Massachusetts just overwhelmingly passed a bill banning ICE from making warrantless arrests at schools, hospitals, and daycares. Local police are now barred from helping federal agents. Like this if you want your state to do the same! www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/the-resist...

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

The media are already praising Trump for staying on script and acting normal at the China summit state dinner. The media still grading Trump on a curve.

The Purcell principle was always a legal fiction applied selectively. But we are now beyond mere inconsistency. The Court has used the Purcell principle to erode any trust that there is any principle at all. My latest: www.democracydocket.com/opinion/purc...

VAN HOLLEN: In your response to me earlier, where you had a blowup, you made a couple provably false statements PATEL: So did you VAN HOLLEN: Do you know it's a crime to lie to Congress? P: Maybe the next time you run up a $7,000 bar tab we can talk V: See. You're lying again. You're a disgrace

Trump on Iran War: Reporter: What extent are Americans’ financial situation motivating you to make a deal? Trump: Not even a little bit. I don't think about Americans’ financial situation

Rude for Iran to be firing missiles after 37 truth social posts about how they’ve been defeated. It’s like they didn’t even read them.

If Kash Patel spent 9-11 months investigating a seashells post from James Comey, then I don’t feel confident that he’ll find Nancy Guthrie.

My own view is that the central problem with today’s #SCOTUS is the extent to which it isn’t—and doesn’t think it should be—accountable to other government institutions, especially Congress. Today’s “One First” walks through eight of the levers Congress *used* to pull to keep the justices in line:

In UNO that means you are losing.

As my colleague David Rosnick puts it: the Roberts Court is just calling the balls and strikes. The problem is that they do it before the pitch is thrown.

“Biden kept ticket prices down; they’re going up 10% under Trump” is a hell of a talking point for [checks notes] the Trump administration.

Multibillionaires and democracy are fundamentally incompatible. A system based on equal voices cannot survive when a handful of individuals have enough wealth to buy the megaphone, the politicians, and the rules

how in hell is federal policy being made courtesy of the dumbest, most corrupt goddamned state in the union (and they have competition, to be sure)...

Who else is tired of Donald Trump’s billionaire lackeys minimizing the price of gas? 🙋‍♀️

"Trump is a bad person" didn't work in the last election. People already know that, but many pretend he will help them anyway. TRY: "You hoped Trump would help you. But Donald only helps himself. He's pocketed billions while making you poorer, thanks to his high inflation, tariffs, & gas prices."

A future Dem president must steal a page from DOGE's book and imemediately seize physical control over the Treasury payments system and GSA (controls keys to the doors of federal facilities) because there's going to be Disagreements about whether Dems are allowed to run things even after they win

Unlike previous presidents, who at least attempted to convey big ideas, Donald Trump is the master of the petty. He lives in the short form: the post, the insult, the grievance, the nicknames, the momentary domination play. His political

$4.50 a gallon? I wish. This was yesterday in LA. Thanks, Tr🤡mp. 😠

You talk the small pain at the pumps is acceptable for this ILLEGAL war of choice is ok. Fir who. People are barely making it now & it’s not just gas it food & everything else. No worries for millionaire s like you.

This👇🏽 deserves to be posted 100 times but I’d be labeled spam.

Whitehouse filets Zeldin: "You even set up a special polluter email address that give polluters a drive-up window for exemptions from the Clean Air Act"

Any candidate worth their salt who's running for the Democratic nomination in 2028 will campaign aggressively on expanding the Supreme Court.

📌What happened Saturday night was a crime on our sensibilities by an out-of-control madman in our WH who is being encouraged and given a platform to be just as revolting as he wants to be, by a snobby, incompetent national press, which completely lost the thread a decade ago. ENOUGH OF ALL OF THEM.

The DOJ violates the Epstein Files Transparency Act on the daily. So I'm suing Todd Blanche. As a journalist, I cannot report accurately on the Epstein Files if I cannot even read them. I am represented by @brendanballou.bsky.social & we seek to hold the DOJ accountable for its noncompliance.

How does Trump spend his time? Construction, Con, Corruption, and Clubs. emptywheel.net/2026/04/20/t...

Most Americans know what it would take to fix our broken country - Abolish Citizens United - Outlaw foreign influence - End the electoral college - Tax the oligarchs - Reestablish rule of law - Strict separation of church & state It’s whether we have the courage to change our self-destructive ways

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

The Strait of Hormuz was open before Trump started this war. So this is not a win.

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Trump: “my work here is done!” On to the next dumb fuck’s “excursion”

The state of MAGAts today…

James Talarico (D-TX) explains how #TrumpRiggedYourTaxReturn with his Big, Ugly Bill. The top 1% get $177 billion in tax cuts while the bottom 95% pay more. On top of paying more in taxes households are paying about $1700/year because of tariffs and now fuel is at $4 a gallon. Shameful!!

Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS? I have a bill to get that done.

🎧LEVER TIME: The secret 40-year plot to bury you in tax paperwork & force you to pay accountants - rather than letting the IRS send you your completed tax returns like other countries do. This story is enraging - it's a GOP plot to enrich tax prep companies & make you hate taxes.

..."there is something about JD that is especially odious. It could be that he condescends to everyone. It could be that he has made a career of transparent insincerity. It could be that he is a protege of evil oligarch Peter Thiel. It could be his beard. It

Oh goody! John Bolton is coming on Morning Joe to tell us how well the war is going.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

Well, well… If the 14th amendment was not meant for modern immigrants, then the 2nd amendment was not meant for modern arms. #truth

Joe Scarborough can’t decide where he stands on anything. He’s so glad Trump went on television last night and said…what?

Joe frantically trying to protect Trump’s insane speech as reasonable is offensive. Clearly, Joe is trying to impress his conservative friends and allies that he remains a true conservative. It is pathetic.

Morning joe starting off the morning with tacit approval of the war against Iran was enough to make me vomit. Loyal opposition at this stage of fascism is unacceptable and needs to be vigorously opposed.

I almost turned it off at 6:10 this morning. Joe has to stfu.

'ScaredBro' Scarborough says he was happy that his self-admitted longtime personal friend Trump was given the airwaves to repeat nonsense he has speaking for months. Joe and Mika also praised Trump on his Dec. 17, 2025 national address, the where he proclaimed peace in the Middle-East.

I didn't watch Trump's address to the nation last night but why is Scarborough trying to avoid letting Meka talk about it this morning

So Trump blamed Iran for the high gas prices. IMO Trump's 20 minute speech was a "I didn't do it, so blame it on Iran" speech. A typical move from a raging narcissist.

It's all part of Scarborough's (let's bend the knee and kiss the dear leader's ring strategy)
