Give Becca a follow, she speaks truth. Would love her to introduce articles of impeachment. We back you 💯% Representative.
If you’ll deny due process to someone who’s been here with a green card for 10 years, who talked about peace and building bridges, then we are down a sick path.

Could we also maybe discuss how your stuff gets stolen out from under the nose of your security detail, who I assume was with her because duh?

Either they’re incompetent or they hate her or both.
Our Homeland Security Secretary can’t even keep track of her own damn purse and we’re supposed to trust her to keep us safe?! 🙄

Items stolen: Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, her DHS access badge, blank checks and about $3,000 in cash.

OPINION by Steve Benen:

It may seem impossible for a President to “screw up an Easter message,” but Benen writes how Trump’s 185-word tirade defied those odds.

Even in an Easter message, Trump can’t shake his unhealthy fixation on Biden
The idea of “Biden Derangement Syndrome” never really caught on, but to the extent the ailment exists, Trump has a virulent case of it.

Donald Trump *personally* caused the crisis in confidence in US bonds, the approx 10% slide in the S&P 500 in the last month, and the unfolding collapse of international tourism to the United States. Leaving aside everything he did before, he should be the biggest pariah ever to hold the office.

Trump isn’t allowed to fire Powell but since laws and stuff don’t matter to him, if he does try to have Powell removed the value of the U.S. dollar is going to plummet into scary territory.
Trust in the dollar has been shaken in recent weeks. It’s not yet broken. In this febrile setting, firing Powell might finish the job — the mere threat of it was enough to force another leg down for the greenback in early Monday trading, says @johnauthers.bsky.social

in so much news coverage there’s still this sense of propriety and decorum in the face of an outright assault on our civil and human rights. i just want to remind journalists that your politeness will not save you—so you might as well say what you really mean.
