Lessons abound

Russia was focused “in a bipartisan way” on trying to harm American politicians who had been supportive of Ukraine. The video targeting Talarico appeared as Steve Witkoff visited Moscow as pressing for an end to the war in Ukraine and, more broadly, tensions between the US and Russia.

These will be framed in the Smithsonian one day to showcase America at its very lowest.

NEW: A new audit by the U.S. Postal Service’s Office of Inspector General found a lack of training for post office staff, deficiencies in how ballots were tracked and errors leading to delays. Experts say it raises questions ahead of the midterms.

Elon Musk’s DOGE officially ended over the weekend. Never forget the damage and chaos DOGE left behind.

A $3 @mta.info subway fare and some good Q train timing can buy you one hell of a view of the July 4th fireworks and the Brooklyn Bridge light show! Huge shoutout to the train operator for slow rolling over the Manhattan Bridge and the conductor for announcing it.

Switzerland mandated in 2023 that all new buildings exceeding 300 square metres of roof area must install solar panels covering a minimum percentage of that surface — the most aggressive building-integrated solar mandate in continental Europe #ActOnClimate #SolarPower #Renewables

BREAKING: A 43-year-old has died in ICE custody, marking the 19th death in immigration detention this year and at a pace on track to exceed last year’s deaths in detention.

Sounds like things are not going well in Orange County, California, where 10,000 people have been told to evacuate because of a toxic chemical leak at the GKN Aerospace facility.

NEW: The tobacco company Reynolds American donated $5M to the Trump-backed super PAC MAGA Inc. on 4/30/2026. 8 days later, the Trump administration rolled out a new policy that could be very lucrative for Reynolds by allowing it to begin selling flavored vapes.

‘F around and find out’ is still the Democrats’ position on redistricting and is even more so our position after the SCOTUS ruling. Hakeem Jeffries is talking about a scenario when Illinois, Maryland, Colorado, and New York are totally blue. We could get 52 seats in California.

We are very far off the cliff here folks. 🇺🇸 www.reuters.com/world/us/lou...

Federal agents “took off his pants and shirt, handcuffed him, and drove him 65 kilometers to the U.S. District Court in Greenbelt, Maryland, where he was fingerprinted, photographed, and jailed.” Sounds… fascist.

Today, Iran’s FM Araghchi arrived on Moscow, where he met with Russian President Putin.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is one of the nation’s best-known anti-racism groups—and accusing it of “manufacturing racism to justify its existence” (as acting AG Todd Blanche claimed on Tuesday) is akin to claiming that anti-abortion groups are secretly funding abortion clinics. trib.al/r51N51e

Pope Leo visited a prison in Equatorial Guinea that human rights groups say holds political prisoners in abusive conditions on April 22, the last full day of his four-nation Africa tour. reut.rs/4e4i4FU

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

every player should have a body cam smh

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on: #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Heather Cox Richardson has a larger audience than almost any dudefluencer. More informed. Better values & policy preferences. And yet there are no profiles, no elevation or lionization, because there's *nothing* US media is less interested in than middle-aged lib women. No diner interviews for them.

From Florida special election upsets to Trump's plummeting approval ratings to millions showing up for No Kings rallies, this week sent a clear message: voters are engaged, organized, and paying attention. thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/week-progr...

The stupidest war in history, being waged by the stupidest president in history.

"75% of the cases brought against the Trump administration... We've won. Because what they're doing is so unlawful." Senator @amyklobuchar.com speaks to Zeteo's @swin24.bsky.social at the No Kings rally in Minnesota. More at zeteo.com.

This should be an impeachable offense. I understand that we’re way past any of that, but that shouldn’t stop us from naming it.

No Kings. Find your event for this Saturday, March 28th. www.nokings.org #NoKings

There's a very real possibility that Iran got our playbook after Trump stole it and hid it at Mar-a-Lago before he returned to office. Knowing him he probably doesn't even remember.

A federal judge in Washington will allow a lawsuit to go forward that accuses billionaire Elon Musk of unconstitutionally exercising executive power during his time in the Trump administration last year as a presidential adviser

Damn, Gerry Baker. 👀

Trump: Our economy was fantastic. We had the Dow at 50,000. Then I called Pete Hegseth about Iran.

Not so long ago, hugging Hitler was one of those lines you just didn’t cross. But that’s what’s been happening with increasing regularity, revealed by a recent string of unhinged text chains among young Republicans. Read @johnavlon.bsky.social commentary: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

looks like we traded generations of healthcare for 4 days worth of missiles

Sickening racism from a sitting senator. The Ogles hate is contagious. You’re either calling this out or normalizing it. There’s no third option.

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

I've also been watching all these depositions and every time I try to write about it I just get angrier, so glad Joseph got something out about it.

The White House is working to dredge up another election conspiracy with eight months on the clock until midterms. trib.al/hRSGfpt

Can't we convince a couple more people to do this? www.axios.com/2026/03/09/r...

Imagine if Democrats had done this to a veteran....24/7 news and outrage on right-wing channels.

The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. We want to hear your story.

So, in launching a huge bombing campaign on Iran they apparently didn't plan for: - Who takes over; - Interceptor shortages from sustained drone retaliation; - How to defend US bases in the region; - Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and - How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

Reagan appointed judge: "If nobody’s going to enforce the Constitution, it becomes like the Constitution of Russia." Genuine conservatives within the judiciary stand as one of the final bulwarks against authoritarian rule in America.

Ban Polymarket. It’s immoral and will corrupt our foreign policy decisions and likely has already.

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.

Ossoff: "The president owes Americans a real explanation. 2am posts on Truth Social just aren't good enough when you're sending Americans into combat. He was dancing at his beach club the same night he ordered air crews to launch into combat & hours before our service members endured missile salvos"
