Quite the compliment coming from one of my favorite accounts on this platform. Thanks for all you do, Rick! From your fan, Mar🐫

Your School House Rock moment...🤔

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Trump and the GOP are gutting the FEC — which enforces campaign finance and anti-corruption laws. See how this works?

This is what drunk on power looks like. It’s why we don’t have kings. (Also, he’ll lose in court if he follows through).

Should this happen, the event would be countered by a massive turnout of citizens protesting his birth.

Trumpty-Dumpty is defunding PBS. What he calls "bias" some of us call "facts Trumpty-Dumpty doesn't like."

Kamala Harris: So look, some people are describing what's been happening in recent months as absolute chaos. And of course I understand why. And it's certainly true of those tariffs. Tariffs that, as I predicted, are clearly inviting a recession.

There is no aborted fetus debris in the MMR vaccine, or in any vaccine at all. It is worth noting that the Catholic Church, one of the most staunch anti-abortion organizations in the world, has a formal policy that encourages all vaccinations.

40 Years ago Carl Sagan knew about Climate change and he was so aware of it's impact on Nature more than us we do right now.

Mike Waltz in 2021, fired today by Trump.

I'd read the phone book if Dylan Penningroth wrote it, but this is on a topic far more interesting:

Federal Court DISMISSES right wing lawsuit brought to force voter purges in Georgia. www.democracydocket.com/cases/georgi...

Judge Rodriguez, a Trump appointee, rules that the administration cannot use the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged members of TdA. It’s a wartime authority & we are not at war, he holds. On to the 5th Circuit & SCOTUS.

Big shoutout to Chicago! ✊ 👏

Cal-Maine, the biggest egg producer, has been accused of using bird flu as cover to jack up prices and triple its profits from a year ago. It also received $22M in federal aid. While you're getting gouged at the grocery store, your tax dollars are subsidizing corporate greed.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

Senator Angus King (I-ME) reaching to history to recall Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R-ME) and her 1950 stand against what she called "Republican Fascists." (King does not hold Chase's seat; Senator Susan Collins (R) does.)

Missed a spot

The Hill: Egg prices reached another record high last month. It now costs American shoppers an average of $6.23 for a dozen eggs — nearly a five-fold increase since 2020.

The economy is shrinking. Consumer confidence is plunging. Tariffs are unleashing chaos. A majority of Americans say their financial situation is getting worse. Odds of a recession are increasing, which would hurt working people the most. All because of Donald Trump.

On Good Friday, thousands of Amazon drivers went on strike at the company’s 41 delivery stations throughout Italy, jamming up goods delivery in the run-up to the busy Easter weekend.

The President is attacking me because I filed Articles of Impeachment, asking “What the hell did I do?” It's all in my seven articles of impeachment: 1. Defying a 9-0 Supreme Court ruling. 2. Dismantling federal agencies.

BREAKING Remember when we said NY AG Letitia James had the power to investigate Trump tariff-related stock market manipulation and insider trading? IT'S HAPPENING. James just confirmed an investigation has been opened.

This is Linda Martin. A few years ago, the FBI seized her life savings: $40,200. The kicker: She was never charged with a crime—and the government couldn’t tell her why it took her money. Martin is far from the first. But she is trying to make sure she is the last. A thread.

A remarkable exchange, but this cuts off an important last line: “We have lawyers who don’t want to do this.” The unitary executive is a bunch of unnamed lawyers in a trench coat

America Last

I wonder if they drew straws to see who got to edit the parliamentary website?

Jamie Raskin with the "We shall fight on the beaches..." energy that smart Dems are taking into the second 100 days. Whole (short!) statement is here, and worth reading: democrats-judiciary.house.gov/news/documen...
