The amazing thing is that they may actually have enough votes from the GOP to refer Bondi for criminal contempt. Link: buff.ly/J1WDrl2

NEW: Pope Leo XIV told the world’s press today that the Catholic Church’s moral imagination has long been too narrowed to sexual ethics — and that war, migration, and human dignity are the “much greater, more important issues” of our time.

When you're reading Nobody's Girl by Virgins Giuffre and you hear Pam Bondi say "If they prosecute everybody the system will collapse." Isn't that the point?! #sheshed #metoo

I remember smog alerts in the late 80s and early 90s, when the skyline of downtown L.A. was often hidden by a thick, brown layer of smog. Then came tougher regulations and our air quality improved

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

🚨BREAKING: Internal emails between DOJ personnel suggest that, from the very outset of the effort to obtain sensitive voter data from states — much earlier than previously known — officials there planned to share it with the DHS. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Republican men who pretend to care about women’s sports standing in front of the actual athletes really sums their whole charade up perfectly

I firmly believe presidents & people with control over medical agencies should understand percentages! If *you* don’t, no judgment; I will explain in the next couple posts how they work. The short version is that Senator Warren is correct in the clip, and there’s NO interpretation in which RFKJr is

We already had Iran without a nuclear weapon, so this isn't much of a bargain.

Keep this idiocy in mind the next time anyone from the Trump regime makes any claim involving math. Financial, transportation, healthcare, education, energy. Literally anything.

Staff from the Director of National Intelligence, Justice Department, and FBI all pitched in. But the Trumpist effort to re-investigate the 2020 election has come up with ... nothing. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Another Trump official is in the hot seat over Epstein Files release “Scott MacFarlane Reports” is LIVE youtu.be/pPH6dJPynDc?...

Ghislaine Maxwell abused young women & girls alongside Epstein for years. As young as 14. In multiple states. Convicted in a federal court. She belongs behind bars. I’m beyond disgusted that any of our colleagues would suggest a pardon. The real question is why has no one else been convicted?

Hearing about his attempted World Cup meddling yesterday and the global reactions made me think he was just an “it’s anti-Italian discrimination” kind of guy. Then, while writing this, I found out about his reported involvement in Epstein business dealings and ICE deportations.

Why not, “How Conservatives Came to Target the Southern Poverty Center”? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

Even Trump's cabinet isn't sure how long this illegal war will last—or the true cost for American families. This war must stop now.

Helpful link to the trial transcripts from a civil suit against the white nationalist organizers of the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, VA. This evidence is a useful corrective to the Trump regime’s absurd narrative, which is all over rightwing media, blaming the SPLC.

Trump is claiming all of the above: 1) we have been at war with Iran for 47 years 2) this isn’t a war 3) he should get credit that the war hasn’t been going on as long as the Vietnam War

Comparing it to Vietnam is not the flex he thinks it is.

"The men and women told AFP on Wednesday that they arrived in Kinshasa after a 27-hour flight which they spent with their hands and feet shackled." The human rights abuses of the Trump era must be prosecuted when Dems are in power.

MADELEINE DEAN: Why did you lie to the New York Post about your relationship with Epstein? LUTNICK: The House Oversight Committee and I agreed-- DEAN: Reclaiming my time. I do not accept that answer. We are our own committee. You're dodging the question. The coverup continues.

...how it drew the ire of conservatives?! Well it existed. When exactly were conservatives not angry with it?

Even then, we have to reinforce our laws so that the next wanna-be authoritarian cannot bulldoze our democracy. Trump and Project 2025 exposed all of the areas in our system that relied on the benevolence and humility of elected leaders. Then maybe our reputation will start to recover.

The "death" of English departments and other liberal arts fields is not about their obsolescence but about the fact that they're being actively *killed* by institutions that don't value them on principle, not because of any evidence. Glad ppl are catching up. www.nybooks.com/online/2023/...

This house proposal is DOA. Neither the Senate nor the Governor will accept it. BUT it’s a big message about the November election. If the GOP gets a trifecta in MI then this becomes a real possibility.

Rightwing media outlets are great at creating villains for their audience - and the Trump regime is playing this game with SPLC. Nothing in the indictment shows that the group’s informant program was used to sponsor extremists, as opposed to dismantle them. More to come…

“However, I believe this veto will be lifted and that these sanctions will be implemented in the coming days.” 2/2

French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot: “If the Israeli government does not change its policies in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon we cannot act as if nothing has happened. “Sanctions against Israel are currently being blocked due to Hungary's veto. 1/2

Half of American Jewish voters believe Trump is personally antisemitic. Nearly three-quarters believe Trump bears some personal responsibility for the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting. Meanwhile, Israel is giving him a prize for "special contribution to the Jewish people."

It's like the Israeli government is actively trying to alienate more young American Jews from the state of Israel. www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_ent...

"An Estonian Holocaust memorial was discovered to have been destroyed on Friday, according to the Estonian Police and Border Guard Board and the Estonian Jewish Community." www.jpost.com/diaspora/ant...

Johnson conveniently forgot that Newsom warned Trump: if Republicans gerrymander Texas, California would fight fire with fire, and other states would follow. So now that Republicans don’t like the taste of their own medicine, maybe they can finally get serious about a federal ban on gerrymandering.

Nothing he can say to them will be as degrading and disgraceful as their own decision to be there in the first place.

If she took AIPAC money, she should give it back before that is opposition research. No dark money from foreign sources or anti-democratic corporations or billionaires can ever be tolerable again to real progressive modern liberal. #CampaignFinanceReform
