Good news.

www.huffpost.com/entry/patrio... the #Patriots are shameful. This is an incredibly callous move.

Your now regular reminder that threatening the sovereignty of a NATO ally, while 🇷🇺 is illegally occupying 20% of 🇺🇦 & 🇨🇳 is eyeing 🇹🇼 & illegally seizing territory in the S. China Sea, is not only shameful & obscene, it is also a massive national security risk that should immediately end a presidency.

“It’s hard to see how Trump would have acted any differently if he were a Russian asset than how he has acted in the first 100 days of his second term.” Huh. You don't say. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...

"Though confidence in Trump's ability to manage the economy was a key selling point to many voters in the November election, 76% of participants said they disapprove of how he's handling it, the survey said..." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Liar liar, hair on fire.

Trump has been caught making millions pumping a meme coin in exchange for dinner with him and a tour of the White House. This is not only unethical, it’s ILLEGAL.

Donald Trump wants you to think it’s justice vs. safety. That’s a lie. As VoteVets’ Max Rose put it: “There’s a false choice between justice, safety, and fairness.” We can have strong borders and defend the Constitution. Trump and the MAGA Party are losing this fight—and they know it.

We are in a constitutional crisis. Donald Trump won't listen to the Supreme Court and is now considering deporting American citizens. The stakes could not be higher. We need accountability now more than ever before.

Amir Makled sat down with All Things Considered host Juana Summers to describe his experience, and what it could mean for other attorneys who are going against the wishes of the Trump administration.

This action is illegal and violates IRS regulations—specifically 26 U.S. Code § 6103, which protects the confidentiality of taxpayer information. To make it happen, Trump removed the top IRS lawyer and replaced them with a loyalist.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.   It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

Government policy should be based on good ideas, not whichever billionaire pays our corrupt President the most. Watch @mcuban.bsky.social talk with @therickwilson.bsky.social on the LP Podcast: www.youtube.com/watch?v=di3A...

Today is #EqualPayDay, a reminder of the gender pay gap. In 2024, women were paid 18% less than men per hour, on average. Black & Hispanic women experience even larger pay gaps. The Trump admin's recent actions will worsen this gap and harm women & workers of color. www.epi.org/blog/gender-...

Plain, clear, simple language that speaks to almost anyone.

This is unreal. A state Supreme Court race. The cancer has permeated the entire system.

It will never be enough. The goal is to break the University, not have them meet demands. Taunting Columbia with the hope of compliance just sweetens the pot with humiliation.

#GOP abusing #seniors stealing their earned #SSA

Can confirm “State of Maine” hasn’t apologized. (As the official keeper of all state records and guardian of the seal ;))

#GOP #NC stealing our votes

It’s just so stupid.

While the VA never offered gender-affirming surgery, it did offer treatments like hormone therapy. The agency says less than than 0.1% of the 9 million veterans it provides care for identify as trans.

Homan: "We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think. I don't care what the left thinks. We're coming."

Well I feel at ease.

This may be the most truthful thing that a flak for Donald Trump has ever said.

#Coup

Musk’s staffers have entered an independent government agency by force. Employees from DOGE are now inside the Washington offices of the United States Institute of Peace. This comes just days after agency representatives were unable to gain access to the building on Friday being blocked by lawyers.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
