WATCH: “This is by definition CORPORATE WELFARE.” A surprising thing happened in the Tennessee house last night — Mark White’s latest tax break gift to FEDEX FAILED, dying 37-45-9👇🏽👀💰 Only 9 Dems + 28 Republicans voted YES (9 others passed)

FAVREAU: “$200 billion could eliminate nearly all medical debt in America, fund free community college for two decades, or feed 42 million Americans for two years. Instead, we're dropping bombs on Iran.” (From @podsaveamerica.crooked.com )

Right now, prediction markets might be regulated by: a) the federal government via the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) - which has 1 of 5 commissioners in place b) new legislation from Congress c) by states who not unreasonably say they have power to regulate gambling

Kalshi and Polymarket platforms have become the dominant players in an industry that didn’t meaningfully exist for ordinary Americans five years ago. They are everywhere, but with no agreement on a) what they are and b) who regulates them. Oh, and the President's son is vouching for both of them.

Here's the far more important story implicating Stephen Miller in advance plans to confront protestors before Pretti's murder. archive.is/dpQXo#select...

WATCH — @crampell.bsky.social : “Just 29% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the economy, lower than Biden ever got. His response? Slapping his face on a gold coin and his signature on your cash… while investors are already betting on 5% inflation this year.”

This is fucking bleak.

Nice to see a Mastodon shout-out on The Daily Show last night, thanks to @eff Executive Director Cindy Cohn! It's a longer segment, with some interesting nuance around social media and censorship later in the conversation. (disclosure: I am an EFF Member / […] [Original post on macaw.social]

CNN: Trump is Historically unpopular

NASHVILLE NC5: “With Trump threatening the destruction of Iran’s energy & water infrastructure on Kharg Island early Monday, oil prices spiked again, causing a ripple effect for the 🇺🇸 economy and hopeful summer travel plans.” www.scrippsnews.com/us-news/iran...

From the Don Lemon case, Magistrate Judge Douglas Micko. Uh, didn't you incompetents at DOJ notice that I already ruled on that motion to keep notes request three times?

Not sure I’d read a book on Catholicism by a guy who keeps getting personally called out by the Vatican for not understanding Catholicism.

Days after Daily Mail Implicates Stephen Miller in Alex Pretti Murder, Daily Mail Responds with Boobies emptywheel.net/2026/03/31/d...

OLIVER: “For 🇺🇸 conservatives, Hungarian dictator Victor Orban isn’t a cautionary tale - he’s a blueprint.” John’s latest on Orban is a warning ⚠️ showing Trump is very clearly following the dictator playbook — taking hold of elections, the courts, the media, etc 👇🏽

Putin continues to expand Russia’s sphere of influence and show Trump can’t/won’t stop him from doing anything👇🏽🤷🏼

*Iran lets only Pakistan's ships through* TRUMP: "That was a sign of respect to me." *Russia violates the Cuba blockade* TRUMP: "I let them do that. I prefer it." Weakness masquerading as strength. And some of y'all buy it. Meanwhile, people all over suffer. Including here.

ESTABLISHING THE TASK FORCE TO ELIMINATE FRAUD AND THEN SHAKE DOWN THE GUYS CONVICTED OF FRAUD FOR A LITTLE SUGAR

Hmm, beginning to suspect that Trump might not actually care about the protecting the victims of Medicare/Medicaid fraud. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/one-bad-id...

I understand what my liberal friends are sad about when they are nostalgic about the media centralization of the past, but they are forgetting the way that massive lies were propagated and never questioned in that environment. It is true that when Dan Rather did the news some things we see […]

Tell the news. It's nice to link to an article, or do more in depth analysis, but I really appreciate it when people who I trust and who are knowledgeable (especially in areas I know less about) summarize news and events. Even if it's very local stuff. Especially the local stuff. Big […]

What Trump has done is change the calculus so that those engaged in really big ticket fraud of public programs see a financial incentive to pay off parts of MAGA rather than pay restitution to victims. From a DOJ lawyer: donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

CLARKSVILLE: “He swiped over, and it was a full nude photo… if it was an accident he could’ve jerked his phone away. That’s not what happened.” A student shown 6-8 nude pics by the superintendent’s husband bravely speaks out. (Not yet fired or charged) From NC5

WILSON COUNTY, TN #NoKings

This morning, the Israeli Police prevented Cardinal Pierbattista Pizzaballa, Head of the Catholic Church in the Holy Land, together with the Custos of the Holy Land, the Most Reverend Fr. Francesco Ielpo, OFM, from entering the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, to celebrate the Palm Sunday Mass.

“I don’t approve of cramming your #religious faith down people’s throats, & when the top of the chain couches these operations in this hyper-#christian tone, it flies in the face of the #freedomofreligion that the #Constitution enshrines & that our men & women in uniform sign up to defend.” […]

"I'm a cop, I don't understand the law" is literally one of the most on-brand things I have ever heard in my life

There's circumstantial evidence that Miller ordered Greg Bovino to stoke these confrontations. Remember it was CBP, not ICE, that killed Pretti (and the guy who killed Good was former CBP and Bovino was in the neighborhood). Archive copy: archive.is/dpQXo#select...

Attacks on Stephen Miller getting far more specific in this Daily Mail (why are the best right-on-right hitjobs always laundered thru the UK?). 1) He ordered confrontation w/protestors b4 CBP murdered Alex Pretti. 2) He countermanded Trump order not to focus on farmworkers.

New from me: The Senate offered a bipartisan solution to the growing airport crisis. Mike Johnson rejected it, empowering Trump to selectively grab more legislative powers by illegally paying TSA agents. This is an actual constitutional crisis folks. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/mike-johns...

Feels appropriate to point out on No Kings day: Allowing Trump to selectively pay employees he likes, when he feels like it, rather than having Congress solve the problem, is a real constitutional threat. From @joshchafetz.bsky.social donmoynihan.substack.com/p/mike-johns...
