Just over a month into the war in Iran, Pete Hegseth has purged the Army’s top officer—and the Army secretary’s job is also in jeopardy, Missy Ryan, Nancy A. Youssef, and Sarah Fitzpatrick report:

Donald Trump had time to take Tiger Woods' call after he crashed his car again, but I don't see him addressing the American people after a U.S. fighter jet was shot down in Iran and there's a desperate search to find the pilots. I guess daddy's not home today.

Another ridiculous waste of money from the guy who bankrupted casinos.

Arkansas officials saw that 78% of new voters were under 20 and panicked. They tried to kill the program overnight, but a federal judge just stepped in with a ruling that changes everything. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/this-week-...

Arkansas thought they could sneak a rule change past the public to stop an online registration tool from working. Lead counsel Uzoma Nkwonta just exposed the real motive behind the move—and it’s a must-read for anyone worried about voter suppression. www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/this-week-...

Raskin: "It doesn't give me a lot of comfort that Todd Blanche is now the acting AG. This is the guy who transferred Ghislaine Maxwell from the higher security prison to the low security prison camp in Texas."

Their ignorance knows no bounds.

This looks exactly like what the US, or Hollywood, would've accused despotic third world governments of doing in past administrations. From now on, they don't get to stand on a higher moral pedestal spouting the same smug self-righteous propaganda lecturing some other regimes.

GOP Rep. Jeff Van Drew to Americans struggling with rising costs: "Better just keep breaking your back and working hard, maybe get yet another job."

People need to realize the Trump regime is trying to remake the military the way they remade the Justice Department. The fascists are moving very fast. Many steps forward for every scandalous step back. The midterms are still far away and what’s done now will determine whether they’re free and fair.

The texts are in the latest defense filing in the "Broadview 6" case. The feds have angrily denied any claim of selective prosecution. But the defense says the feds' "overheated rhetoric" flows from a "conspicuous disregard of the undeniable fact" that Trump's DOJ shattered "time-honored norms."

Awesome trolling during trump's national address last night.

Nothing says “white men are superior” like invalidating the accomplishments of everyone who isn’t a white man so there’s no competition.

Trump either doesnt understand how many people rely on robust Medicare and Medicaid programs for healthcare needs or he doesn’t care. Suggesting states should foot the bill is nonsensical but signals his priorities (which aren’t healthcare)

I know this may be hard, but please try to restrain the Schadenfreude. The unceremonious sacking of Pam Bondi was, indeed, Karma at its bitchiest, but it is not going to fix what has already been broken at the Department of Justice. It may even make things worse. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

Don't watch Morning Joe anymore since "the ring kissing" but did this morning to hear John Fugelsang. Very worthy message for Easter and our present times. One of my favorite books from last year: SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND HATE by John Fugelsang share.google/9dGrJ027kvjS...

“These countries are under enormous pressure to buy from the sons of the president so he will do what they want. This is going to be the first family of a president to make a lot of money off war — a war he didn’t get the consent of Congress for.” - Richard Painter

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”

Senate should use the AG confirmation process to probe FBI readiness after Patel’s management. My thoughts in @usatoday.com www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

It is really sad to see how many US schools are eliminating visual art programs. It is worth a detailed report on the students, staff and faculty affected, but I don't know how many media outlets are interested in features on that.

This ruling confirms what we've said: Border Patrol cannot round people up just because they are brown, speak Spanish & work hard. The court made clear the Border Patrol raid on day laborers in Sacramento, like their raid on farm workers near Bakersfield was unconstitutional. 1/

Lawyer for Epstein survivors: It's important to recall that now acting AG Todd Blanche is the one that basically gave convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell a platform to deny things, say whatever she wanted, speak in praise of herself, speak in praise of Donald Trump with zero pushback.

Forget Bryon Noem. The spouse-of-a-Trump-Cabinet-Secretary you should pay attention to is Vince McMahon, who is currently being sued for sex trafficking and sexual assault. His accuser, Janel Grant, has filed a declaration with truly horrifying details. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The New York Times rolling up its sleeves to do the hard work of normalizing the idea that women should not have the right to vote.

Pam Bondi's firing once again underscores a singular Trumpian truth: that you’re useful to Donald Trump until you’re not, writes Inae Oh. This is a man who does not hesitate to discard anyone, no matter how much they’ve contorted themselves for the job.

Well, it's nice to have it confirmed that the aggression in so many confrontations with ICE were actually not only encouraged but demanded. newrepublic.com/post/208362/...

Trump's DOJ just ended its prosecution of the bank that helped Iran dodge U.S. sanctions, as what looks like a favor to his dictator buddy Erdogan. Trump sacrificed U.S. servicemembers' lives and spiked gas prices to attack Iran, but he lets Iran's bankers off scot-free. It's all a grift.

Five strong wins this week: Michigan AG sued to block Trump prison in Romulus, Utah crushed $4.3M gerrymander, Delaware board halted polluting data center, and Trump’s general admits boat strikes are failing. Momentum is real.

So much corruption…

Elon Musk had DOGE defund USAID, the largest humanitarian organization in the world, causing HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of deaths from starvation and disease - and Trump GLEEFULLY approved it. It’s the single most evil act in US history. Cartoon by Mike Luckovich

Textbook corporate greed.

The fat orange turd shits all over the place, she crawls through it on her hands and knees and eats as much as she can hold AND IT STILL WASN’T ENOUGH

Pam Bondi’s swift dismissal on Thursday underscores a reality that has met Trump loyalists from Jeff Sessions to Kristi Noem – no amount of loyalty is enough to save oneself from being dumped by Donald Trump

That should work with voters..

Drain the swamp.
