This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

The BBC is institutionally biased towards the right and the far right, and here's the proof: the results of an almost perfect before-and-after experiment. My column today. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just one of many atrocities perpetrated by Putin’s regime. But a particularly ugly one.

Pritzker: And we have a president who claims to love America but hates our military so much that can’t be bothered to delay his golf game to greet the bodies of four fallen U.S. soldiers.

Organisers of the London marathon show more leadership than the government. And should be applauded for doing so. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athlet...

A reminder that even if Musk exits the government as he claims, which is likely BS, he and his goons at DOGE have already inflicted massive damage and acts of senseless cruelty on the world.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

NEW: The NYT reports that Abrego Garcia was actually moved to a lower security detention center 9 days ago, but the Trump Administration signed a sworn declaration 6 days ago that he was at CECOT. Here's a gift link to the story: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/u...

Fighting matters. Well done Senator.

Exactly And Still Won’t Believe The Truth!

Sen Van Hollen met with El Salvador's Vice President Félix Ulloa, who told him that the reason they are holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia at CECOT is because the Trump admin is paying them to do so. They also provided no evidence that Abrego Garcia is part of MS-13 or committed any crimes.

Fingers crossed I think Dems are actually figuring out that the harder they fight the more we cheer

They don’t care. They don’t care that the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 to bring an innocent man home to his family. They don’t care. They think it’s funny.

Here is how WaPo handled Dem's 10-day long effort to count every vote in PA vs. GOP's 5-month long effort to throw out thousands of votes in NC. Support independent, pro-democracy media.

Remind me why they put Martha Stewart in prison?

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

I didn’t want this to happen. I voted for the smart black lady.

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

#Tariffs 🤣😂

The irony of Americans electing a fascist because they were more concerned about getting lower grocery prices than saving democracy and then they end up losing democracy AND getting higher grocery prices 🤦🏽‍♂️

I had been reluctant to amplify the theory that Trump's "reciprocal tariff rate" for a given country was based on the dumb calculation: (bilateral trade deficit) divided by (imports from that country) But now USTR has confirmed it. Brief 🧵

I am so incredibly grateful to Team Valimont and every person who has banged on a door, made a phone call, donated, or simply believed in this campaign. Thank you for standing with me. We wouldn't have made it this far without you. - Gay 🧡

Senator Booker is currently still on the floor! Incredible!
