James Comer is under fire after a memo revealed Republicans are shifting away from traditional hearings on the Epstein Files.
Instead of formal proceedings, the committee is moving to “roundtables”—informal sessions with no authority.
Witnesses are not even required to be under oath.

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.
BREAKING: A GOP-appointed Virginia judge has struck down the Democratic-backed redistricting amendment in full, ruling it unconstitutional and “void from the start.”
AG Jay Jones says he will immediately file an appeal.
A single-day protest on May 1 is taking its cue from the massive day of action that shut down Minneapolis in January by asking Americans not to shop, work or go to school

An on-again, off-again ceasefire at the same time as a blockade, makes perfect sense if you see it for what it is:
MARKET MANIPULATION
Media should stop saying Israel is “demolishing” villages in Lebanon. It’s misleading.
The accurate term is ethnic cleansing.
This is a senator L. Louise Lucas appreciation post
A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

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.
Trump isn’t the problem, he’s a symptom. The system failed when it chose profit over accountability and forced itself on others. He reflects the insatiable beast that was already there preying on us all. Change will require building a new nation before the current one rightfully collapses.
I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.
Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires.
It's a disgrace.
Yikes — “Military advisers intentionally excluded Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes extraction of a downed American airman in Iran, fearing his erratic temper would jeopardize the mission, WSJ reported…” www.jpost.com/internationa...
🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”
There is so much market manipulation going on in this administration.
Bootlicker.
The standoff over the Strait of Hormuz escalated again Saturday as Iran reversed its reopening of the crucial waterway and fired on ships attempting to pass, in retaliation after the United States pressed ahead with its blockade of Iranian ports. https://to.pbs.org/4mMT5t1
The average federal income tax for an individual is 14.5%.
But in 2025, Google’s parent company, Alphabet, paid just an 8% tax rate.
Meta paid just 3.75%.
Amazon paid just 1.37%.
Palantir and Tesla paid nothing.

This Tax Day 287 major companies are avoiding $139,256,870,000 in taxes on $1 trillion of their 2025 profits.
BREAKING: Maryland is about to become the first state in the nation to ban the use of surveillance data and dynamic pricing at grocery stores.
The Maryland House has just passed the Protection from Predatory Pricing Act.
Governor Wes Moore plans to sign the bill.
Donald Trump bragged about grabbing women by the pussy.
He was credibly accused of sexual assault by 20+ women.
He is alleged to have raped at least one child.
He was found liable of sexual abuse.
And Republicans made him president.
Twice.
They don’t get to pearl clutch now.
America, you really don't need the Epstein files. You already know the truth. 😕
John Deere has to pay farmers $99 million to resolve a class action right-to-repair lawsuit.
The company will also provide farmers with access to repair materials for 10 years.

Einstein Visa? Or Epstein Visa?
Starting December 2026, men aged 18-25 will automatically be registered to the military draft pool.
To be clear, a 5x draft dodger wants other people’s children to sacrifice their lives for him but he doesn’t want those same children to be automatically registered to vote.
Delta raised checked baggage fees to $45 for the first bag.
Southwest's $45 fee kicks in tomorrow.
JetBlue raised baggage fees to $39.
United also raised its fee to $45.
Each company ostensibly raised fees due to fuel costs. That cost is now plummeting on the ceasefire news.
If someone with an arsenal of bombs and guns made a credible threat to commit mass murder, and they were obviously mentally ill, then they'd be involuntarily committed to a mental institution.
Forget impeachment. Apprehend him for his own safety and that of others.
Israel is reportedly unhappy with the terms of the ceasefire deal and is upset that it was informed of the deal so late, with Donald Trump reportedly calling Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu just before the deal was announced.

Yesterday was one of those days when a lot of normal people remembered our president is super erratic and unhinged
