The bottom 95% of taxpayers will see tax INCREASES on average this year, driven primarily by expanded tariffs and expiration of health insurance credits. Meanwhile, the richest 1% alone will receive $117 billion in tax CUTS in 2026. Never forget who Trump governs for.

"The rise of extreme wealth is one of the clearest signs of this imbalance. In 1987, billionaires held wealth equal to 3% of global GDP. Today this tiny elite, just 0.0001% of the world population, owns the equivalent of *16%* of world GDP in wealth."

Just to give a sense of the insane scale of billions of dollars…MacKenzie Scott got about $38 billion after divorcing Bezos in 2019. She has become the world’s most generous philanthropist, giving away over $19 billion…and she’s currently wealthier than she started. Just. Tax. Them.

James Talarico (D-TX) explains how #TrumpRiggedYourTaxReturn with his Big, Ugly Bill. The top 1% get $177 billion in tax cuts while the bottom 95% pay more. On top of paying more in taxes households are paying about $1700/year because of tariffs and now fuel is at $4 a gallon. Shameful!!

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

“.. He said they were protected by little more than a thin layer of vertical standing blast barricades .. Asked to describe the degree of fortification, he responded: ‘I mean, I would put it in the none category. From a drone defense capability … none.’” @cbsnews.com www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa...

Truth: "X is no longer where the fight is happening. The platform Musk took over was imperfect but impactful. What exists today is something else: diminished, and increasingly de minimis."

This isn't legal analysis. It's idiocy: "A White House official added that electric plants are legitimate military targets because destroying them could foment civil unrest, complicating Tehran’s path to a nuclear device." That would be an F on a bar exam. And WSJ does a good job exposing it. 1/

Iran has been preparing for this eventuality for a long time. Their bunkers are well-built. That’s one of the reasons we’ve always tried to avoid the military option, and it’s the main reason Hegseth telling Trump how easy this would be was so egregious.

An absolutely wonderful read, not just for quality of their films but also as myself a recently married person an inspiration for all creative couples that art is a marathon, not a sprint!

Marc Elias, the powerful Democratic lawyer who has taken a personal interest in Ms. McIver’s case, has called the prosecution “an absolute travesty” and “a misuse of the law enforcement system to target their political enemies.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/u...

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

BOOM. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social: “Billions of dollars are being wasted right now to drop bombs in the Middle East” but “This same group of extremists won’t spend a dime to make life more affordable for the American people.” Americans are PISSED. And Republicans are to blame.

This kind of explicit gutter racism goes beyond what Buckley would have been willing to publish in his pro-Jim Crow days

Over the past year, several F.B.I. agents fired by the bureau have sued its director, Kash Patel, seeking to get their jobs back and claiming they were victims of political retribution by the Trump administration... 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/u...

“We bring this lawsuit to protect the rule of law and to allow our former colleagues to do their jobs without fear of retaliation.” The suit seeks to represent a class of more than 50 employees of the F.B.I. who have been terminated since Mr. Trump (cont.)

An army of fans bent on broadening the white supremacist Nick Fuentes's audience are using social-media algorithms to amplify his message and to help him gain a following on the left, Amogh Dimri reports:

#NoKings is a day of powerful reminders: ✅ We're all in this together. ✅ We want democracy and justice. ✅ There are more of us than there are of them. Now is the time to keep the pressure on. If everyone who attended a rally today *also* contacted Congress, the impact would be immense.

Authoritarian regimes do not want contradictory sources of knowledge. Only authoritarian leaders know, none else.

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

There were more voters who didn’t vote in ‘24 than there were those who voted for Trump. Remember: You don’t have to waste your time or breath on MAGA cult members. They are lost. Focus on the apathetic. 

No Kings 3 Was The Biggest One Day Protest Against A President In US History #Politicus

I know I’m a broken record on this but: A handful of law profs are engaging in an effort to convince the Supreme Court to accept a reactionary administration’s effort to redefine American citizenship and render countless children stateless.

Russia is mapping U.S. assets to help Iran, Zelenskyy says The Ukrainian leader said satellite images provided to Tehran include photos of the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, which was attacked last week.

In addition to completely destroying our Department of Transportation because he’s spending obscene amounts of money on his Epstein cover up war Trump has also taken healthcare from millions of Americans All so he could drop bombs on hundreds of Iranian schoolgirls #HealthcareNotWarfare

-A living wage -Guaranteed healthcare -The right to join a union -The right to vote -The right to choose when, how, and with whom you start a family -The right for you and your family to live free from gun violence These are the foundations of real freedom.

Donald Trump cannot be trusted to lead America during war. He is unaccountable to the public. He is lawless. He only seeks conflict to cover up for his failures. He cannot offer a coherent justification for what's happening or a plan for what comes next. When we say "No Kings," this is why.

We did this with tariffs. Now we’re doing this with war. And some insiders are making a fortune off the chaos.

NEW: The FBI's probe into Arizona's Maricopa County 2020 election opened a new avenue for Trump to attack free and fair elections. But the president’s claims of voter fraud in the state have never stood up to scrutiny, despite many investigations being conducted by election deniers themselves.

TRUMP is starting to throw all kinds of unrelated bullshit into his SAVE America Act. It's no longer just about voter ID Now, he's planning on including anti-LGBTQ & parental rights bullshit still on the Project 2025 ToDo List

Big is right. They are hiding the truth of this war daily and in a thousand ways.

This is the FBI 302 in which a woman recounts her accusation that Epstein lulled her with the promise of a babysitting job only to drug and rape her. She says he tried to get her to recruit other girls her age. (She was 13 or 14). www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

We don’t know, and may never know, whether this accusation is true. But we absolutely know that Epstein and Trump we’re insulated from the consequences of it being made, and more recently the administration has corrupted the process to prevent it coming out.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

Here's a great talk by @veritasium.bsky.social (at @perimeterinstitute.ca) about how learning really works and why using chatbots to help can backfire youtu.be/0xS68sl2D70

I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.

#Gorsuch concurrence. It's a miracle.

“As Karen got to know the guards at the Northwest ICE Processing Center where she was held, she kept hearing the same thing from them: that ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. “Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,” Karen says.

Tony Gilroy on Andor’s prescience: “It’s the same shit all the time. Get rid of truth, get rid of a free press, destroy communities, nationalize the businesses, find an arbitrary enemy you can elevate and false flag them through propaganda. Flood the zone with as much gak and atrocity as you can.”
