I’m not a big fan of Gavin Newsom, but on this, he is absolutely on point, and I AM a big fan of credit where credit is due.

Trump has turned the White House into a 24/7 corruption operation. This is a national crisis.
Trump thinks the public will stop paying attention.
So I went to the Senate floor to call his bluff. I told the ENTIRE STORY of his 500 days of corruption.
1/ Here it is - in one🧵
I’ve been thinking a lot about the extraordinary outbursts of the President of the United States against female journalists... well, actually against journalists in general and journalism. But it feels like he saves his most childlike behavior and irrational language for female reporters, calling them all kinds of names that kids in kindergarten are given times out for. It’s stunning to me to witness such behavior from any leader, any CEO, any person of influence or importance. I’ve never witnessed someone like this raging, this weekend with @meetthepress host @kwelkernbc, just last week in the Oval Office with @cnn’s @kaitlancollins, calling women stupid or piggy, telling them to “smile”, calling them darling, demeaning their credibility. Every good man should denounce this behavior. Every person should be able to stand up for their colleagues and say “No more.”
Imagine this man screaming like this at your daughter, your wife, your sister, your mother... would you stand for it? No, you wouldn’t! And neither should any of us. It’s unacceptable and undignified. Period. End of story.
OMG everyone needs to listen up this young Harvard Graduate’s Speech because this young man is going to make a difference in this World & how we as humans see others no matter what their background is.This literally brought me to tears because of what is happening in the World.
🚨 do you understand what happened to Stephen Colbert..
24 hours after his final Late Show, Colbert hijacked a tiny public access channel in Monroe, Michigan with Jack White, Eminem, Jeff Daniels and Steve Buscemi.
Now Paramount - the company that just cancelled his show - is mass-blocking every reupload worldwide via Content ID. And the deeper you dig, the worse it looks:
- The finale pulled 6.74M viewers - a weeknight record over 11 years
- Eminem cameoed as "Marshall, the fire marshal" to greenlight torching the set
- The same day Trump posted an AI video of throwing Colbert into a dumpster, Colbert aired footage of himself burning a real one
- Mayday Network and verified journalist Matthew Keys both got blocked globally - for sharing a community access show
Paramount cancelled his show to silence him. Instead they handed him a Streisand-effect comeback 10x bigger than the show ever was.
Bayer is a German chemical company. They make Roundup. Roundup gives people non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Bayer has paid over $11 billion in cancer lawsuits.
This week, Congress is going to vote on a bill that gives Bayer permanent immunity from being sued by Americans who get cancer from their product.
Here is how it happened. 🧵
NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s close ally Cardinal Robert McElroy received a standing ovation at the end of his homily, where he called on Catholics to take up civic action to help end the “immoral” war against Iran.
“When we leave this church tonight, we must move beyond prayer. As citizens and believers in this democracy that we cherish so deeply, we must advocate for peace with our representatives and leaders.
“It is not enough to say we have prayed. We must also act. For it is very possible that the negotiations will fail because of recalcitrance on both sides, and the president will move to re-enter this immoral war.
“At that critical juncture, as disciples of Jesus Christ called to be peacemakers in the world, we must answer vocally and in unison:
“No. Not in our name. Not at this moment. Not with our country.”
Dua Lipa on the Epstein files:
“The way the crimes have been reported does such a disservice to the victims. Stories talk about underage girls and sex parties rather than writing about victims who are children who were trafficked and raped. It’s almost putting everything under a veil to protect — I don’t know — the reader, or to mask what is actually happening.”
She’s right.
Language is not neutral.
“Sex parties” obscures child rape.
“Underage girls” obscures child victims.
“Jeffery Epstein’s associates” obscures child traffickers.
“Controversial financier” obscures a convicted sex offender.
The media’s language choices for 20 years protected the powerful and erased the children.
The Deputy AG admitted withholding footage of “death, physical abuse, and injury.”
Half of 6 million documents remain sealed.
The House Oversight Committee just subpoenaed Pam Bondi for April 14th.
Thomas Massie is threatening to read the names on the House floor.
A prison guard who was there the night Epstein died testifies before Congress this month.
Dua Lipa said what every journalist covering this should have said years ago.
They were children.
Say that part.
Never stop connecting the dots.
NEW: The Trump-Vance White House has falsely accused an ally of Pope Leo — Sister Norma Pimentel — of illegal activity tied to migrant aid, and cut off all federal funding to Catholic Charities in south Texas.
Church leaders say it’s a targeted, political reprisal against Pope Leo and the Catholic Church. https://t.co/tnS95BxZvr

“in January, a month after the EPA’s ban on TCE was finalized, the Trump administration moved to undo it, even as new evidence emerged of Parkinson’s clusters in the rust belt, where exposure to trichloroethylene is high.”
The grand irony of our time:
A bunch of wealthy elites ran a populist campaign promising to rid the government of being run by a bunch of wealthy elites only to win and install a bunch of their own wealthy elites to run the government to benefit a bunch of wealthy elites.
