Amazing how every Trump rally gets wall-to-wall coverage — but when 36,000 people show up to protest him with Bernie and AOC, it barely makes a headline. We get endless diner stories about ‘forgotten’ Trump voters. Where are the stories of Americans left behind by the GOP?

The so-called Defense Secretary has ordered 400 books removed from the Naval Academy library. This outrageous ban includes works about Slavery and the Holocaust, but not a book written by Adolf Hitler. The effort to whitewash our history must be reversed and Pete Hegseth fired IMMEDIATELY.

Republican leadership told their members not to host town hall. That’s not right. I’m hosting a town hall in Pontiac — right on the border of my district and Rep. Darin LaHood’s — so everyone can be heard. See you there: forms.gle/HKcGGHnx8Kpb...

Total federal spending is up +8% in 2025 year-to-date on April 9 over 2024. The illusion that the fed govt is tightening its belt is contradicted by its own real-time expenditure data. Admin spectacularly hammering some things but raising spending elsewhere. Was -7% just after Inauguration Day.

It is very bad that one of our two parties has so fully collapsed into far right authoritarianism that it no longer cares about basic governance, & all of our other societal institutions, especially the media, should stop pretending otherwise.

Something @deanbaker13.bsky.social and @mcopelov.bsky.social have pointed out recently: Every inflation report under Biden with CPI or PCE above 2.0% was painted as a huge political liability for the Democrats. Same numbers under Trump? Suddenly not a problem. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/b...

It feels like a significant amount of quality news outlets are behind paywalls while absolutely none of the inflammatory right-wing ones are and in an age of overwhelming misinformation combined with increasingly poor media literacy I just have… no idea what we’re supposed to do about that.
