Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.

Trump’s approval rating just hit a NEW LOW. The American people know that the President isn’t working for them. And they’re sick of it.

If you've ever wondered about this GOP being a cult...

Virginia Woolf, more than a hundred years ago:

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job. One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein? KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is. The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which is best known for its tracking of hate groups, said that the Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into the nonprofit regarding their use of informants.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

@padwanlavender.bsky.social Our country hasn`t come so very far on everyone`s civil rights (especially for women & those of various colours & creeds) to allow injustice to return, to allow the erasure of our collective history, or cruel suppression of progress ).

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands...may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison

This explains why Resident Rump`s "spiritual advisor" "Rev." WHITE totally imitates "Rev" Benny Hinn when exorcising demons ... LOL ! >>> www.youtube.com/shorts/1qCZ3...

"Millions of Americans are wondering if this president is delusional and thinks he's Jesus Christ" -- Brilliant line of questioning here from Rep. Takano to RFK Jr about Trump's nutso social media posts and what it says about his mental health

“Someplace between apathy and anarchy is the stance of the thinking human being; he does embrace a cause; he does take a position, and can't allow it to become business as usual. Humanity is our business.” ~ Rod Serling

Like, for example, a Secretary of Defense citing a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction to promote wars of aggression.

Under the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact, states would assign their presidential electors to the winner of the popular vote, regardless of the results within the state. Spanberger signed Virginia onto the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. It’s the 18th state to do so !!

We have a pretty good idea, JD

For the Tech Policy Press podcast, Justin Hendrix spoke to Katrina Manson, author of the new book Project Maven: A Marine Colonel, His Team, and the Dawn of AI Warfare. They discussed the book, the war in Iran, the Anthropic-Pentagon dispute, and the future of war in the AI age.

The Treasury Department is working on a plan to gut its office that researches financial market risks. Because the office is funded by fees on the financial industry, this won't save taxpayers money. But it will make it harder to spot and prevent the next crisis. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Beautiful kindness, big or small, changes the world.

Marco Rubio declared that under the Constitution being born in the USA does not make you a citizen unless your parents are citizens. Marco Rubio's parents were Cuban immigrants who were NOT citizens at the time of his birth. Do you think Marco will now self-deport?

This is officially the single WORST administration for Veterans in American history.

Who’s gonna tell him?

Here we go. With new polls showing a Doomsday Scenario for Republicans in the midterms, Trump escalates efforts to try and steal the midterms with an unconstitutional and illegal order.

Polymarket has seen several users bet specifically on U.S. military action related to Iran and rake in money. The lucrative payouts have raised concerns about the possibility of insider trading. https://to.pbs.org/4bKFte7

Trump has been talking about just ending his war, even if the Strait of Hormuz isn’t reopened. Cut and run. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social breaks down this very real possibility: “Iran ends this war with more power… more influence in the Middle East than they started at the beginning of this war…”

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.
