Gov. Bill Lee signed a resolution defining family as a man, a woman, and their children, a move critics say targets LGBTQ+ households.
I am a gay dad and this is FUCKED UP
Why Senator Obama, 2005, voted against John Roberts
BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market.
Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, a $760 million bet that oil would go down.
These orders were much larger than anything else at the time.
Unusual.
that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury...

Lutnick: "The worst thing is the sucking sound of how many people try to suck off of the US government."
(Is he serious with this? He's projecting, right?! Who actually IS doing the sucking...? 🙄)
A federal judge in Illinois today ruled that the Trump administration improperly coerced Facebook and Apple to remove ICE-tracking apps in violation of the First Amendment. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
I am so grateful to these AGs for pursuing this.
While Trump ensues his distractions, the regime hands $20B Mega-Deal to company backed by Jared Kushner’s war profiteer brother.
They are all profiting from this war. 🤬

Scott Bessent went out in front of the press & recommended people change their W4s so they have less fed $ withheld from their paychecks. His intent is to juice the economy before the midterms. What he’s not saying is that people that do this will not be prepared for what they owe on Tax Day 2026

Iran has a military budget of $10 billion
Pentagon is asking for $200 billion on top of $1 TRILLION to fight Iran

November is going to be a landslide
Now is the time to make your plan to vote, and to volunteer to work the polls if you're able
I’m so excited about this. I hope people keep starting newsrooms. There’s appetite for the truth.
No wonder Trump, Vance and every MAGA in Congress was throwing support behind Hungary’s dictator Viktor Orban.
Orban was the reason CPAC existed. He was funneling Hungarians money to the organization.
Peter Magyar, their new PM, is putting an end to the payments‼️
👏👏👏👏👏👏

APRIL 16, 1862: COMPENSATED EMANCIPATION ACT
The federal government compensated the “owners” of enslaved people for their “loss of property.” The people were robbed for generations were not compensated nor given any assistance for the transition to freedom.
Fed's Miran: There is no reason to believe the cooling trend in labor is not continuing.

Barrera said her husband said the smell of human feces in the toilet caused a fellow detainee to vomit and, in turn, created a chain of people vomiting. She said her husband is asthmatic and has not received medication to treat his condition. The lack of medicine and the stress of the overcrowded holding cell has left him short of breath and teetering on the edge of an asthma attack, Barrera said. ICE did not immediately respond to questions on April 10 about the conditions of the Mesa or Phoenix facilities. After the publication of this article, Barrera told The Arizona Republic her husband was transferred to the ICE facility at San Luis Regional Detention Center at about midnight. The San Luis Regional Detention Center is in Southwestern Arizona and has the capacity to hold 700 people.
This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.
And not one billionaire has left. Literally no one left NYC.
Maddow: "Amid all of this insanity it may be a good time to remember that this kind of desperation from the White House and from the president is palpably driven by fear."
NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health.
'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:
Busy day for House-cleaning, but more to do, more to do.
