vance.

One day after Republicans passed a bill to slash NOAA funding, DOGE plans to cut 1,000 jobs from the agency which produces weather data and climate science. Trump thinks he can redirect hurricanes with his Sharpie but you don’t need a weatherman to know this administration blows.

Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees β€” roughly 700,000 union workers

This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history

Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.
