Preach!

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

🧵1 Sen Booker & Rep Jeffries are still drawing We, the People to the Capitol Steps. Rep Jeffries called on the spirit of John Lewis & made it clear: Good Trouble lives on in heroes like Cole. These kids are fierce. Their fight is righteous. This is the kind of trouble that saves lives.

For nearly 60 days, no food, fuel, medicine or other items has entered the Gaza Strip, blocked by Israel. Aid groups are running out of food to distribute. Markets are nearly bare. Palestinian families are left struggling to feed their children.

Patel works for a President that the Supreme Court decided it should grant immunity to, and who routinely doles out pardons for his political supporters. There is now a whole class of people in America who assume the law is irrelevant to them, and it does not include the judge who was arrested.

Still awaiting comment from the “don’t tread on me” crowd.

The president of the United States wants to recognize Russian territorial gains by illegal use of force so that he can set the precedent for doing the same thing himself in the western hemisphere.

Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

Imagine if Joe Biden, newly in office, had launched a company with Hunter Biden and used his social media to recruit financial backers. Then promised the most generous among them would earn an invitation to a private dinner with him ... Trump just did that.

"The most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done. Not close.” www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

The face of Incompetence

Breaking Reuters:   The Trump admin moved a Venezuelan man who had worked in construction in Philadelphia to Texas for possible deportation *after* a federal judge had issued an order blocking his removal from Pennsylvania or the U.S., according to court records. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The increased media attention to anti-Trump protests signifies a growing recognition that we are in a period of civic unrest – that the public rejection of the Trump/Musk agenda is going to be a big part of the American story in the coming months. www.headsupnews.org/p/lets-talk-...

It's long past time for Pete Hegseth to do the right thing for his country, and resign. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

NEW damning details on Pete Hegseth: Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone. Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it *does* seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?

If today’s right wing media covered the crucifixion

CDC data shows that firearms were the leading cause of death for members of Gen Z in 2023, the most recent year with available data. That year, 11,368 zoomers — people who were born between 1997 and 2012 — were killed by firearms. thetr.ac/lFIkF

Trump team reveals lack of expertise – and patience – as it threatens to abandon Ukraine peace talks

@dianabutlerbass.bsky.social bringing the fire. Gut wrenching. open.substack.com/pub/dianabut...

"Subject has no criminal history" would seem to contradict the "not a very innocent guy" line? But I guess when you've been found guilty of 34 felonies by one judge and jury and adjudicated a rapist by another judge and jury, it's hard to assess the innocence of others.

As Congressional Republicans avoid constituent town halls to answer for their actions — or lack thereof — you can join me for TWO next week. I’ll answer constituent questions about what’s happening in Washington in Brunswick on 4/22, and at the Henrico NAACP town hall in Richmond on 4/23.

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution. This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

People need to be hearing about this shit every single day. Zoom in on literally anything here.
