This is your periodic reminder that Democrats introduced legislation in 2021 to ban gerrymandering nationwide and every republican voted against it except two who were absent.

"They went door-to-door to tell their neighbors what the city had not told them: The data center would use twice as much electricity as all of Monterey Park."

The city’s notification in English reached only 40 people living within 500 feet. Activists worked in English, Chinese, Spanish & more!

Good morning. The Save America Act 🛑 for now. Democrats ⬆️ in polls in CA Governor race. A general standing strong w nuclear codes. A rape ring exposed. T.Carlson apologizing for supporting Trump.. his grift can continue. Spring brings Antifa growth! Enjoy the blessings of today. More to come!

This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

New Hungarian PM brutally confronts a news channel that banned him for years.

This smart dog knows about politics, he literally gives a shit.😆😆

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business.

WE Pay for

Trump has never read a book in his life and he proves it.

Tar balls, muddy polluted water and petro-stench. Not a pleasant beach day. I remember having to scrape off my shoes after the visit ...

Unconfirmed IRGC Navy transmission:

“The Strait of Hormuz is still closed. We will open it by the order of our leader Imam Khamenei, not by the tweets of some idiot.”

Gee…wonder who they’re talking about…?

🤣

What happened to this RFK Jr?

Trump trying to take credit for Pope Leo is the most on-brand thing to happen this week.

The guy would put his name on the Sistine Chapel if you handed him a sharpie.

Wow! Congrats!

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES

DAY 16 APRIL 2026

THESE HORRIBLE TIMES

TRUMP'S WAR

Straits Still Closed

Outrage !

Frustrating.

The drunken Fox host, Pete Kegsbreath recited a Bible verse during a speech at a Pentagon church service.

The problem: it's not actually from the Bible, it's from Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.

A chart of net worth.

In just the 16 months since Trump was reelected, the collective fortune of America's billionaires has grown by $1.96 trillion.

More than half of that growth comes from just the top 15 billionaires, who alone grew their collective wealth by over $1 trillion. From

Thank you

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than:

Tesla
Southwest
Disney
Live Nation
HP
United
PayPal
CVS Health
Palantir
Citigroup
PG&E
3M

That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax.

It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

That's just change on the floor for Bezos ...

If you paid taxes for 2025, you likely paid:

$124 — school lunch & nutrition programs
$49 — diplomacy to prevent wars
$19 — USPS
$19 — Federal Aviation Administration
$18 — national parks

and

$4,049 — weapons and war.

These priorities are hurting us all. We need change. #TaxDay

Because too many Americans refuse to vote Democratic while demanding things that only Democrats want to do.
