Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private server or Pete Hegseth using the nuclear codes as his password on Pornhub, both parties have ignored our nation's security.

Donald Trump is going after small donor fundraising platforms that support progressive candidates, because he knows that while he might have the billionaires, we have the people on our side.

The thing is….pictures like this one existed decades ago. You’re telling me the FBI didn’t know about this activity? Yeah. Bullshit. People not only gave him a pass, but they concealed what they knew.

Trump’s executive action targeting ActBlue is a “brazen attack on democracy in America." Beware the erosion of the traditional separation between the White House and the Department of Justice. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

It’s time for accountability. When we get back to Congress next week, articles of impeachment need to be filed against Pete Hegseth.

Our Racist-in-Chief signed an EO calling for the dismantling of the Civil Rights Act. Congress may be passive but we are not. The showdown will be in the streets. If you haven't, sign up with a local action group or national effort like Indivisible or 50501. Tyrants must be overthrown.

Thank you, Trump voters. This should make America healthy again.

China has returned two Boeing jets, each valued at $55 million. With $69 million in tariffs applied, the cost per plane increased to $124 million. Orders for an additional 130 jets have been indefinitely suspended.

As we leave you tonight, we are energized to see pushback working. We will remain vigilant. The power of the people is stronger than the people in power.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

Looks like someone isn’t going to meet the criteria for “fully successful” on his end of year review. That’s going to be tough to have in his eOPF when we RIF. 🥴

JUST IN: The ACLU has added Andry Hernandez Romero, the openly gay barber/makeup artist, as lead plaintiff in its D.C.-based class action against the Alien Enemies Act. They say the US has "constructive custody" over those held in El Salvador. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NYT: One estimate finds that DOGE’s “firings, re-hirings, lost productivity and paid leave of thousands of workers” will actually COST taxpayers “upward of $135 billion this fiscal year.” @nytimes.com 🤡 www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

This is going to get very, very bad and the people responsible are first going to deny it’s happening and then claim they couldn’t have predicted how bad it got

Judge Hellerstein noted that no law authorizes the government “to hire a jail in a foreign country where people could be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment not allowable in United States jails.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

OTTAWA – Canadians say their relations with Washington are just as bad as ties with Moscow, according to polling that suggests an openness to improving links with China and especially Mexico.

JERUSALEM (AP) — Hours after Pope Francis’ death was announced, Israel’s Foreign Ministry posted a short message on X: “Rest in peace, Pope Francis. May his memory be a blessing.” Several hours later, it was deleted without explanation.

In an increasingly provocative world, many of us seek to manage our emotions. But instead of asking whether you’re overreacting, you might ask, Am I reacting as usefully as I can?

"The idea really picked up steam when Adolf Hitler first conferred a similar honor on German mothers of eight or more children in 1939, calling it the Cross of Honour of the German Mother."

"What is built on the basis of force, and not on the truth about the equal dignity of every human being, begins badly and will end badly.” —Pope Francis

Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

Palantir co-founder Joe Lonsdale RTd this thread, which says Trump shld act fast & “Fire people who can't be fired. Force them to litigate. Mass deport people who can't be deported. Force them to litigate. Cancel 100s of billions in funding that are not lawful to cancel & force them to litigate.” 1/

Who’s dumb enough to carry it around?

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil's wife gave birth to their child without him after ICE denied their request to let him be present. “This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer,” Dr. Abdalla said. “My son and I should not be navigating his first days on earth without Mahmoud."

In a move to change cultural attitudes about childbearing, the Trump administration may soon start bestowing mothers of six or more children a special medal. Here's a not-so-fun fact: This idea was popularized in Nazi Germany.

If Trump wants to onshore manufacturing jobs as he has repeatedly said, then there is no deal to be made. Tariffs need to be huge and in place for a decade. However, if he wants to use the tariffs as leverage to induce them to bribe him and his cronies, then there’s lots of wiggle room.

when this era is documented in history, the gaslighting of ghouls like miller will be a big part

Who needs Wikileaks when you have Pete Hegseth?

My god. A Columbia senior just revealed during Rep. Ro Khanna’s Town Hall that the Trump Administration has canceled over $400 million in federal research to fight cancer and Parkinson’s disease. This is absolutely insane.
