Republicans using debt limit to hold us hostage to their nuttery --
McCarthy’s shameful Default on America Act would destroy the full faith and credit of the nation, crash the economy, and turn the social safety net into a GOP tightrope—all to save tax breaks for the rich. Their vision for America is clearer—darker—than ever.

Just now 98% of republicans in Congress voted to screw veterans, steal health care from 600,000 Americans, and kill up to a million jobs while threatening a second Great Depression. Remember it. pic.twitter.com/XBEg0KlICo

Sen. Feinstein, please do the right thing and resign --
So awesome that the two Dakotas (with fewer than 1.7 million residents) have four Senators while California (39.2 million) has one. https://t.co/BEEh7Xajep

Sen. Feinstein is doing a pretty wonderful job of tanking her legacy in real-time by refusing to resign. If she can't do her job, she should step aside so someone who's able can take over. Are we here to coddle Dianne Feinstein or are we here to move our agenda foward? https://t.co/KNXANuqt10

Because Senator Feinstein was absent, the Senate overturned a Biden rule that would cut pollution from heavy duty trucks and causes harm to people’s lungs. We are putting decorum over democracy and our values. It’s time for Senator Feinstein to step down gracefully. https://t.co/qmNsJO671a

Security clearances and the disturbing case of Jack Teixeira, continued --
Jack Teixiera couldn’t get a gun license from his state in 2018 bc he’d been suspended as a violent, racist threat in high school, but—after a background check—the United States gave him a Top Secret/SCI clearance a couple years later. https://t.co/PPpuYqAuwn pic.twitter.com/wQeC1Fy8KK

Kremlin media gives some love to Tovarich Tucker Carlson --
In the days since he was fired from Fox News, Tucker Carlson has been hailed as a hero and a truth-teller in Russian state media—a testament to his utility in Putin’s wartime campaign.@juliaioffe reports. https://t.co/93un7RE7qv

TUCKER FOR PRESIDENT!
— Julia Davis (@JuliaDavisNews) April 26, 2023
Russian state TV propagandists mourn the firing of their "beloved" Tucker Carlson and plot how they could continue to capitalize on his useful rhetoric.
