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.

Settee down everyone, it's not that funny
So much false equivalence in media on gerrymandering in Texas vs California & Virginia. California and Virginia maps approved by the voters. That's a huge difference not enough people pointing out
Judge schedules potentially pivotal hearing for April 28 in legal challenge against Trump’s plan to shutter & renovate Kennedy Center
Judge orders attorneys for plaintiff, Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) & Trump attorneys to be ready to tackle wide range of issues in the case by then

New York Attorney General Letitia James in court ruling BLOCKING Nexstar—Tegna merger:
“Consolidating hundreds of local TV stations under one corporate owner would mean higher prices and lower quality programming for consumers”
Earlier this week, another global flotilla mission left Spain to deliver food, medicine, and water to Gaza.
We are calling for an end to inhumane blockade to Gaza and to allow these supplies in.
The world is watching. History will remember.
The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.
Apparently like every day.
The Iranians are playing this brainsick dullard like a yo-yo.
Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.
Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.
Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?
Cover of Mother Jones with an image of fingers pointing at John Roberts and the coverline "Blame John Roberts for Everything"
The NYT big expose on SCOTUS today pairs well with @ariberman.bsky.social and @pemalevy.bsky.social's cover story on how ~everything wrong with this country today can be laid at the feet of John Roberts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Attorney @normeisen.bsky.social says a merger between Time Warner and Paramount would be a Viktor "Orban-ization" of U.S. media
On April 16, 1962, Walter Cronkite became anchor of the CBS Evening News.
He would hold the title for nearly 20 years and would become known as “the most trusted man in America.”
Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United.
Harlan Crow's political contributions then went up 862%.
Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit.
But go on about how "progressivism" is a problem...
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.
Images of food being served to sailors on the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli, published by USA Today. Supplies "are going to get really low" and "morale is going to be at an all-time low," one sailor messaged his mother

Republican leaders tried to pass a five-year extension of surveillance authority in the dead of night.
The bill does not enhance privacy protection.
It risks expanding the ability of the Trump administration to spy on the American people.
Unacceptable.
That’s why we just shut the bill down.
@lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social: RFK Jr. lied to Congress when he denied saying ‘every Black kid’ should be ‘re-parented’ www.youtube.com/watch?v=vr_u...
Started out with a bankroll from Daddy. Multiple business bankruptcies. How anyone ever thought he could run our country is still beyond me.
👀 Oh. My. Gawd. Now we know why Melania gave that Epstein presser on Thursday. An interview with Amanda Ungaro is about to be released by El Pais on Sunday morning (and it’s after midnight right now in Spain). And on Monday, she will be on CNN.
There’s no such thing as “birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.”
The U.S. Constitution is abundantly clear that if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. Trying to take away citizenship from Americans is not only extreme, but also unconstitutional.
As aside, this is one speech Melania didn’t plagiarize from Michelle Obama.
Melania choosing now to speak publicly about Jeffrey Epstein is interesting…
If Melania can make a speech, she can testify before Congress

This is what a rigged system looks like.
Melania Trump wants these photos and emails to be scrubbed from the Internet. Please stop liking and sharing them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
We have never looked more feckless and ridiculous to the entire world.
