Is Elizabeth Warren great, or what?

Every day, it’s clear that the average Uncommitted supporter was far more knowledgeable about what another Biden foreign policy term would look like than their average detractor. There is a racial element too; for many, this is about our & family members’ lives. It is deadly serious.

This is a snapshot of the failure of MSM and the concomitant ignorance within the American electorate about what is happening in and to their country.

If you paid even one penny in federal income taxes on your income last year, then you paid more than Tesla. Here's why.

😆

Here’s the thing. Congress already passed laws specifically designed to stop this. Section 716 of the appropriations law says you can’t create any new organizational entity with five or more employees without committee approval.

Mark Copelovitch is (somehow) a professor at UW-Madison in my home town. I had followed him for some time, mostly in agreement. Copelovitch blocked me today for a simple disagreement with his efforts to smear Senator Warren as an Antisemite. That is pathetic and the opposite of rigorous inquiry.

Hey, Beshear, Lis Smith, & associated Majority Dem-types: If you want to kill group-speak, how about we start with “officer-involved shooting,” “ice agent involved-shooting,” “weaponized vehicle” & other mealy-mouthed obfuscations of state-sanctioned murder?

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

If you are as infuriated as you read this as I am, know that Congress not only has the power to fix the abuse of the Shadow Docket but also that the legislation is already drafted. We just need to get it to the floor. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Stevens to RFK Jr: "To top it off, Mr Secretary, I got a copy of HR-944. You know what it is? It's your impeachment articles, sir. You have abused your office, you have gutted America's public health! You should be ashamed."

What a loathsome man.

Fed chair nominee Warsh's disclosures don't comply with Senate ethics rules, Senator Warren says reut.rs/4cP26yk

Not only does Russia support Republicans, but the former Russian satellite Hungary did!

I’m holding the Senate floor tonight in protest of legislation that would allow a copper-nickel sulfide mine on the doorstep of the Boundary Waters. Not this mine. Not this place.

The Republican Party is a clear and present danger to the American people and the world. National defense demands that we terminate the GOP. On top of the DHS terror campaigns and wars, they are the most powerful political party in the world supporting climate pollution.

"There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us," write @josephestiglitz.bsky.social, @gabrielzucman.bsky.social, and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

Brother men: Stop this behavior and all forced sex. Speak out against it to other men. We need to speak up. 😠

FRONTLINE and ProPublica investigate the violence, protests and arrests stemming from the federal immigration sweeps across the country. "Caught in the Crackdown" premieres tonight on PBS and online.

Gallego gets emotional: "It hurts. It hurts that he hurt a lot of people. And it pisses me off that now we all have to deal with all of his BS."

This for cripes sake. This. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️

The U.S House of Representatives voted to permanently undo protections for the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in northern Minnesota. Now it's up to the Senate who will likely vote within the next two weeks. Please speak up for this important wilderness area. ⬇️

Celebratory dance in Hungary

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

See our grades & analysis of 75 + front pages for #NoKings 3.0 coverage. The influential @nytimes.com @wsj.com continue trivialize the pro-democracy movement & #NoKings mass demonstrations. Good news: editors of local outlets continue to shine. 🧵 w/many front pages and link to blog post 1/n

Listen up: I am one of those rare sex assault victims who actually took the guy who did it to court. It was a local scandal that put my initials on the front page of the local paper (not my whole name because I was a minor). You have no idea what happens to women on the stand or in the press.

Stop regurgitating Israel's war propaganda! @npr.org misleads listeners with Israel's lies that it bombs Hezbollah in #Lebanon. We know that Israel's bombs kill civilians and level ancient and historic towns. Are the civilians and towns Hezbollah, NPR?!? apnews.com/article/leba...

Swalwell has disgraced himself. So tired of these behaviors. Men, don't be led by your genitals. Be more than your genitals. Be a decent man. And speak up to others being creeps.

These chunderheads think impeaching a corrupt president who has intentionally jacked up prices on EVERYTHING "will distract from their midterm focus on costs and corruption"????? Sweet Christmas, these people are so dumb they must have reminders set on their phones to keep breathing.

Springsteen's crusade. The arts prevail.

Public funding of private schools is a rip off.

Israel does not speak for, or represent, the Jewish people of the world. It's a slur to conflate the two. Thanks to Gideon Levy and Owen Jones.

EFF is finally leaving X and here is a blog post about why: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Apollo Global Management got $1.4 billion in "job creation" subsidies for a data center employing 125 people. That's $11M per job. Silicon Valley is strip-mining rural America. Officials are fighting back. @foodandwater.bsky.social @sanders.senate.gov @aoc.bsky.social #DataCenter #RuralAmerica

If you are looking for something other than more bad news I give you this

The obvious answer here is that the student protest movement was broadly smeared as anti-semitic and aligned with terrorists, and a variety of institutions from government, media and the universities acted as if that smear was true, threatening, suspending, expelling and even deporting students.

Difficult to describe how unusual it is for @icrc.org to speak publicly like this. "Heavy explosive weapons with wide-area effects struck densely populated urban areas, including the capital Beirut, without effective advance warnings." ICRC Outraged by Deadly Strikes in Densely Populated Areas

Reminder: Right now, Democrats have a chance to stand up to Trump's chaos. Trump just requested an additional $1.5 trillion in military funding. We cannot hand over a huge check to a President intent on committing war crimes. I will do everything in my power to block it.

There is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Israel has been bombing Lebanon non-stop since last night. If anything Israel is expanding its war on Lebanon. You are being lied to

This is really good as well. So far Ted Lieu, Chris Murphy, and Elissa Slotkin making this point with crystal clarity. More Dems need to do this.

Chris Murphy for Democratic leader.

Attention mayors and other political leaders.
