This doesn’t make sense. Service members routinely operate in confined / small spaces that are perfect for airborne viruses to transmit and to mutate. This isn’t mere foolishness. It’s maliciousness bordering on criminal in its potential effect on the readiness of our military.

Republican leaders tried to pass a five-year extension of surveillance authority in the dead of night. The bill does not enhance privacy protection. It risks expanding the ability of the Trump administration to spy on the American people. Unacceptable. That’s why we just shut the bill down.

What could go wrong???

Here in North Carolina and around the country, gas prices are too high. This is a direct result of Donald Trump's war of choice in Iran, and the American people are paying the price.

With Earth Day coming up on Wednesday, our California Climate Action Corps is mobilizing across the state to plant trees and native plants, restore habitats, and feed families. By showing up for Californians and our planet, these volunteers are creating lasting change.

California is the nation's LARGEST donor state — sending $275 BILLION more in taxes to Washington than we get back. Donald Trump can lie all he wants about the Golden State, but we're the ones paying his bills and keeping the U.S. economy afloat.

Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants. He says DOJ is damaging its credibility with the courts by trying to shield ICE from scrutiny. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge Hurson says DHS's planned conversion of a Maryland warehouse into an immigration detention facility ignored some basic environmental impacts — like how adding 100s of people to a place that currently has 4 toilets might impact the sewer system storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...

Remembering these innocent babies and the teachers who tried to protect them. 🫶

NOTABLE: Judge Walker swiped broadly at the media but also praised Boasberg as "widely respected." Judge Childs warned, in an 80-page dissent, that the court was doing grave damage to its own authority. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

The move by DOJ would wipe away prosecutors' most hard-fought convictions in the years that followed the Jan. 6 riot, erasing legal consequences for the people DOJ once said were most responsible for the chaos and violence that unfolded. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

All of the men had their sentences commuted — but not pardoned — by Donald Trump last year and continued to appeal their cases. But with key deadlines coming up, DOJ said it was not "in the interests of justice" to continue fighting the appeal. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

A federal judge slapped a $250 fine on a DOJ attorney for repeatedly missing deadlines in habeas cases. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge Stearns orders a bond hearing for a high school senior in Massachusetts whose parents served as translators for the US military in Afghanistan. He was detained last week, despite having valid parole status through Oct. 2026, and has no criminal record, Stearns indicates.

Eastman’s disbarment was immediately condemned by other Trump 2020 allies like Sidney Powell and Jeff Clark. But one of the key witnesses against Eastman at his bar trial hailed the ruling as “a just end to a story of injustice.” www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Justice is sweet!

Jim Jordan is commenting on Eric Swalwell's sexual misconduct allegations. Jordan was assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State while team doctor Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 athletes. Multiple wrestlers testified under oath they told Jordan. He did nothing. He was never charged.

The USS George H.W. Bush is sailing around the tip of Africa right now... toward a war zone...carrying 6,000 Americans. A third carrier. 10,000 more troops arriving before April 22nd. That's the ceasefire deadline. Do the math. Full breakdown at the link. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

BREAKING: The U.S. bishops’ Committee on Doctrine just issued a formal statement defending Pope Leo XIV's teaching authority on just war doctrine — less than twelve hours after JD Vance told a Turning Point USA crowd the pope should “be careful” talking theology. This is a serious escalation.

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

The White House Correspondents' Dinner later this month – with Trump as guest of honor – is shaping up as an embarrassing surrender to a criminal president who is trying to destroy the free press. Cancel the damn dinner. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Over 250,000 Americans are now demanding impeachment of Trump over allegations of corruption and abuse of power. This isn’t “politics as usual” anymore—it’s a widening public alarm about industrial-scale corruption at the highest level. www.commondreams.org/opinion/move...

🇺🇸 SOLDIER: “We moved closer to Iran, to a deeply unsafe known target. No good reason articulated.” Q: “Were these deaths preventable?” 🇺🇸 SOLDIER: “Absolutely.” Q: “Hegseth said it was fortified. What fortifications were there?” 🇺🇸 SOLDIER: “I’d put it in the none category.”

Time and again, voters pay the price when federal courts ignore important facts. The Supreme Court shouldn’t make the same mistake in this term’s case on mail voting. bit.ly/47SVP1Q

We must be clear eyed about what is at stake with the Supreme Court right now. We cannot allow Donald Trump to hand pick one, if not two, additional justices. The nation's highest court must be stopped from becoming even more beholden to him.

Donald Trump votes by mail. But this week, he signed an Executive Order so you can’t. Why? Because he is scared of your power, and he is scared of losing the midterms.

Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people. We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.

Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu. Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran? Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to President Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused.

Dolores Huerta is a transformative pioneer for the farm labor movement. She is a powerhouse for working people, civil rights, and justice. This Dolores Huerta Day, I urge all Californians to take inspiration from her example and work to make a positive impact in their community.

We’ve taken down a hospice fraud ring responsible for $267 Million in fraud against the Medi-Cal system. This isn’t a political game for us. This is about protecting taxpayer dollars and the programs Californians rely on.

MUST READ for anyone who is interested in taking power back from corporations in the US. Even though ending Citizens United at the Federal level is impossible, the states have the power and Montana is leading the charge! 💪👇

More than 200 civilians have been killed by drone strikes in Sudan's Kordofan region and White Nile state since 4 March alone, the UN's top human rights official reported, as the country's war enters its fourth year with no accountability in sight.

Listen to Bruce Springsteen from last night tell us why he and the E Street band have come out to offer hope and strength in this time we are all living through. May we all find our way to the House of a Thousand Guitars. Take his inspiration - we are in this together!!! 🇺🇸

"Members of Congress take oaths of office in the same way that the President does. And if the President's not obeying his oath of office, the Constitution gives them the power, the obligation, & the duty to exercise their constitutional duty & obligation to impeach & remove the criminal president."

Watch Zelenskyy call Russia's bluff. Putin says he wants peace, meanwhile: ❌ Refused to meet at the leader level. ❌ Refused forces on the ground to prevent the next attack. ❌ Russia has millions of km², yet Putin demands the Donbas.
