Trump will reportedly end the IRS Direct File program that allowed taxpayers to file taxes for free. This comes after Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the government for years to block IRS free file. Intuit donated $1 million to Trump’s inauguration. See how this works?

It’s not the video games. Not the social media. It’s not the pot or the porn. It’s not that there are too many doors or too few police. It’s the gun the shooter was able to get. And it’s the gun the shooter was able to fire. It’s the gun. It’s the gun. It’s the motherfucking gun.

Zelensky: Trump’s envoy Witkoff is “spreading Russian narratives” about the war in Ukraine. Zelensky makes it very clear — Witkoff is not working in the interest of Ukraine. At the very least, he appears to be siding with Russia.

This is just plain crazy. Trump is focused on revenge, nothing else.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

Even if you (wrongly) believe that some immigrants lack due process rights, what’s to stop the government from claiming that you are an undocumented immigrant; removing you to El Salvador; citing an “administrative error”; and refusing to do anything to bring you back? The answer is due process.

Time to start impeachment proceedings. If the Supreme Court doesn’t matter, we do not have a working democracy. If we cozy up to an El Salvadoran thug, what are we?

“…members of the DOGE team asked that their activities not be logged on the system and then appeared to try to cover their tracks behind them, turning off monitoring tools and manually deleting records of their access…” What kind of shady s**t is going on here?? www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

The Sumy bombing shows how inept Trump is in protecting democracy globally. It also shows how his infatuation with Putin allows for Putin to murder innocents.

The US has completely derailed from reality. Despite Russia’s deadliest missile strike this year killing 35 civilians in Sumy — including children — the White House blocked a G7 statement condemning it. All to “keep talks with Moscow on track.” Disgraceful. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Either the U.S. government is able to exert monetary and diplomatic pressure on El Salvador sufficient to produce Abrego Garcia’s release, or it isn’t. The latter would be either a bald-faced lie or a pretty stunning concession of our national impotence. The Vice President should pick one.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

As Passover begins, I am reposting my open letter to Elon Musk. I wrote it in response to his attacks on me and his suggestion that I suffer from “generational trauma.” It has been the most viral piece I have ever written and I continue to be moved by the positive feedback. Thanks and Happy Pesach!

Trump says "talks are going well, Ukraine-Russia might be going 'ok' and you will be finding out pretty soon." Another nothingburger. Meanwhile: daily civilian deaths from FPVs, air-dropped bombs, Shaheds, missiles, and artillery.

“For electronics, at least, we’re now putting much higher tariffs on intermediate goods used in manufacturing than on final goods. This actually discourages manufacturing in the United States.”
