Republican Speaker Mike Johnson posts this after the House (and the Senate) adjourned for a long weekend so Republicans can go hang out at Mar-a-Lago Republicans can’t govern, and Mike Johnson clearly doesn’t care about working for the American people…and rarely wants to work at all Spare me, bro.

EU approves a $106 billion loan package to help Ukraine after Hungary lifts its veto The European Union on Thursday approved a $106-billion loan package to help Ukraine meet its economic and military needs for two years, ending months of political deadlock. ...

Not all men, but definitely this one. The epidemic of violence against women needs to be addressed. Online rape academies. “Musicians” writing songs about raping and killing children. Men drugging their wives. Teens stomping a girls skull. The men are not alright.

JUST IN: The DC Circuit has rejected President Trump's effort to broadly block asylum applications (and other forms of relief) for potentially millions of people who say they're fleeing torture/persecution in their home countries. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/28...

This 5 year old girl lost her father in the Key Bridge collapse & now ICE is deporting her mother. Trump’s ICE operation is going after the weakest, not the worst. This is the kind of inhumanity we must end.

Guess What’s Coming to Dinner Happy Friday. There are 193 days until the midterm elections. Gas prices ain’t coming down, the Army’s gambler and the idiot president has his next project.

This is Draco. He was found as a stray with a rectal prolapse. The shelter performed surgery to fix it, without which he would not have survived. He is now at an emergency hospital where he still needs supportive care, including fluids and a feeding tube. You can help him below ❤️‍🩹 1510.fan/draco-bsd

Remember that Donald Trump, Jr. has financial ties to both Polymarket & Kalshi — and the Trumps’ social media company is launching its own prediction market. Meanwhile, Trump’s regulators have announced they will fight any state that attempts to regulate prediction markets. Follow the money.

“What we are asking people to do is to participate in the ways that are meaningful and viable for them.” We’re a week away from the nationwide day of economic disruption on May Day, and @leahgreenberg.bsky.social explains why there are many ways to participate: survey.alchemer.com/s3/8705046/i...

Everywhere you look, Trump, his family members, his donors, his political supporters & his cronies are looting the US treasury, getting paid by foreign entities for policy favors, & getting no bid contracts. Criminal cases are dropped and convictions pardoned. The US govt is an ongoing crime scene.

Dems don't need to hide behind polling to push for #SCOTUS expansion when they get back in power. Good reflections from @brianbeutler.bsky.social on how many here on bluesky and elsewhere have already done the leg work. Dems just need to move on it.

Trump's Justice Department has identified 384 foreign-born Americans whose citizenship it wants to revoke, part of a push to increase denaturalizations by assigning cases to prosecutors in dozens of US attorney’s offices. @londonoe.bsky.social @haleaziz.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/04/23/u...

WHOA. In less than 12 hours, tens of thousands of Americans have helped launch GTFOice.org. People don’t want warehouse prison camps in their communities. Amazing to see the outpouring of defiance.

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

Eric Trump went on FOX to brag about winning ANOTHER multimillion-dollar contract from the Trump administration. I've been sounding the alarm and pushing for answers. Is the Pentagon just a cash machine for Trump’s kids now? This looks like corruption in plain sight.

Eric Trump -- the president's son -- is on Maria Bartiromo's show bragging about one of his companies landing a $24 million Pentagon contract

“This was not a disease that was killing healthy people. It was killing sick people”. RFK Jr. lying about the COVID19 pandemic.

So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.

For decades, rich and powerful interests and their right-wing political allies have been executing a secret plot to buy our political system — and it may get a whole lot worse. @davidsirota.com reveals the full story of how we got here, and what we can do to get out of it. youtu.be/AeO41h4fHb4?...

Sweet Jesus. The taxpayers just gifted $1.25M to this asshole. KBJ was right when she said the Oval Office would become the seat of criminality in America if Roberts granted Trump immunity.

The victory in Virginia tonight reminds us that the people will defend democracy. Virginians who care about fairness didn’t just win an election – they have stopped Trump’s attempt to steal the 2026 midterms. A message to the White House: We will fight everywhere. And win.

Scaramucci recently said that Trump believes he's the last Republican. When I see news like this, I think Scaramucci may be right. Six months of elevated gas prices = GOP destruction. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

RFK Jr: "President Trump has a different way of calculating percentages. If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to $10, that's a 600% reduction."

What do Levi’s, Hanes, and Chewy have in common? California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.

Wow! Bonta, Californias AG is not having it! Get them AG Bonta!!!

Here's the definitive answer to the debate over "who started it": Republicans. Before Trump pushed TX to gerrymander last year, the GOP had drawn 42% of all districts, versus just 14% for Dems (the rest were by neutral parties). The maps below from @stephenwolf.bsky.social make this explicit.

The California Assembly has killed the CalCare single-payer healthcare plan (AB 1900), despite CA Dems’s veto-proof supermajority in both houses & the majority of CA voters supporting it. My fellow Californians, consider each rep & gov candidate’s CalCare stance when you cast your vote!

For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust. We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.

The Times updated the article a couple hours ago. It still doesn't mention Trump's business ties with the UAE. 🎁 🔗 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/b...

Seems like NYT should have mentioned that UAE's spymaster bought 49% of Trump's World Liberty Financial and used $2B of its USD1 stablecoin, directing hundreds of millions to Trump. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/b...

The UK will seek to speed up efforts to cut the costs of green electricity by reducing exposure to more-expensive gas.

The longer the war drags on, and the more it hurts Americans economically, the more discourse we are seeing in which Donald Trump's mental fitness is being unfavorably compared to Joe Biden's. My latest in the Editorial Board. www.editorialboard.com/the-longer-t...

House Judiciary Dems will soon launch an investigation on this. Stay tuned.

On January 6th, 2021, when Trump incited an insurrection, America's corporate leaders rushed to distance themselves from him. Today, as Trump destroys our democracy at home and stages more coups abroad, they're sucking up to him to pad their own bottom lines.

The Guaurdian: The $2bn (£1.5bn) a week that Donald Trump (and congressional Republicans) was spending on his reckless war in Iran could have funded saving more than 87 million lives, the head of the UN’s humanitarian agency, Tom Fletcher, said on Monday.
