TODAY's MUST READ: Our excerpt from MONEY LIES AND GOD, the compelling expose of Christian Nationalism and its roots here and in Russia by @katherinestewart.bsky.social.

Banning stock trading my members of Congress should be a no-brainer. Insider trading like this is shameless and corrupt. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u...

She nailed it.

@aoc.bsky.social She is slaying it! 👏

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

Trump orders U.S. government to stop tracking "super gonorrhea" that is resistant to most antibiotics: www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Amazing @aoc.bsky.social is telling it like it is.

"The proposal....says it would target 'criminal illegal aliens' and would attempt to avoid legal challenges by designating part of the prison — which has drawn accusations of violence and overcrowding from human rights groups — AS AN AMERICAN TERRITORY." www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

This will be a great success

@sanders.senate.gov + @aoc.bsky.social + Neil Young + Maggie Rogers + more What the heck? Bernie-chella is 🔥

The Trump administration has cut funding and programs for HIV research, treatment, and prevention so deeply that “we’re watching the field burn to the ground,” one researcher told Katherine J. Wu.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. says he plans to tell CDC to stop recommending fluoride in drinking water.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

The ability of people to access federal programs should not be a function of whether federal administrators personally like or dislike a state's governor. www.huffpost.com/entry/janet-...

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.

Tonight we learned that it was indeed Andry, the gay man sent to El Salvador because of his “mom” and “dad” tattoos, who an American journalist saw sobbing as guards slapped him repeatedly and shaved his head. He is an innocent. And Trump sent him to a torture prison. Bring them back!

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Our government has gone INSANE.

In the culmination of a weeks-long standoff between Elon Musk’s DOGE team and the United States Institute of Peace, a federal judge has ruled that DOGE can take over USIP’s $500 million office building—for free.

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA? President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants… The book is called “The Jungle.”

Sad day indeed

Who voted for this?

youtube.com/watch?v=u6TL... Professor Barbara Walter warns the US is a declining democracy hurtling down the road toward tyranny and civil war.

Wow. 38% of the staff from the IRS unit that audits billionaires and the ultra-wealthy have now been laid off. That's not cutting waste, fraud, and abuse. That's cutting government employees and agencies that hold the rich and powerful accountable.

DOGE’s transformation of the IRS is likely to lose the agency more money than it saves—and change the way Americans view the tax system, @lorakelley.bsky.social writes in The Atlantic Daily.

Everyone should do this if you haven’t yet!

📌If we lose this Supreme Court election in Wisconsin today, we default to an 1849 law that criminalizes abortion, and the fair maps we FINALLY have up here will be gerrymandered into complete hell. Please VOTE. REMINDER: We HAVE same-day registration, which is also on the line if Crawford loses.

NEW: Thousands of CDC employees who worked on things like preventing HIV and lead poisoning have been told they were subject to a reduction in force. Experts say people will die.

Wisconsin! Judge Susan Crawford will work to protect your rights and freedoms. So get out there and vote today by 8pm. You can find your polling place at wisdems.org/vote. If you have any questions about voting, call or text the Voter Assistance Hotline at 608-336-3232.

Really important read from @jilldlawrence.bsky.social: “Let’s start with the title, “Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History.”... the goal is to mute or silence voices Trump disagrees with.” www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-late...

what's the statute of limitations for criminal charges under the Privacy Act?

Trump imposes tariffs on all car imports: here’s where all EVs available in the US come from

😂

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

Gaslighting at its finest. Blame everything and everyone and not accept responsibility.

Hamdan Ballal, the co-directors of the Oscar-winning Israeli-Palestinian documentary “No Other Land” has been attacked and severely injured by rightwing Israeli settlers. His ambulance was intercepted by Israeli occupation forces and he was taken away. His whereabouts and his condition are unknown.
