Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
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.

Incredible shots of the exchange between Rep. AOC and RFK, Jr. at today’s congressional hearing.

A lawyer for the El Gamal family, that has spent close to a year at an immigration detention center in Texas, demanded the family’s release after a federal magistrate judge found that “requiring them to endure further detention… risks compounding the constitutional violation.”
Mayor Mamdani and a group of children hold hands while running through red tape in a hallway.
For too long, bureaucracy kept 7 child care centers across our city empty — spaces that should have been alive with laughter instead collected dust.
We've run through that red tape. This fall, all 7 will open their doors, bringing an additional 240 free 3-K seats & real relief to working families.
WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?
KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed
Then what is the point of him being AG? Oh, right...protecting Trump. Never mind.
After France, Denmark is moving too: its Digitalisation Ministry plans to phase out Microsoft, switching to Linux and LibreOffice in the coming months. The goal is clear—reduce dependence on a handful of global tech giants and strengthen digital sovereignty.
Ever since I was a little girl I knew I wanted to tell everyone to go fuck themselves and I rescued a cat who wants the same thing
As Goldfinger said, "Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action." Trump has fired three cabinet secretaries so far, all women. How about some of the men now?
Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social:
The most morally corrupt DOJ in US history.
Not sure wtf we're doing but it definitely doesn't feel like winning.

(alongside images of the US, megaphones, Liam Conejo Ramos’ bunny hat, and signs that read “NO ICE WAREHOUSE,” “SHUTDOWN DETENTION CENTERS,” and “NOT HERE/NOT ANYWHERE”) NATIONAL DAY OF ACTION STOP ICE WAREHOUSE DETENTION APRIL 25, 2026
The regime is purchasing and converting warehouses to serve as concentration camps for the people ICE and Border Patrol disappear off the street — but local communities are fighting back. Join us at @detentionwatchnetwork.org's national day of action on Saturday: www.mobilize.us/disappearedi...
Preferably abolished IMO
In order to get him to stay at your barn, he should be CONFINED there 3 weeks and fed well so that he learns this is his new territory and where he eats.
Simply releasing him is tantamount to dumping him and also if he is an owned pet, relocating him may also be illegal.
I urge you not to do so.
Forget "total cost of ownership." In the UK, the average EV is now cheaper than the average ICE vehicle, up front. Sticker cost.
And of course the savings just keep accumulating after that.
Respect!
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.
If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!
The president of the United States has labeled more than half the country traitors.
This isn’t just a rant. This is setting up a call for action on his part.
A US army sergeant with 27 years of military service – including deployment to Afghanistan – has said that federal immigration agents recently arrested his wife during an appointment at an El Paso, Texas, immigration office.
Excited to share some good news for Illinois families — we’ve reached over 100,000 children in our state receiving books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.
Let’s keep reading.
Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.
Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.
The system is rigged.
Another reason to boycott Amazon.
If we get 50% of those eligible to vote out to the polls, that alone would create a logjam as it appears there are long lines when only 25% of voters go vote.
Hungary brought out 79% of the vote. Young people.
If only America could be this passionate about government.
