Dumbo picked a fight with someone who has a much larger cult following, and who he can't bully with tariffs, sanctions, or boycotts.
Governor Tim Walz — "We are sick of this. A weak, reckless, Idiotic president just threw us into a war nobody asked for. No threat existed. No objectives were set. No exit plan exists. This is pure fascism." #cdnpoli
H.R. 1897 is moving fast in the House and could hit the floor for a full vote as soon as tomorrow. This bill would gut the Endangered Species Act forcing economic impact considerations into listing decisions, limiting your ability to challenge bad science in court,

Today (April 20) is the 27th anniversary of Columbine.
I was a sophomore in high school when it happened, and I remember the school's response was to "ban trench coats." 🤔
People might kill people, but guns do it faster and more efficiently.
We needed gun control then and we need it now.
And then he said: “If you don’t open the Strait of Hormuz, an entire civilization will die tonight.”
So they opened it.
Then he blockaded it.
So they closed it again.
Now he’s demanding they reopen it… so he can close it again.
Well, at least the BBC is covering this.
ICE detained the wife of an active-duty U.S. Army Sgt. First Class after she showed up for an immigration appointment in 📍 El Paso—then still threatened removal despite legal protections.
Her husband (27 years active duty) said it plainly: ICE is out of control.
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.
I don’t necessarily think that it’s useful for serious political figures to endeavor to fully dissolve — as opposed to regulate and constrain — corporate entities, but I’d make an exception for Palantir. It cannot coexist with liberal democracy and it openly says so
Then, she mouthed … to me, like with no sound: ‘Help,’” Abohatem recounted to the outlet. He described getting out from behind the front counter’s protective glass, placing himself between the man and the girl and ordering him to leave the business.
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.
SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

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!
A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑
WAR....What is it good for?

Back to the simple natural order of things…….. not human arrogance based on destruction of our water,air, environment for profit…… for the 1%
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.
Before they were arrested- Vets are demanding an end to the war on Iran at the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C.
Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!
You gotta give to the GOP.
They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.
If this man had murdered eight strangers the story would lead every news outlet. But because they are his children, it's "family violence," "domestic violence" -- undeserving of the same attention. Even though this violence is much more common

To me, the saddest deficiency is in health care. Virtually every other significant country provides free health care to their citizens, the success of which is shown by our very low grade for Life Expectancy: 45 countries' citizens outlive Americans. And Trump is cutting it even further.

Secular news outlets like CNN do a terrible job of covering religion. They really don't get religion at all. The accurate headline would read: "as the administration continues to integrate religion, particularly christian nationalism, info official business."
