Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia—

AOC: Wah wah wah.

We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no.

What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

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.

NEW: Carter Page, a ubiquitous figure in the Russiagate investigation, has reached a $1.25 million settlement with the Trump administration over his long-running lawsuit over illegal FISA surveillance.

One of the most telling pics of the year ... so far.

I Know the SPLC’s Flaws Better Than Most. This Investigation Still Looks Like a Witch Hunt. MAGA has wanted to take down the SPLC for years. Now it has the DOJ to try.

"...it was almost inevitable that a weaponized DOJ would try something like this. Discrediting the SPLC is a way of retroactively rehabilitating everyone the SPLC ever exposed."

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo

Shame on us.I think of the brave Afghans who stood alongside us against the Taliban, esp. those I worked with during my years in command of the NATO mission there. Incomprehensible that we wouldn't bring them to the US, fulfilling basic obligations of trust & honor. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/21/w...

How can the Democrats not like how the U.S. Supreme Court votes. The Democrat Justices stick together like glue, NEVER failing to wander from the warped and perverse policies, ideas, and cases put before them. They ALWAYS vote as a group, or BLOCK, even that new, Low IQ person, that somehow found her way to the bench (Sleepy Joe!). The Republican Justices don’t stick together, they give the Democrats win after win, like a 159 Billion Dollar pile of cash on a completely ridiculous Tariff decision, and nasty, one sided questions on the country destroying subject of Birthright Citizenship, something which virtually NO OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD IS STUPID ENOUGH TO ALLOW. It was meant for the babies of slaves, not for the babies of Chinese Billionaires. No, certain “Republican” Justices have just gone weak, stupid, and bad, completely violating what they “supposedly” stood for. Handing over 159 Billion Dollars in Tariff refunds to people who have been Ripping Off our Country for years, is unexplainable. One little sentence would have stoped this record setting payment from having to be made. It is a travesty! Their Tariff decision was an unnecessary and expensive slap in the face to the U.S.A., and a giant victory for its opponents. If they rule against our Country on Birthright Citizenship, which they probably will, it will be even worse, if that’s possible. It will cost America massive amounts of money but, more importantly, it will cost America its DIGNITY! No, the Radical Left Democrats don’t need to “Pack the Court,” it’s already Packed! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump refers to Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson as "that new, Low IQ person"

White supremacist propagandist Tucker Carlson says he’s sorry for the role he played in helping the orange felon acquire power and that it torments him.

Apology not accepted you treasonous hateful scumbag Russian agent. You don’t get to take any of it back, you own it forever.

Republicans define governing as going on Fox News and saying dumb stuff.

Trump’s nuclear chief walked into a bar and told a complete stranger about plans to assassinate Iran’s supreme leader. He also confirmed children have been killed. The stranger was a reporter. She was recording. This guy had access to your nuclear program.

Texas republicans illegally gerrymandered their maps and never once asked voters how they feel about it.

California and Virginia let voters decide.

That’s the difference. They started this fight and Democrats are going to fucking finish it.

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

At least 178 people have been killed in US airstrikes in the Caribbean and Pacific since September, according to a tally by the Washington Office on Latin America.

The US has provided no evidence that any of the vessels were involved in drug trafficking,

This is a batshit crazy post.

We’ve also gone from:

- Vance is going
- no he’s not
- yes he is

In a period of 3 hours. Incoherent psychobabble.

Translation:

This deal is about to be exactly like the JCPOA, minus Obama’s signature

The Infowars news is funny, yes. But more importantly, it is an outright rebuke of Alex Jones' evil.

It's testament to the strength and resilience of the Sandy Hook families who survived this bullshit for more than a decade as well as the Onion, which didn't give up on this for the last 18 months.

Trump will blow up the world before he admits what he did on that island.

Attorney General Todd Blanche admited that the DOJ excluded all images showing “death, physical abuse, or injury” from the Epstein files release.
DEATH? The truth is probably far worse than anyone can imagine. Blanche needs to be proescuted as well.

Oooohh … Melania is gonna be pissed to see the latest LEGO video, “Epstein Queen”!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Todd Blanche stated that he will go after the Convicted FElon's political enemies & we should be happy that it's out in the public. Also they will go after anyone who is against the Regime.
Todd Blanche is now more dangerous than Pam Bondi.

"Magyar wasn't engaging in a policy debate... His framing was Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are a criminal organization and we need to dismantle this... he connected the impact of the criminal organization to these rural Hungarians' experience."

@ambpressman.bsky.social on how Magyar beat Orbán.

This is ESSENTIAL framing. Hungary is the poorest EU country BECAUSE of the corruption. Our economy is stagnating and inflation remains high BECAUSE Trump is a criminal. And it WILL get worse because Trump has no bottom.

UNITED STATES U.S. Central Command * X.com @CENTCOM More than 10,000 U.S. Sailors, Marines, and Airmen along with over a dozen warships and dozens of aircraft are executing the mission to blockade ships entering and departing Iranian ports. During the first 24 hours, no ships made it past the U.S. blockade and 6 merchant vessels complied with direction from U.S. forces to turn around to re-enter an Iranian port on the Gulf of Oman.

The blockade is being enforced impartially against vessels of all nations entering or departing Iranian ports and coastal areas, including all Iranian ports on the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman. U.S. forces are supporting freedom of navigation for vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz to and from non-Iranian ports.

⚠️ CENTCOM claims it’s supporting “freedom of navigation” while enforcing a blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

More than 10,000 US service members are being put in harm’s way for this endeavor.

At Patel’s request or encouragement, NAF provided the Biden DOJ with substantial information that aided in identifying investigation targets and substantiating warrants and

prosecutions. 53 NAF alerted Patel to social media posts that made violent threats against clinics54 and concerns about protest activities that could constitute blockades in violation of the FACE Act. 55 In the Handy matter, Patel emailed NAF: “I can’t recall if you ever shared anything with me (either through an attachment or via Dropbox) about Jonathan Darnell’s arrest . . . If you did, can you resend that to me?” 56

53 See, e.g., E-mail from Patel, to Megan Healy (Nov. 16, 2020) (Exhibit 040) (“NAF is obtaining the security video from the vandalism for me.”). 54 E-mail from Patel, to Emma Goldberg (NAF) (Apr. 12, 2021) (Exhibit 041) (flagging that Patel forwarded the information to the FBI immediately and noting that he was “designated as the DOJ National FACE Act Task force director” and wanted to call about exploring outreach initiatives). 55 E-mail from Fleisher, to Patel (Aug. 18, 2020) (Exhibit 042) (responding to a NAF alert about Handy’s pro-life activities in Washington, D.C., a CRT attorney asked NAF to let him know “[i]f she actually ends up causing any obstruction,” and noted that while he could not speak for the Criminal Section, “we on the civil side might be interested in looking further”); E-mail from Davidson, to [Redacted], FBI (Jan. 30, 2021) (Exhibit 043) (alerting DOJ to Handy’s activities in Maryland). 56 E-mail from Patel, to Davidson (Dec. 8, 2020) (Exhibit 044).
