One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

“I’ve never missed a court appearance. I’ve never missed an appointment with immigration or ICE,” Daboin Rall said. “The truth is: I don’t have any criminal record. I’ve done everything correctly according to the rules of this country.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

Jake Tapper: "One 60 Minutes source tells me, 'The lawsuit was baseless. Bill Owens wouldn't apologize. He wouldn't bend. He fought for the broadcast and for independent journalism and that cost him his job. It's shameful.'"

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 US Navy's new Director of Communications, Kristina Wong, is a Jan 6 terrorist and an anti-Ukraine, pro-Kremlin mouthpiece. Likely an unregistered foreign agent (spy).

I don't think it gets more Second Gilded Age than this.

"'She’s a very talented scientist with huge potential … the capacity to be the best of the best,' he said..." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."

You’re going to keep hearing stories like this—because Trump doesn’t GAF about these folks. WAKE UP! “We have a quarter million dollars in inventory stuck in China… we don’t have $400K to pay the tariffs… so we had to freeze all shipments… and let go of most of our people already this year.”

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Powerful.

FUCK. THIS. All of this.

NASA FIRMS (fire map) confirms a huge fire at the military arsenal in Vladimir region of Russia. It looks like almost the whole arsenal is on fire.

RFK Jr. is launching a government registry to track autistic Americans using private medical records.

“'We went from putting things together in a basement to a 19,000-square-foot facility, doing exactly what we’re supposed to do here in the U.S., and it’s all in danger of coming apart because of this problem,' he said..." ohiocapitaljournal.com/briefs/trump...

"If any other corporation faced a similar image problem, the board of directors might have stepped in to switch out the CEO..." www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

Very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very bad.

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.

Referring to Trump 2.0, Palantir co-founder Peter Thiel recently said that he’s the “most hopeful about things” that he’s been “in a long time” bc “the opposition is completely exhausted” & whereas Trump 1.0 “got blocked on every level,” this time is different & will be Trump’s “real 1st term.” 1/

Russian propagandist Simonyan: We don't want what's not ours. It has always been like that. We will take what's ours, our Russian territories. Those lands where people of our culture, our history, our language live, who want to live with us. We will take away everything where we are welcome."

And they Blamed Trump while pleading Guilty.

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

A bizarre turn of events in the AEA cases, with Pres Bukele now saying he'll send all the prisoners back to the US if Venezuela releases a commensurate number of prisoners, including opposition members. Underscores how easy release is but also injects a new political angle to the whole mess.

In the darkest times, there is cause for hope. May we find strength in each other and our shared belief that a better world is possible. Wishing everyone celebrating a blessed Easter.

Senior US District Judge David Ezra, a Reagan appointee, called out a GOP Rep. for threatening to impeach judges. “Do I think what I’ve said today may well cause ... a declaration of impeachment against me? Maybe. Bring it on. I’m more than happy.” Read on: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/massive-an...

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

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.

The American people get it, their combined voice is getting louder & louder, showing up as often as needed sends a clear message…

WATCH — @carolecadwalla.bsky.social : “The Russian and American presidents are now speaking the same words. Telling the same lies. We are watching the collapse of the international world order in real time… it is already later than we think.”

💯 this!!!

Won’t believe who the WH is hell bent of telling us is a criminal, no place is the USA‼️‼️

Dark Ferris Bueller.

Democratic Governor Tony Evers has successfully increased school funding for the next 400 YEARS in Wisconsin by crossing out a few numbers in a bill to change it from “2024–25” to “2425.” The state Supreme Court just upheld his right to do so.

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

Corporate sponsors for the usually apolitical event held on the White House South Lawn include tech giants Meta, YouTube and Amazon.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "This is the cornerstone of what makes America, America. To defy a federal judge's order... The Founding Fathers did not live and die for this moment. If you want this democratic republic to survive, that has to be called out with clarity and conviction." [email protected]
