Today is a great day to ask why Howard Lutnick still has a job paid for by your tax dollars. He told the Senate under oath that he did not have a relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.  Lutnick visited Epstein's private island. He kept emailing Epstein as late as 2018. He should resign.

A court just ruled that President Trump's new global tariffs are also illegal. Americans have paid the price for multiple rounds of illegal tariffs — that’s why I led a coalition of dozens of public and private partners to fight President Trump’s tariffs up to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The courts have made it official: Donald Trump's tariffs aren't just bad for the economy - they're unlawful. Proud to be part of the coalition of state AGs who brought this lawsuit forward to win meaningful relief for Americans and their wallets.

This is the 82-year-old state senator the FBI just raided because she successfully redistricted Virginia to match racist Republican redistricting efforts. They targeted her because she's ruthless and effective. They don't want anyone else to play within their new rules.

Isn't there an Inspector General that should be looking jnto this abuse of taxpayer dollars?

Neil Gorsuch was on Megyn Kelly’s show today.

Trump White House didn’t bother checking with Gulf partners before trying to run the Strait of Hormuz—which risked resumption of high intensity warfare—and an angry Saudi Arabia forbid use of bases or airspace. Helps explain “Project Freedom” reversal. Nearly every way they can screw up, they do.

Among most consequential litigation actions. @aclu.org asks full DC Circuit (en banc) to review 2-1 panel decision that stopped Chief Judge Boasberg's criminal contempt inquiry Compelling opening lines⤵️ High stakes as DOJ continues to violate court orders storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Many farms declaring bankruptcy or not planting sucks for the whole country. And it really sucks that many of the people who will be hit hardest by this voted for it.

Trump has given Iran a 1-week deadline aka 7 Project Freedoms.

Clarence Thomas has been on the Supreme Court for so long that he just went over 300,000 miles on his quarter-million-dollar motor coach bribe.

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

Alan Dershowitz on Epstein & Ghislaine: "There was no sex trafficking ring...They said he’s a pedophile because he had sex with a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old. That would mean he was a pedophile in Florida, but not in England." He then says Epstein's a "3 or 4" on a scale of 10 for sex offenders.

Mockler on Iran: We are watching the same people who defended these first two failed wars go on television and defend another failed war. I don't trust the same people who got us into the prior wars, amassed trillions of dollars in debt, and are not putting America first on the global stage.

Last night, the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee quietly slipped $1 billion in funding for Trump’s ballroom boondoggle into their reconciliation bill, as part of a $72 billion package dominated by ICE funding. Republicans in Congress plan to pass this bill without a single Democratic vote.

Project Freedom's just another word for nothing left Hormuz

Here is the polling that was part of the politics section of Rachel's "Trump is bad at everything" thesis last night.

Karoline Leavitt right before the event: “This speech tonight will be classic Donald J. Trump. There will be some shots fired tonight, so everyone should tune in.” bsky.app/profile/atru...

I CALLED IT!

⚡️At least eight people have been killed and 21 others injured in Russian attacks against Ukraine over the past day, local authorities said on April 26. Russia launched 144 drones at Ukraine overnight, the Air Force said.

These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of April 26, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

So it was Dan Scavino who was chanting USA.

Every school in America is going to need to build a ballroom.

It's going to be perfect if they only part of this cursed event that actually takes place is the red carpet photo shoot documenting everyone who was craven enough to show up

Shooting incident at WHCD event is over. Administration officials were quick to reassure everyone that the scene has been secured, all is back to normal, and the murderers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti will never be brought to justice.

Carter Page was a legitimate target for surveillance. If an American who has been on U.S. intelligence’s radar before is seen in Moscow telling people he has a special in with a major U.S. party presidential candidate and can sell access, that’s something U.S. counterintelligence should look into.

Any "extraordinarily brilliant person" would know his presidency is in free-fall after his disastrous decision to enter another endless war-of-choice in the Middle East & that on November 3rd accountability is coming for the most corrupt criminal Administration in U.S. History. tick...tick...tick

So the FBI's priority list under Kash Patel is: 1. Investigate a journalist for reporting on the Director’s girlfriend 2. Sue The Atlantic for reporting on the Director’s drinking problem 3. Avoid arresting a single powerful man implicated in the Epstein files Did I miss anything?

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

We are currently in the 3-5 day pause on the 14 day extension of the initial 48 hour hard deadline for the ceasefire.

Here are the questions Raskin wants Patel to answer: tinyurl.com/528pdfs3

BREAKING: President Trump says the U.S. is extending its ceasefire with Iran at Pakistan's request as he waits for a unified proposal from the Islamic Republic.

Can confirm

Is he drunk?

Iran has elections, but to its great shame, it has an unaccountable council of ayatollahs that overrules the elected representatives. Here’s why we’re nullifying the Voting Rights Act. by John Roberts

Lol they had to close the quote after "all hell" because he's stupid

"Dow 50,000" was truly the beginning of the end for Pam Bondi

Great speech, dude.

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

BREAKING: President Trump has issued an unlawful executive order attempting to severely restrict mail-in voting. The Constitution is clear: Only the states or Congress can change election laws.

It’s not a joke. It’s a clear and frequently reinforced signal to the armed services that if you break regulations or laws you will be exonerated as long as your actions show fealty to Trump/MAGA.

This is what I mean by vice signaling

The problem with waiting for the courts to push back on Trump is that the damage has often been done before any resolution.

This is what corruption and wasting taxpayers' money looks like

Elections expert says Trump's new executive order on elections “will be blocked by the federals courts before the ink is dry."
