NEW: Statement from Swalwell's senior staffers: "We stand with our former colleague and the other women that have come forward. We believe you should stand with them, too."

The entrepreneurs who are part of the booming school safety industry face a cruel irony: they are dependent on the uniquely American epidemic of school shootings.

NBC: “Iran is not listening to your threats about opening the Strait.” TRUMP: “You don’t know anything. You’re fake news. We win, no matter what.” Triggered by the truth. (H/T @atrupar.com )

This is former Utah judge Kevin Christensen, charged with 8 counts of child sexual abuse. He's pled to 3 counts, and faces up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Not an immigrant. Not a drag queen. Not undocumented. He is, however, an elected Republican official.

When you’ve definitely, completely, 1000% lost:

“I saw my daughter’s head here,” said Hussein Saleh, a Lebanese man from Tyre who described the moment he returned home to find his family killed in an Israeli air strike on March 6. Speaking to The National News, he said that he lost his wife, who was pregnant, their daughter Sarah, his uncle

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

The public DOES have a right to know.

Schwartz’s employees allege the nursing home chain withheld $2M+ in health insurance premiums from 1,000 workers’ paychecks but failed to provide coverage. One plaintiff said she was left with $50K+ in bills after surgery, wrecking her credit.

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again. Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

“Unfortunately, because Congress is not taking any steps to rein ICE officers in, there really is no option other than states protecting their constituents’ rights," said Joanna Schwartz, a law professor at UCLA. (Published Feb.)

So is the big Melania scoop that she had a baby when she was fifteen?

Wow 🥺 The Iranian national soccer team players with tiny backpacks as tribute to honor the children and teachers killed at the Shajareh Tayyebeh girls' elementary school in Minab, Iran ❤️‍🩹

As primaries are approaching we need a candidate who will fight and end this Supreme Court as we know it and give us back a real functioning court. Without this we will be going nowhere.

Trump filed an “emergency” appeal last weekend...over his $400 million BALLROOM. We are literally in the middle of a war with Iran, the government is still partially shut down, and many critical government employees STILL aren’t getting paid.

They’d better!!

Slovenia and Spain have been exceptional EU states that have refused to go along with Israeli criminality since Oct 7. But France’s decision to support suspending the EU Association Agreement with Israel…I think that’s new…the tide on Israel may FINALLY be shifting at the Western govt level

MacFarlane: If the first lady is trying to preemptively defuse a journalistic bomb that's coming on the Epstein files, I know a lot of good PR practitioners would say: you don't defuse a bomb by calling attention to the bomb

I'm disappointed. ☹️ So many talented hackers out there, yet NONE to have hacked into - and released the relevant parts of - the Epstein files.

"Dear @WhiteHouse: PLEASE KEEP PUTTING @HOWARDLUTNICK ON TV. I love how he is sooo out of touch and lies like there is no tomorrow. (Remember his great beautiful lie about not being with pedophile Epstein?)..."

Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli

This pretty much says it all.

In retrospect, seems bad that we played Fox News 24/7 on USAmerican military bases worldwide for the last 25 years.

I agree 100%!!

Cartoon view of a dangerous & colossal failure by this regime…

I think it's super that the president of the United States is a dementia-ravaged diva who swings wildly from threatening to wipe out an entire civilization to rambling publicly about how the executive producers of "Hart to Hart" were extremely rude to him at Spago in 1983.

Well just leave this here, sweet pea

Tucker Collins is 18. A USC freshman. He went to the LA No Kings rally on March 28 with a camera. He came home without an eye. A DHS agent fired a “less-lethal”projectile that destroyed his eyeball and fractured his eye socket. He was documenting the protest and just taking pictures.

On Confederate Surrender Day, I give you the Liberator's take on Jefferson Davis: "We believe Jefferson Davis to be the worst man in all history. He was a repudiator and slaveholder. He has been a secessionist, a traitor and rebel....He has sedulously endeavored to subvert our free institutions."

Subramanyam: If Melania Trump wants to clear her name, she should come testify before our committee under oath, because it's clear that that's what she was trying to do. Either that or promote her book.

Subramanyam: She has a lot of power here. Her husband is the president and he's what's in the way of releasing the rest of the files. If she wanted to do right by the survivors, then do what they're asking you to do, which is release the rest of the files.

Iran, If you’re listening, please publish the unredacted Epstein files. Thanks

President Trump has signed an executive order on mail voting. He has no lawful authority to write the rules that govern U.S. elections. He tried a year ago; we sued him, and we won. We expect the same result this time.

The Middle East is full of religious extremists who blindly revere evil men. Oops! I meant *The United States* not The Middle East.

Congress is completely useless at this point.

All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..

Wait a minute. ONLY 50? Is this a joke? Every one should. Every single one. They're horrible at this truly. And yes I could do it much better.

a visual depiction of Fox News's commentary tonight

Please enjoy my cartoon for Wednesday's Toronto Star

Senator Ron Wyden is one of the more restrained members of the Senate who carefully chooses his words. I’ve never seen him angry. When RON WYDEN says this, LISTEN:

Trump insists that he is ready to do more damage to Iran than Netanyahu has done in Gaza or Putin in Ukraine. Genocide—bombing Iran into "the Stone Ages" is a war crime for which our country will bear responsibility. Once again, many ordinary Americans will pay the price for his unhinged wrongdoing.

The President is openly threatening massive escalation in Iran saying “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Congress needs to vote to put a stop to this. It is a constitutional duty to vote on war powers and both sides should demand this.
