“A recent YouGov poll found Ocasio-Cortez had a +61 approval rating among Democrats — the highest of any Democrat polled who hasn't run for president or vice president.”

Looks like investors aren’t feeling great about that earnings report tomorrow.

The bad news seems never ending. But giving up is not an option. Protests are a visible encouragement to all who are fighting. And a warning to those who are not. Get your friends into the streets. #maydaystrong #yourweekinprotest www.fiftyfifty.one thepeopledissent.substack.com/p/a-map-of-p...

Vatican to announce its choice of a new Pope in a Signal group chat.

“This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly… a tragedy… what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!” -Pope Francis

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

quick question: why was noem carrying $3,000 in cash? was she just out selling drugs or something?

Andry Hernandez Romero, the Venezuelan makeup artist sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison, claimed asylum in the US because he was persecuted as a gay man. Chris Van Hollen met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Andry lived in San Diego—why hasn’t Alex Padilla or Adam Schiff met with him? 🤨

Joe Rogan explains to his audience why due process is important and quotes Ben Franklin — "it is better 100 guilty persons should escape than that one innocent person should suffer.” He argues against shipping people to a prison in El Salvador without trial because we think they’re gang members.

Nothing like the taste of your 88th birthday cake! Thank you, Bradder, for a wonderful celebration with friends and family today.

i’m getting van hollen pilled

In what way specifically is Italy a “great ally” of the US while the rest of Europe is not?

Today is Day 9. 0 deals.

Happy Easter, EVERYONE!! 👇 Seemed. Appropriate. Today. 😎✨

Sign of the day…

Only one of these men has a criminal conviction—and his name isn’t Kilmar Garcia!

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

anyone who writes about or talks about the ongoing impact of racism in the united states is accused of a "victim mentality," but this here is the actual victim mentality

at this point 2025 feels like being awake during surgery

NASHVILLE today…

WOW: Massive crowds in New York City right now for the 50501 National Day of Action against the Trump regime.

Charlie Angus never disappoints. Listen to our latest interview on the MeidasTouch Podcast! Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/77jj... Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

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.

FRANKLIN, TN today… www.facebook.com/share/r/1BGN...

Trump’s attack on higher education “was a call to action which has been answered by Harvard and .. 100 other schools .. It has also taught an important lesson: giving in to Trump’s attacks is not a sustainable strategy for any organization.” @jeffsonnenfeld.bsky.social time.com/7278903/harv...

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution. Our nation was founded on resistance to arbitrary authority and monarchical power. We built a democracy in the face of impossible odds. We must continue to protect it.

Grotesque. 🇺🇸

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dccartoonist.bsky.social )

Van Hollen: When I told him that his wife and family sent their love and were fighting for him to return home every day, he said that he was worried about all of you. He spoke several times about your 5-year-old son who has autism.

Put up or shut up time for the Supreme Court

Senator Van Hollen’s commitment to the Abrego Garcia case isn’t performative. Wearing an overnight maxi pad on your ear after an “assassination attempt” is performative.

BREAKING: A court ruled that our case challenging Rümeysa Öztürk's unlawful detention should move forward in Vermont, instead of Louisiana, and that ICE must transfer her there. Nobody should be shipped to a detention facility halfway across the country for writing an op-ed.

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

Congrats @bluesky on 35m !

Fox News has resorted to just straight up lying about Abrego Garcia, who has never been convicted or even charged with a crime
