Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up.
The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning.
No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.
Happy Earth Day 2026 😀
I just signed a bill to rename Minnesota’s community solar program after Speaker Melissa Hortman.
Melissa was a true champion of solar and I was proud to sign this in honor of my dear friend.
France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.
Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars
The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.
Why aren't we doing this?
NBC is calling it now 💪
Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power:
“If the Democrats get additional seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”
I followed and reposting. Thank you.
Delta Air Lines had no trouble endorsing the Big Beautiful Bill, which gave ICE a blank check to terrorize Minnesota during Operation Metro Surge.
They flew Liam to an ICE concentration camp.
Now they want a million dollars to build a new lounge at MSP.

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history.
Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes.
But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year.
Trickle down hoax.
Since The Federal Government Failed To Break Up Monopolies After MaBell, Things Are Just Getting Worse. I Remember When No Company Was Allowed To Own More Then 10% Of Any Other Company, To Prevent Monopolies... Now We Have 1 Company Owning 400 Companies, Just Look At Disney, Google, META...
Schiff: What more will happen? You know, really, the sky’s the limit. We have to anticipate they could create some provocation at a polling place to create a pretext to call on the military or to seize ballot boxes. And we’re going to be prepared for whatever they throw our way…
Child: I know your name. Mamdani.
Obama: What’s his first name?

Y’all. Who did this?💀
Republicans are creating a national school voucher program that will leave public schools with less funding and abandon students with disabilities. Arizona already has school vouchers and we've seen the consequences. I'm fighting to give every kid a fair shot.
Corporate money has flooded our politics. You can't claim to represent working people while cashing checks from the big companies. That’s why I don't take a dime of corporate PAC money. Everyone in Congress should do the same.
TODAY: ICE agent charged with felony assault in MN, impeachment articles filed against Hegseth, Montana Supreme Court says the state constitution protects trans citizens, and the Saudis back out of Trump's LIV golf scheme. News with swearing: the-daily-beans.simplecast.com

The Fed can keep the financial plumbing working, but it can't fix a supply-side crisis. For the top 1%? Inflation's an inconvenience. For everyone else, it destroys savings, kills small businesses, and triggers the doom loop.

Patton Oswalt is going to read the third book in the Talisman trilogy. OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE will be out in October. I'm totally stoked that he agreed to do it. Spoiler alert: There's a character in the book who's a stand-up comedian. His name is...Payton Orville.
Coincidence? I think not.
Apple is closing its first unionized store in the country.
Reminder that Apple spent $700B+ on stock buybacks over the past decade.
CEO Tim Cook raked in over $74M in compensation in 2025 — 650 times the median Apple employee's pay.
The greed of union-busters knows no end.
You’re probably going to hear a lot about what the rich really pay in taxes today.
This chart tells the real story.
While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits.
Yes, $30 million per HOUR.
All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

Today in Politics, Bulletin 350. This was definitely the craziest day of the week by far. Here is everything that happened today. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...
“Over the past 15 months, the [Trump] administration laid off more than 7,500 Social Security employees, which worsened Americans' access to their earned benefits and gave DOGE free rein to pilfer their most sensitive data.” – Sen. Ron Wyden

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.
