Peace Talks Day is off to a great start.
This was such an early and corrupt unconstitutional executive order. Jared is the Nepo Negotiator and Chief Grifter. Follow his money.

Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.
The president is currently trying to steal 10 BILLION DOLLARS from the American people and it’s not the main news story in the country… not even close
This Saturday may be the most embarrassing moment in the history of the White House press corps. I’ll be talking about this all week. Here are my thoughts today. Full show: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
Maddow: "Do we think our servicemen and women are in good hands? Do we think that there is care being taken in terms of what they're risking their lives for?"
Trump started an illegal war where 13 service members and many Iranian schoolgirls died
Gas and grocery prices are through the roof
We can’t afford to pay rent or buy health insurance
And ICE is killing people in the streets
Changes at the federal level are long overdue
Vote YES, Virginia
Virginia, don’t forget to vote YES tomorrow(4/21)!
What a debacle.
Trump’s inflation, the Iran war, plus strong Democratic recruits, are putting red-state Senate seats in play. Polls show Democrats tied or leading in four GOP-held seats: Maine, North Carolina, Ohio and Alaska, with Iowa and Texas cracking too. (NYT)

ProPublica obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing.

For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:
When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
Being anti-Netanyahu is not anti-Semitic. It’s anti-corruption, anti-genocide. It’s pro-peace.
BREAKING: The so called 'SAVE' Act has FAILED in the Senate and will not become law.
I wrote this piece on how in reality, this is the Voter Restriction Act to prevent women from voting. It is fascism and would have installed Trump as a permanent dictator. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-save-a...
The most morally corrupt DOJ in US history.
HAHA he’s the judge who asked the Mueller team if they had investigated Mike Flynn for treason and called Flynn a traitor hahahahaha
"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

Trump did this 👇🏽
The Tech Journalist Banned from Twitter for Criticizing Fascism, Palantir, & the Broligarchy
Palantir published a 22-part manifesto outlining its authoritarian agenda. The masks are off. It's time to purge America of these broligarchs.

“I’m the consumer. I paid higher prices because of Trump’s tariffs. Do I get a refund?”
“No.”
Heads they win, tails we lose.
Tucker Carlson: “I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.”
These veterans and family members aren't the enemy, Trump, his complete cabinet, and every republican who supports him are the enemy. An illegal war is in motion, 78% of this country is totally against it and yet it continues because Trump's party has no courage to stop him. Fucking cowards.
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.
This is what democracy looks like.
Thank you to all the protestors.

Just hours after war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu sanctimoniously scolded us about how Israel and the IDF respect other faiths.

120 VETERANS Who ACTUALLY KNOW the cost of war
They were detained today inside the Cannon House Rep Building
Protesting trump's WAR

Our great VETERANS who have fought WARS KNOW
DISGUSTING ⬇️⬇️
TOMORROW: Virginians will decide whether to approve a redistricting plan that could hand Democrats four more seats in Congress in 2026.
At stake in this months-long battle? Control of the U.S. House, the ability to check Trump and a broader fight against GOP map-drawing in battleground states.
