For over a half century, the Clean Air Act has protected our communities and our planet. But once again, the GOP is trying to gut this critical act—as a war is raging on the Middle East and there is a madman in the White House. Not on my watch. I will be voting a hell NO.

We need more folks in the Senate who know what it means to stretch $20 until the end of the month.

www.cnn.com/2026/04/15/p... Organizer of SantaCon, an annual bar crawl where attendees dress up as Santa Claus, was arrested and charged with stealing more than $1 million intended for charity. Pildes allegedly used the money to bankroll a $365,000 renovation of a New Jersey lakefront property…

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

TODAY: Bondi is a no-show, Raskin introduces 25th Amendment legislation, and Spanberger ends tax breaks for confederate groups. Free to listen and subscribe! the-daily-beans.simplecast.com

The orange felon isn’t just simply “whitewashing” January 6, he and MAGA lunatic drunkard Jeanine Pirro are actively engaging in a treasonous coverup by choosing to vacate all of the remaining seditious conspiracy convictions against his January 6 terrorists. They belong in jail.

Last year, I told New Yorkers: we would open city-owned grocery stores to take on the affordability crisis. Today, we're delivering five stores in each borough — with the first opening next year. Here's to healthy families, thriving communities, and promises kept.

NEW: Donald Trump’s fundraising operation is telling supporters they’ve been “promoted” to Midterm Senior Strategist. The April 14 email urges recipients to click “ACCEPT PROMOTION”… which simply redirects them to a donation page.

Your Tax Day reminder that Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill gutted food stamps and healthcare to dole out tax cuts for giant corporations and the billionaires that run them. The midterms are just months away. Remember this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hbwm7LrKW0

I was proud to present a $931,200 check to TriMet leadership after securing this funding to support TriMet in implementing their next-generation Transit Signal Priority program, which will result in faster buses for our neighbors.

NEW: Republicans (and Fetterman) just BLOCKED a war powers resolution in the Senate. Rand Paul voted with all Democrats. Senate Republicans (and Fetterman) are now on record in support of this illegal war.

Creepy scumbag JD Vance continues to threaten Pope Leo by saying he should be careful when opining on theology. The Pope’s duty includes opining on theology and unlike JD, Pope Leo is highly qualified for his elected position. JD can STFU.

MR. GLOBAL: “This is not some 5-D chess move by Trump — this is the result of a DISASTER.” @mrglobaltoo.bsky.social explains why 100+ oil tankers coming to 🇺🇸 isn’t good, and is actually a sign Trump has broken the global oil supply chain, hurting consumers. Full: youtu.be/ETC7RMpTGWw?...

This Tax Day, billionaires are cashing in on Trump and Republicans’ One Big, Ugly Bill while working Americans are squeezed by rising costs on everything from groceries to health care. We must end the giveaways to billionaires and put working families first.

New evidence obtained through our oversight team shows just how mismanaged and careless DOGE’s cuts to critical federal services and funding were. The American people deserve better. So we won't stop holding DOGE accountable.

This is good news. The 8th Circuit here is saying that while the plaintiffs (who want to bar this trans athlete from playing) have standing to sue, they do not meet the burden of proving intentional discrimination against their one cis plaintiff under Title IX. 1/

A jury has ruled that Live Nation-Ticketmaster is an illegal monopoly. A judge will determine whether or not to break the company up, in addition to other damages. This is a big deal. Remember that the Trump admin tried to settle the lawsuit with a slap on the wrist — but state AGs said no way.

Coming up on Uncovered at 4 ET: nobody shows up for Vance, Trump attacks Pope & Meloni, Trump Jesus, FEMA official teleporting to Waffle House, Door Dash Grandma, Magyar to expose MAGA grifters, Trump at UFC, Iran update & lots more! www.youtube.com/live/FPSUszA...

We're taking our Iowans Over Insiders message to every corner of the state. Check out our updates from the first events of our statewide tour: open.substack.com/pub/zachwahl...

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater. This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning. Never doubt your power to change the system.

It is way past time to impeach Sec. Hegseth. He has waged an illegal war in the Middle East, violated international law, illegally invaded Venezuela, and endangered our service members. It’s time for him to go! And we grateful to Rep. Ansari for leading the way! No one is above the law.

88 of the largest corporations in this country paid ZERO in federal income taxes—while making $105 BILLION in profits. The rich keep getting richer, while working families get screwed. It is way past time for the ultra-wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share. #TaxDay

Donald Trump cut health care for Americans so that Meta could get a $3 billion tax cut. I asked the IRS commissioner if that was a "really good outcome for the American public." He said yes.

www.nbcnews.com/business/con... Jury finds Live Nation and its subsidiary, Ticketmaster, illegally maintained monopoly power in the ticketing market. Lawsuit alleged the company engaged in “anticompetitive conduct,” resulting in fans paying higher fees, artists having fewer options for touring…

What do these companies have in common? -Block -Citigroup -Coinbase -CVS -Dominion Energy -Disney -Halliburton -Hasbro -HP -Kohl's -Live Nation -Palantir -Paypal -PG&E -Southwest Airlines -Tesla -United Airlines They all paid a lower effective income tax rate than you: zero.

Democratic Rep. Brendan Boyle: “It eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans, according to the CBO. You’re going to sit here with a straight face and say they’re all illegals, they’re all defrauding the system?” White House Budget Director Russell Vought: “Yes.”

Last week I travelled to an ICE Facility outside of Seattle to share stories with on-the-ground Activists and Organizers about how to operate safely in these zones of 'High Risk' conflict I share some insight from that and the additional security measures I took here: youtu.be/mkMwTKrtfVQ

WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public' IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

The U.S. Election Assistance Commission is supposed to help Americans participate in the voting process – not interfere with it. If the Trump-Vance admin has nothing to hide, they’d have no problem fulfilling our records requests. We will see them in court.

When children and families succeed, Minnesota succeeds. Ahead of today’s tax deadline, families are receiving an average benefit of $2,500 from our nation-leading Child Tax Credit.

The Trump Administration is starting to admit that shadowy private credit might be in trouble. But they’re still trying to shove it into YOUR 401(k). Every day Trump and his cronies find another way to tell working people they couldn’t care less about them.

🚨BREAKING: Louisiana sued a key federal election agency for barring the southeastern state from implementing a restrictive law requiring residents to prove their citizenship to register to vote. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

REP. BALINT: “Peace through war? Is that where we are now?” @balint.house.gov points out to Trump’s budget guy Russ Vought we continue to spend money on foreign wars, yet people can’t afford health care.

It is an honor to serve as a Member of Congress. That responsibility and the power it carries must never be taken lightly or abused. The allegations that continue to surface about Reps. Swalwell and Gonzales are gut-wrenching. (🧵1/4)

🧵Nearly a year ago, I got on a plane to El Salvador to demand due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

The war in Iran has made everything — even Stephen Miller’s war on immigrants — feel like a Strait of Hormuz situation. Let me explain. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/steven-millers-strait-of-hormuz

For Netanyahu, the war in Gaza was not enough. Iran was not enough. He is now waging a full-blown war of expansion in Lebanon. The time is long overdue for Congress to listen to the American people and end U.S. military aid to the extremist Israeli government.

I hope dem presidential candidates are paying attention. 👀

“I can’t believe the bullets I manufacture were used to hurt people!” variety.com/2026/tv/news...

As Hungary’s elections reminded us this week, the voice of the people has power. That’s why we are suing to demand transparency in potential election interference – and why we will continue to fight for the American people to use their voice at the ballot box.

The @tndems.bsky.social highlight 3 vulnerable Republicans who just voted to steer $300,000,000 to private school vouchers for kids already in private schools while our public schools remain wildly underfunded: Gillespie (Memphis) Lankford (Clarksville) Davis (Knoxville)

You’re probably going to hear a lot about what the rich really pay in taxes today. This chart tells the real story.

Terrible damage to children is being done in our name. www.themarshallproject.org/2026/04/06/i...

There has been no indication that Pam Bondi is actually going to comply with our subpoena, which legally requires her to testify before the Committee. In that case, we have no other choice but to move forward with contempt charges.

But keep telling us @govbilllee’s private school vouchers aren’t coupons for the wealthy. @WilliamLamberth

Right now, the federal government can buy Americans’ most sensitive data—including healthcare information—without a warrant. Congress must reject a clean reauthorization of FISA Section 702 and close the data broker loophole. I will be voting no.

Your Tax Day reminder that trickle-down economics is a cruel hoax designed to enrich the wealthy and corporations while draining money for the middle class and the poor. Don't let billionaires fool you into thinking we shouldn't tax the rich.
