The Trump administration is kicking 150,000 Illinoisans off of SNAP on May 1.
He's ripping away help from Illinoisans as the cost of their groceries, gas, and utilities continues to rise.

I hope blue states sue and subpoena the CDC for this report. Their constituents deserve to have what is literally life saving information being held back by Trump's barbaric extremists.
Decision Desk HQ projects the VA Congressional Redistricting Referendum will Pass.
While No currently has the lead, based on the location and size of the remaining vote, Yes will take the lead as soon as the remaining counties report.

The Supreme Court’s “shadow docket” was never meant to be used to issue fast, often unexplained rulings without full briefing or argument.
This is a fixable problem, one I’ve already drafted legislation to bring transparency and accountability to the Court. Now it’s time to bring it to the floor.
Hopefully there will be sanctions against him and his attorneys for filing a frivolous lawsuit. Enough of this abuse of the judicial system!!
With 3 more Justice Alito recusals today due to his (more likely his wife's, but either counts) investments, **31% of all of SCOTUS's OT25 recusals (16 of 52)** are due to the Alitos' stock ownership docs.google.com/spreadsheets....
Justices and their spouses should not own individual stocks.
If the corporate media weren't so damn incompetent, they could just look back over the last 6 Sunday's and see what Axios dutifully reports every fuc&ing time. It's a goddamn market manipulation every Sunday night. It's embarrassing how bad the media is. @cnn @nytimes @washingtonpost.com
Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Glad to read that things are okay, and sorry that you had to deal with any sort of emergency.
One would hope that the next administration, with a normal DoJ, will pursue fraud charges for any settlement between him and any agency under his control.

Perfect for the heretical “Christian” that he has proven himself to be. Get thee behind me, Satan.

JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court:
A jury has ruled that Live Nation-Ticketmaster is an illegal monopoly.
A judge will determine whether or not to break the company up, in addition to other damages.
This is a big deal.
Remember that the Trump admin tried to settle the lawsuit with a slap on the wrist — but state AGs said no way.

So true, but sadly the 25th Amendment is not the solution so many want to think it is. After numerous steps over many days, it would ultimately take 2/3 of both houses of Congress to remove him, which is more difficult than what is required to impeach and remove him.
In case you’d like to let the Assemblyman know that this is a very bad look, not to mention entirely delusional that nearly 480,000 votes were from voter fraud, his office number is 908-238-0251
Poster child for complete waste of space. America is done with pathetic man-children MAGAts like this.
It's also disgusting. We have a political party obsessed with lies and ignorance, which is destroying the lives of millions of people worldwide in pursuit of their ignorant, uninformed world view. A pox on all of them.
Thank you, Canada, for the service of Colonel Jeremy Hansen. NASA couldn't have carried out this mission without his expertise and professionalism. He's yet another example of how our northern neighbors and friends honor us with their excellence and grace.
Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal.
Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November.
It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).
