Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

California is sending $520 million in utility bill credits to millions of households to help fight against Donald Trump's cost-raising agenda. With our California Climate Credit, we're putting money back in Californians' pockets and taking real action against the climate crisis.

Erica Payne, founder of @patrioticmillionaires.org: "Doing it around the edges is what got us this freak show in the WH sending out memes about him being Jesus & getting in a fight with the Pope in a country that prides itself on the separation of church and state. For heaven's sake! Enough already"

A new study trumpeted by Fox News promotes a brand-new definition of "tradwife" that sounds like the worst of all worlds: women having to work and handle all domestic responsibilities without any help at all.

Unearthed diary entries reveal RFK Jr. battled what he referred to as "lust demons." He would write down daily if he achieved "victory," meaning he did not cheat on his wife.

Some AI-generated images of Biden depicted as Jesus have been circulating. These were created by MAGA supporters in an attempt to justify/normalize the post by Trump.

Good speech all around. Particularly poignant on the role inequality plays in the rise of far-right populism.

Weingarten to @patrioticmillionaires.org: "We say, 'When you fight, you win.' Well, we all know that's not always true, & it also creates disappointment when you fight & don't win. But in Congress it's actually really true- if you don't fight, you can never win. If you want change you have to fight"

💵 @patrioticmillionaires.org President Erica Payne not holding back at the group’s annual “money agenda” confab in D.C., calling Donald Trump a “freak show” in light of his AI Trump Jesus post, among other things. “We don’t have pharaohs for a reason … they were weird and f—- up.”

The firewall is holding. Raskin just demanded Trump prove he’s fit or resign, Colorado crushed ICE in court, Boise turned a flag ban into a city-wide rainbow defiance, and Trump’s $10B Epstein lawsuit got thrown out. The resistance is winning.

As expected, Pam Bondi today ignored a House committee's subpoena and didn't show up for her scheduled deposition on Epstein files. Top Dem on the committee warned he's prepared to "move forward with contempt proceedings immediately" if Bondi keeps blowing them off www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

BREAKING: We're suing federal immigration agents on behalf of Juan Sebastián Carvajal-Muñoz, a legal U.S. resident who was racially profiled and violently abducted in Maine in January. Agents violated his Fourth and Fifth Amendment rights and must be held accountable.

Donald Trump may very well be the worst person of all time.

Cook Political moved Trump from Lean Antichrist to Solid Antichrist.

Rather than treat Trump’s comments about Pope Leo as deranged, embarrassing and offensive to (many) Catholics, early headlines (and stories) paint it as Trump just bashing back against a political opponent. Truly broken media environment.

The Pope lifts his voice as part of a higher calling - one centered on peace and the preservation of human life.

If evangelicals think Pope Leo is too”woke” just wait until they hear about this fellow called Jesus.

Wages don’t rise. Groceries, rent, and gas do. And the people at the top keep cashing in.

Since tax-cutting became the raison d’être of the Republican Party in the 1980s, the tax rate paid by the richest Americans has fallen sharply. inthesetimes.com/article/inco...

When a group of people all work together toward a common goal, nothing is impossible. Artemis II is a perfect example of that. Last week they proved again that America’s diversity is our strength.

"If you bet on or invest in anything Trump might influence and you don’t have inside information, you’re a chump. As the expression goes: If you’re not at the table, you’re on the menu." Yes, you. The latest edition of Receipts from @crampell.bsky.social:

Ukraine has been the only fighting defender of Europe against russian aggression for over 12 years. Ukraine should either become the leader of NATO or a new organization for collective security should form with Ukraine as its head.
