Al Gore: “This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”

NOTED: FBI Director Kash Patel's libel lawsuit against the Atlantic was assigned to Judge Emmet Sullivan, a Clinton appointee in DC. Sullivan won few fans in the MAGA camp with his handling of the case against former DNI Michael Flynn. Earlier: www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Oliver Darcy is reporting that Paramount will host Brendon Carr. If the legacy media had any self-respect they would cancel or boycott this dinner. But they don't. That is why you need to support independent media.

Democracy Docket is not sponsoring a party to celebrate Donald Trump. It won't send people to a dinner in his honor. If you are looking for both sides coverage, look elsewhere. If you want pro-democracy news, information and analysis that is fiercely independent, subscribe now. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Do not stop talking about the Epstein files!

This is an understatement

The Iran war is damaging America's influence around the world and exacerbating tensions with countries already whipsawed by Trump's second term — an erosion of power that could be tough to reverse as U.S. adversaries such as China take advantage.

Unserious conspiracy theories and wellness influencers aren't going to stop Black women from dying during pregnancy. We need serious policies and real solutions.

Drunks Sycophants Incompetents Miscreants Thieves No, this is no way to run a country.

This mic drop happened in the Iran negotiations.

Just WOW!! There are articles that state the same info. www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

The person negotiating in the Middle East on behalf of the United States does not technically work for the United States.

Holy shit, it wasn’t your imagination. Look at this poll. New Gudelunas Strategies numbers show Xavier Becerra surging, the same momentum we’ve been seeing online. Not a top-tier poll, but still, the direction is clear: Becerra is rising fast after Swalwell dropped out. Keep the polls coming!

When I am Governor — if you start chasing people, including U.S. citizens, we get to come after you. Cross that line in California and we will investigate you. We will arrest you. And we will prosecute you.

Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power: “If the Democrats get additional seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”

Please do it Virginia!!

Trump ran on three promises: lower prices, no wars, and less debt. The receipts are in: gas is up 40%, we’re at war with Iran, and debt hit $39 trillion. He promised a turnaround but delivered a wreck. You got played.

CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks

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)

Some progressives & Democrats need to stop justifying refusing to vote or 3rd party voting by saying Biden "didn't do anything." He did a whole damn lot. Facts matter. And so does a young liberal SCOTUS justice who will protect civil rights for decades. www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/fa...

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X. I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!). So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

BREAKING: Donald Trump just boosted Democrats’ chances of taking the House. He said the quiet part out loud, “fair elections” means he loses power. That’s not a warning, that’s a confession.

I asked the White House -- twice -- if Miller and Homan will be testifying in this hearing, and only got this response:

Stephen Miller + Tom Homan are listed as "invited witnesses" at a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on Tues about ICE/CBP. So are people who were shot and tear-gassed by ICE/CBP. If Miller/Homan actually show up, this will be... wow. (Dem says "no confirmation yet" on their attendance).

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally. It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/palantir-w...

Jeffries: "Republicans have spent tens of million trying to convince the people of Virginia that President Obama and Gov. Spanberger are urging a 'no' vote. That's a stone cold lie. The 'no' vote position is Donald Trump's position, as is being evidenced tonight. He's been trying to hide it."

It’s time to FIRE Kash Patel next.

FPF joined >250 journalists in a Monday letter urging the organizers of the White House Correspondents' Association dinner to forcefully oppose Trump’s attacks on press freedom. The press shouldn’t stand up to applaud the man who attacks them daily. Read the full letter: messageforwhca.tiiny.site

So the administration invented a fake legal threat to justify raiding an account Congress controls. That matters because the Constitution says Congress, not the President, decides how taxpayer money gets spent.

Here is how it works. The government has something called the Judgment Fund. Think of it as an emergency savings account for when the government loses a lawsuit or settles a real legal fight. It is not a checkbook the President can use whenever he feels like rewarding a company.

This should be a much bigger story. The Trump administration is about to hand TotalEnergies, a French oil company, nearly $1 billion of your money to cancel its American offshore wind projects. And they are pulling the cash from an account they are not allowed to use this way.🧵
