NEW: Sen. Elizabeth Warren speaks to MeidasTouch about Donald Trump's stock manipulation scheme and more.

Bernie Sanders made an appearance at Coachella to introduce Clairo. "The future of what happens to America is dependent on your generation. Now, you can turn away and you can ignore what goes on, but if you do that, you do that at your own peril.” Love this dude!

Trump and the U.S. are officially in a trade war with China. Here’s what you should know.

HASSETT: If you look at the latest jobs report, it was way, way above even what I expected TAPPER: You know the jobs data was from before the "liberation day"

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

L - The official photo from the Kremlin of US Special Envoy @SteveWitkoff putting his hand over his heart as he greets his friend Vladimir Putin again this week. R - Putin’s latest missile attack killing at least 21 people, including 7 children, on Palm Sunday. Putin’s stooge.

AOC: “36,000 people. Biggest rally Bernie or I have ever done. Thank you, LA!”

When Trump said he'd stop people entering the country, I'm not sure this is what he had in mind...

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

The so-called Defense Secretary has ordered 400 books removed from the Naval Academy library. This outrageous ban includes works about Slavery and the Holocaust, but not a book written by Adolf Hitler. The effort to whitewash our history must be reversed and Pete Hegseth fired IMMEDIATELY.

The turd doesn't fall far from the ***hole

More lost American business; more lost American jobs.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

The Department of Homeland Security requested the Social Security Administration to enter more than 6,000 names of immigrants into its database used to track dead people, according to a DHS official with knowledge of the decision.

True story.

🇬🇧🇺🇦 Prince Harry, who visited Ukraine, was presented with basket with Easter cakes made from flour from demined fields. 🐣 Easter cakes were baked by a grandmothers from Sumy region, and the pysanka were given by the mother of Iryna Tsybukh, a paramedic who died in the Kharkiv region.

Colonel Susan Meyers of the US Space Force, stationed at Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, was removed from her command after criticizing Vance’s unneeded and costly visit to Greenland. She stated her loyalty to the US and the law and not to politicians so Trump got rid of her.

Amazing that without even mentioning a name, EVERYONE knows exactly who it's referencing.

First came the market manipulation. Now come the bribes.

JUST IN: The Supreme Court says the Trump administration must "facilitate" the return of a man mistakenly deported to El Salvador but stops short of requiring it. cnn.it/4cwhQof

🇨🇳Chinese, 🇻🇳Vietnamese, 🌍Africans, 🇰🇵North Koreans are going to fight in Ukraine on the side of Russia…

"Wouldn't it make sense to prosecute him?" -- even Fox News thinks it's suspicious that Karoline Leavitt can't cite any actual evidence justifying the administration's deportations to a gulag in El Salvador without due process (note Leavitt claiming "this administration is doing things differently")

MAGA cult economics

Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history. They aren't even bothering to hide it.

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

It has been noticeable, to me at least, that Elon Musk is being marginalized in the WH. Trump is holding a cabinet meeting today and Musk won't be there. He hasn't been around all week as far as I've been able to tell. It seems the Wisconsin election caused his star to fade.

“It’s the most extraordinary attack on voting rights in American history,” Wilentz said. “This is an attempt to destroy American democracy as we know it. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

Another day in the life of the most unserious man in America

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been. What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

Maddow: They cannot defend what they're doing, they cannot commit to what they're doing, but they also can't even reverse what they're doing when they try to reverse it because they are so incompetent, they can't even fail properly

Trump is trying to deregulate crypto as his personal businesses get more involved in the industry. He also just gutted the DOJ team that investigates crypto fraud. This may be one of most overt conflicts of interest in presidential history and it's hardly a blip on the news.

Nevada Republican Governor Joe Lombardo during a recent private dinner said that Nevadans who participated in the “Hands Off” rallies were just folks looking for “handouts” and that their central message was that they don't want to go back to work. He said he is troubled by the "Hands Off" message.

The cowards at Paul Weiss own this most of all, but they are joined in disgrace by Milbank, Willkie Farr, and Skadden. Trump suggested there are other firms that have agreed to debase themselves, but did not reveal the names.

Trump surrendered again on tariffs after the bond market went nuts, which he and his advisers were too stupid to foresee, then he was unable to get House Republicans to agree on a budget deal even after it was brought to the floor for a vote, all while claiming victory the entire time.

Of course they did.
