Who does PLATNER want as Senate Democratic leader? He floats four names: Chris Van Hollen, Mark Kelly, Chris Murphy, Brian Schatz.
MILLS is uncommitted on Schumer: "I've talked to other members of the Senate who apparently are interested in running for leadership."

The U.S. government altered its tally of American casualties — inexplicably scrubbing 15 wounded-in-action troops from the count.

I was struck by how many words Patel used, none of which actually denied the question.
The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act.
Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.
This is making us incredibly unsafe during tornado season.
And let's not forget those Texas floods where warnings failed, so nearly 140 people died while Republicans were trying to “own the libs” by slashing the experts who save lives.
Republicans still haven't funded FEMA either.
Disgraceful.
Howard Lutnick has the audacity to talk about the National Weather Service in the Senate hearing after Donald Trump’s DOGE clowns gutted the NWS, firing 17% of staff and leaving offices crippled.
Forecasters are short-staffed, they're missing chief roles, and are having fewer balloon launches.

California AG Rob Bonta just revealed evidence alleging that Amazon used its power to pressure them, and countless other brands, to inflate prices of listings on rival online marketplaces as part of wide-ranging price-fixing scheme.

Today, I’m remembering what life was like before the EPA. Unchecked industry polluted air & water. Places like Love Canal dumped toxins near homes, sickening & killing people. The Cuyahgoa River in OH caught on fire two times-this led to the creation of the EPA. Trump gutted the EPA for industry.

Trump knows that everyone understands what "Low IQ person" means when he says it but the press isn't willing to write it. He knows they will always cover for him and he loves that he can get away with it. He's used so many old timey racist terms he hopes no one knows but he also does this

ICYMI — the draft dodger in chief says “I would’ve won Vietnam very quickly” in yet another unhinged, detached from reality rant
Linda is why white people cannot be trusted. She has the unmitigated gall to tell Madam Vice President Kamala Devi Harris to step aside for white men. To not be ambitious. Linda thinks Black women should still sit at the back of the bus. Fuck Linda. No one is more qualified to be President than MVP.
🎙️ Just on Al Jazeera on war & clean energy.
Double-edged sword — but I'm optimistic long-term.
High fuel prices make clean energy more economic than just weeks ago. Demand for solar, EVs and heat pumps is surging.

Drunkard rapist fox host Pete Hegseth has ended mandatory annual flu vaccines for US troops and blames President Biden for military vaccine mandates.
First, this is straight up murder in my opinion and second, flu shots have been required since 1945 when Biden was 2 years old.
BENNET: Do you agree that 89% of children who died from flu were unvaccinated?
RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number
BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy
RFK Jr: *death growls*
BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?
“It’s outrageous that U.S. operatives were working to blow up drug labs in Mexico and President Sheinbaum’s security cabinet wasn’t informed of their activities.” theintercept.com/2026/04/21/c...
Numerous countries are responding to Trump's skyrocketing energy prices by accelerating the rollout of clean energy infrastructure. South Korea, the Philippines, the European Union, and the U.K. to name a few. Renewables are being implemented at a record pace not despite but because of stupid DJT.
Go ahead, I double dog dare ya.
George Washington required the entire Continental Army to get inoculated against smallpox. It was the first army-wide vaccination in history. Mortality dropped from 30% to 1%. Mandatory vaccinations just might have won America it's independence.
Helluva way to celebrate 250 years, Pete.
