You have got to be kidding me.
The State Department is putting Donald Trump’s scowling face on the U.S. passport.
His signature in gold. Superimposed over the Declaration of Independence, a document literally written to get away from this exact behavior.
No sitting president has ever done this. Coins, park passes, battleships, and now your passport. The man cannot find a surface he will not slap his name or face on.
This is not patriotism.
It is vanity.

Former prosecutor here. Did lots of work with ATF in gun cases. This is just embarrassing.

Blanche says evidence recovery is "not an exact science" and that when weapons are fired [inside a hotel], "sometimes you find the bullet, and sometimes it just disappears." 🤔

Here’s what we see while on the road today.
Ohioans all across the state right now are having to decide whether they can afford to fill up their tank, get groceries, and pay their rent. These gas prices are piling onto an already unaffordable cost of living. People need relief.

Women overall make up more than *80%* of workers in those jobs. This is a critical moment for policymakers and advocates to engage women workers about what they want and need as AI reshapes their work and livelihoods. nationalpartnership.org/report/ai-emer…

Perhaps one of the most striking moments in the king's speech came when he reminded lawmakers that the Magna Carta, cited repeatedly by the U.S. Supreme Court over the years, advanced the foundational principle that "executive power is subject to checks and balances."

Reports are that a shooter is dead outside the Correspondent’s Dinner.
If a gunman actually got that close to one of the most secure events of the year, this yet another inexcusable security lapse.

God. Wolf Blitzer says the gun shots went off directly near him and a police officer threw him to the ground. Called it a “major weapon.”
The shooter is dead and now the dinner will resume shortly like it never happened. That seems really strange.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Shots have reportedly been fired at the White House Correspondents dinner. Trump and Melania have been evacuated. This situation is developing.

A shooter was killed at the White House Correspondents Dinner after firing off several rounds. trump was evacuated.
I've said this before and I'll say it again: the ONLY way to defeat him is politically, at the ballot box.
I despise him, but violence is NEVER the answer.

Why was Vivek forced to loan his campaign $25M?
Because he spent 80% of what he raised on things like jet setting to Puerto Rico with TikTok stars, and he has nothing to show for it.
Ohio is not for sale.
Dr. Amy Acton@amyactonoh
We outraised a billionaire. Here’s why. My campaign is powered by the people. It’s rooted in the promise of making Ohioans’ lives more affordable after decades of special interest leadership that has done nothing but take us backwards. I’m running for governor because I refuse to look the other way.

Smart political move. Takes it to the Rs. Everyone is seeing Trump fall apart in real time. Make his party vote, or at least refuse to vote on this measure, and keep the issue live for the election.
Hungary seems to be inspiring people here too.

Gee, Pope Leo is a U.S. citizen with every bit as much right to speak about America as JD Vance has. That’s the First Amendment—the same one protecting convicted felon Donald Trump’s blasphemous impersonation of Jesus Christ and attacks on the Pope as “soft on crime.” The Pope has a much larger audience for his views in America (or Hungary!) than JD Vance.

In his second term, Trump seems even less restrained and more incoherent at times. He uses more profanity, speaks longer, regularly makes comments rooted in fantasy rather than fact, wanders off into odd tangents and shocks even allies with his outbursts. nytimes.com/2026/04/13/us/…

JUST IN: The Justice Department is moving to vacate the seditious conspiracy convictions of Proud Boys leaders who led hundreds of allies to the Capitol on Jan. 6.
They had previously had lengthy sentences commuted, but not pardoned, by Trump.

Mark Warner says he’s “terrified” that the admin might “do anything” to intervene in the coming election.
“If we get off the notion of a free and fair election, I don't know how we ever return to that."
Seems like this is 'sowing doubt' @ThisWeekABC maybe you should mention it this Sunday

Stephanopoulos, today: Trump is trying to sow doubt about election results. Pelosi, last week: Republicans may try to “creep into the technology" and create a false vote count.

#BREAKING: Legendary #Maddow: "...this is the warning that Sen Warner has just hoisted: 'Trump is trying to override our voting system...allies of Trump's working in coordination with people close to the White House have circulated a draft executive order that would declare a national emergency based on false claims of foreign interference in the 2020 election. That declaration would be used to unlock sweeping presidential powers over how Americans vote...The proposal would allow the federal government to bar widely used voting methods, including mail ballots...'"😳

Breaking NYT:
The Trump Justice Department is investigating Cassidy Hutchison, the star witness against Trump during the Jan. 6 Committee hearings.
Pam Bondi opened the probe as she was trying to shore up her shaky standing.
Some DOJ officials have questioned whether there's even a viable case against Hutchison.

🚨BREAKING: Lawrence O'Donnell looked America in the eye tonight and said on live TV what many are thinking about Donald Trump's profane, perverse, filthy outburst on Easter Sunday to commit war crimes.
"The 25th Amendment was written for yesterday at 8:03am."

WOW! Former CIA Director John Brennan just humiliated Donald Trump in front of millions of Americans watching their gas prices and grocery bills soar through the roof as the economy pushes recession levels.
He called Trump a pathological liar, incompetent and deeply corrupt.
Brennan made it clear Trump had no real reason besides financial gain to start this war to begin with, and now he has no real way out but to try to paint a false narrative, desperately claiming the Iranians seem to be the more reasonable ones.
America went from a democratic experiment to pushing open the doors of tyranny.

The warnings are getting louder about Trump trying to take over voting at the national level.
Are we paying attention?
Sen Mark Warner, vice chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, is sounding the alarm, and he’s not guessing. That committee sees things the public can’t.
