Republicans hate me because I fight hard and I refuse to be held back by norms and rules that the GOP ignore. If Republicans try to gerrymander another 5 seats in Texas, Democrats should gerrymander 30 more seats in states they control.

Meiselas: Here's audio of Maria Farmer, one of Epstein's victims, who came forward early on...She speaks about an incident where she was going to Epstein's office building. Trump was in the office building, she says, and Epstein tells Trump, “That one's not for you. Yours is in the other room.”

See you at 1 AM, yes, you read that right, when Republicans take up the spending bill, which includes
a provision that would restrict courts from holding gov’t officials in contempt for violating court orders—possibly explaining the subterfuge. www.justsecurity.org/113529/terri...

In 2024, Biden signed into law a $105 billion measure designed to end a shortfall in air traffic controllers.

In 2025, Trump came in and instead began firing hundreds of them.

So you can see how *clear* it is that Biden is to blame for the shortage now.

Internal messages reveal Martin not only wrote posts under fake or borrowed names, but also trained others to flood comment sections and social media with coordinated attacks, coaching them on timing, phrasing, and how to make posts appear “organic” to evade detection and moderation.

If you thought Operation Whirlwind couldn’t get any more unhinged, think again. Ed Martin has been caught ghostwriting online posts attacking judges, including both federal and state officials overseeing cases tied to Trump and his allies.

Kudos to Rep. Robert Garcia for being one of the FIRST to call out the Trump admin's sickening silence on the Venezuelan asylum seekers vanished into Bukele’s CECOT torture prison.

While others looked away, Garcia demanded justice—for Kilmar, Frengel, and every innocent locked in that hell.

The Trump administration is planning to collect on student loans in default — including by garnishing wages for over 5 million borrowers.

That's after enacting tariffs that will increase the cost of basic goods and could lead to a recession.

What could go wrong?

The President of El Salvador referred to having to “smuggle” Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a man with no criminal record, back into the US. Odd, how Romania didn't have to “smuggle” alleged rapist and sex trafficker Andrew Tate back into the United States. Trump facilitated that Trump fan's return.

1. The North Carolina Supreme Court just TOSSED 260 BALLOTS in a razor close election for a seat on the same court

The ballots were invalidated based on a claim by the Republican candidate that all of voters were "never residents" of North Carolina

But that claim is false

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
