BREAKING: Secretary of the Navy John Phelan is OUT — effective immediately, according to the Pentagon.
SPLC Union Logo: Yesterday, the Department of Justice leveled outrageous allegations at the Southern Poverty Law Center. In so doing, they maligned the integrity of the SPLC workers who have labored tirelessly for decades to expose the dangerous cruelty of extremists and hate groups in the United States.
SPLC Union Logo: This work is punishing. It takes a toll on our health and on our safety. But we persist because we believe in our mission to advance justice for all, and we believe that investigating, naming, and alerting the American people to the activities of those who seek to harm our neighbors is a moral imperative and an essential public service.
Today our colleagues are facing abuse and harassment from the far-right figures emboldened by this attack. But we will not be deterred, we will not be intimidated, and we will continue to name racism, sexism, antisemitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and all hate for the blight that it is.
Below is a statement from the unionized workers of the Southern Poverty Law Center.
Unbelievable. A GOP judge in VA just blocked certification of the congressional map referendum, calling the whole process unconstitutional. Apparently, the voters’ will is optional now. 🙄
Counting on a swift appeal to fix this mess. ⚖️
Read it & weep-here we are.
Nothing new, yet still happening.

According to the Wall Street Journal, when an American jet was shot down over Iran and our service members needed to be rescued, Trump’s own aides made a deliberate decision to keep him out of the Situation Room. His impatience, they decided, was a liability they couldn’t afford.
When you learned about the Iran hostage crisis, did they teach you this part?
In November 1979, during the crisis, Black hostages and women were released first.
Ruhollah Khomeini said they were oppressed in the United States and not part of the power structure, so they weren’t seen as spies.
FRIENDS: Tomorrow is Election Day in Virginia! Polls are open from 6AM-7PM.

The company confirmed the billionaire's departure as the tech company's leader in a statement.
Trump: "Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help. I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL. They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger! President DJT"
Trump claims there are 1700 known Iranian sleeper cells in the US…So why has ICE been wasting all this time kidnapping Mexican nannies and gardeners?
On this day, in 1947, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier.
Here it is plain and simple: the SAVE America Act would end universal mail-in voting.
We’re fighting this at every turn and standing up for every American’s right to vote. NO on the SAVE Act.
If you paid taxes for 2025, you likely paid:
$124 — school lunch & nutrition programs
$49 — diplomacy to prevent wars
$19 — USPS
$19 — Federal Aviation Administration
$18 — national parks
and
$4,049 — weapons and war.
These priorities are hurting us all. We need change. #TaxDay
We just won our trial against Live Nation and Ticketmaster.
A jury ruled in our favor and is holding the companies responsible for their illegal monopoly that cost consumers millions of dollars.
This is a landmark victory to protect New Yorkers from harmful monopolies.
Wall Street is eternally optimistic ... until they're not.
🤣🤣🤣
I keep saying, as a Trump biographer, that this man holds deeply deranged beliefs—on almost every subject—he cannot be talked out of by experts, to the point that it can accurately be said that he lives in his own warped reality.
25th this man immediately.
WYDEN: Are you gonna recommend the US taxpayer pay Trump $10 billion?
BISIGNANO: I'm not rendering an opinion
WYDEN: Give me your opinion! You're ostensibly somebody who is supposed to be doing stuff
I’ve been a professional business journalist for over 30 yrs.
Saw the Nasdaq bubble of ~’96-‘99 and the housing/credit bubble of ~’05-‘08 up close.
And the market today seems more disconnected from reality & more unable to incorporate information rationally than ever before.
People really undersell the basic idea that Trump is just some yahoo moron who accidentally became president because he was born rich and used it to become famous, and then got really lucky.
Despite President Trump claiming the war is almost over, he is sending about 6,000 more troops.
There are already an estimated 50,000 U.S. soldiers in the Middle East, and a two-week ceasefire with Iran is set to expire April 22 unless a peace deal is reached. trib.al/r3anyhE
Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress.
We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.
Trump as Jesus.
Genuine question for practicing Christians of all denominations: Is it more troubling to you that (1) Trump posted this image of him as Jesus laying on hands to raise the dead or (2) he claims that it is “fake news” that he was depicted as Jesus when he thought he was depicted as a “doctor”?
Breaking News: Eric Swalwell, a Democrat from California, said he was resigning from the House in the wake of sexual assault allegations.
An absolutely baffling time to be an historian of apocalyptic thought. Like my man is just straight up doing Antichrist stuff and I am meant to be normal???
🤣
