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

Trump says U.S. officials heading to Pakistan for talks but Iran says it doesn't plan to take part President Trump says he sent a U.S. delegation to Pakistan for another round of peace talks with Iran Monday but Tehran says it doesn't plan to participate.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.

JD Vance and his negotiating team of nepo babies & real estate developers have no idea what the hell they’re doing.

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief.

The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

We are 7 weeks into the most egregious stock market manipulations of our lifetime.

Orchestrated by a crooked president and his underlings.

Billions siphoned via false proclamations of ceasefires and peace talks.

With the criminals in charge, every day is a crime spree.

Lady Liberty with boxing gloves on and text:

FIGHT BACK VoteYES
Virginia Redistricting Amendment
Do nothing, a minority of voters could elect the majority of the US House.
The Virgina Redistricting Amendment gives voters - not politicians - the final say to level the playing field.
No map takes effect without voter approval.
Virginians can see the maps before voting.
This is a temporary, emergency step - not a permanent change. It will automatically sunset after the 2030 census.

Texas & Florida already locked in their rigged maps to secure extra seats—now it’s our turn to fight back. TOMORROW, April 21, 6am–7pm, we pass this temporary fix to protect Virginia’s interests through 2031. Same-day registration available at your polling place.

DACA protections are important to voters like me.

Dreamers are here through no fault of their own. They grew up here, went to school here, built their lives here. They are part of our communities, and they deserve protection.

This is where Xavier Becerra actually did the work.

I don’t know if this will be useful in any way, but Chinua Achebe wrote this and it explained grief to me in a way that helped digest its intrusiveness:

“When suffering knocks at your door and you say there is no seat for him, he tells you not to worry because he has brought his own stool.”

Buttigieg: I’ll give the Turning Point folks a lot of strategic credit for going to a lot of different places. Going to these college campuses is kind of the equivalent, in their minds, of the way I feel when I go on Fox News.

The difference is, when I go on Fox News, I’m telling the truth

Wow. To hear a Catholic priest make the connection from the Trump administration to “white Christian nationalism” is 🔥

But let’s not pretend this is new. Christianity was used to justify slavery, and now the right uses Christianity to justify racism.

I appreciate a priest saying it out loud.

And can I just add… No one at Palantir seems to be able to read or write.

“We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism”

Take out the vapid tautologies and you get:

“We must resist pluralism”

Great tell.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

Why Yale’s term paper on what’s wrong with college gets a ‘D-’ | Will Bunch An Ivy League university's report on the loss of faith in higher ed ignores what really killed the American Dream of college.

@willbunch.bsky.social is so good. For all the praise of last week's report on public trust in higher education from Yale faculty, the writers deserve a D for ignoring the elephant in the room. www.inquirer.com/opinion/yale...
