We’re going to take underdeveloped state-owned land near Metro or light rail stations and turn it into housing so people can live near transit and get to wherever they need to go. It’s a plan that’ll help lower housing costs, increase ridership, and bring in nearly $1.4 billion in tax revenue.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s illegal war on Iran is a tax hike on American small businesses and families. Enough. End the war, end Trump’s affordability crisis, and end the pain on Main Street.

Update on the peace negotiations.

The U.S. has made it impossible for many Venezuelans to stay legally, and their own country makes it difficult for them to return. They had their passports confiscated when entering the U.S., under a policy to speed up deportation should they be denied asylum — leaving them unable to fly home.

The fascist international: Donald Trump, JD Vance, Marine Le Pen, Vladimir Putin, have joined in a rousing show of warmth and support for Viktor Orbán. How's that playing? Hungarians see it as evidence that Orbán is the puppet of foreigners who don't have the country's best interests at heart

JD Vance discusses his wife jumping out of an airplane.

"I don’t give the president of the United States, who has agency here, any pass." –Rahm Emanuel on Trump's decision to go to war.

We just got the first numbers showing economic effects of the war in Iran. Headline inflation is up sharply, and there's more to come. Stay tuned.

An eye-popping 0.9% *monthly* rise in the CPI was driven mainly by rising energy prices. Core inflation rose a more sedate 0.2% in March.

The reason it feels hard to get ahead right now is because it's hard to get ahead right now. Wages are barely keeping up with prices, and prices are just starting to heat up.

We just got the first hard economic data showing the effects of the war, and it shows inflation surging. Lemme take two minutes to explain what it all means while talking into a baby koala's butt.

If corporations are lining up to donate to the White House, there are really only two explanations: either CEOs suddenly love paying taxes voluntarily... or they're expecting something in return. The question worth asking is simple: if they're buying, what is the White House selling?

The hungry red panda at the Prospect Park Zoo? Adorable. The HungryPanda delivery app scamming small businesses? Not adorable. So they will be paying $580,000 back. We'll keep pursuing companies that take advantage of New Yorkers, and we'll keep asking if we can pet a red panda just for a second.

You've GOT to check Martin Sheen's podcast while you're at it. I'm addicted.

I'm still dying to find out whether Trump tried to destroy video evidence on servers by draining the pool into the server room.

NEW: The DNC just passed a resolution condemning dark money donations - including those to AIPAC. A member of the DNC proposed a resolution condemning dark money through AIPAC, but the DNC panel rejected that and expanded it to include all dark money donations.

The president’s number one promise was to drive inflation down. Instead, he drove it up.

Boom !!! Netanyahu and his IDF are war criminals. A coalition of more than 70 countries, along with the European Union, has strongly condemned deadly attacks on United Nations peacekeepers in Lebanon, warning that such actions may constitute a war crime. youtu.be/Km0F2rysP7A?...

Gov. Spanberger is clear: Trump is trying to rig the 2026 midterms before a single vote is cast. Virginia can stop it. April 21 is your moment. Vote YES — because elections belong to voters, not MAGA. #VirginiaIsForVotingYes

"[Trump's] a dead bang narcissistic psychopath. ... I'm not a doctor, but ... if you have 5 out of 9 of the narcissistic personality disorder characteristics, you're a pathological narcissist. He's 9 for 9."

In case anyone is unclear that he and his family and friends are war profiteering, he included the stock ticker — seemingly to remove any doubt

Why are so many people focused on a Virginia ballot in the middle of April Simple. Republicans are gerrymandering every state they can to steal the midterms and protect Trump Dems just want to level the playing field If you live in VIRGINIA, VOTE YES now or on April 21 #VirginiaIsForVotingYes

A new poll in Hungary suggests that a majority of voters -and even half of the Fidesz supporters- would like to see changes in the country's hostile stance towards the EU. 2/3 of Hungarians trust the EU! That is good news and gives us hope that the Orbán era will come to an end! #RestoreDemocracy

🔥🔥 BREAKING: Pete Buttigieg is IN — he’ll be running for president in 2028! Raise your hand if that makes you happy! ✋

The firing is starting to make sense. All part of the cover-up. The Justice Department has informed the House Oversight Committee that former Attorney General Pam Bondi will not appear before

We upset the Trump person running the US Forest Service Facebook account. Read their latest post. Read their recent Facebook post. Here are the facts: - Research “continues”? 57 research stations are being closed across 31 states. That’s not continuing (that’s gutting).

The fact that there was almost zero push-back from elected Republican officials against Trump as he threatened a country with nuclear annihilation – is perhaps the darkest indictment of any government in human history.

yea, RIGHT.LOL

Dear Donald Trump, You are an ungrateful, disrespectful hosebag. Love, your NATO allies PS - Fuck you

- Only 15 state directors for the entire country. Many will oversee multiple states. That’s not closer management that’s less of it. The motto is “Caring for the Land and Serving People.” Hard to do that when you’ve fired the people and closed the offices.

Way to go Oregon! Gov. Tina Kotek signed a sweeping immigrant justice package yesterday eight new laws covering schools, hospitals, workplaces, courts, and law enforcement. This is what state-level resistance looks like.

The US is literally killing babies over the price of cheap eggs and White people’s hurt feelings.

GAME CHANGER: Montana just found the "exit ramp" to kill Citizens United. They aren't waiting for the Supreme Court—they’re going around them. 74% of voters are on board and corporate lawyers are PANICKING. This is how we win. 🏔️💸 www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/army-secre...

I voted for Kamala. I voted for Biden. I voted for Hillary. Our votes had not been counted on election day in Arizona when Harris conceded. NEVER IN OUR HISTORY HAS A CANDIDATE WON ALL SEVEN SWING STATES. NEITHER BIDEN OR HARRIS SAID A WORD ABOUT THE BIZARRE ELECTION. BOMB THREATS. STILL HASN’T.
