Journalists who attend the White House Correspondents' Dinner to party with Trump, Hegseth, Carr etc. are telling the regime that it's perfectly OK if they sic the FBI on them for doing their jobs.

The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down — ever.

This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

Yet another @RepTimBurchett lie caught 🤥 Pinocchiogles’ lies are worse but Burchett gives him a run for his money — and of the two only Burchett was sued for defamation

Many politicians spend more time worrying about where their next campaign contributions are coming from than actually doing the right things.

The Republican Congress.

Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up. The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning. No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.

Priceless post from the official White House social media

GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony? WARSH: That is, senator. GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.

This year, we're not just going to send Mike Rogers back to Florida. We're going to flip the 4th, the 7th, the 10th, the State House, and expand our State Senate majority. The rest of the country is counting on us. Let’s show ‘em how it’s done.

CEO: AI will do my job peers: give this genius200 billion sales head: AI will do my job peers: where is this man's rightful 100 billion Writer: AI will do my job Peers: The guillotine is ready, come down when you are

Rep. Robert Garcia: "Unfortunately, I have to announce that Democratic members will not participating. This roundtable is not a real hearing. It's set up to appear like one. We should be clear about why that's happening. Last week, Pam Bondi skipped a legally required deposition ... "

The president of the United States has labeled more than half the country traitors. This isn’t just a rant. This is setting up a call for action on his part.

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

At what point will “journalists” who take Donald Trump at his word about Iran start feeling complicit in helping him manipulate the markets?

If you’ve heard and even dreamt about the 3.5% rule, this Hidden Brain with Erica Chenoweth will deepen your appreciation for the scholarship, non-violent civil resistance and Shankar Vedantam, the master of walking you into the entry hall and a few rooms of a huge concept. No concept bigger now.

Thank you for your courage to publicly address abusive language.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

Scott MacFarlane, after leaving CBS, has one of the hottest new indie news Substacks around. He joins us tonight to give us a peek at his new world—and how he manages to cover all the news, all the time. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Peace when markets are open War when markets are closed

ZOHRAN: “TBH, I don’t think too much about how Republicans portray me. The power of an ideology is judged in the worth of its delivery— to be told a city-run grocery store is implausible but $500 MILLION/day to kill ppl in Iran & Lebanon is necessary speaks to a broken politics.”

Back on Feb 18, I interviewed Jocelyn Benson, who told me Dem Secretaries of State were running table-top exercises for these types of scenarios. You can listen here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Black people are "hardworking," "taxpaying," "law abiding" "citizens." And yet, despite all that, we get random people imagining the ways that we will harm them. This, friends, is an illustration of the imagination gap (my term). www.reddit.com/r/BlackPeopl...

The richest 10% of Americans own roughly 87% of stocks. The richest 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi says the Strait of Hormuz is open amid the Lebanon ceasefire, with all commercial vessels allowed to transit via Iran’s coordinated route designated by its Ports & Maritime Organization.

brilliant -- Morning Joe put together clips of Pete Hegseth reciting a fake Bible quote from Pulp Fiction, along with the Samuel L. Jackson scene from the movie

BERNIE SANDERS: Americans do not want us to continue spending billions of taxpayer dollars in support of the illegal, horrific war policies of Netanyahu NEWSMAX: Your reaction? REP. JOHN ROSE: As I listen to Sanders's comments, they border on being antisemitic

Trump is weird rich coastal elite who is at least as out of touch with real people as Mitt Romney was but gets covered like a man of the people because he’s racist and stupid.

Mamdani: Democratic socialism viable anywhere. “...this is a politics that can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country – that’s the working class, and it’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of [public policy]..." www.commondreams.org/news/mamdani...

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.

Some truly amazing news: “Today, Congresswoman @pressley.house.gov, Co-Chair of the House Haiti Caucus, secured a major victory in the House of Representatives, passing critical legislation to extend Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti by a vote of 224-204.” pressley.house.gov/2026/04/16/b...

Gov Sherrill: “We inherited an agreement where FIFA is providing $0 for transportation to the World Cup. And while NJ TRANSIT is stuck with a $48 million bill to safely get fans to and from games, FIFA is making $11 billion.”

We also asked respondents how many dinosaurs they could name off the top of their head — and then promptly asked them to do name 'em. 84% named fewer dinosaurs than they said they could just seconds before. Only 2% named more. (Admittedly, some respondents may have tried harder than others.)

A shocking new poll result: Many Americans somehow don't have a favorite dinosaur. And only 6% give the correct answer (triceratops). Check out YouGov's new polling on Americans and dinosaurs: yougovamerica.substack.com/p/whats-your...

Things are finally changing. Let's keep pushing and push harder. And let's also not miss the fact that it took a horrific genocide and a disastrous war for so many of our neighbors to start dealing with reality.

BLITZER: Dems argue there's a double standard. In 2023, Trump was found liable for sexual abuse STEFANIK: No. If anything the media is not focused on holding Dems to account BROWN: How can you say that? We had the reporting about Swalwell STEFANIK: After he was forced out B: I did the reporting

“Don’t believe your lying eyes”—the Trump administration pushes a reality that doesn’t match what Americans are feeling at the pump or seeing in the courts. Meanwhile, efforts to rewrite January 6th are sparking outrage on Capitol Hill. Scott MacFarlane has it all in his evening report.

Last week, I wrote about how Zohran Mamdani is clearly having FUN as mayor—and treating his public service as the gift it is. There’s an important lesson here: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-j...

Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich 
Well, today we're taxing the rich...

The individuals referenced here are adjudicated terrorists. They were found guilty of conspiring to use force against their own government to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. A conservative, Trump-appointed judge applied terrorism enhancements to their sentences.

Every company's marketing strategy in 2026:

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!!

Tech founders are so innovative that they invented feudalism.

Definitely the *Pope* should stay in his lane.

I don't know if young people these days understand that this kind of grotesque gutter racism was simply not acceptable in public... not that long ago!

Trump to Maria today: “They misquoted me and said I expect oil to be higher… I think it will be down.” Trump to Maria 2 days ago: “Oil might even be a little higher.” Receipts👇🏽 🤥

As wealth concentrates, so does power — the power to influence elections, shape policy, tilt markets and define the terms of public debate. Taxing billionaires is not radical. What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship.

Trump is posting fresh blasphemies this morning

Sanders: They keep talking about going to another planet. These guys are building underground bunkers, etc. But it’s, to say the least, weird—and I think it is very dangerous.
