Save the Pecos!
Save Oak Flat!

Stop foreign mining on our Public Lands!

Today we remember the horrific tragedy of the Columbine shooting. 27 years later, it is a disgrace that gun violence is still the leading cause of death for children in America.

H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,

Is that bad? Seems bad

Sarah Longwell: We are committing superpower suicide in real time. Trump is making China Great Again. Poll: People in *every single one* of the top US-allied countries now believe it’s better to depend on China than on the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

"Dear America" letters from people who work at the besieged US Department of Housing and Urban Development:

The United States is destroying itself | Rebecca Solnit The daily news can’t adequately convey the administration’s sabotaging of our government, economy, alliances and environment

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position?

RUSS VOUGHT: Yes

BOYLE: That's laughable!

Treasury is holding thousands of Epstein‑related financial records — including overseas payments from Epstein routed through Russian banks

Treasury refuses to release them to Congress

WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public'

IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated

W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

Tax Day is a reminder of America’s unequal tax system. But we can fix it | Zohran Mamdani, Gabriel Zucman and Joseph Stiglitz There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us

Someone is dying in ICE custody EVERY WEEK.

And that doesn't even include the American citizens ICE has killed in the middle of our streets in broad daylight.

It could not be more clear, ICE needs guardrails, not a blank check from Congress.

Opinion Editorial Board America’s income tax is progressive The rich already pay more than their fair share

Unbelievable stuff from the Washington Post on behalf of Jeff Bezos today.

Democrats Must Learn To Talk About National Defense American power brings with it an awesome responsibility.

“Trump has done and will continue to do considerable damage to America’s economic prospects with his tariffs, corruption, and evisceration of science and technology funding, and he has already deeply alienated America’s oldest and closest allies with his predilection for international gangsterism.”

Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina hinojosa speaks to a full house

Meanwhile, in Houston, gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa is talking about Greg Abbott trafficking people into Texas’s private prisons and detention centers so that his donors will profit, and I really appreciate her for it.

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

It's not a counterpunch, guys. The pope didn't throw a punch. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/u...

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

I sat on that very porch and interviewed the owner for this column share.inquirer.com/KmHX4i

Over 8 billion reasons to ditch fossil fuels in one photo.

OK, now do bribes.

Here he is tonight. Working hard to end his War in Iran and make life more affordable for Americans like he promised.

My husband died of pancreatic cancer, an absolutely terrible disease. RFK Jr. stopping trials for a VACCINE against this disease makes him personally responsible for everyone that dies from it from here on out. He does not deserve more dignity than those that will die from his actions.

Finally doing something about the affordability crisis.
