Sen. Schiff on Meet the Press: The Pentagon already got $150B extra last year. They have what they need. We’ve spent $11 BILLION in days on this Iran war. That’s money for hospitals. For schools. For Americans. Not one more dollar.

Glad to see the Target Boycott is trending. We’re urging our members, & our communities to shop local, not Target for Back to School. Target has not supported Minnesota,the place they got their start, so we are shopping elsewhere www.aft.org/resolution/a... @shanembailey.com @aaronblack.bsky.social

Mail-in voting is safe, secure, convenient and used nearly equally by all political affiliations. President Trump uses it for these very reasons. apnews.com/article/post...

5-Alarm Fire: A survey by the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) confirms that 70% of responding farmers feel fertilizer prices are so high they cannot afford the necessary supplies for this year's crops. This is a direct result of Trump's war with Iran and closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

$200 billion materialized overnight for Trump’s war of choice in Iran. But for 25 million uninsured Americans, Congressional Republicans have nothing. No urgency. No bill. No vote. They fund what they value. Sen. Warnock is right. Americans deserve more. #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

BOYCOTT DOOR DASH.. there are a lot of other firms out there doing the same thing that don't bow down to the DIPSHIT

Glad to have you here, sir!

DOGE turbocharged the deficit, achieving no savings. The IRS reductions from funding and layoffs have likely resulted in about $861 bn in decreased revenue. The layoffs from actions like DOGE alone have likely resulted in $597.8 bn in decreased revenue over the 2026-2035.

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

ProPublica and @frontlinepbs.bsky.social found more than 300 protesters and bystanders who were arrested on charges like assaulting an immigration agent or interfering with law enforcement. Over and over, the accusations fell apart under scrutiny.

Forbes estimates Trump’s net worth is now $6.3 billion, soaring 60% from before he returned to office, striking given how much the Trump Organization struggled previously. Conflicts pile up in this 2nd term that are considered unprecedented, blatant and dangerous to democracy. AP

Outrageous. Trump requested $1.5 trillion in new defense spending, the largest annual military budget increase in 50+ years. This money is coming out of funds that could cover health care, food, & child care for OUR children and families, paid for by OUR tax dollars. #HealthCareNotTrumpsWar

And this is why the American people can’t have important things like healthcare, food support, and education.

Sen. Tina Smith: Republicans just found $200 billion for a war in Iran but are cutting healthcare for 300,000 Americans to pay for it. Families shouldn’t have to choose between rent and insulin so Republicans can fund a forever war. We need healthcare—NOT WAR! #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

End the Electoral College once and for all!

Periodic reminder that the president has lost his fucking mind

Should be part of his next test.

i feel bad for our country but this is tremendous content

JD Vance is supposedly a Catholic who believes the pope is infallible on matters of faith and morals. The pope says the Trump-Vance conduct of the war is immoral. Vance’s rejection of the pope’s words raises the question of whether the VP is worshipping his faith or his ambition.

Trump has cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration, as I predicted. While illegal entries have fallen, they continued a prior trend, falling more before he came back. Meanwhile, Trump has drastically cut legal entries, reversing the prior upward trend. www.cato.org/blog/trump-h...

David does excellent work, and this entire thread is worth reading.

Senate is in play! Let’s flip the Senate… GOP is sinking 300 million. We need to help the candidates! www.sherrodbrown.com

This chart is stunning.

Max Burns: With a net approval rating of -43, Donald Trump has surpassed Richard Nixon's final approval rating of -42 to become the most unpopular president in modern history. Nixon posted his eye-popping -42 net approval in the final poll of his presidency, between 8/2-8/5 of 1974.

Keep your foot on the gas y’all!💪🏾😤 We can get him a ticket to the big dance in November if we stay focused and keep getting the word out about #XavierBecerra Don’t ever think your voice is too small to make a difference. This is because of us coming together! www.scopeweekly.com/2026/04/from...

Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock on passing a war powers resolution: "We are calling on our Republican colleagues to stand up and do their job. The American people are clear, they do not want this war, and it's up to us to hold this unhinged, unaccountable president accountable."

Trump is touting the no tax on tips provision in his budget bill. But many tipped workers won't benefit because their earnings are so low. And the provision expires in 2028. The estate tax cuts that primarily benefit the rich? Those were made permanent. Funny how that works.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

This non-Catholic is 💯 Team Leo.

NEW: Democratic Women's Caucus chair Teresa Leger Fernández plans to move forward with a resolution to expel GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales despite Swalwell's resignation, I'm told. She is "not backing down," a source familiar w/ the matter tells me. "Gonzales must also go."

Since Republicans are so concerned about sexual misconduct now, let's also have them vote to expel tony gonzales and jim jordan from Congress, impeach trump and remove kavanaugh and thomas from SCOTUS.

Regret to inform everyone that Peter Magyar beat the world’s smartest illiberal populist in large measure by working incredibly hard for 2 straight years, meaning the rest of us are just going to have to get off our asses and do shit rather than just complaining.

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

National Popular Vote interstate compact.

Chaska MN residents have been protesting every weekend for over a year now.

Good morning to everyone who voted for Kamala Harris.

I was elected as a democratic socialist, and will continue to govern as a democratic socialist. 100 days in — and we’re just getting started.

OK, now do bribes.

People all over the country are doing the work! Postcards to Voters is just one group - and look how many volunteer writers they had working on WI and GA! Both had 25 average blue shift. That’s power. Individuals together making a difference. Don’t lose hope — DO SOMETHING

LET’S NOT F*CK THIS UP 📌 Xavier Becerra knows California. He’s one of us. 📌 Steve Hilton knows Brexit. And Fox News.

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise. He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media. The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

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

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap. I can’t believe it 😭
