How many more "Weekend at Bernie's " press conferences do we have to endure?

Lead by David Stevens. “It is not surprising that Trump and his administration of sycophants didn't learn anything from the fiascos of war Iraq and Afghanistan. Wars can't be controlled and have unintended consequences. But the closing of Hormuz (cont) www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

It's not hyperbole in the least to say Musk purchased a six-month shadow presidency for $280 million and used the power of that shadow presidency to 1. Steal the government’s data, 2. Permanently damage the state’s ability to regulate his businesses, and 3, kill non-white people.

Ghislane Maxwell lured countless children into Jeffrey Epstein’s global pedophile ring. Now, some Republicans are openly floating giving her a pardon. It’s outrageous. We need to end the special treatment for the Epstein class.

Tim Walz on DHS officers who shot Minnesotans: "We're gonna bring them back and hold them accountable for what they did"

BREAKING: DOJ watchdog to review department's compliance with law mandating the release of the Epstein files. MS NOW Senior Legal Report Lisa Rubin explains.

Democratic House Rep. Joe Morelle to Howard Lutnick: "$34 billion drop in factory construction investments in the last year. 89,000 manufacturing jobs lost." I'm so tired of Donald Trump's definition of "winning."

MADELEINE DEAN: Why did you lie to the New York Post about your relationship with Epstein? LUTNICK: The House Oversight Committee and I agreed-- DEAN: Reclaiming my time. I do not accept that answer. We are our own committee. You're dodging the question. The coverup continues.

Democrats have spent months pushing basic ICE oversight. These are standard across law enforcement. But House Republicans have refused to agree to any of this. The public deserves to know why ICE should be the exception.

The Virginia redistricting referendum that passed on Tuesday and could give Democrats a leg up came on the heels of a "vote yes" campaign that relied on anti-Trump ads, a report by the New Republic highlights.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social There will need to be a new excess profits tax, especially on companies that replace workers with AI.

oh, and hey, Heather Cox Richardson mentioned me. I am (briefly) famous! heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-21-2...

What are MAGA Republicans doing about the loss of jobs to AI? So far, they refuse to regulate it.

I was shocked to learn in Tennessee that Nashville's single Democratic Congressman was gerrymandered out of a seat, leaving the city divided into several half-urban, half-rural constituencies and with no real representation at all. That was years ago, and I didn't hear any Republicans object.

“Russia can sustain extremely high levels of casualties and losses in human lives. They don’t care about people’s lives,” a Ukrainian officer told me. However, “it is painful for them to lose money.”

Trump is rehearsing the same delegitimization script that led to January 6, but he’s not targeting this race specifically. The target is public trust in elections.

Breaking news: The Trump administration’s fundraising arrangement for the White House ballroom project shields donor identities and excludes the White House from conflict of interest requirements, according to records obtained by The Post.

Tomorrow's vote in Virginia is not gerrymandering by Dems. It's a response to gerrymandering by the GOP. It's reasonable and it's necessary. F*ck Trump and F*ck Texas.

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them. New piece ↓ open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

And president Trump doesn't care about the little guy. He just cares about billionaires, about corporate interests." Spot. On.

The idea that we sent our service members into war on the word of a commander in chief who can’t even be trusted to be involved in the rescue operation of a service member that goes missing as a result of that decision is making me lose my mind. How is this even real?!

#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.

The evidence of insider trading by Trump protégés is obvious and jaw dropping, as is the total indifference of Trump's DOJ and SEC towards these crimes... which appear to be sanctioned by the Trump White House. www.bbc.com/news/article...
