AP-NORC poll: Only 33% of U.S. adults approve of Trump's overall job performance 30% approve of his handling of the economy 32% approve of Trump's leadership on Iran

What Trump is doing to the world economy….

Yup.

A win! A judge just blocked the Trump admin from strangling hundreds of wind and solar projects nationwide. Chief Judge Denise Casper issued a preliminary injunction, striking down a policy that required every wind and solar project to get personal sign-off from Interior Secretary Doug Burgum.

NEW: Two local men promised to build housing with a 3D printer. That didn’t pan out. When reporter Molly Parker started to investigate what went wrong, she found the printer disassembled on a flatbed truck at a country repair shop. Then things got weird. With @capitolnewsil.bsky.social

I hope blue states sue and subpoena the CDC for this report. Their constituents deserve to have what is literally life saving information being held back by Trump's barbaric extremists.

ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her. (Published Nov. 2025)

Experts say it’s highly unusual for the White House to tell agents to give up custody of potential evidence in an investigation, as it did with the Tates. “I’ve never heard of anything like that in my 30 years working,” an ex-DHS official said. (Published Nov. 2025)

My God, does someone suspect that Donald J. Trump might be dishonest?

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself. Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Walmart has long been a facilitator of fraud on a mass scale, a ProPublica investigation found. More than $1 billion in fraud losses were routed through the company’s financial services between 2013 and 2022. (Published Jan. 2024)

Devastating numbers for Trump.

The Trump administration is kicking 150,000 Illinoisans off of SNAP on May 1. He's ripping away help from Illinoisans as the cost of their groceries, gas, and utilities continues to rise. Make sure to check your status at abe.illinois.gov.

Wow. Vivek has blown through $20M—including millions on TV—with nothing to show for it as Ohioans continue to reject his scams. Now in full panic mode he’s about to burn through a lot more. We won’t be bought.

I’m shocked. www.texastribune.org/2026/04/21/t...

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.

Let's be clear: The Trump Admin's vendetta against the SPLC is a sign of how impactful their work is. The SPLC has been at the forefront of exposing some of America's most notorious hate groups, like the KKK. The fact that the Trump Admin feels threatened by that speaks volumes.

Last year, the flu vaccine saved 12,000 lives and prevented over 100,000 hospitalizations according to the CDC.

Today, VA Dems are showing the party how to fight back. VA voter: Trump has explicitly stated to state legislators, 'find me more seats.' As Democrats, we can't come to a boxing match where the other person brings a knife.

BALDWIN: Do you think NIH should fund less cancer research? RFK Jr: No, they should fund more, & one of the few agencies that got a raise in the budget was NCI B: That increase is less than $1m for an institute with a $7b budget. That's a .01% increase. It wouldn't even cover one additional grant

Trump claimed "Operation Metro Surge" targeted the "worst of the worst." In reality, ICE ripped 70 kids away from their families, friends, and schools. Our children deserve justice and accountability. That starts with abolishing ICE. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

“Minutes after voting for $300 MILLION for private school vouchers, Senate Republicans voted to cut $43 MILLION for diapers for needy families.”😳 Welcome to @GovBillLee & the @TNGOP supermajority’s Tennessee, folks. A budget is a moral document.

Impeachment, not the 25th. He is unfit for office, but his problems now are because he has surrounded himself with enablers and thinks he has no restrictions or consequences.

“Do you realize how ridiculous this is? Taxpayers will pay companies $166 BILLION in refunds because the orange man in the White House taxed them unconstitutionally. They don’t even have to drop their prices… Yet Trump says there's no💰for Medicaid/childcare.” (H/T @evanjmez.bsky.social )

HIRONO: Does anybody have the kind of expertise that Secretary Moniz had when he participated in the JCPOA? CHRIS WRIGHT: Absolutely. Absolutely HIRONO: Who? WRIGHT: Our whole team HIRONO: Can you see I have some major skepticism?

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.

TurningPoint USA doesn’t succeed because they get a lot of likes. They win because they have successfully created communities for young people to join. They give people a place to go and then let the politics follow. It’s time the left stops pretending going viral will fix our problems.

"Trump Is Making Republicans Wet Their Beds" The president's war in Iran & mass deportation campaign are having major - & negative - political consequences. Plus, his outgoing labor secretary discovers you can in fact have too many scandals. Today's First Draft morning newsletter:

#ICYMI: We released a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees, including former lobbyists, industry executives and at least a dozen officials who declined to identify former clients.

This is fun

Our veterans don’t want to see Ohioans shipped off to fight another endless war in Iran, and neither do I.

Trump did this 👇🏽

“I’m the consumer. I paid higher prices because of Trump’s tariffs. Do I get a refund?” “No.” Heads they win, tails we lose.

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose. “They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote. (Published Dec. 2024)

ProPublica obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing. (Published 2021)

🔥 “I’m so glad people are finally waking up to your cruelty — and to the idiocy of your star disciple Pete Hegseth.” @wajahatali.bsky.social eviscerates Hegseth’s pastor Doug Wilson (with @timmiller.bsky.social & piers in the front row)

Donald Trump is stuck in “no man’s land” on Iran—he doesn't want to commit to war, but he's also unwilling to make the concessions needed for a deal. So instead, it’s delay after delay—“two weeks, two weeks”—as the crisis grows more dangerous.

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading. It was worth it.

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken. “I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold. The government won’t say if any agents have been punished. (Published Jan. 2026)

"The average IQ in Somalia hovers around 70, and that's the threshold for mentally handicapped ... they're a net drain on the society" -- even by MAGA standards, the unvarnished racism of this interview of Rep. Brandon Gill by Benny Johnson is breathtaking
