Khanna to Maria Bartiromo: "Barack Obama was a great statesman who left America much safer. I wouldn't put Donald Trump in the same paragraph. Obama actually did his homework ... all Donald Trump did is listen to Netanyahu. That's his entire foreign policy."

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

The world on two pair of draws???? That’s crazy

I feel like a lot of cosplayers have hit "professional Hollywood level costume and prop manufacturing" levels 😲

If you are as infuriated as you read this as I am, know that Congress not only has the power to fix the abuse of the Shadow Docket but also that the legislation is already drafted. We just need to get it to the floor. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

A large crowd as always at the weekly march in Tbilisi. Georgians have been protesting in 8+ cities every day for the last 507 days.

Any fans of the original 1995 movie Jumanji?

#MicroTreks Worf set a chalice of blood wine on the table before Jay-Den. “It has taken me many years to,” Worf considered his words carefully. “Understand my failure as a father.” “Knowing oneself is harder than knowing another,” Jay-Den observed, lifting the chalice. Worf’s brow raised. 1/7

The application has remained stable since approximately 9 PM PDT, April 16 despite ongoing Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks. We have not seen any evidence of unauthorized access to private user data. We will provide a further update by end of day.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

MacFarlane: Are we to pretend we didn’t watch all that on television on January 6th? Did we not all see what happened at the Capitol? These vacating of convictions, these pardons, are communicating to the American people: do not believe your lying eyes

BREAKING: A jury has found Live Nation and Ticketmaster to be an illegal monopoly that overcharges fans, per MorePerfectUnion

what’s funny about this is that tarantino wrote this “ezekiel 25:17“ for the film. it isn‘t actually in the bible. publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

You’re feeling this. He isn’t.

The Las Vegas Aces have reportedly signed reigning MVP A’ja Wilson to a three-year supermax contract worth $5 million, the largest deal in WNBA history, per ESPN’s Shams Charania.

You know who didn't go to the White House

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

Trump really is mentally ill. He’s in serious need of psychological intervention.

ZOHRAN: “I ran on taxing the rich — Today, we’re taxing the rich… the first ever pied-a-terre tax for second homes worth $5 Million+… $500 MILLION from the richest of the rich to fund child care, etc…💰” Promises kept.

WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public' IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position? RUSS VOUGHT: Yes BOYLE: That's laughable!

We need more folks in the Senate who know what it means to stretch $20 until the end of the month.

We will be taxing the ultra-wealthy and global elites.

Yes, please!!! gothamist.com/news/here-co...

A truly great President. We miss you Joe.

Someone is dying in ICE custody EVERY WEEK. And that doesn't even include the American citizens ICE has killed in the middle of our streets in broad daylight. It could not be more clear, ICE needs guardrails, not a blank check from Congress.

IT ABSOLUTELY THE FUCK IS NOT

Rand Paul: "Really, the debate now should be, is a 47 year old conflict an imminent threat? Were there changes in their nuclear program that made this an imminent threat? And I don't think the evidence is there that this was an imminent threat that would allow the president to go to war on his own."

Welcome to Bluesky. Here’s your copy of the Communist Manifesto and your season pass to the Eagles, Phillies, Flyers, and Sixers for some reason.

KERNEN: We'd never be able to send anyone back if you needed a judicial warrant every single time RAND PAUL: Well, I don't think that's true. Obeying the 4th Amendment of the Constitution shouldn't be too difficult. It's something we fought the revolution over.

The PR guy at DoorDash is having a bit of a crash out

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

I don't think my day can recover from "I thought it was me as a doctor." Let's call it a wrap.

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

Dementia Don, gets told to his face that his propaganda is BS, and "this grandma" does not like him.

Thousands of IRS enforcement agents have been pushed out since Trump returned. As a result, more complex audits of the rich and private equity firms have plunged. Trump's attacks on the IRS were never about "efficiency." They were about making it easier for the powerful to skirt what they owe.

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

Ossoff: "Trump apparently promised pardons for entire WH staff, which is what you do when you run it like a casino. Maybe the West Wing is too busy placing bets on the war to care, but American are getting hurt...in Trump’s America the well-connected get stock tips & everybody else makes sacrifices"

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's home has now reportedly been attacked twice in 3 days • One suspect was arrested after throwing a Molotov cocktail • A second incident involved a suspected single gunshot fired at the house (via SF Standard)

Reporter: Why did you attack Pope Leo? Trump: I don’t think he’s doing a very good job. He likes crime I guess. We don’t like a pope who says it’s ok to have a nuclear weapon. We don’t want a pope that says crime is ok. I am not a fan of Pope Leo.

all over the world, these guys are just exact xerox copies of each other. in this case, "istvan" is pronounced "JAYR-id"

Orban consolidated power by making the electoral system less proportional and gerrymandering districts of very unequal sizes. That gave Orban supermajorities when the opposition was divided and less popular—but it turned an opposition landslide into a supermajority that can now dismantle the regime
