If you are as infuriated as you read this as I am, know that Congress not only has the power to fix the abuse of the Shadow Docket but also that the legislation is already drafted. We just need to get it to the floor. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

I got a letter from hundreds of U.S. career diplomats who were FIRED before Donald Trump's war with Iran.

You won't believe what they had to say.

I'm helping to lead a group of Senate Democrats who are planning to force a vote - every single week the Senate is in session - to end the war in Iran. We have that right under the Senate rules, and we are going to keep putting Republicans on record supporting this insane war.

The President wants to illegally take over America’s central bank.

There should be no Senate hearing on his Fed Chair nominee.

Reminder that the Biden admin was bringing us a free online filing program, but then Trump/Musk killed it before it had a chance to be expanded to everyone:

Trump’s Justice Department Dropped 23,000 Criminal Investigations in Shift to Immigration Under Attorney General Pam Bondi, the DOJ abandoned a record number of cases — including hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime and drugs — in just the first six months of President Donald Trump’s second term.

Elon Musk and DOGE said they were going to root out waste, fraud and abuse.

But during that time, Trump's DOJ dropped OVER 900 criminal cases of fraud.

For Trump and Musk, it was never about rooting out waste.

It was always about corruption and power.

James Talarico: Republicans have been attacking me by taking something I say about the border and cutting it off mid-sentence. I have said throughout the whole campaign that our southern border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front AND a lock on the door.

Corpus Christi says new developments should delay water crisis The city manager said the city received permits to pump more groundwater and will avoid water reductions from a shrinking reservoir for now, pushing a potential water crisis to July.

This story is really underreported outside of Texas. Corpus Christi residents and industry are about to lose its water. That means jet fuel will not be produced out of CC, which will have massive consequences.

Let's treat THC like alcohol. Regulate it. Test it. Let Veterans use it rather than opioids. Let businesses that are currently prospering continue to prosper. We don't need a nanny state. We need adults to be treated like adults. Vote for sensible regulation - vote for Vikki. #GoodWin4Texas

Worms in food, poor medical care, lights on 24/7: Families tell of life in Texas detention center When ICE officers in Minneapolis detained a 5-year-old boy and his father last month and sent them to a Texas detention center, many Americans were alarmed.

"She said she didn’t want to live anymore because she preferred to die rather than having to keep living in confinement.”

Hundreds of young children and families face cruel conditions while detained at Dilley Detention Center near San Antonio.

No one should be forced to live this way.

I figured the Whipple building was named after some long forgotten politician.

Didn't expect it to be named after an Episcopal Bishop who was well known for advocating for immigrants and Native Americans.

Yet another reckless attempt by the Trump Administration to deface one of America’s crown jewels — Big Bend National Park in West Texas.

As Pecos County Judge Joe Shuster put it plainly, “Nobody wants this damn wall. It serves no purpose.”
