Republicans are getting more brazen — in rhetoric and policy — in pushing teenage girls to give birth.
The good news is that it won't work. Girls aren't going to fall for it.
An analysis.

Dozens of American veterans and military family members were detained after they started protesting the Iran war inside a congressional office building in Washington D.C.
😁 🚨 They are Protesting. 👈 😁
At least 34 tankers linked to Iran, including vessels carrying crude oil, have successfully bypassed the U.S. blockade, per FT
Pressed by Laura Ingraham about "folks on the right" who want to see Barack Obama investigated, Acting AG Todd Blanche says "these investigations have to be done in secret"
It’s Earth Day. Republicans are using the House to try to gut the fundamental programs that protect our planet: the Endangered Species Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Clean Air Act.
We’re fighting for our lands, waters, and wildlife. And we won’t walk away from that legacy!
By turning Trump's own redistricting gamble against him, Virginia just changed the math on Congress.
I'm not a fan of the UK government but I support their decision to ban Valentina Gomez from UK soil.

Gov Abigail Spanberger (D-VA):
“I understand the urgency of winning congressional seats as a check on this President, and I look forward to campaigning with candidates across the Commonwealth working to earn Virginians’ trust — and their votes”
On a particularly maddening day in Congress, we heard the following:
“Sock puppets”
“Dirt bags”
“Rats penis”
“Whale heads”
Yet we heard precious little about authorizing war in Iran or reopening the Dept of Homeland Security

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democratic Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick of Florida resigns before House can sanction her in ethics investigation.
Amid rising jet fuel prices and lower demand from Canadians to travel to the U.S., airlines are cutting back on flights between the two countries.
I just finished writing my reflections on tonight's big win in Virginia. I've been fighting this fight for ten years, including three cases in SCOTUS. Tonight we won a big one at the ballot box.

Your government refusing to prosecute sexual predators, but protect them instead, only makes sense when you realize your government is being run by sexual predators.

Today is Tax Day.
This year, nearly every American will pay more in taxes — except for billionaires.
For 50 years, billionaires have bought politicians to rewrite the tax code in their favor. Here’s how:
Last week, I laid out a proposal to close billionaire tax loopholes — which would generate enough revenue to cover the gap from suspending federal fuel taxes (…plus a lot more). www.statesman.com/news/politic...
Today I’m proposing we suspend the federal gas and diesel taxes to give Americans some relief.
The people who started this war in Iran don’t have to worry about the price of gas every day. But we do.
Suspend the gas tax. Suspend the diesel tax. End the war in Iran.
Whereas Texas and Missouri didn't give voters a say in gerrymandering, Democrats in California and Virginia did give voters a say.
Everyone mad at Democrats for gerrymandering should support proportional representation...
There are two reasons I'm not mad at the Democrats about this.
1) The Republicans started it
2) The Democrats gave Virginia voters a chance to decide
“The EU’s highest court has found Hungary’s anti-LGBTQ+ law to be discriminatory, stigmatising and in breach of basic democratic values…”
This is a crucial decision. The court rejected the political claim that LGBTQ+ representation is “propaganda.” We must keep fighting politics that dehumanise us.
Trump’s biggest political weakness is that everything is binary. It’s win or lose
That’s ok when you’re fighting an election, but the art of government requires much more nuance, intelligence and compromise
Trump lacks all of these which is why the world is in its current state
If Nigel Farage does ever become Prime Minister, do you think the media will apply the same level of constant scrutiny and hatred to him as some parts do to Keir Starmer?
Democratic Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva, expected to be the decisive vote on the push to force a House vote to release the Epstein Files, reacts to House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries accusing Republicans of running a "Pedophile Protection Program."
