Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore L. Louise Lucas: “You all started it, and we f—ing finished it”
The Associated Press is reporting that the Virginia Redistricting Referendum has passed!
Virginians land yet another blow to Donald Trump’s attempts to maintain power over Congress.
One winner: Virginia State Senator & dedicated poster L. Louise Lucas, who spearheaded the “10-1!” push
JUST IN: A federal judge has tossed a defamation lawsuit Kash Patel brought against former FBI official / pundit Frank Figliuzzi.
Figliuzzi’s claim that Patel spent more time in nightclubs than at FBI HQ was “rhetorical hyperbole,” the judge rules.

For my own wellbeing, sometimes it's best to completely ignore harsh reality & focus exclusively on one or all of our 3 pets.
In this case it's our youngest, Trixie (a/k/a Bat-Mite, a/k/a Spawn of Satan), who I love dearly. ♥️ 🐶

Trump pardons those who can pay him which leaves those who hurt them with literally nothing. I can’t believe MAGA thought a billionaire would be on their side. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy www.propublica.org/article/trum...
Alternet: Trump wanted to use US nuclear codes during an emergency meeting, a move blocked by General Dan Caine. Johnson criticized Trump’s mental state, claiming his Iran statements were aimed at manipulating stock prices rather than reflecting reality.

Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings
Always and forever 😢❤️
In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.
249 years later, we have this idiot.
If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for?
The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.
SPLC on the Senate rejecting the SAVE Act: “Let’s be clear: this is not the end. Those who seek to restrict the right to vote are relentless, and our commitment to fighting them is unwavering.
This is a huge win for voting rights! 💙

So when it comes to beards and hairstyles, discipline requires strict conformity. When it comes to contracting and spreading a preventable illness that directly affects unit readiness, follow your bliss, man.
Warren: "Why try to end independence of the Fed? Bc Trump's economic failures are causing him political problems, he wants the Fed to artificially juice the economy Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself"
👀
Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."
Warsh may be a reasonable guy and capable economist just playing a role here. But if integrity and independence are qualities we value in a Fed Chief, he does not have them.
Every nominee who dodges this question tells us that they have no meaningful commitment to American democracy.
Weird how seemingly everyone in and around power has some kind of investing connection to Epstein, I'm sure it's just a coincidence
And .. here come the Freedom of Information Act requests for Kash Patel records
DC watchdog group Democracy Forward has formally requested Patel's calendars & any messages from security detail that include words "drinking", "hungover", "inebriated"

Judging you.
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.

HIRONO: The rising prices of energy -- is that something you didn't contemplate happening before the president declared his illegal war?
CHRIS WRIGHT: No. We knew exactly what would happen
HIRONO: It doesn't seem like it, because the president doesn't understand how to open the strait
GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?
WARSH: That is, senator.
GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.
Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.
Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.
CHRIS WRIGHT: Energy prices are still well lower than they were in middle of the Biden adminis--
CANTWELL: I want to stop you right there. There is nobody in the Northwest who thinks that. Not when they wake up & airline flights are being canceled because of high fuel costs. No one thinks it's okay

A screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek), with the handle @magyarpeterMP. The post reads: "Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then — on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office." At the bottom, the timestamp reads "3:04 AM • Apr 21, 2026" alongside "19.9K Views".
Peter Magyar is not playing around at all. He's going to purge every single remnant of corrupt Orbanism. This is exactly how Dems need to be when they retake power.
Wow:
More Corruption from the felon.
Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) * ... @magyarpeterMP Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions.

On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then - on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office.
Hungary’s Péter Magyar issues an ultimatum.
AOC: In some ways, you kind of want this guy on a golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office. But that also calls into question the 25th Amendment, because if the determination is that Trump cannot be trusted in the Situation Room, then he's not fit to be president.
