I was shocked to learn in Tennessee that Nashville's single Democratic Congressman was gerrymandered out of a seat, leaving the city divided into several half-urban, half-rural constituencies and with no real representation at all.
That was years ago, and I didn't hear any Republicans object.
⚡️ The European Union has formally approved a €90 billion loan for Ukraine and a 20th sanctions package against Russia - President Zelenskyy
Why is J Phelan (Navy Sec in a war of choice by Trump) being fired now? Does it have anything to do w/previous threats to inflict war crimes & legal implications on all subsequent orders, after threatening annihilation? We never had a potus threaten to annihilate a civilization before, have we?
If you're wondering why the Senate is in session at midnight tonight, it's because Republicans are trying to jam through at least $70 billion for ICE with no accountability.
$70 billion for ICE. $0 to help families. $0 to help lower costs.
What a disgrace. I'm voting NO.
Tim Walz on DHS officers who shot Minnesotans: "We're gonna bring them back and hold them accountable for what they did"
It's 2 AM. Republicans are pulling an all-nighter to shovel $70 billion at ICE—and can't be bothered to spend a cent to save health care for the millions of Americans who can't afford insurance.
Shame on every one of them. I'm voting NO.
To be clear: What is going on here is that THIS FBI, under Patel, is in fact helping these extremist groups by going after their "narcs." Remember that they are trying to dismiss the convictions against the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys. They pardoned J6ers. Charlottesville Nazis were "fine people" 2/
Quick logic question: I ask you to donate money to my organization so we can "monitor" and "expose" the secret and potentially violent activities of highly insular extremist groups. What would you reasonably believe is being done with the money to achieve these objectives? 🤔
Hope John Roberts, who assured us that absolute immunity would prevent presidents from going after their predecessors, sees this
SPLC Indictment Reactions.. condemnation for this abusive, sloppy, incoherent indictment meant to save Kash's job and get Blanche the AG job permanently. Shame on ANYONE who had anything to do with this outrage open.substack.com/pub/contrari...
AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.
HASSAN: I agree all should have access to healthy foods, but Trump has made it harder to afford groceries. Do high prices make it easier or harder for families to eat healthy?
RFK Jr: I would say that beef has dropped by 1% last quarter
HASSAN: No. Beef prices are up 20% since Trump took office
The acting head of the CDC has canceled the publication of a study that found that the Covid vaccine sharply cut the odds of hospitalizations and emergency visits last winter

There’s hope. Authoritarianism scholar @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social shares what history tells us about how authoritarians fall. She’s seeing the early signs now. Check it out on Substack, then consider subscribing: open.substack.com/pub/thefrank...
Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up.
The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning.
No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.
We have heard nothing from Pam Bondi or her legal team. She didn't show up for her scheduled deposition, and half of the Epstein files are still unreleased.
We are left with no choice. Contempt charges are coming.
Maybe if CPAC keeps showing its own banner (that CPAC used at a CPAC convention, after 5 LEOs died following the J6 insurrection), the CPAC speaker will get the answer he is dictating he wants?
Bravo to excellent GVP research scientists & donors driving ethical collection of GV data, reporting accurately, truthfully on data findings. There are no solutions to GV in the absence of integrity to facts, ethics in collection & analysis of data, transparency in reporting GV truths to the public.
Life-saving work in the State of California significantly reduces the gun death rate.
LUTNICK: It is outrageous that Canada will not put US spirits on the shelf. It is insulting and disrespectful to America
SHAHEEN: They won't do it because of the insults from this president and comments like yours
That… and likely a couple of other reasons, like inciting tensions to suggest making Canada a US state.
Truth cannot be reported?
Billionaire funded TPUSA's goal is to police public discourse such that anyone to their left who speaks truthfully about what Charlie Kirk said or did, using his own words as evidence, will not be allowed to speak those truths to college students in red states. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...
HASSAN: Did the president approve your decision to fire all 17 members of the CDC's vaccine committee in June 2025?
RFK Jr: Uhhhhh -- you mean did I talk to him directly? We talked to the White House DPC
Shaheen: "How does insulting our closest ally and neighbor help the businesses…all across this country that are hurting because of the loss of Canadian business and tourism?"
Lutnick: "Canada's economy leans on the incredible $30 trillion economy of America."
Mr Lutnick has a unique way of leaning on what does not address the question. It’s like asking someone why anyone would take their family to visit a child sex predator on his private island, with them responding by declaring they didn’t stay, & left with everyone, including the nannies.
Please @nbcsnl-mirror.bsky.social - there has got to be a skit longing to be created, in this photo.
Margo Martin @MargoMartin47 X.com Congratulations, Georgia Women's Tennis! The photo shows Trump and five white dudes in red ties standing in front of and completely blocking 10 young women
Priceless post from the official White House social media
Nothing like making visible, the gop uses for BLOCKADES!!!
😂
