May Day—Why We’re Rallying in Liberty, New York | Common Dreams ​Most of us are workers, and Trump 2.0 is the most anti-worker administration in living memory.

So, a day after this goes online Lori Chavez-DeRemer is out. I'm feeling newly empowered.

Howard Lutnick tells Canada ‘they suck’ and vows to wind back trade deal with US Fraught talks set to resume to end dispute that is costing America more than $1bn a month

Lutnick the Nudnik casts vulgar insults at Canadians and blames them for the US trade deficit. The nice northern neighbors decide to stay home. Trade deficit gets worse because they’re not visiting. Brilliant!

Colombia convenes climate ‘coalition of the willing’ to break global fossil fuel deadlock Santa Marta conference born out of frustration at Cop summits, where renewable progress has been stalled by major polluters

Wonderful that Colombia is hosting this meeting on phasing out fossil fuels, but disappointing that The Guardian refers to it as “a small developing country.” It’s roughly 2X the size of France. Would The Guardian refer to France as “a small developed country”?

REP. AMO: Do you believe hungry children should be fed?

VOUGHT: Yes, and they are.

Vought's budget aims to cut $1.4 billion in fruit and vegetable benefits for parents and young children, on top of the millions who are losing SNAP benefits due to the One Big Beautiful Bill.

You mean this signature?

I have a request.

Please send me any announcements from democratic politicians in the U.S. touting this major milestone.

April 13, 2026 On April 12, the day of Hungary’s parliamentary elections, the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) posted on social media that it was closely watching the election and stood firmly behind ...

Hungary’s Orbán was using government money to finance the Conservative Political Action Conference in the US.

CPAC was/is a foreign influence operation. Did it register with DOJ under the Foreign Agents Registration Act?

Asking for a friend.

Trump’s Humiliation in Orbán Defeat Stunner Is Only Just Beginning For Viktor Orbán’s epic loss in Hungary to have real meaning in America, Democrats and liberals need to proclaim themselves part of the global anti-authoritarian movement.

The massive Orban defeat should prompt Dems to align themselves more firmly with anti-fascist and pro-democracy forces abroad. There's a powerful link to be drawn between the celebrations in Budapest and the confrontations with ICE in Minneapolis. 1/

Is it just my over-active imagination, or does the guy Trump is healing in his idiotic Jesus meme strongly resemble Jeffrey Epstein?

Federal reserve reveals troubling reality about wealthy Americans — TheStreet The Federal Reserve has been tracking this data since 1989. It has never looked like this

“The top 1% of U.S. households held 31.7% of all household wealth in the third quarter of 2025, the highest share recorded since the Federal Reserve began tracking the data”

Where will the new neo-fash international HQ be? DC and Milei's Buenos Aires are strong contenders.

Support our campaign to oppose MAGA extremists

AI investment is fueled by an anti-labor agenda. The goal is to automate jobs away and dismantle unions in the process.

Tell your Congressional reps: legislate national AI-related safeguards to protect workers, consumers & the environment.

This story isn't irrelevant to the failure of JD's 21-hour supposed effort to negotiate with Iran.

Neo-Nazis have shut down the entire federal funding office for social and behavioral sciences so they can spread election, war, and health disinformation without accountability, and we have to suffer the final indignity of the tongue-in-cheek lie we might be able to debate them into decency

Trump promised his top officials pardons before he leaves office, according to the WSJ.

We knew he'd do this. But telling people ahead of time provides an incentive for them to break the law—including abusing power and grifting. Crime spree!

In his tirade against MAGA war critics, Trump blasted Alex Jones for calling Sandy Hook a hoax.

This seemed odd. So I went back and checked. At the time Trump hailed Jones as "amazing" and rebuffed demands that he denounce lies about the shooting.

Most racist president in my lifetime, and Nixon was elected the year I was born.

Hegseth knows deep down inside that he and other regime figures make great cartoon material.

This Madman Is Pulling Us to the Brink of Armageddon Trump’s genocidal threat against Iran is one of the most vile and dangerous things an American president has ever done.

THIS!!! 👇

www.thenation.com/article/poli...

This is not foreign policy, it’s a deranged mad man threatening to wipe out an entire country.

It's past time. The 25th Amendment must be invoked.

Last week, Trump requested a $1.5 TRILLION Pentagon budget.

Today, he's threatening that a "whole entire civilization will die tonight."
This is a madman on a killing spree.

Congress MUST NOT approve this tyrant's budget request.

This is really sick!

This would be a good time for: a.) STRATCOM commanders to read up on Nuremberg and prosecutions for obeying orders to commit war crimes; and b.) for cabinet members to reread the 25th Amendment and have each other on speed dial.
