The House must come back into session immediately to vote to end Trump’s war. The President is unhinged, lawless and bringing global chaos and we must stop him NOW. Our service members, Iranian civilians and our country’s national security depend on it. Read my full statement here:

Over on X, Andrew Solander is compiling a list House and Senate Democrats calling for Trump to be removed from office today. Current total is over 57 (55 in the House, 2 in the Senate), with more coming in each minute.

When Trump took office, the IRS was planning on beginning 6,786 new audits of ultrarich individuals that year. Instead, they actually only began 3,692 that year, around half of their plan. This was a policy decision from Trump. This year, Trump's IRS has set its target even lower, at just 2,264.

NEW: We submitted a comment to the DOJ urging it to withdraw a proposed rule that would effectively allow it to block state bar disciplinary authorities from investigating and disciplining DOJ attorneys for misconduct. Read the full comment here:

“Orban Offered to Be ‘Mouse’ Helping Russian ‘Lion’ in Putin Call” 4/7/26 … 1/

The Chair of the Joint Chiefs “flagged the enormous difficulty of securing the Strait of Hormuz and the risks of Iran blocking it. Mr. Trump had dismissed that possibility on the assumption that the regime would capitulate before it came to that.” A clarifying read about how we got here—gift link:

HEY: If you, or anyone you know, can vote in Wisconsin, this is the day to cast your ballot for Chris Taylor. The consequences of this election will echo for years. www.benwikler.com/p/polls-are-...

This is absolutely insane and 25th amendment grounds in and of itself

JD Vance is presently in Hungary interfering in their election.

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

A huge problem indeed. One more example of how the Trump regime has abandoned its democratic responsibility to inform the public.

The DOGE team was acting like “a bunch of people who didn’t know what they were doing, with ideas of how government should run — thinking it should work like a McDonald’s or a bank — screaming all the time,” former SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek said. (Published Sept. 2025)

“Lay down your weapons now or I will have no choice but to ask you to lay down your weapons later,” the commander in chief wrote on Truth Social

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

INBOX: HuffPost is opting out of attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner.

“As far as I can tell, it’s the practice of ICE to throw everybody’s documents into a black box and then lose it.” Immigrants are being released from detention without documents proving their status.

Americans don’t want Trump’s war with Iran. Now he’s trying to walk away from the disaster he created, after driving up gas prices and leaving the rest of the world to deal with the fallout. This administration creates chaos, and it’s costing your family more every day.

“Trump’s former spiritual advisor released from jail after serving just 6 months for molesting a 12 year-old girl.”

Law firms fighting Trump executive orders get backing from fellow firms reut.rs/4saXhnn

A paper in JAMA Internal Medicine adds to the growing scientific evidence that medication abortion pills would be safe to sell over-the-counter at the pharmacy. But political opposition means that possibility may not happen anytime soon. n.pr/41Bug9T

Uninsured rate for children, by state. Texas accounts for a quarter of all children without health insurance in America.

Infuriating story about a US soldier about to deploy and his awesome-sounding new wife, a college student and Sunday school teacher who has lived here since she was one. She was detained as soon as she arrived on base and may now be deported

The author of How Fascism Works and Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future is clear: He believes the United States is currently under an authoritarian regime led by a fascist leader.

After Trump took office last year, the US Holocaust Museum quietly removed educational material about American racism from its website and canceled a workshop on the "fragility of democracy," @iriesentner.bsky.social reports. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Since last May, the Department of Justice has been trying to acquire the voter rolls of every state and the District of Columbia. @ericcolumbus.bsky.social explains why DOJ wants the lists, why most states are resisting, and the court battles so far.

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.

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

ProPublica launched a database that helps journalists, researchers and others more easily find and connect pieces of financial information about individuals in key executive branch positions. Join us on Wednesday, April 8, for a walk-through of the new tool. RSVP below ⤵️

Failing, at some level knows it, frustrated that his one move isn’t working, but has no other ideas and is feeling increasingly desperate. That’s the right frame for this. Contrast to how Trump sounded after the Venezuela operation that captured Maduro. In desperation, risks of horrors multiply.

We got hit with a community standards violation for posting links asking you to contact businesses about the Forest Service dismantling. But it worked Patagonia listened. Because of the issue on FB, we’re building a dedicated website for that kind of action. We’re hoping to have it live by Monday!

This is the truest truth of all the truths (and there aren't many).

The FY2027 budget requests $1.5 trillion for military spending and pays for it by gutting NOAA, FEMA grants, NIH, and fully eliminating programs that keep the lights on for struggling Americans.

The entire 1983 Stevie Ray Vaughan ACL concert has been uploaded. I've queued it up to start on "Tin pan Alley," but the whole thing is worth watching --- after you "like" this post, of course. 😃 youtu.be/MrbAaQ3BXgA?...

Glad to see a few more beginning to talk about medical trauma. It's extremely real. It's scary. It doesn't easily go away. So, you "deal". 💔

From calling for homeless people to be sent to “internment camps” to fantasizing about making them “fight like gladiators,” right-wing media’s crusade against people without housing continues.

Trump's 2027 budget proposal fully eliminates HHS's Sexual Risk Avoidance Program and Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program.

Trump's 2027 budget proposal cuts EPA funding by 52%. This reduces EPA's budget to the lowest level since the 1980s.

I feel like this is illegal. Congress creates and shutters federal agencies, not the president.

If anyone knows anyone who still thinks Trump works for working people, please show them this clip.

"Encouraged by this blatant corruption, Trump’s most ardent supporters are demanding their own cut. This week, a group of J6 rioters filed a class action demanding recompense. The stage is set for the wholesale looting of the federal coffers by Trump and his MAGA allies." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Stephen Miller is quietly trying to get a red state to end public funding for education for undocumented kids, to get a case before the Supreme Court to overturn Plyler v Doe, which requires that funding on 14A grounds. And very few pro-immigration progressives are even aware this is happening.

ZOHRAN: “It’s a war that should be opposed on every single ground… That money could transform the working class.”

“Telling women to shut up, attempting to banish them from civic life, and insisting on the right of men, by virtue of their “equipment,” to rule as they please is a politics of rape.” www.liberalcurrents.com/abuser-polit...
