Morning friends. There are still those amongst us that need to wake up.

LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours

#ResistanceRoots Companies such as Deloitte and Zoom are cutting back on PTO, paid parental leave and other “perks.” The companies claim they need to cut costs amid economic uncertainty, but they’re diverting funds to AI investment. Let’s look at the history of PTO and parental leave in the U.S. /1

The president of piece of ass. That and money are all he really cares about

Housing for elders should not be an investment opportunity. Housing in general should not be an investment opportunity.

Trump’s pick to lead the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh, vowed Tuesday the central bank would remain “strictly independent”. Sen. Elizabeth Warren said he'd be Trump's "sock puppet" wisconsinexaminer.com/2026/04/21/r...

Don’t forget to vote Yes today! 💚

Virginians: Today's the last day to vote on an important redistricting measure. I hope you'll vote YES—for Virginia, and for the entire country. You have a chance to help level the playing field as Republicans seek an unfair advantage in Congress. Please take it. Get more info: IWillVote.com/VA

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history. Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes. But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year. Trickle down hoax.

If Hillary Clinton had to testify under oath to Congress about Epstein, why the hell hasn't Melania been brought in? Certainly far more connections to Jeffrey.

"I don't think people are sufficiently prepared notwithstanding what happened in 2021, for the possibility that he will try to fuck with this election. And he will. He's already basically telling us that's what he's going to do, just the same way he told us he would do that in 2020."

Labor and other allies of Mayor Zohran Mamdani are urging him to veto one of two City Council bills aimed at restricting protests around educational facilities, saying the “radical overreach” of the bill limits free speech and endangers New Yorkers. www.thecity.nyc/2026/04/17/m...

The fact that people in New York have just been putting bags of trash on the curb is absolutely wild to me as a Chicagoan.

The “big, beautiful bill” weakened crucial federal health-care and safety net programs. Tatyannah King reports on what it means for Black women’s health:

LEFT: What Donald is making our troops in Iran eat. RIGHT: What Donald is giving folks at Mar-a-Lago to eat. Honestly, I thought I was going to make this point a lot better than I can. The food at Mar-a-Lago may be richer and more plentiful, but it still looks like poorly-plated slop.

David Ellison will host an exclusive dinner “honoring” Trump next week. It comes as he’s waiting for regulatory approval of Paramount’s proposal to buy Warner Bros., which would create a massive pro-Trump media monopoly. What is he going to promise Trump at this dinner? Hello???

. It real funny how Congress keeps failing by the exact number of votes needed to not do a single damned thing. .

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

As if pulling innocent people off the street wasn’t cruel enough, ICE has been mining personal data to target immigrants and American citizens. How? With technology handed to them by Palantir. This is a complete breach of Minnesotans’ privacy, and I won’t stand for it.

The DOJ has shown no interest in the Epstein files aside from Epstein/Maxwell. Thousands of names. Decades of abuse. Not a single federal investigation. But Eric Swalwell? 5 accusers and a resignation letter and they're on it immediately. Justice isn't blind. It just knows which names to protect.

The TPM Social Club is joined this week by Max Rivlin-Nadler of Hell Gate.

Nothing like an absolutely fluent command of English at a time like this. Knowing the exact meaning of every plain syllable.

“He cheated on the golf course. He cheated on his taxes. He cheated on his wives. He cheated the business contractors he stiffed. He tried to cheat in the 2020 election. And now he’s trying to cheat on the 2026 midterms - because he knows he can’t win.”

Jim Jordan is commenting on Eric Swalwell's sexual misconduct allegations. Jordan was assistant wrestling coach at Ohio State while team doctor Richard Strauss sexually abused at least 177 athletes. Multiple wrestlers testified under oath they told Jordan. He did nothing. He was never charged.

Healthcare is screwed up in America Dropping more healthcare services to fund more wars for nothing but pretend defense makes no sense Yeah, that’s what he wants to do Or try to do

BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position? RUSS VOUGHT: Yes BOYLE: That's laughable!

We will be taxing the ultra-wealthy and global elites.

There’s nothing wrong with making fun of or celebrating the deaths of terrible people.

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Donald Trump bragged about grabbing women by the pussy. He was credibly accused of sexual assault by 20+ women. He is alleged to have raped at least one child. He was found liable of sexual abuse. And Republicans made him president. Twice. They don’t get to pearl clutch now.

Not feeling good about giving my hard earned money to the oligarchs, to fund illegal & unnecessary "wars,"or fund any of this admin's crooked schemes. Not at all 'good.'

I just can't 😂😂😂

Donald Trump and Melania Can't Escape the Ghost of Jeffrey Epstein! With Kait Justice open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

If you think the Pope is a radical leftist, wait till you meet his boss.

For all those still feeling the moon joy—Artemis II was brought to you by public schools and publicly funded science. Copy that! 👩‍🚀🚀💕 *All four astronauts went to public schools!

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress. We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

Americans! Look what a 77% voter turnout can achieve ! Resistance isn't futile..you just have to make some damn effort. I get so pissed off with those that complain about their political leaders but haven't bothered to vote! You vote for it- you own it. Otherwise STFU.

Interesting development. Fire fighters sre going to get s bigger paycheck while big corp and big brother suffer a massive loss. People are tired of being enslaved and forced to work till they drop

So in just one week, you threatened to nuke 93million people in the Middle East. Then you didn’t. Your wife declares she didn’t know Epstein but she did. You sent your best team to negotiate a ceasefire while you and Rubio watched UFC. Then you endorsed Orban who lost? Am I missing something here?

The American president counts Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un as his friends while denouncing the Pope.

Canada is also saying that Lebanon has to be included in any peace framework This is huge Because when Canada says it, it really means 100 other countries are saying it, but they don’t have the clout to say it and they need Canada to say it for them

⚡️⚡️⚡️ DON'T FORGET TRUMP RAPED LITTLE KIDS & COVERED UP THE EPSTEIN FILES ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Scotland temporarily ran entirely on wind power as turbines generated over 200 percent of national electricity demand.
