Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal. Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration. See how this works?

Viktor Orban where you at chicken 🐓

80 years ago today 4/29/1945 Fascist Italian dictator Benito Mussolini is shot & killed & hung in the town square with 3 other Fascist leaders & his mistress. Mussolini’s body/face is then pummeled to an unrecognizable form by many thousands of angry Italians seeking revenge.

The Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan, went to pay his respects to the servicemembers and civilians lost in Pearl Harbor on “June 7th, 1941.” It looks good, except Pearl Harbor happened on December 7th. It seems Mr. Phelan skipped that part of history class. Only the best people, right?

(AP) — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer, two people familiar with the line told The Associated Press. apnews.com/article/hegs...

This is a plan for dictatorship

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Purported ICE agents raid a courthouse in Charlottesville in plain clothes without badges, ID or warrants, cart off two men without explanation. One of the three men was masked and the detainees were ushered into unmarked van. Video in the article. dailyprogress.com/news/local/c...

This should be the top story in Axios’s morning read. But it isn’t. It’s the FIFTH top story. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/04/23/t...

In addition to a baby bonus that will barely cover the cost of a crib, have you considered paid family leave, affordable childcare and universal healthcare?

I would never have imagined I would be considered a political activist. I have always been aware of political goings on, but until the death of my brother due to the Jan 6th Insurrection, I have gone from silent to action. Our duty as citizens is to oppose Trump.

BREAKING: I have no intention of piloting an F-22 Sorry, I thought we were just declining to do things we had no real authority to do anyway

🧵1 Another round of judge firings just dropped—Trump axed at least 8 more immigration judges in MA, CA & LA. Why? Because trials take “too long.” He wants mass deportations, not due process. This is how authoritarian regimes operate. tinyurl.com/Fired-judges

A few weeks ago, chemical lobbyists asked the Trump administration to shut down an EPA website showing the locations of thousands of dangerous chemical facilities. The EPA just took it down.

Jessica: There was someone on it who had been picked up as “tren de aragua” because there was a picture of him with a multicolored pistol they were saying was a gun, but it was a toy.

When the Secretary of Defense broadcasts attack plans on a public app [TWICE] and the Secretary of Homeland Security has her bag stolen in a restaurant ........ it's not wrong to question how secure the country is. WTF? www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/p...

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."

Last week, WaPo reported that 17 of 18 intelligence agencies said that Tren de Aragua had no substantive tie to Venezuela. This effectively says one of two claims on which Trump based his Alien Enemies Act invocation is false. Now, Tulsi says down is up.

Musk’s cost-cutting goals are getting exponentially smaller as he’s slowly realizing that the government is not a car company. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Chart

Little children ... who are separated from everyone they know, probably terrified, and have no understanding of what's happening to them. And how many of them end up disappeared or trafficked? Anyone who supports this is a monster.

Omg, the shade 😎 Chinese Embassy for the win!

The only thing that’s going to get you fired from a Trump 2.0 cabinet is disloyalty to Trump. No act of incompetence, mismanagement, criminality, or malfeasance can get you fired. As long as you are loyal to Trump, you can pretty much do anything.

Not to put too fine of a point on this, but if I spent the last few months putting innocent people in concentration camps and the pope died basically three seconds after I met him, I would not continue life apace, I would not immediately clock back in at the fascism factory.

Let’s hope Noem’s purse did not contain her cell phone with any active Signal chats www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I used to work in a refrigerated warehouse. I’ll never forget the smell of a truckload of frozen chicken that had thawed during shipping. Every pallet was dripping chicken juice - the floor was slick with it. A food inspector rejected the load, which otherwise would have gone to stores for sale.

The North American Building Trade Unions are calling for the return of their member, Kilmer Abrego Garcia, who is the victim of human trafficking by our government.

DOGE already has cost tax payers money (at the very least $500B/year in IRS revenues, but that's before other huge costs are accounted for). And as I keep noting, Elon's $150B/year estimate is what some of the IGs who got fired were finding--w/o cutting services.

Oof. We’ve fallen so far, so fast.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.
