The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Taniel, with the handle @Taniel
. The post reads: "RESULT: A team of city council members in Rolla, Missouri, were pushing anti-LGTB policies, incl. a ban on drag shows and book censorship. Voters just ousted all 3 of these city councillors who were running for reelection, backing candidates backed by local LGBT group." The post reports on a local election outcome in Rolla, Missouri, where three city council members who supported anti-LGBT policies, including a ban on drag shows and book censorship, were voted out. The winning candidates were supported by a local LGBT group.

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it? He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

To sum up: An estimated 5 million people protested in 50 states but the stories were deliberately relegated to the back of most major newspapers.
Screenshot: 

And Rupert Murdoch’s media properties? The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal made no mention whatsoever of the protests on either their April 6 or April 7 front pages. Surprise, surprise.

This isn’t just bad journalism. It’s a deliberate editorial choice that speaks volumes about how establishment media downplays collective action challenging power.

When hundreds of thousands of people coordinate across an entire nation to protest governmental policies, that’s not a page 18 story. That’s not a “see more in section B” situation. That’s front-page news. Period.

AFRICOM commander Gen. Langley tells senators that China is "trying to replicate" USAID programs in Africa as the US scales back USAID.

"They're trying to use that as an extension of the Belt and Road Initiative to gain favor by the African countries," Langley said.

So the Dems and this nation need to step up in the midterms and take back both houses and truly make this moron a lame-duck. Depending on the numbers in both houses, impeach this coward and finally get him out, and that will instantly stop this whole third-term BS.

Five days to WI’s spring election. Judge Susan Crawford has a record of public service: an attorney, prosecutor, and Circuit Court Judge. Pro-freedom, pro-safety, pro-democracy. Brad Schimel’s record? Something else entirely.

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.
Title: Both Liberal and Conservative Judges Rule Against Trump
Description: A scatter plot showing the rulings of judges against or in favor of Trump, categorized by ideology using the DIME score. The x-axis represents Judge Ideology (DIME Score), ranging from liberal (-1) to conservative (1), and the y-axis represents the case outcome (against or for Trump).
	•	Blue dots represent liberal judges, purple dots represent moderate judges, and red dots represent conservative judges.
	•	Some judges are labeled, including Rudolph Contreras, Lauren King, John Coughenour, and James Emanuel Boasberg on the liberal to moderate side, and Carl Nichols, Richard J. Leon, and Joseph N. Laplante on the conservative side.
	•	A note mentions that Boasberg, though slightly right-leaning, was initially appointed by George W. Bush.
	•	The visualization suggests that judges from both ideological backgrounds ruled against Trump.
