Like Trump’s other spurious political proescutions, this is borrowing a page from his private sector penchant for litigation as a weapon to make the target’s life hell. He doesn’t have to win. He gets to publicly smear them & cost them a lot of money & stress even when they ultimately win.

Gen Z men and women on why they’re sharply divided over reproductive rights A majority of Americans think abortion should be legal in all or most cases, but there is a gap between men and women on the issue. That divide is perhaps clearest among Generation Z, those born betwe...

PBS NewsHour did a great story tonight on gender, abortion, reproductive rights, and young adults👇

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

Warren: That’s not my question. Mr. Warsh are you refusing to tell us if you have investments for example, in a vehicle set up to advance Jeffery Epstein? Is that what you’re telling us? You just won’t tell us? Warsh: Senator, what I’m telling you is that those assets that you represent as Juggernaut will be sold, if I’m confirmed, before I take office, and sign the oath of office.

like, what?!

They had no fucking clue what they were starting with this.

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time.

This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

every conservative political complaint comes back to "those people shouldn't count because they disagree with me"

I asked Kevin Warsh where his secret $100 million was invested. YouTube video by Senator Elizabeth Warren

I asked Kevin Warsh whether his secret $100 million was invested in any companies affiliated with the Trump family, Chinese-controlled companies, or financing vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein.

He refused to answer.

ELIZABETH WARREN: Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?

KEVIN WARSH: Uhm, we try to keep politics if I'm confirmed out of the Federal Reserve

WARREN: I'm just asking a factual question

WARSH: I believe this body certified the election

WARREN: That's not the question I'm asking

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.

Seems to me like Trump is desperately begging Iran to sign a replica of the Obama JCPOA he tore up. All for the low low price of thousands dead, global instability, high energy prices, and a toll on ships through the once-free strait of Hormuz.
