Zohran Mamdani: "A democratic socialist politics … can flourish anywhere because, frankly, there is only one majority in this country — that's the working class. It’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of what it is that we're pursuing and not as part of the appendix."

“He cheated on the golf course. He cheated on his taxes. He cheated on his wives. He cheated the business contractors he stiffed. He tried to cheat in the 2020 election. And now he’s trying to cheat on the 2026 midterms - because he knows he can’t win.”

Does this sound like a “Ballroom”? Or a bunker for a guy who never wants to leave?

US to launch tariff refund system on April 20, per Reuters nothing will go to American consumers for the overpriced goods to cover the cost of Tariffs....refunds will only go to corporations.

ZOHRAN: “I ran on taxing the rich — Today, we’re taxing the rich… the first ever pied-a-terre tax for second homes worth $5 Million+… $500 MILLION from the richest of the rich to fund child care, etc…💰” Promises kept.

So petty. And the wildest part is Governor Lee’s sister is married to a woman, and yet he continues to sign this slate of hate. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty: "Are we concerned as to whether there would be federal blowback? Not a concern of ours. Our role is to hold people accountable if they violate the laws of Minnesota. We feel strongly that this ICE agent committed 2nd degree assault."

This is what you get when you confirm a drunk, failed military, washed up Fox News host as SecDef!

YUP! Jah! Si! Da! Oh yes!!

I mean, this is just sad.

Saudi Arabia is pressing the U.S. to drop its blockade of Hormuz, fearing President Trump’s move to close it off could lead Iran to escalate and disrupt other important shipping routes - WSJ

The US-sanctioned tanker Rich Starry transited the Strait of Hormuz despite the blockade. The ship links to China, previously known as Full Star, and was China-bound (carrying Iranian crude in past ops). It's flagged Malawi as a false flag. US sanctions hit it in 2023 for evading Iran oil bans.

Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem rejects talks between the Lebanese government and Israel, says they are 'futile'.

There's nothing quite like Christian love...🤬

So they brought this lady from Arkansas, to highlight she has to work at her age to pay off her husband's medical bills I despise doordash. Everything about this is ridiculous from the gold paint behind them, to someone dying of heart failure and dementia eating McDonald's rooting for cholesterol

Merry morning sunshine and all my lovelies ✨🐦‍⬛ I hope you have the best day ever. 😘🌸

Yep, that one's more like it 😂

My theory on why Trump is so against renewable energy globally: A global renewable transition would be the single biggest structural threat to dollar reserve currency status since Bretton Woods. It would force the US to compete on economic fundamentals rather than relying on the petrodollar system.

Thank you to the Asian Law Caucus for the incredible honor at the 54th Anniversary Gala. It was an unforgettable evening celebrating leaders, like Congressmember Jayapal, who continue to defend and protect our civil rights.

But of course 🙄

Can’t make this up. But keep JD far away from this pope, please!

The Pope has more compassion and courage in his little left toe than Trump has mustered in a lifetime. In a match, I'm going with Southside Leo.

Coherence has never been his strong suit, but it's getting far worse.

My parents knew Benavidez. Daddy was a WWII Marine and active in several veterans organizations. Met Benavidez on several occasions. The Marine Corps League named a chapter after him. He was an amazing man and soldier and a total badass.

A childhood friend who attended a different school had a pregnant classmate. In eighth grade. Middle school pregnancies were absolutely a thing back then, too horrifying even for MTV

Thank you for this thread. I taught school for 30 years, mostly grades 5-8. There were pregnant students almost every year. Teenage pregnancy helps nobody and hurts everyone involved.

Has any other president lost his core base of voters by so much so quickly?

Chinese officials say that they are worried that there may be an escalation soon between the US and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz, fearing it could destabilize the world economy and delay Trump's much-anticipated summit with Xi Jinping next month - Washington Post

Well said 👏
