‼️ Last night, Analilia Mejia won election to the U.S. House. Once seated, she will provide the 218th vote on a Russia sanctions package. The sanctions package will need to head to the Senate. clerk.house.gov/DischargePet...

How do we fight back? Break up monopolies and rebuild union power. 👇

Trump has extended a sanction waiver for Russia’s oil until mid-May. Everything to accommodate terrorist Russia 👇

After intense lobbying, Trump signed executive orders to fast-track data center construction and weaken state-level AI regulations. AI firms are also pumping huge sums into our elections. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/04/number-go-up/

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.”

Remarkable chart from this great @ember-energy.org piece. The '70s oil shocks permanently broke the fossil-fuels/GDP relationship. The 2020s shocks will trigger an even more dramatic paradigm shift against polluting fuel and toward clean energy www.electrotech-revolution.com/p/the-new-tw...

As Ukrainians celebrate Easter today, please spare a moment to reflect on how, in part of its genocide of Ukrainians, in the last 4 years, Russia has damaged or destroyed close to 1,000 places of worship all across Ukraine.

What Vance says is a blunt confirmation of what we already knew: this U.S. administration is fully aligned with the russian enemy. Crimes against humanity and genocide mean nothing to him. Murder and deportation of children leave him cold. This is morally despicable and strategically inept.

Naturally Palantir is a sponsor.

“A collapse of this critical current in the Atlantic Ocean would shift the tropical rainfall belt on which many millions of people rely to grow their food, plunge western Europe into extreme cold winters and summer droughts, and add 50-100cm to already rising sea levels around the Atlantic.” link 👇

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Cutting food assistance for children is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. It does not have to be like this.

⚡️ Ukraine and Germany sign first defense data exchange agreement. Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov and German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius signed a pioneering defense data exchange agreement in Berlin, a landmark deal aimed at deepening long-term defense-industrial cooperation.

House Democrats unveiled articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday, making serious allegations about his handling of the war in Iran and his leadership more broadly.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) urged the Trump administration to “wrap up” its investigation of Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, arguing that it’s in “everybody’s best interest” to end the Justice Department’s controversial criminal probe.

#BREAKING: Senate Republicans on Wednesday blocked a resolution to limit President Trump’s war authority in Iran for the fourth time as the conflict inches closer to the 60-day limit laid out in the War Powers Act.

Tax 👏 the 👏 rich 👏 Make 👏 life 👏 affordable 👏

HUNGARIANS DID WHAT AMERICANS SHOULD’VE DONE IN 2016/2024 - 80% of them VOTED! And thus defeated corrupt Putin/Trump ally Orban by a LANDSLIDE. Had the election been remotely close, Orban would’ve used Trump’s fascist/NAZI tactic of claiming elections fraud, rigged. There’s a lesson in that for USA!

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

“The outcome of the parliamentary elections in Hungary is a setback for the White House and a humiliation for its best friend in Europe. But the sharpest message from Budapest should be for the Democrats, strange as that may sound.” - Politico link 👇

“U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on April 14 that he is proud of Washington cutting off funding to Ukraine amid Russian aggression, listing it among the Trump administration's top achievements.” - Kyiv Independent link 👇

WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public' IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

This week, autocrat Viktor Orbán conceded defeat in Hungary’s general election. It was a landslide victory for Péter Magyar — and for democracy worldwide. 👇

We know what keeps us safe in #montrosecolorado & in #ridgwaycolorado , it’s living in welcoming communities where we join together to demand that ALL of our neighbors- native &🗽 newcomers alike - have our families protected. #noking #iceout #indivisible

Tomorrow is Tax Day — as you go to file, remember that Donald Trump cut taxes for the wealthiest among us and made the rest of us foot the bill. The middle class deserves a tax cut, but Trump would rather slash your healthcare and food assistance just to help his billionaire friends cash in.

The most corrupting influence in our politics is money.

Trump is still punishing Colorado. Vote Blue.

“Russian oil revenues nearly doubled in March, the International Energy Agency said in a report on Tuesday, as higher oil prices driven by the war in Iran provided a lifeline for the Kremlin while its budget ran record deficits.” -- Ivan Nechepurenko New York Times 👇

thehill.com/homenews/hou... Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) on Tuesday said Russia is the “real winner” of the U.S. blockade in the Strait of Hormuz, where a holdup of oil exports has contributed to increased prices across the globe.

President Trump went to war against Iran with no clear strategy, no clear objectives and no clear endgame. This recklessness is fueling a global energy crisis, spiking inflation and slowing economic growth—and the longer it continues the worse it will get for the American public.

Important stuff here from @davidkurtz.bsky.social. Trump isn’t a normal president getting upended by business cycles and trends outside his control. All the challenges/crises facing the US economy today are unequivocally the results of Trumps actions talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Our VP of Government Affairs Holli Woodings and John Driscoll are kicking off HOW WE WIN: Tax the Rich and Save the World. We’re bringing together leaders across politics and policy to chart a path forward: defeat the oligarchs and build an economy that works for everyone.

Erica Payne, founder of @patrioticmillionaires.org: "Doing it around the edges is what got us this freak show in the WH sending out memes about him being Jesus & getting in a fight with the Pope in a country that prides itself on the separation of church and state. For heaven's sake! Enough already"

I just introduced a War Powers Resolution to rein in Trump’s illegal war with Iran. Democrats are sending a clear message: we’re going to keep voting on these resolutions until they pass. Republicans need to fulfill their oath to the Constitution and vote YES.

“The strongman Trump spent years praising and imitating [Hungary’s Prime Minister Orban] just got crushed by voters who are sick of corruption and economic pain—despite huge amounts of election chicanery on Team Orban’s part! “ WE CAN DO THIS HERE, TOO! - Jess Craven
