The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

The Wealthy In This Country Would Poison Us For The Sake Of Profit!!!

"We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can't have both." —Louis Brandeis

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

He is a brave and honorable man. I wish he was our President!

We are only rivals in good times. In times like these, we are “all-for-one, and one-for-all.” My heart is with our precious Noles and their families💔💔💔 Too many of these survivors are also survivors of Parkland.

Come on June

If the precedent gets set that the president can remove nonprofit status from anyone he disagrees with, then any Democratic president in the future that allows the ADF and heritage and megachurches to be considered nonprofits is explicitly endorsing them.

Social Security numbers are issued to undocumented immigrants so they can work legally and pay taxes roughly $26 billion

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

Good news that he is alive! Only way this photo op happens is if someone is nervous. Keep up the pressure!

#ProudBlue What is wrong with people that can look at pictures like this and not just feel sick and have their hearts ache? They obviously lack empathy, are self-centered and dismissive of others' feelings, prioritizing their own needs and desires. I find it shocking there are so many cruel people.

The IRS has begun planning to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status. But the legal basis for that move is one that “conservatives, more than anyone, should oppose,” Conor Clarke writes:

Schedule F is back on the agenda: Once Trump has gutted the bureaucracy, making civil servants at will is his plan for ensuring political loyalty for the rest of his term. Quick summary here on research about politicization. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-resea...

Social Security has NEVER missed a payment in almost a century. Social Security WORKS.

The American Civil Liberties Union asked 2 federal judges to not deport any Venezuelans held in N. Texas under 18th century wartime law. Immigration authorities appeared to be moving to restart removals, despite Supreme Court’s restrictions on how it can use the act www.ajc.com/news/nation-...

The Medicaid budget cut is a betrayal to our veterans who rely on it for healthcare services. How can we claim to support our troops when we're taking away their health care? #MedicaidCutsKillUS #MomSky

Guys, this is David Brooks in the NY Times. If it's like this 90 days into this presidency with people who wouldn't be caught dead saying it last year, imagine it in two years. Something good is happening, we just have to lift everybody up so they can see it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

Exclusive: Immigrants falsely labeled dead by the Social Security Administration are showing up at field offices with documents proving they are alive, leading staff to reinstate nearly three dozen people over the past week, according to records obtained by The Post.

“.. the rest of the world has crossed a red line, and they will try to reduce dependence on the U.S. on trade, on defense and everything. There’s no way back,” he said. @barrons.com @pattidomm.bsky.social www.barrons.com/articles/for...

Ohio Medicaid got rid of big middlemen. Says it paid pharmacies a lot more — and saved $140M ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/04/17/o...

Owning an electric car is definitely different. I drive a Lucid (far superior to a Tesla), and it was having charging issues. Called Lucid service and they had me "reboot" the car. And it worked. So apparently I am just driving a giant computer. 😂

Fascism creeps up. It starts slowly. Working step-by-step. Methodical. You become so accustomed to the noise, you tune it out. Then the knocks come. First, it’s at others’ doors. You think it won’t land on your steps. But it will. It always does. That’s why we protest now—while we all still can.

Goldman: "Think about whether any of us want to vote a certain way but bc we fear for our personal safety, we decide to vote differently. We are no longer representing our constituents. We are representing something else more like the bully threatening us. That is more like Vladimir Putin operates"

Can states withhold the tax revenue we would otherwise send to the feds so we can inspect our own goddamned food? www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

Trump wants him there—and is paying for him to be there. A conservative judge calls it a “shocking” abuse of power. Sen. Van Hollen visits Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. I break it down. #RuleOfLaw #AbregoGarcia #DueProcess #AndrewWeissmann #ClarionCall

Trump is going to return us to the “Golden Days” of the Depression.

Popok: This is not just about Abrego Garcia—and they’re right. It’s not about whether he is or isn’t MS-13. This is about the rule of law and our co-equal branches of government. This is about greater principles.

Reminder, just last year, Arnold Viersen CPC - brought forward a private members petition against abortion in Canada, so Poilievre lied last night, stating they have not tried to bring forward bills, technically, private members bill still get read in Parliament. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
