When you learned about the Iran hostage crisis, did they teach you this part?
In November 1979, during the crisis, Black hostages and women were released first.
Ruhollah Khomeini said they were oppressed in the United States and not part of the power structure, so they weren’t seen as spies.
Virginia, go out and vote YES today.
Fight fire with fire and take on MAGA's power grab.
Did my part.
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."
AOC: “If the determination is that Donald #Trump cannot be trusted in the Situation Room & in unfolding scenarios, then he's not fit to be president”

Clarence Thomas Is Corrupt
Clarence Thomas accepted Millions in lavish, undisclosed gifts of travel and questionable real estate transactions from Harlan Crow.
The real-estate developer and GOP donor bought a house from Thomas but allowed his mother to remain.

Unbelievable. Where's the bailout for Americans who have paid higher prices for months because of this crazy war?
John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption

NYT email screenshot" "BREAKING NEWS Kenny Holston/The New York Times Fed Chair Nominee Asserts at Hearing He Won’t Do Trump’s Bidding Kevin Warsh told senators at his confirmation hearing that he would be “strictly independent” on decisions related to interest rates and that he was unbothered by President Trump’s calls for lower borrowing costs."
Trump's Fed Chair nominee will not answer a simple yes or no question re whether Trump lost the 2020 election and yet here is the framing from @nytimes.com
TOMORROW: Virginians will decide whether to approve a redistricting plan that could hand Democrats four more seats in Congress in 2026.
At stake in this months-long battle? Control of the U.S. House, the ability to check Trump and a broader fight against GOP map-drawing in battleground states.
Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.

Trump Is Making Republicans Wet Their Beds
