Great job, Elon.

The people have spoken about Trump's D.C. "renovations." The consensus? Not great, Bob.

⚡️ Exclusive: Here's why Trump's envoys aren't going to Ukraine.

Washington Republicans spent two months telling you the President had 60 days before Congress needed to weigh in on the Iran war. Today is that deadline, and now that it’s here, Pete Hegseth walked into the United States Senate and invented a bogus legal argument...🧵

Trump’s meme coin is a scam to enrich insiders. A couple dozen “whales” made nearly $2 billion soon after launch in early 2025. Then, the coin crashed and lost over $4 billion for over 2 million retail investors—including many everyday Americans. My @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social Chart.

And Europe is not happy with Trump!

Due to Trump's big ugly bill, the richest New Yorkers will collectively get a $12B federal tax cut in 2026. Meanwhile, over 1 million New Yorkers could lose healthcare and SNAP benefits. Gov. Hochul & other states can fight Trump's trickle down scam by taxing the rich — who will still be rich.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump says he’s still considering a taxpayer-funded deal to bail out Spirit Airlines.

Allow me to get this clueless old man up to speed: His admin is trying to use the Defense Production Act to take over Spirit, the stated goal of flying around troops and cargo is bullshit, and they will absolutely try to use these planes and their crew for deportations.

Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & yet this man is still in office acting like a Mad King & getting away with it 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

BREAKING: "We’ll have an announcement, sometime today we gave them. We gave them a final proposal.” Trump says his administration gave a “final” bailout proposal for Spirit Airlines as the budget carrier could be forced to liquidate without a lifeline.

Justin Sun accuses the Trump family's World Liberty Financial of 'Criminal Extortion' An awkward detail (that I'm not sure has been reported) is that in 2025 Tron Inc., majority owned by Justin Sun's father, signed a lease agreement for 2,791 sq feet in Trump Tower NYC www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

CNN: “Trump owns this mess. He is getting blamed more for high gas prices, to a historic degree.”

Bye, rubbish!

The Supreme Court's decision in Louisiana v. Callais puts voting districts that give voters of color an opportunity to elect candidates of our choice in jeopardy across the country. Although the court has upended decades of progress, we're not giving up or backing down from defending our democracy.

Cue the far right to take offense at the divisive use of Hobby Lobby. share.google/tVEtUCLlkD9U...

Last night Jimmy Kimmel talked at some length about this week's Trump admin pressure campaign, saying, "Trump has three wars going on right now: Iranians, Ukrainians and comedians" cnn.it/4tjaY4w

10 rabbis (and two pastors) were arrested after blocking traffic in front of ICE offices yesterday. This powerful protest capped a mass mobilization of over 200 Jews in New York — part of the national Jews Demand: ICE OUT! Day of Action, led by @truahrabbis.bsky.social and Bend the Arc.

⚡️Estonia wants to involve NATO forces in countering 'little green men' threats. A government-backed bill, still requiring parliamentary approval, would expand the Estonian military's law-enforcement role in tackling hybrid threats.

UPDATE: AL dot com picked up on our video of Rep Ogles telling a wild lie to Belmont students about an Iranian immigrant in Alabama (who supported Trump) being a terrorist👇🏽 “Neither judge was convinced by the government’s arguments for deporting Karimi.” www.al.com/news/2026/04...

"Democrats have a history of doing these radical gerrymanders just to make sure that they have seats and they preserve power" - a thing a Republican congressman said with a straight face after the Texas gerrymander. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social:

"It is a weird thing as a parent to feel like you were the lucky one and your kids are the unlucky ones." @elienyc.bsky.social tells @deanobeidallah.bsky.social how it feels knowing that because of SCOTUS his kids will grow up with less rights than he had.

The Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais was a blow to the very soul of America. Yesterday, we grieved. Today, we continue building a democracy that can one day truly deliver for all of us. Please reflect upon the magnitude of the Court’s decision. ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

White House Conspiracy Dinner

FWIW, I think Trump BADLY wanted to do this and right wingers prevented him. We rarely ever see Republicans succeeded in getting him to shift policy. But they sometimes succeed behind the scenes.

Hegseth fired the senior JAGs on day one. You don't do that unless you're planning to break the law. @slotkin.senate.gov substack.com/profile/2774... Follow The Ken Harbaugh Show here: linktr.ee/thekenharbau...

DOGE had a secret plan to hand your Social Security number to a political group. But the regime just hit a massive legal wall in Arizona—and the judge who stopped them was appointed by Trump himself. Read the "futile" rebuke here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/ice-got-no...

Trump says he is fighting antisemitism by trying to deport pro-Palestinian activists on green cards, like Mahmoud Khalil. But as we report: Trump appears to have taken no action against a German immigrant and Holocaust denier with multiple criminal convictions. www.npr.org/2026/04/29/n...
