Marilyn Monroe, born 99 years ago today. When Ella Fitzgerald couldn’t get booked at the Mocambo Club because she was Black, Monroe (at the height of her own fame) called the owner and told him if he booked Ella, she would take a front table every night. And she did. #RIP

Happy b’day “When Doves Cry” — released 41 yrs ago today. On his last night of mixing, Prince started removing instrument tracks, said engineer Peggy McCreary. “The last thing he did was he punched that bass out. He smiled at me and said, ‘Ain’t nobody gonna believe I’d do this.’ And he did.” 🕊️

1. As many people learned this morning, the National Park Service prohibits swimming and wading in the water in Rock Creek due to oil, heavy metals, pesticides, pet waste, and raw sewage in the water.

From Jeffrey Toobin's 2008 book THE NINE, this remains the greatest Justice Souter anecdote I can possibly share. RIP.

Great job by the Utah NHL franchise picking a cool name and an awesome logo #utahmammoth #mammoth #nhl

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

Right after the Knicks eliminated the Pistons, Mike Breen interviewed Mikal Bridges. Bridges: We built for this shit. That's all it is. Breen: Now watch your --. Bridges: Sorry. Sorry. But we built for it. That's all it was.

FLAG: Kash Patel says the FBI has arrested Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan and charged her with obstructing an immigration operation. It's the first known instance in Trump's second term of DOJ prosecuting a local official for allegedly interfering with immigration enforcement.

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...

•••••BREAKING••••• Classified information Pete Hegseth shared with wife, brother, and personal lawyer came directly from top general's secure messages. Details outlined in thread below:

@chrislhayes.bsky.social: "The United States government quite literally disappeared these people. It won't say where they are. We don't know. Their families do not know where they are. And they have essentially no recourse in U.S. courts because there are no records of their whereabouts."

Tesla is COLLAPSING, Q1 net income down 71%. That is not a typo.

I filmed this yesterday on my way to Lousiana where my constituent Rümeysa Öztürk is being wrongfully held by ICE. I’m there now demanding her release. More to come.

Okay Markwayne.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social you could’ve gone the way of Senator Van Hollen. Alas…

I actually can’t believe this but I’m thrilled and relieved, to say the least. Thank you, @vanhollen.senate.gov Wow.

What the hell is Riley Gaines doing at a press conference with Pam Bondi?

Please, everyone, share this everywhere!

BREAKING: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez has been released. This is the moment he reunited with his mom.

🚨A U.S. born citizen was arrested in Florida for entering the state as an “unauthorized alien.” His mother and a community advocate showed his birth certificate during a hearing in Leon County. The judge said she had no authority to release him.

On reddit, a user on the r/USCIS subreddit says a friend of theirs is detained at Eloy (an ICE detention center in Arizona) and is looking for help. Buried in the post is a claim that there's been a recent death there that ICE is covering up. Unleashing this one on the border reporters.
