AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal—convicted on 34 felony counts of fraud. He is lying, and he is manipulating the stock market too. At his best, he enriches himself, the billionaires who back him, and the members of Congress who trade with him. Not you. Not me. Not the people.

2024 Town hall Question: How do people go to Congress and become multimillionaires.. Greene: I do not know. I haven’t found that money tree up there.. that they all seem to have.. Pelosi supposedly has some great stock tips

NEW: The Trump administration, via a senior State Department official, says Kilmar Abrego Garcia is alive in El Salvador's notorious CECOT prison. But they still won't say if they're doing anything to get him back. Details w/ @joshgerstein www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

I propose swapping the man mistakenly deported to El Salvador with the man mistakenly elected president of the United States

There was so much music going on, I had to hop on the set 🥁

Make it make sense

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

The war in Ukraine is now largely being fought with drones. Ukraine made 2 million last year. Drone makers churn them out in factories and mom-and-pop operations like one in a Kyiv basement apartment.

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

"The president is no longer bound by law, but he is protected by laws. The same laws that now permit him to, say, instruct Seal Team Six to assassinate the chief justice, also provide for him to complete his presidential term."

Trump just denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it “unwarranted.”

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

Frost: I come from Florida. See, Project 2025 is Florida 2024. We’ve seen this, but we also know how to deal with it. When they disappear, a college student, you take to the streets. When they steal your Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid, you take to the streets.

Hernandez: This administration wants you to believe that the reason you can't buy eggs is because of your immigrant neighbor, they want you to blame trans folks for your troubles, blame unhoused people for the housing crisis. You know what I say to that? Bullshit.

Hernandez: Why is there always money to bomb children in Gaza, but not enough to make sure every kid has a safe place to sleep in this country. We don't have a budget crisis. We have a crisis of our values

Gomez: They got a simple plan defund, defraud, and lie. They're gonna defund Social Security, Medicaid, education, anything that helps the man and woman who's trying to get by to put food on the table or to pay rent. And then they're going to lie about it.

Epic Trolling by The Chinese Embassy. 🔥

Admittedly, I think Al Green has already filed articles of impeachment. But otherwise, WSJ has most of the Dem caucus beat. www.wsj.com/opinion/trum...

Exactly

Three-dimensional chess

When Rubio announced the agreement with El Salvador in February he touted it as a way to outsourcing the federal prison system by allowing the US to send American citizen inmates there to serve their . This undercuts the Trump administration’s claim to the courts that it can’t get people back.

Some northern neighbors predict their deep freeze on spending in America could last as long as Donald Trump is in office. Tour buses to NYC are being canceled. Cross-border day trips for shopping are thinning out. And travel agencies are seeing a steep drop-off,too www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Lutnick: “We’ll make phones in 🇺🇸” Days later: *Trump exempts phones*

Supreme Court UNANIMOUSLY Orders Trump Administration to Return Abrego Garcia To The US! youtu.be/UILgyKjZYN4?...

Trump surrenders again.

The dream is dead

Tim Apple made the call

This week the system worked. Donald Trump blinked. The unwinding is still just beginning. It will be painful and tumultuous. A grief-filled fight lies ahead over whether his trade actions have even been legal and constitutional.

Trump caved again. NEW: Smartphones, computers, semiconductors, solar cells, flat-panel TV displays, and other electronic devices and components will be exempt from Donald Trump’s 145% tariff on goods from China-CNBC

WSJ Editorial page welcome to the resistance?

More lost American business; more lost American jobs.

If God controls the climate, then doesn't God also control the border? So shouldn't we just let whatever happens happen?

Nothing will ever match the cruelty of the first Trump Administration’s child separation policy, but they’re really trying hard to match it in their second term with these deportations.

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.

@booker.senate.gov: "For a guy who spends the weekend on his golf course and brags to the media about him winning a tournament while the struggling-- this is the kind of gross arrogance of a Marie Antoinette saying, "let them eat cake" ... Screw him for telling people to accept pain."

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." - President Lyndon B. Johnson
