Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.
Like, for example, a Secretary of Defense citing a fake Bible verse from Pulp Fiction to promote wars of aggression.
There are fools in every group.
That's terrible.
Senate Democrats will continue to force debate.
We will continue to call on Republicans to hold Donald Trump accountable.
@booker.senate.gov on the Iran War Powers Resolution.
There was a project that did this before, until Trump canceled it
Hassett: "Imagine if oil prices start going back down because the situation resolves itself somehow, they you could be looking at an inflation close to zero. That's something the Fed needs to pay attention to."
What a decent President says.
Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October.
Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year.
Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce.
Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.
Thank you, President Obama. You are the embodiment of reason and rationality
EXCLUSIVE: Behind the scenes, the Trump administration has been wielding its vast power to transform the midterm elections.
This is the untold story of Trump’s efforts to, as he has called it, “take over” the midterms.
Q: Does your threat against Iran from before still stand?
TRUMP: I don't want to comment on that, but it won't be pleasant for them. Let me put it that way.
Yes, Trump is very good at talking nonsense.
These are the oligarchs who seek to rule every aspect of our lives, and the current US regime is doing everything possible to facilitate that because it is owned by them.
Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?
Character isn't something you tell people about.
It's something you live.
Chris Murphy: So now WE are closing the Strait. This is - just in case you were wondering - as dumb as it sounds. It’s a classic case of one tragic mistake begetting another because of out of control hubris and pride.
Polls have closed in Hungary. A record 77.8% turnout.
No exit polls, but shouldn’t be long till the actual results roll in.
Excited supporters of Péter Magyar and the Tisza Party are already dancing outside Parliament in Budapest. 🇭🇺
Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."
We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.
Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.
