Thomas Massie pushed for the release of the Epstein files, and the response has been tens of millions in outside spending, smear campaigns, and coordinated attacks. If this is what they do to a sitting member of Congress, imagine what Epstein survivors face when considering whether to come forward.

Could Login.gov become even MORE of a disaster? I didn’t think that was possible 😳

After ICE bought a vacant warehouse to convert into a detention facility, residents of the conservative town of Roxbury, NJ have come together to halt its construction. There's a great pushback to Trump's fascism happening across the entire country — even in deep red areas.

🚨BREAKING: Trump appointed federal judge in Arizona hands DOJ its sixth defeat in its efforts to gain access to state voter files. DOJ is now 0-6 in these cases. Three of the defeats have come before Trump appointees. Increasingly possible DOJ might go 0-30. www.democracydocket.com/cases/arizon...

We submitted a FOIA request demanding information on Hegseth & Kid Rock's helicopter joyrides. He's apparently using taxpayer dollars to fly c-list celebrities in military helicopters while Trump's war causes chaos across the globe. We deserve to know how this was approved.

I’ve wondered since Saturday what happened to all the gunfire? There were more shots than ever were accounted for — and none sounded like a shotgun. And now it looks like the suspect never fired a weapon at all and all the gunfire was by the Secret Service:

Just print this out and paste it all over gas pumps in their states.

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

WTF indeed 😳.

Trump's losses are piling up: *Fed chair prosecution collapsed *Losing redistricting fight *SCOTUS struck down tariffs *Birthright citizenship push faltering *Iran not breaking *Effort to jail other foes imploding On the pod, @swin24.bsky.social is fun on all this: newrepublic.com/article/2095...

This isn’t new, but it is absurd. Trump announced Kushner’s nomination to be a special envoy in February, which meant Kushner had to file a public financial disclosure within 30 days of his appointment. He’s way overdue, and leaving the public in the dark.

Let us get this straight: Jared Kushner, who has not filed a financial disclosure or gotten a security clearance, as far as we know, is going to Pakistan to lead negotiations on an ongoing war while the VP and Secretary of State hang back?

How do you spell corruption? Trump.

👍🏼

Senate Republicans voted against lowering out-of-pocket health care costs, reversing cuts to food programs, and a measure to lower rising electricity prices in their budget blueprint. But they voted to give Trump’s ICE thugs $70 billion to keep terrorizing our communities. Priorities.

"Traders placed a series of bets worth $430M on a drop in crude prices just 15 minutes before U.S. President Donald Trump ​said he would extend a ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday." Reminder that the top official at the SEC responsible for investigating insider trading was recently forced out. Hello?

Anyone who shows up for this travesty is knowingly choosing to act as a prop for authoritarian kabuki because they’re too cowardly or amoral to pass up vapid schmoozing and free drinks. They deserve your contempt, and possibly a few pieces of rotting produce.

"Why yes Virginia, you can recall a judge." law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title...

Virginia voters spoke. MAGA lost. And now a rogue Republican judge is trying to override the will of the people because they didn’t like the outcome. That’s not democracy. That’s desperation.

Sweet Jesus. The taxpayers just gifted $1.25M to this asshole. KBJ was right when she said the Oval Office would become the seat of criminality in America if Roberts granted Trump immunity.

Today, Sec Bessent revealed that the Trump Admin plans to send BILLIONS of dollars to help other countries keep their economies afloat while ignoring needs here at home. Once again, the 'America First' president is focused everywhere except the wallets of working Americans.

Fragile snowflake Hegseth was jealous.

This is insane, tinpot authoritarian shit. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...

Re-elect Sen. Jon Ossoff, Georgia. And push out the Senate GOP majority, America. Think how things would change.

If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it. Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.

The dirtiest, most corrupt presidential administration EVER.

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.

😳

This is what Hegseth doesn’t want the media to cover.

👏🏻💙

Even GABBARD has figured out there’s still an issue with Section 702, and she’s a pretty dim bulb 💡

The historic Artemis II mission was an inspiration to millions as we begin a new era of space exploration. Congress must deliver NASA the funding it needs to continue our exploration of the Moon, and move on to the ultimate challenge — Mars.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., slammed the new tax law for terminating a free alternative for tax filing and putting taxpayers at the mercy of “tax software giants who overcharge for a service that ought to be free.”

This Tax Day, don't forget this: Donald Trump went out of his way to shut down the IRS' FREE and EASY tax filing program. But I have a bill to bring it back for good. Let's get it done.

If any reporters worth their salt are at the press conference with Karoline Leavitt and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent today… Then they should ask him why he’s blocking releasing the financial documents for the Epstein files.

Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, the United States had spent that money helping the people of the United States

NEW: Raskin, w/ 50 House Dem co-sponsors, formally introduces a bill which would create a commission to assess Trump's fitness for office under the 25th Amendment. Bill text here: www.documentcloud.org/documents/28... Story TK

Whoa whoa whoa, if the National Popular Vote Compact starts to gain momentum in Dem state legislatures we could *very easily* have it take effect in time for 2028

Donald Trump? The close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein? Gutting child trafficking oversight?

Hey Rep. Tony Gonzales, what’s the delay?

Bernie Sanders: “I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military.” Go Bernie!

The Hungarian people wisely refused to listen to these grifting scumbags.

ORBÁN HAS CONCEDED 60% in

JUST IN: Viktor Orban conceded his defeat in Hungary. The far-right leader & Trump ally will no longer be prime minister. What remains to be seen is the size of his defeat — and whether the opposition wins a supermajority to amend the constitution and reverse Orban’s rule.

MAGAT's need to sit this one out. Unlike the MAGAT/EPSTEIN class, Democrats have been immediate and forceful in their responses. They will not pretend nothing happened. If you refused to hold Trump, or Tony Gonzales, or others to account then just shut the fuck up.
