Good for the Democrats out in California. Glad they are dumping abusers and sexual assaulters despite how they poll. The Republicans still worship them as party leaders, cabinet members, and Senate nominees.

Iran’s delegation to the Islamabad Talks is made up of four men with doctorates: - Dr. Ghalibaf (Speaker of Parliament) - Dr. Araghchi (Foreign Minister) - Dr. Ahmadian (Secretary of the Defense Council) - Dr. Hemmati (Central Bank Governor) The US delegation is made up JD Vance, a failed author, Steve Witkoff, Trump’s gold buddy and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law. None of them have the technical range to negotiate complex nuclear issues.

The University of Michigan has been measuring consumer sentiment since 1952. We just got the first Iran-afflicted measure for April, and it's at the lowest level ever recorded.

How in the world, in the biggest state with the largest Democratic population in the country, are the Dems' main choices Eric Swalwell, Katie Porter, and Tom Steyer?? Speaks a lot to the state of our politics -- and the Dem party -- circa 2026.

The right spent years building an entire political movement around the idea that powerful institutions using economic pressure to silence speech they disliked was an existential threat to American freedom. Campus speakers. Deplatforming. Corporate boycotts. All of it was proof of a totalitarian left. Rick Scott just asked the President of the United States to revoke Yale's federal funding because the school hosted a streamer he doesn't like. No fraud. No civil rights violation. No breach of contract. A speaking invitation. You don't have to like Hasan Piker to see what Scott is doing. The lever changed hands. The principle didn't survive the transfer.

As Maryland’s top Black leaders face heightened scrutiny from Sinclair-owned outlets, the debate over media bias and racial targeting intensifies. Read more #OnTheGrio thegrio.com/2026/04/10/sin…

A great opening day for our all-new @Center4Politics. Grateful to everyone who helped bring this vision to life, our @UVA leadership and hundeds of supporters, colleagues, students, and friends who were with us today. Wahoowa.

Mike's reporting on Xi Jinping's family wealth was so dangerous that Bloomberg killed the story rather than risk getting kicked out of China. Then he went to the NYT and published it anyway. So this is pretty cool to see!

Great experiment: imagine Laura Bush suddenly calling a press conference in the White House, without notifying her husband or his staff, to say they definitely had no relationship with that convicted and deceased sex offender, but you know how Highland Park social circles are

Pete Hegseth's Defense Dept appears to be caught in a lie. It involves deaths of 21 people (including at least 5 children), injuring 110 in Lamerd, Iran with sports hall and school. By a U.S. missile (PrSM) never before used in combat. NYT sources include: 3 US officials! 1/

@steelworkers @Teamsters - I hope y'all remember this, when it's time to give an endorsement...

In the middle of a historic mission back to the Moon, this Administration is proposing to a 47% cut to NASA science and a 23% cut to NASA’s budget overall. Last week’s launch showed our country and world what we’re capable of when we work together toward a common goal. None of that can happen without support for science and research.

The swift reaction House Democrats had toward Eric Swalwell versus the drawn out feigned ignorance by House Republican Leadership and Mike Johnson is stark

lol what

Bolton knows why the Iranians picked Vance.

This is what putting principles over party looks like in real time. More of this please.

The accusations against Swalwell aren't he-said-she-said. They're well reported, fairly corroborated, detailed and damning. And while he's denying them, it's with precise language ("These allegations are false" v. I have never engaged in any such type of behavior). He has allies abandoning him (Pelosi giving the TKO) and, in all likelihood, more stories coming. This is unsustainable.

$134 MILLION of profits on Polymarket by administration insiders They know Trump's actions ahead of time, place bets, make millions -- as others get bombed, die, or suffer skyrocketing costs of living Insider trading of securities is ILLEGAL Insider bets should also be ILLEGAL

Pelosi says it’s time for Swalwell to go.

Welcome home Reid, Victor, Christina, and Jeremy! 🫶 The Artemis II astronauts have splashed down at 8:07pm ET (0007 UTC April 11), bringing their historic 10-day mission around the Moon to an end.
