BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

I am old enough to know I'll never see the return the United States like it was when there was a modicum of self respect in serving one's country.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

This is North Carolina GOP trying to change election rules and results after all votes are counted twice. If this goes through, it will set such a dangerous precedent that no election results will be immune from tampering by politicized court decisions.

“Lesser Evil” is owned by the father of DOGE rat Edward Coristine. Do not buy this crap.

This is, in addition to very obviously denying people benefits and clearly excluding the vast majority of seniors, a violation of federal law on accessibility, especially since X requires users to log in and agree to the terms of service to see published content.

A democratic government that mistakenly sent someone to a foreign prison hellhole would try to fix the error by getting him back in the U.S. for a hearing. A fascist dictatorship that wants to kidnap people at will would leave its victim in the foreign hellhole and fight efforts to bring him back.

Even if you’re a leftist who sees corporate DEI as a con, or a conservative who sees it as the wrong way to address diversity, you should recognize that this has nothing to do with that. It’s powerful corporations aligning themselves with a fascist government, consolidating into a regime.

The "freight train" coming for the separation of church and state is receiving scant coverage. Before I left my job at POLITICO, I was heavily researching the case at the center of it all -- started in Oklahoma. Justice Barrett's good friend helped seed it, which I reported. I have more to share 👇

The chief for our Greenland base was fired for not being political. She is reported to have written: "I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the US administration discussed by Vice-President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik Space Base."

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Trump has been racking up some procedural "wins" at the Supreme Court and the answer for why is simple: John Roberts is a feckless coward. He's like a cop in Uvalde, cowering outside waiting for the shooting to stop, instead of doing his job. My latest in @thenation.com

Urgent! If you or someone you know was fired as a probationary employee and they are members of AFGE, the union needs you to fill this form out by 5pm today, April 10. They need the info for another lawsuit on your behalf. #AFGE

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

Trump: "We're letting people build their own power plants. A lot of them are being built with the AI and beyond the AI. Chips. We're letting them build their own power. Never been done before ... they'll sort of be their own power company. They couldn't believe it when I told them that."

In a firmly paywalled subscribers-only article, CNN reports Tulsi Gabbard, the Director of National Intelligence, voted in Hawaii last year after signing a sworn declaration of Texas residency and claiming a homestead exemption in that state. www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/p...

Yup. No matter how much the media isn't talking about it, the brokers know.
