Florida Democrat Resigns From Congress Just as Panel Weighs Expelling Her

Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, the Florida Democrat charged with embezzling $5 million in FEMA money, announces resignation just minutes before the House Ethics Committee was to vote on whether to recommend that the House expel her. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/u...

Well Ron’s wife & manager Caseys legal troubles make her implausible as the next Gov. of Florida. Since $10 million of a Medicaid settlement was funneled directly into Casey Desantis’ charity The hope Florida Foundation. Ron may have bribed Dementia Don for AG or Sec DOD w/ land in Fl for library.

At the moment…🧐

BALDWIN: Will you use the CDC's wastewater monitoring program to track the use of mifepristone?

RFK Jr: I have no plans to do that at the moment

BALDWIN: Do you think NIH should fund less cancer research?

RFK Jr: No, they should fund more, & one of the few agencies that got a raise in the budget was NCI

B: That increase is less than $1m for an institute with a $7b budget. That's a .01% increase. It wouldn't even cover one additional grant

PATTY MURRAY: What happened to childcare in this budget?

RFK Jr: Ok, let's talk about childcare then instead of the war

MURRAY: Just so it's clear, the president is requesting $1.5t in defense which cuts our non-defense incredibly

RFK Jr: It's not my department

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has signed an executive order banning state employees from using insider info to bet on prediction market apps like Kalshi and Polymarket, warning the unregulated boom “opens the door to insider trading and abuse.”

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

Hey everybody! I am taking the helm of this classic American institution with @theonion.com and want to know what you fine folks would like to see from us.

Donald, after being told Air Force personnel were missing in Iran, had a freakout that got him excluded from an important briefing. He was't worried about the missing pilots. No, he only cared that a failed operation would hurt HIS POLL NUMBERS, as it had Jimmy Carter's. What a self-absorbed prick.

Today’s order concluding Illinois v. Trump confirms what's been clear to the people of our state from the beginning:

Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to occupy our streets was a reckless and illegal abuse of power.

It’s adorable that the widely ridiculed doofus Kash Patel is working under the quaint misapprehension that his already ruined reputation can still be destroyed.

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

This is very good

The new report on FBI Director Kash Patel cites more than TWO DOZEN sources describing his leadership as a “management failure” and national security risk.

The White House and DOJ didn’t deny the allegations, but deflected.

Patel was the only one who issued a direct rebuttal.

That speaks volumes.
