President Donald Trump has, for months, wanted to remove Jerome Powell as chair of the Federal Reserve. But instead, an investigation by one of his own officials could end up extending Powell's time at the top of the central bank even after his term formally ends May 15. to.pbs.org/4dvXgXp

Reminder: Trump’s Big Ugly Bill added more to the national debt than any other single piece of legislation in history—all so Bezos can buy another mega yacht.

BREAKING: Trump’s ICE just threw a 7-year-old Canadian girl with autism and her mom into one of their worst prisons for NO REASON WHATSOEVER! Edward Warner, an American citizen from Kingsville, Texas, was driving home with his Tania Warner and their daughter, Ayla Lucas, from a baby shower when all of a sudden they were stopped at a border patrol checkpoint and demanded to see their papers. Tania showed them her Texas driver’s license, work visa, and actual visa, informing the goons that she was a Lawful Alien Allowed to Work, as Tania is originally from British Columbia. “I presented mine and she presented her Texas driver’s licence, her work visa and her actual visa,” Edward, who is American, told CTV News. “After that, they took her in, saying that they needed to fingerprint her to get more information, and she never came back out.” The goon squad said there was an “error” with Tania’s Employment Authorization Document and needed to send their fingerprints to Border Patrol headquarters in Washington, who refused to let them go. “It’s scary, it’s really frustrating, especially when they have paperwork that’s good, and it doesn’t come up in the system as being good. It didn’t come up as having paperwork at all,” said Edward to the Canadian media. Tania and Ayla were thrown into the gulag at the Rio Grande Valley Central Processing Center in McAllen, Texas, a site notorious for housing little kids in chain-link cages during Trump’s first term. “It’s no place for a seven-year-old to be,” Edward said. “They’re using, like, space blankets in order to cover up. She’s having to use the mat from the floor to get a proper cover to keep warm. This food is terrible … it’s overcrowded, very loud, and they’re just very stressed out right now,” he said of what he’s hearing from his family, adding that they’ve only been able to have two short phone calls a day. This is what happens when you build a machine designed to incarcerate people for profit with no regard to the law or to basic human decency. There’s a private prison company making a fat profit off of locking up this poor little girl and her mother and an evil bald man in the White House, Stephen Miller, ordering the Border Patrol to fill quotas of arrestees, no matter who they are or whether they deserve to be thrown into a disgusting prison, served mouldy food, and forced to sleep under bright lights on piss-soaked floors. Tania and Ayla and every other innocent child in these camps need to be freed, IMMEDIATELY, and their cells filled with the men responsible for this absolute miscarriage of justice.

Pam Bondi's fake briefing on Epstein was shameful. She's clearly trying to get out of her real hearing that will be transcribed and UNDER OATH. We won't participate in these games, and we look forward to her deposition—which is required by our bipartisan subpoena and the law.

Rep. Cohen: How many days before we invaded Iran did you know we would launch an invasion? A month? Kash Patel: Some time before that Cohen: With that knowledge, why did you fire a dozen agents in the counterintelligence unit that specializes in Iran? Patel: I don't work on timelines when these terminations occur

In 24 years, there have only been 77 identified cases of noncitizens voting out of hundreds of millions of votes cast. The SAVE Act isn't about election security It's about keeping Americans from voting. @SenSanders

While Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are showing unprecedented disregard for the basic Constitutional rights of Americans, the last thing we should be doing is handing them massive surveillance powers they will abuse. ktla.com/hill-politics/…

When the President is so unbalanced that his own Director of National Intel is afraid to answer threat assessment questions honestly, America is in danger. "Why do you guys even have a job?" BRAVO to @RepJimmyGomez for not buying the BS. Our own President is an imminent threat.

Donald Trump has endorsed Michael Whatley for the Senate. A reminder that Michael Whatley knowingly appointed convicted child sex offender Harvey Lee West for leadership roles at the North Carolina state GOP party. West was imprisoned for charges of statutory rape involving three girls, two aged 14 and one aged 16. Michael Whatley also didn't want the Epstein files released.

The most sacred clause in the Constitution may be the war making clause. Our founding fathers are turning in their grave watching this Republican Congress allow one man lead us into a disastrous, incompetently run war.

The former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, just issued a direct call to the American people: “I will not in good conscience send young men and women off to die on foreign battlefields. We’re at a critical juncture. We need to let our leaders hear that we do not support this war.” This is not a protester. This is not a Democrat. This is not the media. This is the man whose entire job was to assess threats to America. Who confirmed Iran had no nuclear program. Who confirmed there was no intelligence of an imminent threat. Who confirmed the war was started due to Israel lobby pressure. Who confirmed the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s death was stopped. Who resigned rather than be complicit. And now he is asking the American people to speak. Call your representative. Call your senator. Make them hear you. 14 Americans dead. $21 billion spent. An F-35 hit for the first time in history. Funerals now secret. Casualty counts hidden. Zero allied warships. The world walking away. The man who knew the most just told you what he thinks. Now it’s your turn.

A federal judge finds that ICE improperly put an ankle monitor on a released detainee and is using "coercive conditions to terrorize" the man into accepting return to Nicaragua, where he claims to have been tortured. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

You think you have a handle on how much Republicans hate the American people but you honestly have no idea

George Conway on Trump: “We can’t last 34 more months of what we’ve seen in the last 14. We’re f*cked if this guy serves out his term.“

the country is at war and the president is peacing out for another weekend at his private club in Florida that he'll spend with his paying customers

Good! Anyone and everyone perpetrating a fraud should be held accountable — from the local level to the federal level.

Huge thanks to the incredible medical team at Jabal Amel Hospital in Tyre for patching me up after yesterday’s I$raeli airstrike. Paramedics, doctors, nurses and support staff here are true heroes — working under relentless pressure, with more than 30 emergency workers killed by I$rael since March 2. Even after the hospital itself was badly damaged in a recent strike, they refuse to abandon their patients and courageously remain in the field.

I feel like someone needs to send an email to all Justice Department employees to remind them: investigating private citizens to exact political revenge is, itself, a federal crime.

Senator Wyden found JPMorgan Chase failed to report over $1 billion in suspicious transactions linked to Epstein. He asked Treasury Secretary Bessent for the records. Bessent refuses. DOJ is blocking the files. Treasury is blocking the money trail.

Meanwhile none of the men in the epstein files are facing charges for raping and killing kids.
