On 13 April T.A. 3018: while visiting Frodo, Gandalf determines that Bilbo's magic ring is, in fact, the One Ring. Gandalf tells Frodo its history and Frodo volunteers to leave the Shire. Sam was certainly not eavesdropping..! Image: @donatoarts.bsky.social - Bag End: Shadow of the Past.

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

So far, the Trump regime has ignored the court order.

If this administration can pluck random people off the street and deport them without due process — none of us are safe.

Tell Republicans in Congress: PROTECT MEDICAID, NOT TAX BREAKS FOR BILLIONAIRES!

A 31-year old unvaccinated man has just died from measles in Chihuahua, Mexico. His infection is reported to be related to the Texas outbreak. Four unvaccinated people have died in this measles outbreak so far. The only thing that prevents measles is the MMR vaccine.

Everyone needs to see the best moments from Bernie Sanders and AOC’s rally in front of 36,000 people today. Something big is happening in this country.

We don't need any more cuts. A Wealth Tax of just 2% on assets over £10 million would raise £24 BILLION per year. That's what I've been fighting for - and that's the way to pay for the investment our public services so desperately need. www.change.org/p/tax-wealth...

Billionaires are now worth a record $9 TRILLION. They don't need more tax breaks.

There are only a few days left to file your taxes. If you haven't yet, check if you qualify to file FREE with the IRS: directfile.irs.gov FYI, the IRS was only able to launch Direct File thanks to restored funding. It's one of the first things Republicans are attacking.

They are obviously slow learners

Elon Musk can't be trusted with rockets, drugs, video games, social media, or even his own children. He damn sure can't be trusted with your data.

The government acknowledges that it ripped our client Mahmoud Khalil from his home and his family solely because of his political beliefs and expression. Ideas aren’t illegal. Mahmoud must be released.

Markets dropped again Thursday as investors and businesses focused on the escalating U.S.-China trade war and what it could mean for the economy. For his part, President Trump showed no immediate signs of easing the Chinese tariffs. John Yang reports. youtu.be/VAixKPkz2qg

In a dramatic vote, House Republicans passed a $5 trillion budget framework that kick starts the process for President Trump’s agenda on Capitol Hill. It came less than a day after hard-line conservatives refused to support it. Congressional correspondent Lisa Desjardins... youtu.be/iiGzp_7QfSo
