Trump's FTC is planning to lift restrictions on two oil CEOs who allegedly colluded with foreign governments to jack up gas prices.

This comes after the CEOs, their family members, and businesses gave big donations to Trump and the RNC.

This is what keeps me up at night. How can we reach these folks…we cannot sit on the sideline and let this despicable group of swine-following earth scum ruin our democracy while we simply choose to not vote. The world needs y’all to step up

I don't think some of them give a flying f***

The biggest divide is not between “right” and “left."

It’s between democracy and oligarchy.

The billionaires who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see that they have all the wealth and power.

What folks love about @repjasmine.bsky.social is simple—she keeps it real. No sugarcoating, no political gymnastics. She says what the rest of us are thinking but don’t have the mic to say out loud.

She’s right—this is a “nightmare”. And we need more voices like hers, calling it out—no apologies!

NEW damning details on Pete Hegseth:

Minutes before U.S. jets hit Yemen, Gen. Kurilla sent strike intel through a secure gov system. Hegseth turned around and dropped it in at least two Signal chats—on his personal phone.

Jet timing. Target locations. And he still has the job.

I don't think it gets more Second Gilded Age than this.

Republicans are poised to kill tens of thousands of jobs in districts that voted for Trump | CNN There’s a battle brewing between Republicans: Some vocally defend Biden’s tax credits because they’re bringing billions of dollars of investment and thousands of jobs to their districts; others want f...

This is a fight to watch. The IRA tax credits massively, directly benefit numerous Republican districts. Will their voters' interests outweigh their loyalty to Dear Leader Trump? It's an open question.

On today’s episode of “He’s Tearing This S**t Up”—Trump plans to dismantle NOAA, shutting down climate research and weather labs.​

In Texas, that means fewer hurricane warnings, less drought data, & more risk to our communities.​

This isn’t just a budget cut—it’s a threat to our safety.

WTH?

Screenshot of the cover page of Griffin v Board of Elections. Text reads: "IN THE COURT OF APPEALS OF NORTH CAROLINA No. COA25-181 Filed 4 April 2025 Wake County, Nos. 24CV40619-910, 24CV040620-910, 24CV40622-910 JEFFERSON GRIFFIN, Petitioner, v. NORTH CAROLINA STATE BOARD OF ELECTIONS, Respondent, and ALLISON RIGGS, Intervenor-Respondent. Appeal by petitioner from orders entered 7 February 2025 by Judge William R. Pittman in Wake County Superior Court. Heard in the Court of Appeals 21 March 2025."

Excerpt from the panel majority opinion in Griffin v. Board of Elections. Text reads: "Upon remand, the Board is instructed to immediately direct the county boards to expeditiously identify the military and overseas voters challenged under this protest and notify said voters of their failure to abide by the photo ID requirement or equivalent, to allow said voters fifteen (15) business days from the mailing of the notice to cure the defect, and upon verification, to include in the count of this challenged election the votes of those voters who timely cure their failure to abide by the photo ID requirement and to omit from the final count the votes of those voters who fail to timely cure their deficiencies. Finally, as to the "Never Residents" voters, we conclude these purported voters are not eligible to vote in North Carolina, non-federal elections, and the votes cast by these purported voters are not to be included in the final count in the 2024 election for Seat 6. The Superior Court's order in 24CV040619-910, affirming the Board's dismissal of Griffin's protest as to these purported voters is reversed with instructions to remand the matter to the Board to direct the county boards to identify the votes from "Never Residents" and remove them from the final count of the 2024 election for Supreme Court Seat 6. The Clerk of this Court is ordered to issue this Court's mandate on Monday, 7 April 2025 at 5 P.M. It is so ordered. REVERSED AND REMANDED. Panel consisting of: Judges TYSON, HAMPSON, and GORE. Judge Hampson dissents by separate opinion."
