The newest version of the SAVE Act has been stuffed with bad ideas. bit.ly/4bPRC12

JD Vance is planning to visit Hungary to show support for Viktor Orbán ahead of the coming election, Reuters reports.

LEBANON…

Mullin is claiming that, as a Congressman, he went on a classified trip in 2016 that required him to go through “specialized training” and SERE (survival, evasion, resistance, escape) school prior to leaving. Classified trips happen, but the SERE claim is utter bullshit.

It's estimated that US oil companies could gain a windfall of $60B this year if crude prices maintain the levels they have hit since the start of Trump's war on Iran. Remember that Big Oil spent spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024. That investment is paying off quite well for them.

Thank you, Illinois. Tonight’s message is clear – we’re ready to take our democracy back into our own hands.

I love this for Illinois. And I love this for the rest of us. Juliana Stratton is already on record saying she will NOT support Chuck Schumer as leader if she is elected to the Senate. New energy. New pressure. New reality.

NEW: A bipartisan ethics committee at the Colorado Capitol has unanimously recommended a formal admonishment and sexual harassment training for Rep Ron Weinberg (R) after allegations that he was a creepy sex pest to Republican women.

Ted Cruz is a liar and a despicable person. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It's not remotely hyperbolic to conclude that random person off the street would have superior skills and judgement in all categories.

Flu is seemingly everywhere still. All the usual preventatives still apply but please remember if you’re exposed to Flu (especially from a say loved one that you live with), ask your provider about Tamiflu for “post-exposure” prophylaxis. It can be helpful to keep you healthy after an exposure.

NEW: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump admin's wind-down of operations at the U.S. Agency for Global Media — Voice of America's parent company — is unlawful and ordered the agency to bring more than 1,000 employees back to work.

Gas prices are skyrocketing nationwide. American troops are dead and injured. Our longtime allies are abandoning us. …and the President of the United States has no idea what he's doing.

Imagine if the Trump Administration came before Congress and told the truth for once.

ICYMI, pleased to write my first piece for @ms.now about the legal implications of the Secretary of Defense announcing "no quarter." www.ms.now/opinion/pete...

Denying immigrant Boston Logan Airport workers the ability to renew their Customs access and forcing them out of their jobs threatens all airport workers nationwide. Immigrants’ rights are workers’ rights. Solidarity with @goodairports.bsky.social in this fight!

Let the Trump-Epstein cabinet know that Trump’s pardons don’t extend to the international criminal court.

If Trump wanted to apologize for having made the spectacularly wrong call on the JCPOA, that would be a welcome development. But the idea that he prevented a “nuclear holocaust” by rejecting an international agreement that was working as intended is utterly insane. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

This war is illegal. It’s costing us billions, American soldiers have died — and Trump has once again lied to the American people.

John Roberts, the man who contributed more to enabling Trump's lawlessness than anyone except perhaps Mitch McConnell, evidently just realized that his monster has turned on him. Among other rulings, Roberts brought us unlimited dark money in campaigns and absolute immunity for Trump.

Russia playing Trump as they always have.

We have filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court opposing the Trump admin’s effort to end Temporary Protected Status for Haiti, which would fire 300,000+ workers–including thousands of union members. It's bad for our communities, families and economy.

There are some 3,000 patients on dialysis machines in Cuba who are at risk of dying from a prolonged blackout.

Trump: "Every time you see somebody with no legs, no arms, a face that's been, really, so badly damaged, so badly hurt, lives destroyed, 95% chance it came right out of Iran. They love that bomb. They love that bomb."

wow -- Micheál Martin makes a case to Trump's face in favor of immigration

Trump: "We're doing better. We had to do a little excursion, if you don't mind. A little excursion to take care of nuclear weaponry in the hands of maniacs. But other than that -- in a couple of weeks, it's moving along fast. We're way ahead of schedule. I'm trying to save a lot of money."

Trump: "We hit 50,000 on the Dow. Think of that." (The Dow has since dropped 3,000 points.)

⚡️ JUST NOW: William Lamberth’s $300 MILLION private school vouchers program-doubling bill (for kids already in private schools) passes HOUSE ED committee 9-11 Republicans Barrett, Hurt, Raper, jones, Haston joined the dems in opposition

Trump: "I went to Susie, I always go to Susie, I said, 'Susie, do you mind if I take a little excursion here?' My chief of staff. Because I want to do this. I have Marco here, we have a lot of our great people, JD is here. They're all here. I say, let's do this."

"With the OBBB, Osborn said the signature Trump legislative achievement "gives the lion's share of tax cuts to the uber-wealthy." On tariffs, he said they are raising costs for everyone, particularly Nebraska's farmers, describing it as "a tax on the people."

Trump. Russia. Epstein.

Joe Kent is the Director of National Counterterrorism Center in the Trump Administration HE JUST RESIGNED IRAN POSED NO IMMINENT THREAT It is clear that we (trump) started this Read his statement below I hope other Republicans will be inspired to do the right thing and follow your lead

Trump-appointed Counterterrorism Director Joe Kent and I don’t agree on much — and I definitely don’t share his ideology. But when even he can’t, in “good conscience,” defend this administration’s rogue actions, that should tell you everything you need to know.

MOMENTS AGO: Trump says "NATO is making a very foolish mistake" by refusing to assist U.S. with war with Iran, adding "we don't need them."

Of course our allies are ignoring Trump’s pressure to join the war in Iran. Not only is it costly, deadly, and ill-advised… but after a year of tariffs, threats to invade Greenland, cozying up to Russia, and more… why would they trust us?

A federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s threat to cut Colorado’s SNAP benefits, finding that it appeared to be retribution over the state’s refusal to pardon convicted election denier Tina Peters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee just formally subpoenaed Pam Bondi to answer questions about the Epstein investigation behind closed doors on April 14. tinyurl.com/ympvmxh2

Thanks for pointing out you want to make these available not just for rich kids - data proves otherwise… they’re going to the wealthiest kids in the wealthiest counties.” Jody Barrett (REPUBLICAN) tells William Lamberth vouchers are For kids already in private schools

The SAVE America Act is a voter suppression scam targeting working people who don’t have the time or money to get a passport or stand in a DMV-style line to chase down their documents. Make your voice heard. Tell your senators: stop the SAVE America Act! https://bit.ly/4rvhAeV

“We’re not just ‘giving people back their taxpayer money’ - we’re taking everyone’s money and giving it to a select few.” Jody Barrett (A REPUBLICAN) gets applause 👏🏽 in the room for dropping facts about the $300 MILLION private school vouchers program on William Lamberth

Trump promised a cap on credit card rates. Instead, he delivered a giveaway to credit card companies at your expense. Former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra explains. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZwV...

Republicans are pushing the SAVE America Act to choke off the vote. Passports to register. National photo ID to vote. Database purges to wipe out voters. Millions of citizens silenced so the GOP can cling to power. We see it. We stop it. Call Your Senators 202 224-3121 #SaveActTaxesVoting

Donald Trump taking to social media, where anyone can see everything, to desperately cajole our allies into helping him get out of the mess he created, instead of using private diplomatic channels, is a testament to how crass and amateurish our foreign policy is under the short-fingered vulgarian.

Q: "The Iranian regime has told Sky News, 'If you put boots on the ground in Iran, it will be another Vietnam.' Are you afraid of that?" Trump: "No…I'm really not afraid of anything."

The American people deserve to know why this Administration dragged us into war in Iran. Joe Kent should come before Congress. If even officials like Joe Kent do not believe Iran posed an imminent threat, why are we sending more Americans to die in this war?
