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.

If Eric Swalwell & Tony Gonzales can resign over sexual assault accusations - Trump & Pete Hegseth can resign over sexual assault accusations.

Me: "I never ever wanted to run for Congress or anything .... And I can't be a 30-year congressman. I'm not a career guy; it's not what I'm about. "I want to get in and get out after a couple terms: one to get rid of the moth— ... guy, and the next term to … help with the legal reconstruction, basically a Second American Reconstruction, to make sure these abuses never happen again.

Donald Trump? The close personal friend of Jeffrey Epstein? Gutting child trafficking oversight?

Remember when the Wall Street Journal released this letter that Donald Trump wrote to Jeffrey Epstein for his birthday? Trump said he was going to sue for defamation. Which he did. But guess what? The letter was proven to be authentic and from Donald Trump. The lawsuit was thrown out.

APPLEBAUM: Ukrainians have been continually pressured by Trump administration to give up territory to Russia. They keep asking, “What will we get in return? How do we know the war will end?” The answer is: they don’t know. No one has given them anything. Territory they’re being asked to give up is heavily fortified. These are fortress towns that Ukrainians have been defending and fighting over for years, places where Ukrainians actually live. So you’re not just giving up territory, you’re giving up a protective zone. If you gave it up, you would then enable Russians to move further.

Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia, has made the planet itself the sole beneficiary and effective "shareholder" of his company. In an extraordinary move that redefined corporate ownership, Chouinard transferred full control of the $3 billion outdoor apparel brand away from his family. He placed 100% of the company into a carefully designed structure consisting of a trust and a nonprofit organization, both dedicated to combating the climate crisis and protecting the natural world. Under this new arrangement, the Chouinard family gave up any claim to personal profits. Instead, all earnings not reinvested in growing the business—roughly $100 million each year—now flow directly to environmental causes, funding the preservation of wild lands, conservation efforts, and initiatives to fight climate change. In essence, Patagonia now exists to serve Earth as its only true shareholder, placing planetary survival above the accumulation of private wealth. The model has already delivered significant results. As of 2025, the company had channeled an additional $180 million into nature-protection projects. The structure relies on two key entities: the Patagonia Purpose Trust, which safeguards the company’s original mission and values, and the Holdfast Collective, a nonprofit that directs the profits toward high-impact environmental work. Rather than selling the business to the highest bidder or taking it public, Chouinard chose this radical path—creating what many see as a groundbreaking template for purpose-driven capitalism. Patagonia has shown that a for-profit company can become a powerful force for ecological restoration while remaining financially successful. [Chouinard, Y. (2022).

I'm cosponsoring articles of impeachment against Trump with @RepJohnLarson. His lawlessness is escalating—threatening war crimes, turning military forces on our own cities, abusing the pardon power and undermining our credibility. Where's the line? This vote needs to be on the record.

‼️ ZELENSKYY: For the first time in the war, an enemy position was captured entirely by ground robotic systems and drones - without any infantry. A robot entered the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier and took the positions. «The future is here, on the battlefield, and Ukraine is creating it. These are our ground robotic systems. For the first time in this war's history, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned GRS platforms and drones. The occupiers surrendered, and this operation was completed without infantry involvement and without losses on our side. Ratel, Termite, Ardal, Lynx, Zmiy, Protector, Volya and other GRS completed over 22 000 missions at the front in just 3 months. In other words, over 22 000 times lives were saved. A robot went into the most dangerous zones instead of a soldier» - Zelenskyy’s address to the workers of Ukraine’s defense-industrial complex. April 13th, 2026.

Democratic Senator Mark Kelly pops off at Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Marco Rubio and their war in Iran. "The American people are poorer and less safe because of this president...We've spent billions of dollars and this president does not have a plan." Go Mark!

I sounded the alarm about Donald Trump’s sons backing drone company, Powerus. Now, Powerus wants to sell drones to countries under attack by Iran. Are Trump’s sons cashing in on the war their father started? Americans deserve answers.

🚨BREAKING: Officials are finally starting to call the terror ICE is inflicting on communities what it actually is… Kidnapping. Officials are now investigating the ICE arrest of a U.S. citizen in Minnesota as a possible kidnapping… along with burglary and false imprisonment. ICE agents stormed ChongLy Scott Thao’s home… without a warrant… broke down his door, guns drawn, and dragged him out of his home, in the freezing cold, wearing Crocs, shorts, and a blanket… They didn’t check his ID, or even care that he was a citizen, and they took him anyway. And now it’s being investigated as kidnapping. Because that’s what DHS has been doing… kidnapping people. And if this is what it takes for people in power to finally admit what’s been happening, then the next step isn’t just investigations… It’s accountability. Because if regular people did this, they’d be in prison. So why aren’t the agents?

Very, very sad to report that Hayam El Gamal, mother of 5 kids detained at Dilley for 10+ months, has suffered a serious medical emergency due to systematic denial of medical attention by ICE. We can now share the following: For many weeks Ms. El Gamal has been concerned about a growth on her chest that has caused pain for many weeks. She has made complaints to Dilley staff and ICE repeatedly but has been denied a visit to an outside doctor. She had specifically made requests for a CT scan to identify the lump and the source of her pain. On Thursday April 8, a doctor at Dilley told her that he had put in a request for a CT scan but "higher ups" in either ICE or CoreCivic overrode his request, and so no scan was conducted. Medical records show she had been demanding help since February, at which time she said her pain had been already worsening for 8 weeks. A doctor at Dilley said the lump in her chest was merely a bone. Mid-morning on Friday April 9, Ms. El Gamal began experiencing excruciating pain which she rated an 11 out of 10. She described the pain as being stabbed through the back to the stomach. At about 11 AM central time she began pleading with officials for painkillers and medical attention. After two hours of asking for help (at around 1 PM central time) she was taken to an off-site emergency room. While there she received lab work and, finally, a CT scan. The CT scan confirmed that the lump was not a bone, but it did not reveal what the lump was. The scan also showed she has "fluid around the heart." The ER doctor recommended an ultrasound to determine what was causing the pain, but this was denied. Ms. El Gamal was told she had to go back to Dilley and was not given the ultrasound. We do not know if the lump is cancerous, all we know is that the pain is increasing, the incidents are becoming worse and worse, and she is not receiving proper diagnosis that could lead to proper treatment. After 10 months in detention, Ms. El Gamal remains in pain. We are concerned that the systematic denial of medical attention may result in her death. Her children are extremely worried about their mother, who is now their only guardian. Her five year old child has been denied the right to go to a dentist for 13 cavities. Her 16 year old son was told to take tylenol when he suffered from acute appendicitis. All of the children are suffering from depression. Please join us in demanding the El Gamal's immediate release so that she can acquire the urgent medical attention she desperately needs. This family has suffered enough.

🚨JUST IN: The leader of Britain’s Liberal Democrats just said it on the record. “Donald Trump is no leader of the free world. He’s a dangerous and corrupt gangster.” He’s also calling on Keir Starmer to cancel the King’s state visit to Washington before it’s too late.

Democrats demand their people resign from congress. Republicans elect them president

A direct point by prominent author John Fugelsang. He confirms the US military verified Iran was fully complying with the nuclear deal. The Trump administration intentionally destroyed a working peace treaty and is now burning a billion dollars a day to appease Netanyahu.

Xavier Becerra may not be the most charismatic politician, but he does have a wealth of experience. The lesson to be learned from the Swalwell drama should be is to look beyond the flashy fighter and choose someone with integrity and a proven track record as a public servant.
