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 House’s β€œbig, beautiful bill” make it to President Trump’s desk than would have previously been possible.

If Trump passes on Ukraine, it’ll 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

β€œSince Putin is clearly set on continuing the war while dividing the West…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.” 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. It’s important that we find the courage to keep doing these things."

This screenshot is the smoking gun.

The Defense Secretaryβ€”on Signalβ€”live texting classified strike times to people without the proper clearance.

Hegseth’s defense? Blame a β€œdisgruntled employee” and bash the media. And the White House is still standing by him.

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

β€œBritain 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.”

*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 allβ€”including 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! πŸ’™

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 🐷 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.
