There is now momentum to revisit a range of long-blocked decisions. EU leaders are also pushing to move ahead with a 21st sanctions package against Russia. It would send another clear signal to Russia that Ukraine matters more to Europe than it does to them. My press remarks ahead of today’s #EUCO

The important macroeconomic question isn't: Have charges against Powell been dropped? It's this: Can the next Fed chair make an unpopular decision without fear of jail? The President has made no promises he won't jail the next guy, so no, the Fed isn't independent.

Yesterday, reporting from Denver confirmed that ADL was the source of a tip IDing Evergreen shooter Desmond Holly. Kash got a tip from the ADL, failed to use it to prevent a Nazi shooting, then cut ADL and SPLC off. Oops. Gonna make for AWK trial. emptywheel.net/2026/04/24/k...

ODNI scrubbed its entire FOIA website after a bombshell release to @freedom.press - so @jasonleopold.bsky.social FOIA'd to find out what happened. What he uncovered reeks of unlawful, partisan interference in the agency’s FOIA office at public expense - no matter what doc prompted the takedown.

Excellent. People are pissed. Now do something about it. Have you registered to vote? Do you have all the documentation you need in order to do so? Start planning now. Anger is good. Action is better.

JUST IN: The DC Circuit has rejected President Trump's effort to broadly block asylum applications (and other forms of relief) for potentially millions of people who say they're fleeing torture/persecution in their home countries. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

🚨BREAKING: In landmark First Amendment ruling, 11th Circuit REVERSES Roy Moore's low court defamation win. Unanimous opinion writing by conservative judge appointed by Donald Trump. A complete and total victory for our client Senate Majority PAC! Not tired of winning.😎

Just ask Joe Biden how easy it is to reverse that number once it gets there.

Oh no!!! TX judge dismisses Kash Patel's defamation case against Frank Filiuzzi, on which lawsuit Kash based much of yesterday's lawsuit against the Atlantic. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

They’re taking it well.

Kneel before Zod.

Too many of our kids are getting killed, because of thoughtless assholes like Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson. This mass shooting today happened in his own district. He said “thoughts and prayers” but did nothing AGAIN. Remember this when we can take back the House in November.

This war is so damn confusing. It’s why we shouldn’t let drunks and dementia patients run it.

Tom Homan tells WH reporters that illegal immigration is not a victimless crime. Nor is public corruption, like taking 50 K in a CAVA bag to influence government policy. How is he still in gov? “Border czar Homan fires back at Pope Leo, explains what Vatican leaders ‘don't know’ about immigration”

Trump says his life was better before he became president. Dude, everyone's lives were better before you became president… Everyone’s.

Thank you, Mark! Much appreciated. I love that meme! 🥰

The right-wing enshitification of media:

It's just not a Sunday unless Donald Trump is explicitly threatening war crimes.

Love David Byrne….hope the kids at Coachella were paying attention and appreciated the genius they were witnessing last night "Love and Kindness are a form of resistance"

"So Todd Blanche is appointing a lawyer formerly paid by Russian allies to discredit the Russian investigation to declassify and release a load of intelligence... in the guise of criminalizing counterintelligence investigations."

I have seriously lost track of how many times we've completely obliterated Iran's military and how many times Trump has reopened the Strait of Hormuz.

in a world of lauren bezoses, be a connie ballmer

This is around Bush 2006 numbers and lower than Obama 2014 numbers. Both times the president’s party got crushed by the “six year itch”.

Dude, you idiot.

You can call it a hoax. You can call it a staged event. But mostly you can call it the workings of a sick, demented man.

Kash Patel advisor Erica Knight says a “lawsuit is being filed” over The Atlantic’s article alleging that the FBI director’s drinking has been “a recurring source of concern across the government.” Patel retweeted the post.
