Good!

Earth Day reminder that Trump’s EPA rolled back regulations governing clean air, water, wildlife, and toxic chemicals.

He’s pushed to open public lands to drilling and mining.

And he’s gutted clean energy programs while promoting dirty fossil fuels.

He’s a danger to our planet and our health.

Thirteen U.S. troops died trying to get these people to safety — Afghan interpreters, soldiers, and the families of our service members. Veterans spent sleepless nights during the chaotic withdrawal fighting to keep them alive. Now our own government is going to abandon them.

This is obscene

Republicans in US Senate unveil road map for 3 years of immigration crackdown • Oregon Capital Chronicle WASHINGTON — Republican leaders in Congress appeared to be on the same page Tuesday about how to fund immigration activities for the next three years as they released a party-line measure that will…

Oregon Democratic Sen. Jeff Merkley, ranking member on the panel, wrote that “Republicans are hellbent on passing another bill to provide even more funds to ICE and (Customs and Border Protection) — agencies that were already funded at multiple times their former budget last year!”

The problem isn’t that he’s fired the women. The problem is that he hasn’t fired the men. lnk.thebulwark.com/4n1afn3

Federal judge calls RFK Jr. an “unsafe” leader in order protecting trans youth health care The broad ruling was designed to deflect future attacks on gender-affirming care for kids.

NEW: In a scathing ruling describing RFK Jr. as an “unserious” and “unsafe” leader, a federal judge in Oregon issued an order that will protect doctors and hospitals, and the transgender kids they treat.

This list feels stale. How about John Ossoff, James Talarico, or Josh Shapiro and I’d love to have Pete Buttigieg as President.

Federal judge calls RFK Jr. an “unsafe” leader in order protecting trans youth health care The broad ruling was designed to deflect future attacks on gender-affirming care for kids.

“Unserious leaders are unsafe." Kennedy’s actions “caused chaos and terror for all those people and institutions of our great nation.”

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement. Someone keeps making perfectly-timed bets right before the President speaks. The victims are your pension, your 401(k), and the country I took an oath to defend.

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.

BREAKING: DOJ announces charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center based on allegations of paid informants in an indictment in the Middle District of Alabama.

"This investigation is very much ongoing," FBI Director Kash Patel said.

Trump fought to keep the ballroom fundraising contract secret. Here’s what’s in it. The agreement governing hundreds of millions in private donations was kept secret until a watchdog group sued and a judge ordered it disclosed.

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

My statement regarding unfounded attacks and threats against my family and staff.

No one in Congress—or their family or staff—should face threats, attacks, or lies for doing their job.

Rep. Ansari is not only speaking up for the majority of Americans who are opposed to Trump’s illegal war, she’s leading the charge to hold those responsible for it, like Pete Hegseth, accountable.

I cosponsored articles of impeachment against Pete Hegseth.

Hegseth is the most unqualified SecDef in history. He helped launch Trump’s unconstitutional war in Iran, endangered US servicemembers, and has committed war crimes—including attacks on children.

He needs to be removed from office.

Federal judge in Oregon voids RFK Jr.'s 'unlawful' directive banning gender-affirming care • Oregon Capital Chronicle Federal district judge in Oregon overturns Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s directive that said health care facilities providing gender-affirming care to minors are barred…

U.S. District Judge Mustafa Kasubhai, in a scathing opinion, called HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Dec. 18 directive “one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

Republicans are doing everything they can to cover up the Epstein files and deny survivors accountability.

Bondi is refusing to testify and now Chairman Comer is canceling hearings to prevent us from issuing more subpoenas.

This is a brazen coverup & survivors deserve better.

I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer.

Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are missing.

Why should Americans trust that this money isn’t going straight into Donald Trump’s pockets?

MS NOW's Lawrence O'Donnell with white text over his shoulder: Trump: "I'm winning a War"

Kind of a low bar but sure, Biden could step right over it.

Oh my, how delicious!

Al Gore:

“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”

Wage growth is slowing. Inflation is on the rise. Consumer sentiment has hit a record low. Millions are struggling to make ends meet.

But corporate profits have skyrocketed despite massive layoffs and the stock market is up.
