Add going to war with the Pope and losing that one too to Trump’s record.

We’re excited to join May Day Strong, labor groups, and other allies to flex our economic power in a massive day of economic disruption on May 1. There are many ways you can take action, from refusing to shop, to walking out of work, to attending a demonstration: www.mobilize.us/mayday/?utm_...

That’s on her. She knew about the many previous times that Trump didn’t pay his bills (including stiffing his lawyers), She deserves to not be paid. Hopefully, she learned a lesson (doubtful).

Trump stiffed the lawyer who cross-examined Stormy Daniels in his trial - never paid her bill.

Four days. Wrong brother got the K9s. Message delivered. This is how it starts. The Pope knows

Bomb threat. Pope's brother. 70-year-old retired principal. Four days after Trump publicly attacked the Pope AND publicly said which brother he liked better... K9 units rolled on the brother he didn't. This is a signal story. And I wrote it tonight. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

No amount of word salad from Texas Governor Greg Abbott can spin him trying to defund the police in Houston by asking them to refund money that funds the police. Weaponized government in action. You can do better than this guy, Texas.

There's been major flooding in Michigan. Have Republicans in Congress funded FEMA yet? Nope.

Important note: Hezbollah has said it WILL NOT agree to a ceasefire—so it’s unclear what effect this ceasefire will really have.

Allbirds was a shoe company whose business was declining. Eventually, the company sold off its assets for less than 1% of its previous valuation. But when it announced it would rebrand from shoes to AI, its market value jumped more than 500%. Wondering if AI is a bubble? Watch this.

“I believe Jane Doe 4 received a settlement” Epstein’s accountant said the woman who alleges Trump & Epstein abused her as an underage teen did receive a settlement… He then tried to retract it saying “he can no longer confirm or deny”: www.thedailybeast.com/epstein-acco...

So…rhetoric gets turned up, targets get named, temperature rises… …and suddenly there’s a bomb threat tied to it. Yeah…Pope Leo’s brother just received a BOMB THREAT. But sure, it’s all just “talk,” right? Funny how “just words” keep producing very real consequences.

BREAKING: U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire starting at midnight in Lebanon. Hezbollah did not participate in the U.S.-hosted ceasefire talks.

Franklin Graham today: the Pope should thank Trump. Let that sit for a second. My new piece on how the Trump movement uses faith as a costume — and what happens when real religious leaders push back. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

There was a bomb threat at the Chicagoland home of Pope Leo’s brother, John Prevost, last night. Neighbors and nearby residents in New Lenox, Illinois were forced to evacuate while police conducted searches. Thankfully, no explosive devices were found. 🧵

Bastards.

An effort to force President Donald Trump to seek congressional approval for further war actions in Iran failed in the U.S. Senate for the fourth time Wednesday, with all but one Republican continuing to support the president’s Middle East conflict. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/16/r...

It’s been a week and a half since the second crew member was rescued from the F-15E Strike Eagle that Iran shot down. Why haven’t we heard anything more about him, or is he in Butler, Pennsylvania?

Today, more than 80% of the Democratic caucus stood with the American people and voted to block U.S. military aid to Netanyahu and his horrific, illegal wars.

... and Fetterman!

Yet again, Senate Republicans (and their colleague Fetterman) have blocked Democrats’ legislation aimed at stopping Trump’s illegal war on Iran. Email your senators and urge them to keep fighting (or let them know how you feel about their latest betrayal): act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

JUST NOW: Bernie’s effort to block military aid to Israel FAILS with 40 votes @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty voted to sell more bombs and bulldozers to Israel — along with the rest of the Republicans and 7 Dems… including @SenSchumer 🤔

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.

For nearly a half century, trickle-down economic policies have resulted in a tax system rigged in favor of the rich. This is not only bad for our economy, but it’s leading to a billionaire takeover of our democracy as well. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkiO0_uSJAk

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.

Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY): We had record distributions in my county in Wyoming of Meals on Wheels, which is an indication that more and more people are turning to subsidized food opportunities. So I’m worried, and I admit that. But for now, I have patience.

This man must never become president.

The solution to high gas prices according to a Chevron executive? "People should try to drive less.“ 😒

Is America too divided to even listen to each other anymore? I’m traveling the country this yr to find out. Every 2wks, I’m putting people in a room who don’t think alike and we’re having tough, honest conversations. It’s called hopenotfearproject.org.👇iframe.mediadelivery.net/embed/483639...46

a trump kid or two did the same thing, if I recall correctly

Turns out a garbage event was run by a garbage guy who kept the “charity” money www.wsj.com/us-news/new-...

Today seems like a good day to ask the question: Should billionaires exist? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTAlWw9Hbcg

Trump officials have been peddling the same lies to survive the daily news cycle for the past 6 weeks, and people keep buying what they’re selling. ‘We won the war. Tomorrow you’ll see. Prices are coming down. Tomorrow you’ll see. We’ll kill them. Tomorrow you’ll see.’

🚨BREAKING: The California Supreme Court permanently disbarred John Eastman — a key architect in President Donald Trump’s failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election — delivering one of the most consequential professional penalties yet for an election denier. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🚨BREAKING: John Eastman — who helped lead Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election — has been permanently disbarred by the California Supreme Court. The ruling delivers one of the most significant professional consequences yet for an election denier.

Stephen Miller claims the Democratic Party "controls its members through blackmail." Methinks that Netanyahu and Putin control Donald Trump through blackmail in the Epstein files.

Wow

Remember John Eastman, the douchebag attorney who masterminded Trump's attempt to overturn the election in 2020? Well, his petition was DENIED by the California Supreme Court, which means he's officially DISBARRED.

The fact that all of the Republican policies make it impossibly expensive to have children couldn’t have anything to do with it, could it? I just saw a report the other day that raising children now costs $300,000 PER CHILD in America - and that doesn’t count college costs. Republicans are STUPID!

Many on the right are concerned that teens are having fewer babies.

🗳️ Are you concerned that Trump could interfere in the 2026 midterms? You’re not alone. Nearly half of Americans worry that the administration will seize ballots in the upcoming midterm elections, according to a new poll. https://bit.ly/4tGSZp3

🚨BREAKING: GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales of Texas announced that he will RETIRE from Congress amid bipartisan calls to expel him. Gonzales had already said he would not seek reelection after admitting to an affair with a staff member, who later died by suicide.
