Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

First Draft: Chuck Schumer's Gotta Go Mehdi on why the Senate minority leader is the wrong leader for this moment, when it comes to both Trump and Israel. Plus: can the new ceasefire in Lebanon hold? And what's happening over in Gaza?

"How can Democrats claim to be the party of change, going into the November midterms and then 2028, if they’re led by someone who always resists it?"

My case for the Dems chucking out Chuck Schumer, especially after his recent arms-to-Israel vote:

I keep periodically checking every social media platform because WHY IS NATASHA CLOUD NOT SIGNED SOMEWHERE YET and CAN SHE COME HERE??? #WNBA

Return to the Moon Follow the Artemis mission to bring humanity back to the Moon for the first time since Apollo.

YO SPACE NERDS: The Nova documentary Return to the Moon, which follows the recent NASA #Artemis mission, is live now on the PBS site (and should be on the app/channel/etc). Spread the word! Turns out we *can* have nice things, as long as they are in spaaaace www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/vi...

I do believe this is about the same way I felt last year after the draft. Confusion. Befuddlement. Curiosity.

I guess we'll see what happens. #WNBA

STOKED for Rori Harmon! Was selfishly hoping we'd grab her, but SO HAPPY SHE GOT PICKED UP. #WNBA

In Natalie we trust.

I see the Valkyries are going to the continue their trend of stressing me out during the draft. #WNBA

I AM VERY CONFUSED BY THAT TRADE. WHAT JUST HAPPENED. WHAT. #WNBA

OOOOOOOOOH HELL YEAH!!! Let me know if you wanna try to do a weekend game together sometime (weekdays are a bit tough)! It’s so fun and the excitement for the team is AMAZING to see! Chase Center was ROCKING last year! That’s so cool that your cousin got to do the stats!!

Kiah’s stat line hasn’t been great the last few years. Averages 1.1 points and 3.6 rebounds. I’m surprised we went after her with who is still unsigned. Alas. 🫩

However, Kayla Thornton staying here is GOOD (as long as she can rehab her ACL tear well).

THIS FREE AGENCY HAS BEEN A ROLLERCOASTER.

At least we re-signed KT. But WTF.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! #WNBA

#Artemis II 🚀

Following their successful splashdown, the Artemis II crew gathered for a group portrait in the well deck of the USS John P. Murtha, positioned in front of Integrity, the Orion spacecraft they personally named.

NASA astronaut Victor Glover, Artemis II pilot, left, and NASA astronaut Christina Koch, Artemis II mission specialist are seen sitting on a Navy MH-60 Seahawk from Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron (HSC) 23 on the flight deck of USS John P. Murtha after they and fellow crewmates CSA (Canadian Space Agency) astronaut Jeremy Hansen, Artemis II mission specialist, and NASA astronaut Reid Wiseman, Artemis II commander, were extracted from their Orion spacecraft after splashdown, Friday, April 10, 2026, in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California. NASA’s Artemis II mission took the quartet on a nearly 10-day journey around the Moon and back to Earth. Following a splashdown at 5:07 p.m. PDT (8:07 p.m. EDT), NASA, U.S. Navy, and U.S. Air Force teams are working to bring the Orion spacecraft aboard the recovery ship. Image Credit: NASA/Bill Ingalls

Of all of the post-splashdown photos from the Artemis II mission, this is my favorite.

It captures the best of who we are, the best of who we can be.

Rickea Jackson headed to Chicago? Hasn’t she been through enough this year???? #WNBA

I wonder if JD Vance regrets killing Pope Francis now that Pope Chicago is in charge

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

Impeach and remove Trump, then immediately impeach and remove this guy, and keep on going.

My latest story is up! The components required for DNA and RNA are all present on asteroid Ryugu, which lends strong support to the hypothesis that the raw ingredients for life were present before the Sun even formed. A very fun and fascinating tale!

OH. MY. GOD.

THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!

Alarmed by President Trump's threat to eliminate a whole civilization" in Iran on Tuesday, more than a quarter of congressional Democrats have called for Trump's removal from office, either through impeachment or by his cabinet stripping him of power through the 25th Amendment. Many raised concerns about the president's soundness of mind and said his post to social media threatening widespread civilian destruction was evidence that he was not mentally fit to hold office.

It should be 100%

He’s still gotta fuckin go. Dems CANNOT let him off the hook here.
