A jury has ruled that Live Nation-Ticketmaster is an illegal monopoly. A judge will determine whether or not to break the company up, in addition to other damages. This is a big deal. Remember that the Trump admin tried to settle the lawsuit with a slap on the wrist — but state AGs said no way.

"Magyar wasn't engaging in a policy debate... His framing was Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are a criminal organization and we need to dismantle this... he connected the impact of the criminal organization to these rural Hungarians' experience." @ambpressman.bsky.social on how Magyar beat Orbán.

In fact, the very sentence Rao was referring to in Boasberg’s 11/28/25 order actually stresses the omitted point—that the majority of the en banc (full) appellate court saw no reason for Boasberg not to go forward—yet Rao just skips over it. ... 2/4

OMG YOU JUST KNOW THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED! “I thought I was a doctor.” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I’m dying…

I’ve seen the chaos inside the Trump Admin and how his plans hurt Virginia families. So, I won’t stay silent. Today, I launched my campaign for Congress. I’ll fight to undo the harm — but I can’t do it alone. Share if you’re with me.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.

I'm sure it's not a problem that one of the key figures in the federal government's disaster relief agency is clinically insane.

Tim Scott commissioned a poll for Senate Republicans that shows 92% of swing voters are worried about the high cost of living. Good luck with that, guys.

“Tehran must surely have assumed its oil exports would be halted during a war with the US, especially if it closed the Strait of Hormuz. But seven weeks into the war, and despite having closed the waterway, Iran has enjoyed a windfall instead of economic pain.” politicalwire.com/2026/04/14/i...

Trump is touting the no tax on tips provision in his budget bill. But many tipped workers won't benefit because their earnings are so low. And the provision expires in 2028. The estate tax cuts that primarily benefit the rich? Those were made permanent. Funny how that works.

“It isn’t just that Trump has a core of messianic supporters, who recognize no lines between church and state. Now it’s clear that while Trump has fed off their fervor, he has never really understood who they are, what they believe, and where their red lines are drawn.”

“Like a famous Trump portrait by artist Julian Raven, it flatters the president in ways that conform to his well-known insecurities, filling in his thinning hair.”

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

JUST IN: US PPI inflation rises to 4%, its highest since February 2023. Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz supply shock is estimated to cause oil demand to contract by 80,000 barrels per day — the largest drop since COVID. Are you ready for what's next?

Glad to see the Australian government on board. Massive milestone today with Bowen acknowledging EV growth is already offsetting the oil crisis. Increasing reserves while demand falls makes no sense. Now for a solar carport mandate! Charge baby charge. ☀️⚡ #Bettrification #EVs
