This chart from Thomas Piketty illustrates what Jefferson Cowie calls “the Great Exception,” the period of the New Deal Order from the 1930s to the 1970s when inequality was low, and rates of unionization and federal marginal tax rates were high.

Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.

Remember, Democrats have repeatedly advanced measures to ban partisan gerrymandering and Republicans have voted against them time after time. This is the game Republicans wanted to play. OK, then.

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

It’s worth saying, in the wake of Trump’s bizarre and vicious Easter morning tweet, that the Republican Party could have him out of office by the end of the day. This is on his cabinet and every Republican member of Congress.

ICE has kept a disabled double amputee prisoner for over 14 months. Rodney Taylor has been denied access to his prosthetic legs. Forced to crawl across dirty floors to access food. Placed in solitary. Denied medical accommodations. They’re killing him & he needs the community to make noise!

The Treasury Department is working on a plan to gut its office that researches financial market risks. Because the office is funded by fees on the financial industry, this won't save taxpayers money. But it will make it harder to spot and prevent the next crisis. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Great question, with a weak answer. Also Homan in this answer: "These officers ... are well trained in identification." No. They're not. As Judge Tostrud (Trump appointee) recently held, they've been engaging in racial profiling, disregarding IDs of U.S. citizens and more.

Yet another day of record-shattering heat, and now it extends clear across the continental U.S. All-time monthly record high temperatures are occurring from the Desert Southwest eastward to the Mid-Atlantic today, with at least daily records being set from Pacific to Atlantic.

Map of U.S., from coolwx.com, showing locations currently experiencing record-breaking temperatures. There are countless such locations across the southern tier of the U.S., with hundreds of red dots (locations breaking daily record highs) and countless pink dots (locations breaking March monthly record highs). The region of record heat extends from the Pacific Coast eastward to the Atlantic Coast.
