I would love to see someone in the press ask Trump and every one of his “talking head” stooges why the MAGA “America First” movement is so bullish about protecting and advancing Russian interests.

Our life has to continue, but leaving my wife gets harder and harder, Dnipro 🇺🇦

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

BREAKING: Hungary just saw a stunning political shakeup. Opposition leader Péter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán personally called to congratulate him on his victory, marking the imminent end to Orbán’s long grip on power.

Breaking: According to Hungarian media, Viktor Orban has conceded the election and congratulated Péter Magyar on his victory. 🔥🔥🔥 #HungaryIsFree

At 45% of votes tallied, the results are frankly astonishing. 🔥 Orban & Fidesz have had a chokehold on Hungary for 16 years, ruling by decree with 2/3rd majority. They said it couldn't be done. Yet here we are, a sea of blue. Rubbing my eyes, praying this holds up. #Tisza

Yesterday, I visited an apartment in Harlem with HPD inspectors to check for lead-based paint and other hazards. To protect families, NYC requires inspections of homes built before 1960 with children under 6. If your home has lead-based paint, or other hazards, call 311 or file a complaint online.

Pontifex maximus takes on Pete Hegseth head-on over blasphemous statements made on Easter, as he attempted to enlist the passion of Christ as a part of his war narrative. The Guardian is alone among major papers in providing a complete breakdown.

Imagine being this broken that you try to turn someone else’s commute into a funeral. Makes you want to rethink venturing out.

Trump and Hegseth halted funding for research to get blood to wounded U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy sailors: "When someone is wounded and survival depends on the availability of blood, this software would have made that survival more likely. Now it will not." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/s...

And why do we think it's just Russia. Of all the countries in the world, just Russia. Huh. "The Trump administration has not confirmed whether it will allow countries other than Russia to send oil to Cuba..." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/w...

BREAKING: We're challenging President Trump's executive order that aims to restrict mail-in voting. Once again, the president is trying to seize power he doesn't have at the expense of our democracy.

Don’t let this go by unnoticed

Bombing residential buildings to kill “moderate” politicians trying to broker a deal. Absolute madness. Either Trump is lying about wanting a deal, or Netanyahu wants to kill anyone who might help it happen. Or both. Again: Bibi hated the Iran Deal because it worked.

Trump Planning Something In Midterms Trump said he “should take over the voting” “ought to nationalize the voting.” will only accept the results “if the elections are honest.” Republicans give him cover and say he's not serious. His actions say otherwise. www.wired.com/story/this-i...

Just to recap: Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops. In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist
