Are Elon and Trump still fueding, or did they kiss and make up. I'm trying to plan my popcorn purchases accordingly.

WATCH: Republicans who said they wouldn’t cut Medicaid just voted to cut $1 Trillion from Medicaid. @RepHarshbarger @RepTimBurchett @RepMarkGreen @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty @RepChuck @AndyOgles

Marco Rubio has gone full Homer Hedge.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Georgia is keeping a brain-dead woman alive, to keep the fetus alive that doctors say will likely not survive. You know why Republican parents say they're "expecting" a baby? Because sometimes God's will means accepting not every fetus will survive. #ProudBlue #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

House Republicans prioritize billionaires over babies. Cuts to Medicaid are stupid, cruel, and morally reprehensible.

My first instinct is that the plane is not electronically clean, nor is it safe —both of these options are controlled by a foreign government.

Coming Soon 👇🏽

Tear off the masks when they show up. Take their photos. Get them on video. Expose them. Out them. Name them. They need to be made into pariahs where decent people gather. We cannot allow them to terrorize us. Eyes open. Phones on.

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

Happy Europe Day!

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

“I think this says that they will not tolerate us being active participants in our democracy—they want an autocracy,” Emily Feiner told Mother Jones. Meet the 64-year-old retired social worker who went viral after being forcibly removed from her representative's town hall.

Take it from a red stater. Stand up and talk back.

Congratulations to all who’ve survived Arm-ageddon—that harrowing moment when you wake up and your arm is numb, lifeless, and cold. You lie there thinking, “Well, this is it.” Then the feeling starts to come back... and you brace for death by rogue blood clot.

What kind of narcissistic ne’er-do-well demands a military parade for his birthday? Oh right, Donald. Hell, he could propose rerouting the Potomac to create a White House moat, and his stooges would cheer: “Great idea, boss! We’ll just starve these kids over here to pay for it."

No notes. h/t @ianbremmer.com

Happy Sunday to all who celebrate—waking up to a new day, ready to phone a friend, skeet a thought, step outside, read that magazine, listen to a book, cook something great, nap in the sun, or simply do nothing at all.

Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."

The facts are the facts: their proposed budget is not going to make life easier for 99% of us. I can’t WAIT until the day that Republicans decide to show up and work for the people who elected them.

I just think it’s funny that the president thinks making everything more expensive will be no big deal in a nation that exists because its ancestors overthrew their government rather than pay an extra tax on tea

Dear #GOP You are running out of time to decide if you take him down or he is the concrete shoes that drown you. Thanks, Sane America

MAGA neighbor’s been oddly quiet lately. I think he’s orbiting the cognitive dissonance star—also known as checking his 401(k).

Trump is lazy, apparently. Who knew other than everybody.

A child in control

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

Mountains of shame on Shari Redstone and everyone else involved here trying to settle such a ridiculous and baseless legal action. They’re so poor, all they have is money and they will eventually pay the price for their grotesque behavior.

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum: “We are going to change the law to prohibit foreign governments from carrying out political and ideological propaganda in our country.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/w...

Q: "If you were president and this were your secretary of defense, what would you do?" Rep. Don Bacon: "I wouldn't tolerate it. I would hold them accountable and I'd fire them."

On this day in 1985, New Coke debuted—one of history’s biggest product flops. Then came Trump in 2025, fleecing America, neutering the GOP & stunning the world economy. In just 100 days, he’s erased more wealth than every failed product combined. $10T down. Pure MAGA genius.

WHO ELSE AGREES WITH BARBRA?! 🤚

When will Republicans leadership have a talk with their unruly teenager? Will it be before or after he destroys the economy? How many trillions will it take?
