We’re all a little confused, disheartened, and yet… focused. So I recorded a message for all of us: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/a-message-...

They refused to let Texans vote on this. Because they knew it would be voted down. Every last Republican senator who voted for this should be voted out of office.

This is no longer the United States.

Time for today’s edition of Least Surprising News of the Day.

Chuck Grassley gets called out at a town hall… "  Stop the use of the word entitlement because it's insulting to all of us." 🔥 #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

Mahmoud Khalil, a legal U.S. resident, has been held in an ICE detention center for over a month but has still not been charged with a crime.

Our cover this week.

Today in Politics, Bulletin 117. This is a big one packed with lots of news from all over the place. Here is everything that happened today. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

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

I read it…

🤡

a gen x classic rewritten for the times🥲

Trump has ruined his own brand with his crazy tariffs scheme.

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

Pete Hegseth is treating the Pentagon like it’s a Fox News set—ordering a makeup studio while leaking sensitive information in Signal chats. This is what happens when you put clout-chasers in charge of national security.

you’re telling me the white house car sale didn’t work??

Bill Owens, executive producer of “60 Minutes”, resigns: “I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ‘60 Minutes’, right for the audience.” We’re falling into fascism. — Deeper and deeper.

Every state needs to do this ASAP

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.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.  Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.  But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

The Dow Jones is on pace for its worst April since 1932. Are we feeling great yet?

Rinse and repeat for the foreseeable future.

Too bad our country doesn’t believe women. She must have been after her 5 minutes of fame!

We great again yet???

He’s weakening our country. He’s weakening our economy. He’s weakening our alliances. He’s weakening the free world. He’s weakening our influence around the world. And Putin keeps smiling every single day.

Amen.

This is infuriating.

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

I always look forward to funerals too. Good times.

Me either!

Yup. Nice summary of the GOP.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

This is a very, very complex and exceedingly thorough process that involves extensive use of the president’s TiVo remote, so please, please, everyone, give it time www.npr.org/2025/04/21/n...

The award goes to Stephen Miller for Textbook Case of Authoritarian Gaslighting.🏆🥇👏

Sorry, we promised not to post much today but we had to make a special callout. We forgot to give a proper shoutout to a few places yesterday. Denver and Dallas Fort Worth, you broke records. You were incredible.

NASHVILLE today…

Before I go into today's dystopian nightmare, let's take a minute to bring down your blood pressure. Here is one of my favorite creatures, the #RedPanda. Enjoy. #nature #animals

Protesters are out in Colorado Springs! Thank you, Colorado!

#NoKings

The turnout in small towns across the country has been incredible drawing crowds of thousands. We’re already seeing over one million in attendance nationwide, and events are still underway. Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Ohio all had especially surprising showings.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

But I thought they told the Supreme Court it was an administrative error and they COULDN’T (not wouldn’t) get him back? It’s almost as if they’re a bunch of liars who lie.

This is some sick shit

True facts are true
