i think folks might be unfamiliar with "the pharisees", so let's make it clear: he's saying the jews run the press, and that they are conspiring to undermine the military. it's not just antisemitism, it's indistinguishable from nazism.

Only the best people. “Kash Patel’s colleagues are alarmed by what they say is erratic behavior and excessive drinking. I spoke with more than two dozen people with knowledge of his conduct, some of whom described it as a national security vulnerability.”

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Judge temporarily blocks Nexstar-Tegna TV station merger over antitrust concerns.

"Crashes dropped from 668 in the 10 months before the bins arrived to 587 in the 10 months after the bins (a drop of 15 percent), and serious injuries dropped from 38 to 18, or nearly 53 percent, in the same time frame." Read the @nyc.streetsblog.org article: nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/04/17/c...

Change is in the air, New York. Here are a few things blooming.

Barack Obama: “Virginia, if you haven't done it already, make a plan to vote YES on the redistricting referendum. You can vote early by April 18 or on Election Day, April 21.” Find your polling place at IWillVote.com/VA.

Exactly one year ago today:

Singer D4vd has been arrested on suspicion of killing a 14-year-old girl whose decomposed body was found last year in his apparently abandoned Tesla that was towed from the Hollywood Hills, authorities said Thursday.

Epstein on tape advising former Israeli PM Barak to approach Palantir founder Peter Thiel. And there you have it 😲🤬🤬🤬

This is dictator shit

Donald Trump, an 80-year-old man, bizarrely claims on live TV that he is not a senior citizen. The US President is completely detached from his own physical reality. Having a leader this deeply confused commanding the military during a global war is terrifying.

This just failed.

Before going into why FBI is wrong, and Wyden is right here, worth adding a thread of how I get to that guess in the first place. And for that we need a bit of background. First off: what is Section 702?

So at the risk of maybe overreading this and making an educated guess, I think I can guess what specifically Wyden is talking about. I think it's about use of AI (LLMs) by FBI to surveil American communications without a warrant

NEW: Iran war powers resolution fails in House vote, 213 to 214 Democratic Rep. Jared Golden voted w/ the GOP against the measure, while Republican Rep. Thomas Massie voted with Dems for it. GOP Rep. Warren Davidson, who previously voted yes on it, voted "present" this time.

Sánchez ended her round of questioning telling RFK Jr. that she finds it "incredible" that he suspended the CDC's promotion of vaccines while "spending taxpayer dollars to drink milk shirtless in a hot tub with Kid Rock."

Trump’s huge military budget would be the largest in American history—more than WWII. @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social

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...

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

Can confirm

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate. Taxing billionaires is not radical. What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

This is urgent!! The vote will happen this afternoon!!!! Call your senators and every senator NOW!! They need to vote NO on HJR 140 to save the boundary waters and protect our public lands!! Please share and call!!

As you slog through tax paperwork today, remember that 40 years ago Ronald Reagan delivered an Oval Office address calling for a return-free tax system like the one that exists in other countries. Then remember Reagan's GOP has spent 40 years helping lobbyists block the proposal.

Stopped reading Mediaite awhile back because some of the stories were fantastical. Pure made-up things - sometimes quoting people saying things which were never said. Now I know why...

THIS kind of "intimate" relationship between Paramount and Trump is the reason why I am testifying this afternoon before a Senate panel against the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros., which owns CNN www.thedailybeast.com/new-cbs-boss...

it's bizarre that almost no one seems interested in progressive property taxes. Should be simple to administer and we know they hit the rich. If there is an argument against them, i have never seen it.

Trump 2 days ago: WE BLOCKADED THE STRAIT! NO ONE GETS THROUGH!! China yesterday: Nobody better fuck with our trade deals. The Strait is open to China. Trump today: The Strait is open to China! They are gonna thank me bigly! I’m such a friend to China!

Graham Platner’s actual words. A quote thread everyone should read:

In the midst of all the noise & chaos, the static & sadness, the loss & grief, I hope #Happiness gently lights upon you like a butterfly to remind you that Life is grand. #micropoetry #PoetrySky

There’s no excuse why Democrats haven’t flooded the airwaves about the plethora of sex offenders and pedophiles Donald Trump has personally put back into our neighborhoods.

Anybody got any sauna whisks?

And to be clear: I think Platner is utterly reprehensible and nothing about Mills excuses it. He's dishonest and sleazy on top of sporting a Nazi logo the size of a dinner plate for most of his adult life. But analytically, the lesson to draw is not more-Platner elsewhere, it's less-Mills.

#NYC mandatory heat in apt. buildings turns off tomorrow, April 15. Right now, it's 76 degrees at 9:45 PM and our heat is BLARING. We're walking around like we're in a sauna so I just poured water on the radiator. Steam heat, baby. The annual Right Of Spring. #NYCproblems

I once met Nicole Kidman. Her eyes were as deep and blue as a Minnesota lake and I found myself getting lost in them. That said, I think she'd make an amazing mortal midwife.

Smart compromise of Mamdani's "Tax The Rich" proposal. No one is gonna get mad at taxing rich folks who have a 2nd home in NYC. This is how we claw back the money the rich are hoarding.

NEWS — California Gov. Gavin Newsom has the special election to replace Rep. Eric Swalwell for August 18. CA-14 voted Harris +36 in 2024.

Just to be clear: the “Justice” Department is 1.) enabling obstruction of a bipartisan congressional subpoena for Pam Bondi and 2.) wiping out convictions of January 6th domestic terrorists.

Jeanine Pirro’s Prosecutors Make Surprise Visit to Fed Headquarters A pair of Pirro’s deputies were turned away after showing up at the construction site for central-bank renovation project Trying to gather "evidence" to continue their political persecution of Powell? www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

"It's like Trump's first term, but sadder."

AOC criticizes the fact that it took Swalwell’s resignation to trigger Gonzales’s: “what changed today, that he gets to resign today, as opposed to last week, two weeks ago, three weeks ago? and the difference was that they were waiting on some political horse trade of a number.

Folks, there are multiple ways to respond to this news. One is to brand the entire GOP as the pro-terrorism party. And hard.

Having covered nearly every minute of these trials, being extremely well versed in the evidence, I can tell you objectively that what this DOJ is doing is not normal and totally antithetical to the idea of justice. This is a stain on the DOJ.

A truly dark day for our country. www.huffpost.com/entry/us-cap...

Yes, ESPECIALLY if you're in Texas--he is on Senate Judiciary and so should be able to get these terrorist sympathizers on the phone.
