If Dems retake either house, they must launch an investigation into this. There's no easier way to highlight the corruption of this era and to establish that Dems are committed to fighting it.

Pretty sure @wyden.senate.gov and Maxine Waters would be the chairs to do it.

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!!'

Hey @nytimes.com, I already reported this earlier this week.

And the G650s you mention? I reported on those in FEBRUARY.

You credit NBC News and WSJ for first reporting parts of your story. Please credit me, too.

George Lucas Saying “And then 'Senator Crappo' will be the guy who makes the taxes worse"

We should have never doubted this man

I support @sanders.senate.gov’s efforts to stop the sale of bombs and bulldozers to Israel as the Netanyahu government levels entire towns and targets communities in Gaza, Lebanon, and the West Bank.

Happy Tax Day folks. As I pointed out here, the technical arguments about having free tax filing is over. Direct File proved it. What we are seeing now is just rent-seekers bribing policymakers to be allowed to keep extracting money from you.

Sanders: The people have got to determine the future of what happens in our country and in the entire planet, not a handful of extraordinarily wealthy, arrogant, anti-democratic multibillionaires. That’s what they want. They have their goals. They are not our goals.

Mamdani: When I ran for mayor, I said I was going to tax the rich

Well, today we're taxing the rich...

ChatGPT: you’re right you’re so much smarter than him. He’s so schlubby and you’re so suave. Columbo will never catch you.

We can all agree that it’s very funny that AI apparently came for Jon McNaughton’s career, right?

New York Times finally reports on concerns that Trump is ‘clearly insane’ | Press Watch That’s a big deal. But now what? It’s more than a one-day story.

OMG! My article is on the first page of Google search results for "Trump insane". I am so proud! presswatchers.org/2026/04/new-...

More people have died from 9/11-related illnesses than in the actual attack.

You know who else will suffer from the same cancers after exposure to similar toxins?

On an even larger and more prolonged scale?

The people of Gaza and Lebanon.

He might as well have said, "Look, the president's taint isn't going to lick itself. I have a job to do, and it has nothing to do with the American people."

We have been Way Past that Point for a While Now….

At some point all this shit stops being a "political" issue and starts being an "are you a good person or not" issue.

don’t forget that wilson thinks black people should be enslaved!

UN WORLD FOOD PROGRAMME: MANY TRADERS IN LEBANON REPORTING LESS THAN ONE WEEK OF ESSENTIAL FOOD STOCKS REMAINING

Take a moment to reflect on the anniversary of when traitors to the Union surrendered yet faced minimal accountability for their treachery.

Let it be a reminder that this corrupt, anti-American administration must not escape accountability. I am committed to ensuring justice is pursued.

The obvious answer here is that the student protest movement was broadly smeared as anti-semitic and aligned with terrorists, and a variety of institutions from government, media and the universities acted as if that smear was true, threatening, suspending, expelling and even deporting students.

Me, an atheist: Your holiness I stand ready to join the crusade against these heretics

‘Masquerading as a university’: inside the brazen rightwing plan to conquer American schools

As teachers eagerly adopt its free lesson plans and the White House boosts its videos, the non-profit’s leaders are intent on one goal: attracting young people to conservatism

The Vice President is overseas campaigning for a dictator, because I guess there’s nothing going on here that warrants his attention.

Let’s…uh…maybe cool it on the Taco stuff. Not sure that double-dog daring Trump into war crimes is good

I just know Susan Collins is writing the sternest letter of her LIFE

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

BERMAN: Do you think Congress should have a vote if the United States is going to make a whole civilization die?

MIKE LAWLER: John, you are parsing here


BERMAN: I was quoting

Is waiting around the only thing we can do? I need to do something!!!
