Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

One week of headlines for Kash Patel: - personally branded liquor bottles - Senate hearing tantrum - FBI launches “payback squad” - director “padding” crime stats - “VIP snorkel” at Pearl Harbor memorial Is it even worth adding the “in a normal administration...” line? www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

The agent lied. But DOJ seems to have accepted his story without interrogating it: “video footage of the shooting..raises questions about why it took weeks for the government’s case to fall apart. The video contradicts the agent’s claim..3 assailants had beaten him” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/u...

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

A dramatic reading of the names of the corporations and fat cats who enabled Trump's demolition of the East Wing by donating millions of dollars to this ballroom project, a monument to Trump's ego. And they all have big financial interests that can be affected by the Trump administration.
