WATCH: “Jesus took care of the poor! You will not get to Heaven! Shame shame shame! Talk to your own employees!” Trump’s budget guy (Project 2025 author) Russ Vought ignores federal workers after a hearing where he was asked about his harmful budget cuts. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DKfpYoH...

One Big Beautiful Bill needs a fun nickname to make its ghastly objectives more palatable. May i suggest OBBBa the Trump? Legislators could get a happy meal of garbage & a toy for their yes votes. (Bonus, he looks just like Trump! the king will be so pleased!)

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

🚨BREAKING: Liberal Party leader Mark Carney wins the election to become Canada’s next prime minister.

In an extraordinary on-air rebuke, one of the top journalists at “60 Minutes” directly criticized the program’s parent company, Paramount, in the final moments of its Sunday night CBS telecast, its first episode since the program’s executive producer, Bill Owens, announced his intention to resign.

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

Resist.Stand Up.Once they come for one of us.They come for all. 473 showed for #IndivisibleWA8 to say #FreeKilmar in sm town of #Issaquah. To say #DueProcess is right afforded all persons! No ❌secret police ❌people disappeared ❌offshore Gulags 1st they came for Kilmar.Next they come for you.

When political forces manipulate law enforcement to target judges, US institutions suffer. Trump’s strategy to weaponize justice against those who defend it must be condemned without hesitation.

ROBERTS: Critics will say this is the government expanding the powers of Article 1 of the Constitution, now they're arresting judges. How do you respond? BONDI: Nobody is above the law

She sure did. I just watched her. Brag brag braggity brag. One day, this will come back to bite AG Bondi.

Yet not brutal enough

"No one is above the law." Except AG Pam Bondi. Except President Donald T-word. Except J6 insurrectionists. Except everyone who gives money to T-word. Except Except Except. Ok, let's just say, everyone who kisses T-word's rear is above the law. But nobody else! Except...

An important statement signed by 5 of the 8 University of Michigan regents. www.michigandaily.com/opinion/op-e...

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

This is also a remarkable statement from a prominent journalist who himself works for a large wealthy corporation. “Hope you enjoy the money, Shari.”

Wow. I'm glad they said this.

Drunk and in way over his head. I think he actually knows he's drowning but is too terrified to admit it. He should have declined the appointment. Said thank you, but I can't do this job. This will end badly, for our nation, of course, but also for him. Sinking fast, he is.

Remember the Pope’s final plea before his passing: a ceasefire for Gaza. These were his last wishes.

Boo hoo poor Elon, he really thinks he can just walk away after all the damage he did. The world won’t rest until everything around him crashes and he ends up the poorest man in the world. There will be no forgiveness. Musk should just flee back to South Africa. #endoligarchy #teslatakedown

Perfection

FLORIDA… Republican Rep. @ByronDonalds turn to hear it from voters…

the fundamental problem with these people (not jonathan) is that they don’t seem to believe in anything. if you’re willing to sacrifice one of the foundational rights of constitutional government on the altar of “buh this might not be popular” then what won’t you sacrifice?

The only appropriate response to this is impeachment and removal from office. Every moment the political press spends spinning out theories about 2026 and immigration polling is a minute they are not spending asking Republicans in Congress about their plans to enforce the rule of law

“They walked the full length of the train and questioned every single passenger about their citizenship status. According to the conductor, who has worked nearly 40 years on that route, this was a first. In all his decades of service, federal agents have never boarded his train like this.”

I've been in El Salvador all day fighting for the return of Mr. Abrego Garcia. The Trump Administration can lie all they want, but the Court said they failed to show he was part of MS-13. This is about bringing home a man they ADMIT should never have been abducted. I won't rest until then.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

they want us poor, sick and desperate

Yeah. Kind of like how caring about and spreading the story of one teenage girl who wrote a diary during the Holocaust before she died was taking the bait and accomplished nothing.

Attention: Musk’s staffers are now seeking access to a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants. DOGE was never about saving the U.S. money—it’s about building a government-run machine to weaponize personal data.

This is just as morally reprehensible as the lies being spewed by the Republicans. If you don't fight for "one hairdresser" (actually a makeup artist, but why not toss in a whiff of implied homophobia), soon they'll be coming for your other constituents, and then for you. Really disgusting

What a weirdo the T-word is. Didn't he also just say he's going everyone pay through EFTPS (electronic payments) instead of having checks as a payment option? Because making everything harder is the best way to achieve tax compliance? What an idiot. Total. Idiot.

JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)

meanwhile, prominent pundits continue to deny that there the administration adheres to a segregationist ideology

Our brother Kilmar. Bring him home!

"We have instances now in western countries where people are being arrested [...] the cop comes knocking on their door, you're going to go to jail for 60 days for posting something online. You know, this is crazy stuff that's happening all over." Marco Rubio on April 16, 2025, if you can believe it

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

These are the 4 Democrats who voted with Republicans Ed Case (HI Dist 2)term ends 2027 Henry Cuellar (TX Dist 28) term ends 2027 Jared Golden (ME Dist 2) term ends 2027 Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (WA Dist 3) term ends 2027 It's interesting their terms all end in 2027 Vote them out.

Bondi grotesquely claims that Abrego Garcia's wife and child are better off with him gone
