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 Bill Owens, 60 Minutes, resigned rather than apologize for what he didn't do. FOTUS is the problem, accusing CBS of giving ?s predebate. Owens says they didn't. But CBS/Paramount needs to cave for P'mount/Skydance to get FCC merger approval. #1

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.

Al gore is pissed off and I’m here for it

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

👇🎯 This stuff is the entire ballgame. And the fact that this hasn’t immediately ended this presidency is why none of us can seriously believe with certainty that the 2026/28 elections will be free, fair, & competitive. If 👇 goes unpunished, there is literally nothing a president cannot do.

This is Elon Musk‘s former business partner, Dr. Philip Low. He says that Musk’s real intent with DOGE is to defund organizations that regulate HIS companies. When asked about Elon’s claim that his goal is to help American taxpayers, Philip responded by saying that’s BULLSHIT. - 60 Minutes Australia

Don't be surprised if the "concessions" Donald Trump is looking for from foreign countries in exchange for dialing back tariffs are not "you need to buy more pork from American farmers" but "you need to lease another floor in Trump Tower for ten years."

Trump and Vance are like spoiled babies who lash out if they don't get their own way. Meanwhile those within their ranks who truly do and say horrible or ignorant things still have jobs (Signalgate participants, Lutnick's m-i-l & soc. sec, Vance lying about 40% of SS calls being fraud, etc.)

‼️👀⚖️ (Any tax experts want to weigh in on the propriety of this.)

Rep. RASKIN: The DOJ tried stopping you from coming today. They sent two armed marshals to your home to intimidate you. Why did you decide to come? Former DOJ pardon attorney: I don’t want to be complicit in the misuse of Justice Department resources to do political favors.

University presidents, the time is now! Unshackle the general counsel's office! File all the lawsuits! Release the faculty upon the op-ed sections! Write to your alumni, parents, and donors! You have nothing to lose but a tiny percentage of your enormous endowments... www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/u...

This is on FOTUS and everyone who voted for FOTUS. 👇

His only crime is representing a student protestor ... but Chris Hayes forgot one other thing: the guy has a Middle Eastern name.

Proud to be in Michigan's Capitol today, Lansing, for the Hands Off protest! The enthusiasm, passion, & kindness that emanated from this crowd was amazing. From students to young parents to 40-somethings and boomers to elderly folks using walkers and wheelchairs ... the crowd was electric! #HandsOff

Still employed: MID-MARCH: Signalgate participants who shared attack plans with reporter via chat. LATE MARCH: Treasury Sec & billionaire Lutnick claims seniors upset for missing a Soc Sec check are fraudsters. EARLY APRIL: Vance makes ludicrous claim (no proof) that 40% of Soc Sec calls are fraud.

No executive order has the potential to do more permanent damage to our constitutional system than the one Trump signed last week targeting free and fair elections. It is both an unconstitutional power grab and a clear violation of federal law. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

Traveling to MI from AZ. Tues we spent 2 hrs in a cinderblock restroom in OK as 60 mph winds battered our trailer. We drove thru MO in horrible rainstorms including hail, and 2x left the rd in IL for tornado warnings. I am VERY appreciative of the Nat'l Weather Srvc & their weather maps. Hands off!

Thank you for speaking up for so many of us, @booker.senate.gov and doing it with such conviction and stamina. We heard you!

If you care about democracy, you should follow @booker.senate.gov NOW, and when he breaks that longest filibuster speech record, EVERY ONE OF US should post thanking him for his commitment. Do not let our short American attention span sweep this accomplishment under a rug.

Democratic House Rep. Jamie Raskin: “Elon Musk is America's highest paid protestor.” Nailed it! 🔥

- Rumeysa Öztürk has never been charged with a crime. - Mahmoud Khalil has never been charged with a crime. - Momodou Taal has never been charged with a crime. - Badar Khan Suri has never been charged with a crime.

🙌🏼 I’m not sure who had the amazing idea to invite this constitutional lawyer to a senate hearing that intended to prove Biden colluded with Meta to censor conservatives, but she took the opportunity to speak truth to power ✊🏼 on the hypocrite 👑 KING OF FREE SPEECH, Donald Trump, himself. 👏🏼 Brava!!

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... This is beyond reckless. With measles cases spreading across TX and the U.S., we need scientists at the table, not folks pushing conspiracy theories. RFK Jr. is playing games with people’s lives.
