The richest man owns X. The second richest man owns The Washington Post. The third and fifth richest men control Google. The sixth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And the eighth richest man now owns both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

In a strategic retreat in the fight against climate change, the U.N. has acknowledged that Earth has lost its chance to prevent some of the worst of global warming's harms. Now the world must figure out how to get temperatures back below the danger zone, officials say. https://to.pbs.org/3UoU8p7

Do we need to explain to GOP senators how 5th Amendment works? Disgusting lawless attack to scapegoat Dr. Fauci to score political points. Another distraction from the real issues our government should be addressing. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

FYI: Blanche rescinded the ORDER establishing the slush fund, not the underlying “settlement.” The settlement says any changes must be agreed to by ALL parties, not just Todd. This “rescission” isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on.

BREAKING: In my lawsuit against Todd Blanche for the Epstein Files, Judge Sullivan has just ordered Blanche to produce, in camera (in chambers), the UNREDACTED emails & documents, and Blanche must bring documentation supporting his representations the DOJ’s redactions are what he claims they are.

The world's first trillionaire received 38 Billion Dollars from the US government. But, no, we won't have enough money to pay for school lunches for your kids. Or give you healthcare. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Intel chair hasn’t read the treaty. If he had, he’d know there’s only been one time NATO was required to help the U.S. and that was after 9/11. And they did.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Intelligence Chair Crawford: "It's in our interest to revisit the construct of NATO and say, 'How does this work for us?' Because when we need help from NATO, by and large they aren't there. Whereas when they need our help, we're there to do the heavy lifting, and I think POTUS has recognized that."

Reminder... Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.

The 22nd Amendment to the Constitution is clear: Trump cannot be elected president more than twice. Yesterday, I asked Trump judicial nominees what the 22nd Amendment entails. Their response? Crickets.

Amazon will pay $20.5 million to settle allegations that two of its Oregon data centers helped contaminate groundwater. This is exactly why communities across the country are organizing to stop data centers — and winning. Never doubt your power to change the system.

This Tax Day, every American should know: Because of Trump, Amazon avoided paying over 90% of the taxes it owed. That's $17.5 billion that should be going to health care, schools, child care, and more. But instead, Jeff Bezos gets wealthier. Congress needs to tax the rich.

Attorney General. Fired Attorney General. That doesn’t matter. Our bipartisan subpoena stands. Pam Bondi buried millions of Epstein files, knows why they remain hidden, and she must testify — or face contempt. Why doesn’t she want to come?

In honor of Vance's visit to Hungary, where he will campaign for Viktor Orban, I am reposting my article from last year. I argued that Orban's Hungary is one of the poorest countries, and certainly the most corrupt and least free country, in the entire EU. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

Khanna: "If we can chase Hillary Clinton, who hasn't been in office for 20 years, certainly we can get Pam Bondi to explain why she covered up documents, why we haven't had prosecutions"

The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic. Boy, did they screw up.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.
