“.. I work in Toys and we had about 600 price changes in the last couple days... EVERYTHING went up," one user posted last week. “It's f***ing crazy." @the-independent.com $WMT $TGT www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Hakeem Jeffries on unmasking ICE agents. For once, I actually agree with the minority leader.

Watching Russ Vought lying on cspan

Jeffrey Epstein invested $40M in two funds co-founded by Peter Thiel in 2015–2016. The funds, managed by Valar Ventures, have since grown Epstein’s stake to nearly $170M, The New York Times reveals. Thiel is a close ally of J.D. Vance.

This post is unhinged. It’s time to talk about a wellness check and the 25th Amendment. If the former president posted this about Trump, the right would show up to the White House with pitchforks demanding it.

"California Republican Reps. David Valadao and Young Kim's districts are among the highest Medicaid enrollment rates in the state. In an April 14 letter, both said they were against the bill if it included Medicaid cuts — but then they voted for the bill anyway..." www.sfgate.com/politics/art...

Today, I was denied access to seeing my constituent, Mr. Kilmar Abrego Garcia. If there is nothing to hide, cut the crap. Let his lawyer and I check on him.

The Supreme Court is contending with many of Trump’s policies using the “emergency docket,” which fast tracks cases to SCOTUS. @profmmurray.bsky.social says the process lacks transparency, and @dahlialithwick.bsky.social says it’s the “the worst possible way” to show legitimacy. #Velshi

This Imbecile thinks that there is such a thing as “Stage 5 Cancer”. The Apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

They really are vile people.

I was a history teacher and I know we have to be documenting this moment. When we look back, I don’t want us to say we didn’t know what was happening. Stephen Miller, probably the most joyless man in America, wants to take away one of our most foundational rights, habeas corpus.

Chicago is on to something.

Democracy Docket is currently tracking more than 200 cases that will decide the fate of our democracy. www.democracydocket.com/cases/case-s...

Sullivan: "When you see the car start careening toward the cliff, you've gotta say something. What I've seen in less than 100 days is terrible damage to America's credibility and trust with our allies & terrible damage to America's appeal... most of all what I've seen is China reaping the benefits."

Booker: This is a moral moment

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Not "even a hint [from SCOTUS] that any of the government’s (profoundly disturbing) behavior in this case warrants any reproach ... willing to let the government win on procedural technicalities in contexts in which the real-world costs are increasingly severe" www.stevevladeck.com/p/140-the-di...

Do clients really want to hire a law firm known for how quickly it rolls over? Yet, now this is Paul Weiss's well deserved reputation.

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.
