The baseless indictment of New York AG Letitia James is simply another part of the 47 regimes corruption of our justice system using it against anyone who has sought to hold him accountable.

It’s also another reason to turnout this Saturday to say

Every year, millions of low-income Canadians miss out on benefits they’re entitled to.

We’re stepping in — with new Automatic Federal Benefits. Canada’s new government will pre-file taxes for up to 5.5 million Canadians, getting them back money that would otherwise go unclaimed.

JB Pritzker: “Stephen Miller clearly is the one pushing the tactics at DHS, at CBP, at ICE. He’s the person aiming to have Donald Trump become an authoritarian leader. Stephen Miller is bad for the country and he is abusing the fact that Donald Trump has diminished capacity”

Los Angeles County voted to declare a state of emergency in response to federal ICE raids. Normally reserved for natural disasters, the declaration allows the county to mobilize resources and offer assistance to residents impacted by the raids.

LA County officials approve emergency declaration over immigration raids

The move allows the L.A. County Board of Supervisors to provide rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the crackdown on immigrants.

Poilievre tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries & the Cdn Gas Association.
It’s not surprising for a career politician who has voted against the environment 400 times in 20 years Poilievre has capitulated to every one of Big Oil’s demands
cultmtl.com/2025/04/pier... #cdnpoli

Pierre Poilievre is Big Oil’s useful idiot

With an inner circle stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, it’s no wonder that Pierre Poilievre voted against the environment 400 times.

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious:

- Super Bowl halftime entertainer
- getting a Nobel Prize for Trump
- terrifying naked bike riders

Topics he thinks are not serious:

- Epstein Files
- domestic violence
- being able to keep the govt open
- the neutering of Congress

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?

JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.
