Now we have the answer. The original story was legit then Bezos backed down.

This is becoming a nightmare. This poor family!

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

Another taxpayer funded bailout for victims of Trump’s stupidity, most of whom are his voters.

Incredible question from a constituent at a Mike Lawler Town hall

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations and the super-rich flooded D.C. with campaign cash and ransacked our system. It won't be easy, but here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Houthis say at least 68 African migrants killed in U.S. airstrike on detention center https://twp.ai/4ilvv7

People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means. It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.

Cities across Ukraine came under renewed attack overnight on Saturday, as Russia launched another barrage of drone strikes on the country, just hours after First Felon Trump voiced his suspicion that Vladimir Putin wasn’t actually serious about ending the war.

Thank you to everyone who shared their story today on the Capitol steps or online. This is how we will stop cuts to Medicaid, this is how we will stop Trump and congressional Republicans devastating agenda, this is how we will rise.

We told the truth about who he is. It has nothing to do with any other Italian or person of Italian descent. He was a mass-murderer, thief, enslaver, torturer, and incompetent governor who was despised by his own men & fellow officers and died penniless after being imprisoned.

This is how terrified they are of people in government telling the truth to the American people about what they are doing behind the scenes. Cockroaches hate sunlight.

WISCONSIN: The chair of the elections commission, a lawyer, breaks down what actually happened using the actual complaint. Arresting judges like this is a wild fast-forwarding of our plunge into authoritarianism.

#Gunsense

How can anyone with a conscience be okay with this?

Thank you to everyone who showed up, good news, the judge has been released!

This is absolutely brutal

A federal judge has sentenced former Congressman George Santos to 87 months in prison over multiple wire fraud and identity theft charges in connection with his 2022 run for Congress. (via @wshupublicradio.bsky.social)

NEW: Statement from attorney for Judge Dugan. "Hannah C. Dugan has committed herself to the rule of law and the principles of due process for her entire career as a lawyer and a judge. Judge Dugan will defend herself vigorously, and looks forward to being exonerated."

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that federal authorities may once again seek reporters’ phone records and compel their testimony in leak investigations, reversing a policy that was designed to protect journalists from intrusive government efforts to identify and prosecute sources.

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

Commerce Department employees caught up in a legal battle over their mass firings are now learning that their health care coverage was cut off weeks ago, even though they were paying their premiums.

House Rep. Gerry Connolly is pushing CDC leadership to explain why the personnel who handle FOIA requests lost their jobs, noting that that the public has a right to access federal records.

A charity tied to Gov. Ron DeSantis’s wife, Casey DeSantis, gave $10 million to nonprofit political committees that helped the governor defeat a ballot measure.

Today is Day 13. Still 0 deals.

Granted, I'm neither Jewish nor an expert on antisemitism, but I have a strong hunch here that the Trump administration canvassing college faculty to find out who's Jewish on campus for "record keeping" is probably about neither keeping Jewish people safe nor combatting antisemitism.

I want politics to be about a better everyday life. Here's what that can look like:

"Multiple sources told CNN that as Hegseth has grown increasingly paranoid about the potential of leaks to the media within the Pentagon and has begun largely depending on a small circle for counsel, including his wife..." www.cnn.com/2025/04/23/p...

ICE showed up today where I attend school at the University of Houston. It’s hard enough trying to study and prepare for finals, we should be able to do that without fear of being illegally sent to a foreign country.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

"Just because they're trying to do really, really bad things doesn't change the fact that they're also just really bad at everything they try to do." youtu.be/bFKxLJuJPZA

This is really really scary and bad www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Of course they want to help Russia www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

‘Taylor Foods of California’...👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

THIS is what we mean by showing up. Reps Carter, Thompson, Pressley and Sen Markey, went to a detention center where Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk are being held w/out due process. They didn’t just stand up for their own constituents—they stood together for all because there’s power in numbers.

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...

NEW: In a news release published Monday, the City of Hyattsville Police Department said: “At no time did any member of the HPD identify or file any reports classifying Abrego Garcia as a member of any gang,” HPD’s statement read. This contradicts DHS' claim. www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-n...

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

This is where we are headed.

A US citizen with a learning disability who has just suffered a medical emergency asks a CBP officer for directions outside the emergency room. He ends up detained in an icebox for ten days and has the assistant secretary of DHS lying about him to the public at large. popular.info/p/us-citizen...

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.

Breaking News: Three federal prosecutors who worked on the criminal corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams said that they would resign rather than admit wrongdoing in refusing to abandon the case, according to an email obtained by The New York Times.
