"To honor the origins of of our republic doesn’t mean going back to the eighteenth century. It means being rebels in our own time. It means demanding freedom, aiming for something radically better in the future."

"Sure, they imagined the world they wanted by looking backward a hundred years or a millennium: White; Christian Nationalist; patriarchal; extracted, hoarded, and owned by the 1%."

"What killed 1,500 humans in the icy waters of the North Atlantic was a collision of greed, indifference and arrogance that opened the eyes of the world to the excesses of an age run wild. It ended that night like this current gilded age will end."

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." –Justice Louis Brandeis

Promising pardons to criminals is something only a criminal would do. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Here we fixed this for you, @wsj.com We see you trying to help JD pretend he doesn’t have to wear this war when he runs for president. Nope.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

“We always seem to have money for war. But not to feed the poor.”

The shared excitement over NASA’s recent mission compared to the general indifference to SpaceX missions speaks to the power of something seen as the product of communal human effort rather than just the ego and avarice of one obnoxious dork.

EPSTEIN FILES NOW

Netanyahu’s lawyer claimed Friday the leader can’t testify due to “classified security ​and diplomatic reasons” connected to the Iran War.

“We want to live in a free, European Democracy. After 16 years of sorrow, corruption and Russian influence. We have had enough” The organisers & singers at the massive Budapest concert told me why Orban has to go.

Except we’ve spent $50 billion, the Strait is closed and 3000 people are dead. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Three presidents of all time are honored at the mall. Washington, Lincoln,Jefferson. Republicans think it’s fine for a sitting asshole to just put himself there on my dime? And it’s going to be turn down on my dime.

It’s a “fight for freedom” now? He just said it was 99% about no nuclear weapon.

"Which is interesting because it’s an illustration of the megalomania, the delusions of grandeur that really afflict the current U.S. administration, a complete inability to have a sense of the limits of American power."

"Last November, a new blockchain network known as AB announced it had partnered with a company with an impeccable political pedigree: World Liberty Financial, a booming cryptocurrency firm co-owned by the family of U.S. President Donald Trump."

Cartoon from Europe...

Tens of thousands chant “Russians, go home!” at tonight’s anti-Orbán concert in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square ahead of Sunday’s Hungarian election.

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has: -Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies -Cracked down on predatory landlords -Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program -Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets This is what leadership looks like.

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.

I'm so shocked. Said no one ever.

trump supporting Orban was another kiss of death www.euronews.com/2026/04/10/e...

Draft dodgers shouldn’t have the power to impose the draft.

"Bondi’s deposition is scheduled for April 14, and members of the Oversight Committee warn she will face contempt charges if she fails to appear."

"Much of what seems American in Trump and Vance came from Hungary, or from Russia via Hungary."

"So far immigration officials have spent a total of $1.074 billion for 11 warehouses. They’ve mostly faced fierce opposition. And days after Mullin was sworn in, the Department of Homeland Security paused the purchase of new warehouses intended to house immigrants."

"“As Minnesotans, we’re frustrated with the apparent lack of a full investigation, the lack of prosecution, and the lack of federal cooperation with local authorities"

"Occupy the Hall of Donors and create an assembly, a peoples’ gathering space for a stronger representative democracy."

"JD Vance was right: Illiberal kleptocratic Christian nationalism is on the ballot in Hungary this Sunday, just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. Here and there, may it be massively repudiated."

It is dangerous and traitorous that Trump wants to normalize ties with Belarus. This dictatorship fully backs Russia's assault on Ukraine. Easing pressure only benefits Putin and circumvents sanctions, undermining security to help an autocrat

EXCLUSIVE: Photos obtained by The Advocate of Reps. Buddy Carter and Mike Collins raise questions about hypocrisy as both lawmakers who’ve pushed anti-trans legislation compete to challenge Sen. Jon Ossoff.

The USA has threatened the Vatican as a country, the Roman Catholic Church as an entity, and the pope himself who is an American from Chicago!! newrepublic.com/post/208820/...

This week's edition of the UK's New Statesman magazine isn't pulling its punches.

#EpsteinFiles #TrumpEpsteinFiles #ToddBlancheEnablerLiar Todd, stop gaslighting America, we already know trump is in the files, you are protecting a pedophile instead of the American people. You must be making a lot of grift money to suck up to trump like you do. SHAME ON YOU.

There is no legitimate need for them.

"Our school is being ROBBED of the money we need...And now we're seeing all this money...get put on these warplanes, be dropped in bombs, be burned up for nothing." - Teacher in Chicago on the economic crisis his school faces during Trump's Iran War LIVE NOW ⬇️

Neither Trump nor his Administration can erase what we & the world saw this past week. I wonder what sort of mine field we are in now, until the end of his term, between him & JD Vance & the ppl aligned w/ them.

Trump agreed to a terrible deal to save face, but the damage was done with his unhinged, deranged threats to commit war crimes. He is unwell and unfit to serve. It's time to invoke the 25th and remove him.

"In response, Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi reposted the original statement from Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announcing the ceasefire and highlighted the text of the agreement that stipulated an “immediate ceasefire everywhere including Lebanon.”

"More to the point, it’s yet another example of Trump’s bone-deep corruption undermining American—and therefore his own—power. It is no surprise that Trump later boasted that the Hormuz toll might be done as a “joint venture,” presumably with himself, though I would guess that is wishful thinking."
