BREAKING: One of Mike Rogers' senior campaign leaders just resigned in disgrace amid reports about his “connection to a Midland church where three elders have been convicted of sex crimes involving children." Meanwhile, Rogers continues to remain silent. michigandems.com/breaking-mik...
Seems like NYT should have mentioned that UAE's spymaster bought 49% of Trump's World Liberty Financial and used $2B of its USD1 stablecoin, directing hundreds of millions to Trump.

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.
This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.
The owner of Coachella is a right-wing nationalist and gives lots of money to anti-LGBT organizations.

“A small number of extreme users constantly post fringe opinions, which creates the illusion that these views are far more widely held than they really are.”
This is a critical concept.
The most powerful tool for deception today is “selected speech” — billionaires boosting ideas they like…
After 509 days of protests, the message from Georgia is unmistakable: the European future is the will of its people. Yet recent legislative moves tightening control over political expression are pushing the country away from that path, as Commissioner Marta Kos warned. 1/2

On the one hand, Russia demands recognition as a "great superpower," claiming the right to redraw state borders by force and impose a new sphere of influence⤵️
Sports owners are using tech to build private surveillance states — while taking public money.
Which means that Knicks owner James Dolan is the future.
In a new collaboration with @wired.com, we go inside how MSG secretly watches fans, surveils kids, tracks players… youtu.be/yNZ3hJPN5Vc?...
Explosive & really outrageous revelations in here about a billionaire's private surveillance network completely run amok.
If we can't stop Dolan from spying on us at MSG, let's at least cancel his sweetheart tax break. (1/2)

DO NOT SPREAD THIS FALSEHOOD.
2026, 2027, and 2028 will require all of us to up our media literacy game.
Anonymous non-journalists touting major breaking news stories not reported or even hinted at anywhere else should be immediately blocked, not shared.

Who made this? 😤😤😤
Donald has claimed Iran has been defeated almost as many times as my trolls have claimed Ukraine has been.
Saw Anne Applebaum on GPS - she said, yes, he is center right and made no pretension about it. But she is optimistic because he is loudly and boldly anti-corruption and pro-democracy and has said he intends to hold people accountable and change laws to ensure democracy.
Agree about the Dem future
I would like to point out that elections have consequences.
Too many people tried to claim Bush and Gore were the same. They were not.
Had Gore won:
- No Iraq war
- No Chief Justice Roberts
- No SCJ Alito
I would also argue N 9/11 because he would have paid attention to the warning signs
Pete Hegseth Nailed It. No Really. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/pete-...
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows: "In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis. When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."
OOP
New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!'
www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
Over just five days, the justices had decided the issue. Even as they debated the Obama plan’s possible burden on the power industry, in the entire chain of correspondence obtained by The Times, not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.
Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
