Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer.
Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul.
Oh well. Good job Virginia!!
President Trump’s social media company, which has consistently lost money and struggled with a flagging share price, announced Tuesday that it was replacing Devin Nunes as its chief executive officer. nyti.ms/3QjNBKh
while out of one of the many other sides of his mouth Trump is telling Iranians to work with him against their regime cause he’s got their backs
Peter Thiel:
“The basic idea was we could never win an election… because we were in such a small minority. But maybe you could actually unilaterally change the world without constantly having to convince people… through a technological means.…technology is this incredible alternative to politics.”
Have been wondering when candidates would start talking about this. One of the biggest corruption scandals is U.S. history playing out in real time.
No one will ever trust us again. In time of crisis, we will have no one who to whom we can turn, no one who will stand by our side. Day-in and day-out this administration betrays our allies and enables our enemies. It is perverse and nauseating.
Who should be the Democratic candidate in 2028?
Please take my poll. I'm curios to hear your thoughts. robertreich.substack.com/p/office-hours-who-shoul...
President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Federal Reserve, Kevin Warsh, vowed Tuesday the central bank would remain “strictly independent” if he’s confirmed, even as the president has broadcast his demand for lower interest rates, Ashley Murray reports. iowacapitaldispatch.com/2026/04/21/r...

I hate to admit it, but Benny Johnson is doing camp at levels heretofore unseen in American politics. J. Edgar wouldn't even do this in private.

In Jan 2010 ‘Citizens United was implemented & people were allowed to give unlimited amounts of money to politicians.
A huge percent comes from billionaires.
This is why we don’t have child care. health care - the basic needs of life that rich people easily access
This is horrific. I feel physically ill.

I cannot stress this enough: Vegas gave Musk millions to build us a supposed public transportation system. Instead he built basically an Uber tunnel for Teslas that only goes FROM ONE END OF A CONVENTION CENTER TO THE OTHER. Literally just gets you to the other side of a building.
Robert's “Shadow Docket" begs the question. How long can a democratic Republic with a Constitution, rule of Law and Bill of Right survive if it's highest court, SCOTUS, is politically compromised and blatantly corrupt? This all stems from The Heritage Foundation/Federalist Society/Citizens United.
Something reports on DOJ's withdrawal of subpoenas are missing: John Solomon, before he announced DiGenova's hiring but at a time he likely knew about it, said that DOJ was going to push for access to ALL Senate materials on RU, seemingly including SSCI report.

A draft dodger is arresting war veterans for protesting his illegal war with Iran. Remember in November.
It's all pretend. They do the exact same thing with guns. Kristi Noem was notorious for this.
People who are properly trained in administering violence do not flaunt it.
He just gave away the whole game
ICE’s Smart Glasses Are a Worst-Case Scenario
The DHS is reportedly developing its own smart glasses that it plans to couple with biometric databases and facial recognition.
Breaking MS NOW:
The Justice Department has begun withdrawing several subpoenas that had just been issued in the criminal probe of former CIA Director John Brennan — revealing the confusion and disorder within the controversial investigation.
Our call for questions is open for a couple more days — so you still have time to look at this & share something you have in mind (as a reply on here, or in the form below).
The My Lie massacre
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Warsh hearing so far has been kind of frustrating. No one has asked the questions that seem most relevant to me:
1) is Trump's criminal investigation into Powell appropriate?
2) what would you do if Trump threatened retribution against you if he didn't like your actions/Fed policy decisions?
The worst human beings in the country should not be running the country.
