Colin Kaepernick started a national dialogue. Lost his job so demonstrable evidence of institutional racism would be taken to the forefront.

Ossoff: Last September, the President of Kazakhstan calls Donald Trump and says he wants to grant tungsten mining rights to an American company. And the very next month, Eric and Don Jr. get a stake in the American company pursuing the mining deal.

Six days later, six days after Prince Eric and Prince Don get their stake, Kazakhstan announces this company will get, “The largest known undeveloped tungsten resource in the world.” A few more weeks go by, and then the U.S. government, run by their father, sets aside 1.6 billion of your tax dollars to fund and finance their mining project. In Kazakhstan.

All this while you pay more for gas, for groceries, for health care, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

At 4am, Senate Republicans gave the greenlight for the IRS to drop ALL investigations into Trump and his family.

That means if Trump is evading taxes, we’ll never know.

I have a bill to make this illegal. And I won’t stop fighting to get it done.

This New York Times piece is worth your time. Here’s what is happening, as simply as I can put it.

Back in January, Trump sued the IRS, an agency he controls, demanding $10 billion over the leak of his tax returns a number of years ago.

IRS lawyers did their jobs. They wrote a memo laying out the defenses that could beat the suit, including the fact that Trump filed too late. His own lawyer was in court when the leaker pleaded guilty in October 2023, more than two years before Trump sued.

The Justice Department never showed up to court. Never argued back. Never used the defenses sitting on their desk.

The judge got suspicious and ordered both sides to explain whether they were actually opposing each other or just colluding. The day before that brief was due, Trump dropped the suit.

Same day, his Justice Department announced a $1.776 billion taxpayer-funded “anti-weaponization fund.” 

Trump gets a formal apology. The IRS agrees to drop any audits of him and his family, even though a 2024 Times report found a loss in an ongoing audit could cost him over $100 million.

The acting Attorney General, Trump’s former criminal defense attorney, picks the five commissioners who decide who gets paid. Trump can fire any of them. Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are not ruled out.

This is the most corrupt thing I’ve ever seen from an American president.

Where in the hell are my Republican colleagues?

If you aren’t drafting for need, you should be drafting BPA. RB in 3 is killing me. Underwhelmed tbh.

5 years ago, Democrats introduced a bill to ban gerrymandering in every state nationwide.

Every single Republican voted against it.

[Tristan Snell @TristanSnell]

GOP - *gerrymanders*

DEMS - hey stop that no fair

GOP - *gerrymanders even more*

DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue

SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely*

DEMS - *start gerrymandering*

GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭

One month after starting the war in Iran, this is the statement of the President of the United States on Easter Sunday.

These are the ravings of a dangerous and mentally unbalanced individual. Congress has got to act NOW. End this war.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion.

For $22.8 billion, we could:

• Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids
• Build 2.6 million public housing units
• Fund Head Start for 1.3 million
• Hire 240,000 teachers
• Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers

[rese @ATTYHARRIS]

so Trump just replaced Kristi Noem, who didn’t have a law degree, with Markwayne Mullin, who doesn’t even have a bachelor’s degree, as DHS secretary

and they have the nerve to call well-educated, overqualified Black women “DEI hires”?

oh the irony

🚨BREAKING NEWS

American economist Jeffrey Sachs:

"Trump is a complete disgrace to our nation.

Congress is effectively dead. They're all on the payroll of the Zionist lobby.

150 schoolgirls were bombed by Israel. Nobody even talks about that."

[Siddharth @DearthOfSid]

US: “It was a preemptive attack on Iran”

Pentagon: “No sign that Iran was going to attack first”

US: “No but if Israel attacked Iran, then Iran would have attacked us, so we preemptively attacked them first” 🤡

This is beyond satire.
