Decided to ride 26 miles in the 90+ degree heat of San Antonio. Beautiful — but hot. Damn hot.

🚨 NEWS: The White House confirms the tariff on Chinese imports is now 145%—not 125%. Reminder: tariffs are taxes on imported goods, which means Americans end up paying more.

Plainclothes agents. Trying to question elementary-aged kids. And lying that they had parents permission to do so.

The Supreme Court’s unanimous opinion in the Abrego Garcia case is: 1) the obvious outcome given the government’s admission that it wrongfully deported him 2) a huge relief (and personally a surprise to me that it’s unanimous) 3) not the end of the story—now comes the question of enforcing the order

"Wouldn't it make sense to prosecute him?" -- even Fox News thinks it's suspicious that Karoline Leavitt can't cite any actual evidence justifying the administration's deportations to a gulag in El Salvador without due process (note Leavitt claiming "this administration is doing things differently")

We are literally being led by the dumbest people alive

Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed the SAVE Act, a bill that would make it much harder for millions of people to register to vote. We're calling on the Senate to reject this legislation.

Padilla: "When Democrats have proposals on how we strengthen our democracy and voting rights, the Republicans are so quick to say, 'No no, states run elections, the federal govt should not dictate how states do it.' But when it's Donald Trump who has these horrible ideas, they want to advance it."

New in PN: John Roberts will save the judiciary if he has to burn it down "As we saw this week, whenever there's a danger that the Trump administration might face real consequences for defying a court order, Roberts and company leap on the grenade to make sure it never happens."

NEW: DOJ is dropping its prosecution of a man it identified as an MS-13 leader and whose capture was celebrated with a huge press conference by AG Bondi, Kash Patel and Glenn Youngkin. w/ @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

I don’t know what Susman will do, but if it caved I would be shocked. They’re famously pugnacious and not exposed to corporate lawyers at all.

Rare devil sunrise appears in multiple countries across earth

So accurate 😆

The insider trading shit is a good angle and I’m glad dems are going with it, because it’s simple enough to be easily comprehensible and just straight up corruption.

Cyberbully the 1%

NEWS Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard signed a sworn declaration stating that she was a resident of the State of Texas. But then she voted in Hawaii.

2019 is calling and saying, hey, why didn’t you listen

Imagine that. Is there any doubt in anyone’s mind they were tipped off? They are laughing at us all. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

All this "fraud" and yet still not a single fraud charge filed.

This is a little embarrassing

Oh sweet mother of God no

The Fed didn’t come to his rescue. China didn’t cave. Now he’s begging Congress to bail him out.

McGovern: "How is any company supposed to forecast for their future, build a plant, hire workers, if they have no idea what the hell this president is gonna do in his next tweet? ... I need a neck brace to be able to get through all this."

An administration filled with antisemites can’t expect us to believe that this is about fighting antisemitism. They are weaponizing antisemitism to advance a xenophobic agenda. Fighting antisemitism requires fighting for a strong democracy, not hatred and authoritarianism.

I spoke to a new group who just started organizing in Kansas City. This is their fourth meeting with about 80 in attendance. They organized an empty seat Townhall last month. Keep at it, friends.
