I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Hassett is so embarrassing. Nice questioning here by Jon Karl.
Holy shit -- Kevin Hassett completely bombs on ABC when pressed by Jon Karl to explain how Trump can possibly justify 50% tariffs on Brazil even though the country has a trade *deficit* with the US

The at home assassination of a state lawmaker should be getting a bigger reaction from the President than someone throwing a rock at a Tesla dealership.

Senate Judiciary Republicans are holding a sham hearing now. If you want to talk about a President’s state of mind, consider this mess.

In normal times, DOJ wins most of its cases because it has the resources to ensure that presidential actions are lawful. But under Trump, the Department is run by a sycophantic election denying enabler. The result is DOJ's credibility with judges is in tatters and it is losing case after case.

The even more consequential exchange in the Billy Long (IRS nominee) hearing.
WYDEN: Did you promise any tax promoter you would help them if you got confirmed?
LONG: I can answer that with an affirmative no
W: So you didn't meet w/ anybody when you were in town for the inauguration & promise help?
L: Not that I can think of. And I had food poisoning
W: We have it on tape

When opposition to “nationwide injunctions” becomes a rightwing article of faith then SCOTUS takes inappropriate vehicles to try and end it (birthright citizenship case) and Republican members of Congress write ham-fisted bills.

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...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.
