Breaking news: Multiple scientists who serve on an independent board established to guide the nation’s nearly $9 billion basic science funding agency were terminated from their positions Friday by President Trump. wapo.st/4eDLPO4

“I told her, ‘I’m next to you.’ She told me, ‘Don’t fall asleep and leave me.’ I said, ‘No, no.’ Then exhaustion took over. I closed my eyes for a moment. Then I heard Amal scream. They struck the room again. Amal was gone.” Reporter Zeinab Faraj recounts the harrowing hours her and journalist Amal Khalil waited for evacuation, as Israeli strikes pursued them, while preventing rescuers from reaching them.

ISRAELI DESTROYING SOLAR PANELS IN CHRISTIAN VILLAGE IN DEBIL IN LEBANON This is there only way to get electricity.

🚨 Rachel Maddow nailed it: Republicans just voluntarily gave Jack Smith the biggest platform in Congress to spell out in public, under oath every piece of evidence of Trump’s criminal behavior. What an absolutely brain-dead own-goal. The evidence, the documents, the witnesses, the recordings… all coming straight from the man who investigated him. This is going to be brutal. 🍿

There goes freedom of the press and expression.

Trump’s own words last week: “We can’t take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things.” This week, he says he’s ready to bail out the United Arab Emirates. The man who ran on America First is telling American families they’re on their own while offering a financial lifeline to a wealthy Gulf state whose sovereign wealth fund has poured billions into his family’s businesses. Can’t afford day care. Can’t afford healthcare. Can’t afford to help families keep the heat on. Can afford a bailout for the UAE. Tell me again who America First was supposed to be for. nytimes.com/2026/04/22/us/…

Eric Trump gets a massive Pentagon contract. Melania gets a movie. Donald Trump gets millions in payouts and crypto. They’re all cashing in. And the corruption is killing our economy.

Before it even opened, Sloth World saw 31 sloths die after being kept in unsafe conditions. I’ve called on the Secretary of Agriculture and USDA to investigate Sloth World, protect any surviving sloths, and prevent more from being brought in. We cannot allow this to continue.

Earlier this week, I visited the "Dead Sea of Texas" - Lake Boehmer, in Pecos County. Don't be fooled, this 'water' is highly toxic and this 'lake' is a massive environmental disaster. The RRC *should* be fighting to address this - but instead they let this leak go on for years:

This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America. A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts. In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention. Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump family’s deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it. This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it. nytimes.com/2026/04/19/us/…

Yesterday, journalist Amal Khalil was struck by an IDF airstrike while she was reporting in southern Lebanon. As rescuers tried to save her life, they were fired upon.

Khalil is the 9th journalist killed by Israeli strikes in Lebanon this year.

I join the Committee to Protect Journalists & others in demanding an international investigation and accountability for her death. apnews.com/article/lebane…

Last year, Trump & Republicans cut Medicaid & the ACA by $1 TRILLION under the guise of "fighting fraud."

Yet Trump has issued 15 pardons to healthcare execs & others who defrauded $2 BILLION from taxpayers. 
Kicking millions off their care while actual fraudsters get off free.

The Trump family has made $4 billion off the presidency. Crypto: $3.02B Persian Gulf deals: $425.8M Qatari jet: $150M Legal fees/merch: $127.7M Mar-a-Lago: $125M Corporate deals: $91M Hanoi hotel: $40M Truth Social: $25M Don Jr: $19.6M Unprecedented kleptocracy.

On EarthDay, remember: Earth isn’t just ours—it belongs to every living creature. When habitats disappear, so do they.

An unexpected rush hour past the rush hour with our sheep & donkeys

If you're wondering why the Senate is in session at midnight, it's because Republicans are trying to jam through at least $70 billion for ICE with no accountability. $70 billion for ICE. $0 to help families. $0 to help lower costs. What a disgrace. I'm voting NO.

Today, Sec Bessent revealed that the Trump Admin plans to send BILLIONS of dollars to help other countries keep their economies afloat while ignoring needs here at home. Once again, the 'America First' president is focused everywhere except the wallets of working Americans.

This should be making international headlines. Every alarm bell known to mankind should be ringing. This is dangerous and genuinely catastrophic
