Attorney General Phil Weiser released the following statement regarding the governor commuting the sentence of convicted former Mesa County clerk Tina Peters: https://bit.ly/497GM54

Jared Polis is so completely full of shit. His commutation of Tina Peters' sentence has nothing to do with freedom of speech. What a joke. What an insult to the law-abiding citizens of Colorado. What an assault on free and fair elections. An embarrassing profile in cowardice.

Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.

Katie Phang visits the Donald J. Trump Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, an exhibition that displays the 3,437 volumes of The Epstein Files. “Each of them weighs about 5 lb. … 3.5 million files bound into 800-page volumes. Altogether, it weighs about 17,000 lb.”

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today. We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

How is this being treated as normal? A Republican governor is declaring a state of emergency to cancel n ongoing election for Congress. If you think this is ends with redistricting, you are not paying attention.

Tell Congress: Block Trump’s illegal scheme to gut and sell off our national forests. Our public lands belong to the American people — not developers and polluters. Demand they act to protect our forests now actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Let’s all post it and see if they indict all of us.

Mexico didn’t pay for the wall, Trump gold cards didn’t balance the budget, there are no $2,000 DOGE or tariff refund checks, and donors aren’t paying for the ballroom.

Ban them everywhere.

Montana has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United through ballot referendum. And now, Hawaii is following suit with a new bill in its state legislature that would do the same. Here's what you should know about the plans, and how they could be replicated where you live.

Republican leadership intended to vote to gut the Endangered Species Act today… and then didn't have the support needed, so they pulled the bill. Happy Earth Day! 🌍

Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet. This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

Wow. Check out this Aussie telling it like it is. 1/2

Given Trump’s Easter threats to carry out new war crimes in Iran, we should think one or two steps ahead about a coup attempt connected to the war. And then deter it. (1/17)

If you're in Ohio, or know people there, today is the deadline to register to vote. Please CHECK to make sure you're still registered and weren't purged from the rolls.

My favorite sign, so far. #NoKings

Look how much money we lost because because Trump pardons corrupt people and cancels their debts. Apparently he pardoned 77 people guilty of Medicare fraud this week alone. I wonder how much they paid him? Those Somalians, though, right?🤷‍♀️

Lindsey Graham has a secret.

The exact same election rules are now in place when Republicans won the presidency, house and senate in 2024. But now suddenly Republicans are unable to win another election without the SAVE Act because everyone has been cheating. Makes sense.

To be clear, ICE agents are still being paid. TSA agents are not. A gut punch for these folks who have to work under this reality. 📌 Senate Dems tried 7 times to pass standalone funding bills specifically for TSA pay and operations during the partial DHS shutdown. Republicans blocked each attempt.

Strange situation where we await a statement from Iran to check whether there's any truth to what US president is saying.

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

I'm confused how an American president can reduce sanctions on two countries currently killing American citizens and others and remain in office. Perhaps 'treason' means something different in the US?

I'm not a political consultant but i feel like dems could probably get a lot of leverage out of pushing for green technologies that would wean the us off being dependent on oil in this particular moment

So when he bragged about grabbing women by the pussy, you were cool with that? When he made fun of a handicapped reporter, you were cool with that? When he had a mob attack the capital to steal the election, you were cool with that? But now gas is expensive so you regret your vote? Yeah?

NEW: Democratic AGs are asking a judge in California for a nationwide temporary restraining order blocking the acquisition of TEGNA (9NEWS) by Nexstar (Fox31) Motion says the Trump administration may have rushed approval of the deal yesterday to prevent a court from blocking it

"I don't think people are sufficiently prepared notwithstanding what happened in 2021, for the possibility that [Donald Trump] will try to fuck with this election. And he will. He's already basically telling us that's what he's going to do, just the same way he told us he would do that in 2020."

1. "Two dolls." 2. "Chicken, tortilla, and one other item." 3. "One less trip to Starbucks."

🤣 This wins the internet ⛽️🤭

Lieu: "I want the White House to send Kevin Hassett to every single TV channel and to every single swing House district where he can tell the voters of America that hurting consumers is 'the last of our concerns.'"

NEW: A federal judge in Colorado has ruled the Trump administration's threat to SNAP (food stamps) benefits in Colorado is illegal and rooted in retribution for keeping Tina Peters in prison.

NEW: Trump administration is being sued by consortium of 100+ universities to stop the breakup of the NCAR lab in Colorado. Alleges that the feds "are waging a campaign of retribution against the State of Colorado" over mail-in ballots and the imprisonment of Tina Peters.

"Trump will continue to claim prices are falling when they aren’t, bc he doesn’t care whether prices are falling and thinks voters too stupid to notice his lies. He will also occasionally continue to boast that prices are up while doing everything he can to enact policies that harm working people."

‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

So dark. Kushner raises billions for his fund while the family of a soldier killed in Truml’s war gets help on Go Fund Me: www.gofundme.com/f/major-alex...

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

This is interesting. It’s from Caolan Robertson, an independent reporter on the front lines in Ukraine.

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.
