Anyone else watching the CA gubernatorial debate? Xavier Becerra is doing really well.

We have heard nothing from Pam Bondi or her legal team. She didn't show up for her scheduled deposition, and half of the Epstein files are still unreleased.

We are left with no choice. Contempt charges are coming.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

HUGE WIN! H.R. 1897 the bill that would have gutted Endangered Species Act protections for threatened and endangered species has been pulled from today’s House floor vote. Your calls and pressure worked. Thank you for speaking up.

That’s pretty much the cult line. All he’s got left are people who will drink the kool-aid if the order was posted on Truth Social.

GOP CAUGHT After SHADY Epstein Move SPARKS BACKLASH YouTube video by Katie Phang

House Oversight Republicans are trying to dodge efforts by Democrats like @robertgarcia.house.gov to continue to achieve transparency on the Epstein Files.

I detail the latest shady moves by the GOP & how it’ll all come back to bite them in the ass.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

The most accurate indicator that something bad is about to happen.

We are currently in the 3-5 day pause on the 14 day extension of the initial 48 hour hard deadline for the ceasefire.

Navy secretary is out The Pentagon announced John Phelan's surprise departure without citing a reason.

Navy Secretary John Phelan is leaving the service’s top civilian post immediately, the Pentagon announced, a surprise departure that comes just over a year into his tenure.

Personally I think it’s bad for our country that the President is insane and screams it was rigged every time his side loses an election.

The Case That Could End The Citizens United Era The biggest battle against corruption is unfolding inside a little-noticed case weaponizing Citizens United’s own precedents.

In the last election, "One in every $5 flowing through a super PAC came from organizations that do not disclose their donors."

But a new legal battle stemming from a Maine lawsuit may change how dark money influences our electoral system. Via @levernews.com: www.levernews.com/the-case-tha...

Another close call at another airport. You know, the right relentlessly hammered Pete Buttigieg about stuff like this when he was in office, saying he was inexperienced and a DEI hire.

But now…..crickets. Nothing about the real world guy.

There seems to be a dispute on this.

"He did not invent gerrymandering, but he stripped away its last remaining illusions and norms. What had once been a quiet, technical exercise became an explicit strategy: redraw the map, lock in power, dare the other side to complain...'

What is May Day Strong, the ‘no work, no school, no shopping’ protests against Trump? Day of action to support workers set for 1 May – who is organizing May Day Strong, and how can people join?

A single-day protest on May 1 is taking its cue from the massive day of action that shut down Minneapolis in January by asking Americans not to shop, work or go to school

PabloReports: What do you make of Stephen Miller and Tom Homan asking for all this money but then refusing to show up to the hearing today?

Frost: That’s what happens when you have a lapdog as speaker.

The President and his Administration have already failed twice in court trying to intimidate me, and he's still not letting up. Just more proof that he'll do anything it takes to silence those of us willing to call him out. I'm not backing down — ever.

They're not even trying to hide it anymore...

BREAKING: Secretary of the Navy John Phelan is OUT — effective immediately, according to the Pentagon.

Great to see them putting women right at the front of sport …

Bondi needs to be held accountable!

I've seen a lot of references online to a "J. Edgar Boozer" and although I'm not saying anyone in particular deserves that appellation, I do think it would be the perfect name for someone serving as head of the Federal Bureau of Intoxication, if there were such a thing, which I'm not saying there is

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

Spain launches €7bn housing plan to tackle rent crisis Spain's government on Tuesday approved a sweeping plan to alleviate the country's housing problem, one of Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez's main political vulnerabilities ahead of next year's elections.

Well done Spain.
"The new plan, worth €7 billion, triples government investment in public housing over the next four years. It ensures that subsidised housing cannot be reclassified after a few years. It also includes help for young renters and home buyers"

Any "extraordinarily brilliant person" would know his presidency is in free-fall after his disastrous decision to enter another endless war-of-choice in the Middle East & that on November 3rd accountability is coming for the most corrupt criminal Administration in U.S. History.
