Opinion | How the Senate GOP could sneak Trump's megabill over the finish line
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., is helping his caucus find ways to dodge their own chamber's rules to do whatever they want.
OPINION by @hayesbrown.bsky.social:
Hayes highlights how a crafty move from Senate Majority Leader John Thune may ensure even more of the pet policy projects stuffed inside the Houseβs βbig, beautiful billβ make it to President Trumpβs desk than would have previously been possible.

If Trump passes on Ukraine, itβll be up to us
UK and Europe will have to supply arms to Kyiv and strengthen our own defences, which will require a radical rethink
βSince Putin is clearly set on continuing the war while dividing the Westβ¦threats (by America) to walk away only incentivise him to carry on. It is a counter-productive approach in defiance of all recent experience of bringing peace talks to a successful conclusion.β A must-read: virg.in/4jCtvUE

The courage to be decent
The Trump administration wants to make us too afraid to look out for one another. Don't let them.
"One of the primary goals of all authoritarian regimes is to make people reticent and fearful to engage in basic acts of decency and civic virtue. Itβs important that we find the courage to keep doing these things."

The broken British economy: a call for urgent reform
An open letter to politicians calling for reform and what is needed to save British economy
βBritain is in the grip of an economic and social crisis. Corporate greed, the relentless pursuit of unsustainable growth, and the misguided attempt to replicate the economic model of the United States have driven inequality to new extremes.β

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.
The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Good morning and Happy Easter to allβincluding the Radical MAGA who'd probably deport the Easter Bunny if he didn't have papers! While they try to strip away birthright citizenship and slash Social Security, we're celebrating renewal, hope, and unity. Maybe take a break from the fearmongering! π

I served for eight years in the U.S. Army. The military doesn't have a side. They take an oath to uphold the Constitution, not the chief executive.

That's exciting! Be mindful, however, the π· administration is just begging for an excuse to use the Insurrection Act. He thinks he could use it to declare Marshall Law and seeks a third unconstitutional term in office. He wants what Putin and Xi have. Total control.
