Warren does at one point single out Epstein, but the full question is nuts: Warsh didn’t disclose $100 million hidden behind entities he owns, so are any of those assets owned by the Trump family or the Chinese government, have any of them facilitated money laundering, any set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

Just read it.

Spot On - 

An Aussie reply to Trump’s rant about ‘NATO not being there for us’:

“Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

The Supreme Court’s Shadow Docket Signaling and the Racial Politics of Immigration Enforcement | Stanford Law School This post is part of Challenging Precedent, a blog of the Stanford Center for Racial Justice examining race, law, and regulation in the Trump era. Whe

The Supreme Court is fundamentally corrupt & after the NYT reporting there's a big opening for Democrats to make a huge stink about the shadow docket and that it was born to stop the first Black POTUS's climate agenda. We must talk about how the shadow docket has become a racially weaponized tool.

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

Less firin', more hirin',
Less Wall Street, more Main Street,
Less ICE thugs, more nice hugs,
Less droppin' bombs, more helpin' moms,
Less shootouts, more cookouts,
Less hypocrisy, more democracy.

You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.

I do not like that man named Trump
I do not like his bloated rump
I do not like his war decrees
That drift like smoke on foreign seas
He drops the match, then claims he’s calm
Calls chaos peace, calls fire a balm
I do not like him, not at all
A neon ego on the wall

Britain responds to Iran war energy shock by requiring solar panels and heat pumps in all new homes The move comes as part of Britain's response to the Iran war, with the conflict triggering the largest supply disruption in the history of the oil market.

In light of the Iran war, the UK will require all new homes to be built with solar panels and energy-efficient electric heat pumps. How...logical! www.cnbc.com/2026/03/24/i...

The area was so conservative pre-MAGA that my political awakening was my 8 year-old self’s revulsion at a pastor’s anti-gay tirade at my borderline-megachurch.

I had to effectively hide my political views behind “laissez-faire” & “libertarian” labels for years IN CALIFORNIA.

Today’s a win, folks.
