Run into ground by incompetents and looters who now need to close the Center for “repairs” as cover. www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/04/10/kennedy-center-layoffs-trump-closure/

Legal eagles noticed, and there’s been SOME mainstream coverage. But overall the political class has underreacted to this month’s OLC opinion, ordered up by Trump or on his behalf, declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional. Things are likely being stolen and/or destroyed *right now*.

Obviously it's completely unseemly that they're hoping to bribe Hungarians to vote for Orban. But it's also just bizarre - Orban does nothing for America, but he does a lot for Russia. Why is this Trump's priority? (It's okay, you don't need to answer.)

We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war.

Art of the deal, baby.

Iran sent a team of 30 including university professors, scientists, diplomats, PhDs. The American delegation includes no diplomats, but lots of relatives of Trump and real estate developers.

As primaries are approaching we need a candidate who will fight and end this Supreme Court as we know it and give us back a real functioning court. Without this we will be going nowhere.

The question needs to be addressed by Congress. But they’re too cowardly. No Balls. No Spines. He’s a convicted felon, a fraudster and a Rapist.

Your daily reminder that if voting requires a $165 passport, that’s a poll tax…

We made those unconstitutional in 1964.

It’s been over three days now since our president threatened to nuke an entire nation after starting a war with that nation for no discernible reason. And Congress still has not moved to impeach him. And Corporate Media™️ has forgotten.

We are a failed democracy. No other way to describe it.

Mood in Budapest this morning: opposition Tisza supporters waving to cars as they encourage people to vote tomorrow. Orban is set to lose big time. If you can feel the wind of change, follow me

My craziest idea regarding elections is to take all the money out of it. No candidate should have more money than another. No more campaign commercials, only debates, interviews and town halls answering questions.

I don't think we should even know which party they affiliate with.

I will vote for the Presidential candidate who campaigns on reversing Citizens United, taxing corporations and the wealthy the same percentage as the middle class, and establishing Medicare for all. I will vote twice for the same Presidential candidate who comes through on these promises.

Rev. Al Sharpton founded the National Action Network in 1991. More than three decades later, the fight for dignity, opportunity, and justice has taken new forms, and the work is more important than ever.

Thank you, Reverend, for convening us and for hosting today’s fireside chat at #NANCONV2026.

Reports make it fairly clear that ICE detention facilities are worse than most US prisons. And for the most part they're crammed full of people who haven't been convicted of any crime.

Is it any wonder?

I have always been a huge fan of Dolly Parton. We're the same age, same height, share the same values, but she can sing better. And she has more Grammys. I've always wanted to meet her!

Trump: "Russia wants to see Ukraine succeed. Sounds a little strange, but President Putin was very generous in his feeling toward Ukraine succeeding.”

Zelenskyy deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for not punching Trump in the nose for saying the country that invaded Ukraine was being "very generous."

In his first 100 days, Zohran Mamdani has:

-Delivered millions in restitution for workers cheated by gig companies
-Cracked down on predatory landlords
-Launched the first stage of a universal childcare program
-Fixed thousands of potholes in NYC streets

This is what leadership looks like.
