Tesla
United Airlines
Disney

When a King and direct descendent of King George III has to remind the American government about the utmost importance of checks and balances, you know we're in deep trouble.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Russia continues to launch waves of terrorist attacks against Ukraine, on April 4–5 alone, 93 drones targeted residential areas including Odesa. Russia willingly strikes civilians in a psychotic symphony of death and destruction as revenge for its battlefield impotence.

LEE: I asked Chairman Comer, if Pam Bondi did not come, would he force her to or if he would move for contempt hearings as he did for other people who did not respond to our subpoena? Instead of answering as an adult, he said that I was “bitching”

Joe Kent says the last thing Charlie Kirk said to him was “stop us from getting into a war with Iran.” He then suggests that Israel may have been behind Kirk getting killed and says the National Counterterrorism unit was blocked from investigating an Israel connection by the FBI.

Washington just passed a “millionaire tax,” after Massachusetts passed its own in 2022.

New Mexico enacted universal childcare last year.

And organizers in Montana and California are advancing a ballot measure that would get corporate money out of politics.

We still have power to fix the system.

Spain’s Foreign Minister Albares, calls out Karoline Leavitt on her lie that Spain had agreed to cooperate with the US in its illegal war:

“She may be the White House spokesperson, but I am Spain’s Foreign Minister, and I can assure you that our position remains unchanged.”

Just a random reminder that over 50 members of Congress collectively own millions of dollars in defense contractor stocks.

They stand to personally profit from wars that enrich these contractors.

Make no mistake, this is legalized corruption.

Watch how they vote this week.

Netanyahu on how Israel is different from Iran: "Here's the difference ... these mass murderers in Tehran target civilians."

Netanyahu is wanted for crimes against humanity, including the murder of between 75,000 and 186,000 civilians, at least 20,000 children or babies.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

A son of sharecroppers, a Freedom Rider, a moral force in Congress, John Lewis taught us that democracy is not a state, it is an act. When we see injustice, we do not look away. We get in good trouble. And we build bridges despite adversity. Happy Heavenly Birthday, Congressman.

Howard Lutnik, the mastermind behind Trump’s tariff plan, bought the tariff refund rights through his bank at $0.25 on the dollar last year. Actively betting on his own policy to not work.
