No way I believe she died by suicide. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

This is straight authoritarianism

Trump tariffed every country, even penguins, but not Russia. He said it’s because he’s negotiating the wars end. But he DID tariff Ukraine. Hmmm

Happy Easter! I wish you all Joy today—thankful for everything. And yes, we still do Easter baskets.

This is evil. It puts innocent lives in danger. And the neo-Brownshirts will be harassing many American health workers — most of them Black. The devil is laughing in hell as this Administration does his bidding.

A federal judge has once again blocked Musk staffers who are operating within the Social Security Administration from accessing the sensitive personal data of millions of Americans.

China has stopped buying LNG from the U.S. Have fun with this, Texas.

Eliminating Head Start. Laying off all the CDC employs who work on lead poisoning. Discrediting childhood vaccines during a measles outbreak. Cutting funds for school lunches. A look at some of the under-the-radar ways the Trump administration is waging war on America's children: wapo.st/4jcUg2f

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

Secret pod is up!

Being ethical is now disqualifying for a position with the United States Department of Justice. What a travesty!

“This is a moral moment. It’s not left or right. It’s right or wrong. Let’s get in good trouble.” Sen. Cory Booker, 4/1/2025

Either the courts get to decide who is a “violent criminal” or “gang member”, or Donald Trump gets to decide. That choice determines whether we are a Republic governed by laws or an autocracy living under a ruler.

Steve Kerr: "I believe in academic freedom. I think it's crucial for all of our institutions to be able to handle their own business the way they want to. And they should not be shaken down and told what to teach, what to say, by our government. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."

Before the election, I heard people saying “you all are overreacting! He was President before. And we survived!” Yeah? Well OJ Simpson’s FIRST WIFE survived as well. She lived. That doesn’t mean he was husband material. When the pilot crashes the plane, don’t book the return flight with him!

Editor Commentary: Trump’s tariff trade war will impact nearly every item you can imagine: clothing, shoes, computers, phones, tablets, gaming consoles and controllers, automobiles, wine and spirits, everyday household items, furniture, coffee, chocolate.

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment? They utterly failed the test of history.

Imagine, if you will, just how much Donald Trump must hate the United States of America.

Make America Great Again🙄

America, Quick briefing on Ohio’s newest Senator. He’s infamous for being one of the least intelligent people on the public scene. Not quite Tuberville level. But in that category. You’ll see how much he struggles here, and then falls back to lame slogans to save himself. 1/

This is what corruption looks like.

Not drag queens

Billionaire Elon Musk handed out million-dollar checks to two voters in Wisconsin and promised smaller payments to others who help elect a conservative candidate to the state's top court in a closely watched election reut.rs/41T85Nk

A lesson in right vs wrong: Using government power to target political enemies is wrong. Standing up for those who are targeted is right. Bowing down is wrong. Refusing to be deterred and stating tall is right. Silence is wrong. Peaceful opposition is right. www.cnn.com/2025/03/30/p...

After Trump’s self-destructive trade war chaos, South Korea and Japan agree with China to strengthen free trade. www.france24.com/en/live-news... When MAGA nationalism pulls US back, others will fill the void. “America first” means US falling behind.

There were four Republican-backed extreme constitutional amendments on the ballot in Louisiana yesterday. The voters REJECTED them all (in a state Trump won by 22 points in November). Keep the pressure on.

YouGov poll: 74% Americans — including 60% of Republicans — say the Trump admin's use of the Signal chat to discuss military strikes is a serious problem.

Walter Cronkite: “We can be certain that the first target of the demagogues is to destroy the effectiveness of the free press that prevents them from doing their dirty deeds in the dark corners that they would prefer.”
