Scott MacFarlane on the WHCD: Celebrating the First Amendment while honoring leaders who attack and sue the press “doesn’t seem like a good fit.” MacFarlane says he’d rather stay home than attend an event that feels out of step with its own purpose.

I love Joe Biden He got crucified by the press My life was better when he was in office Fuck everyone saying he was a bad president

Morocco just activated the #NoorAtlas Mega Complex — a 20,000-megawatt #solar installation across 45,000 hectares of Saharan plateau. It's capable of generating up to 160 MW, making the first stage alone one of the world's biggest solar thermal power plants unfccc.int/es/node/21533 #ActOnClimate

There's no other way to say this.. WE MUST WIN THE HOUSE AND SENATE TO DESTROY THE GOP CORRUPTION WE ARE SEEING ON A DAILY BASIS

Trump: "We have all the cards." (Iran has the Strait of Hormuz, which is a pretty significant card.)

JUST IN: 23 states & D.C. are moving to block Trump’s mail-voting restrictions before the midterms, accusing him of attempting to “massively disrupt” the elections.

Iran's foreign minister has left Islamabad without meeting US envoys, Pakistan officials confirm.

What a shitshow.

Fewer than 150 days until early voting in some states for midterm election

Here they are: our two top Iran negotiators. No diplomatic experience. In way over their head. Both with massive financial conflicts of interest, their fortunes tied to the Middle East dictators that make them rich. What a disaster.

NEWS: Janet Mills has VETOED a first-in-the-nation bill that would have paused large data center projects, blocking Maine from becoming the first state to enact a statewide moratorium on AI infrastructure.

These UCLA students have more integrity than the Whitehouse Press Corps. They care more about justice & our Constitutional rights than our Department of Justice. It's time that EVERYONE follow in their bold footsteps. Throw sand in the gears like these brave Bruins. Stand against #ICELawlessness

The most corrupt president in history:

This is like the time I said I’d quiz my goddaughter on her homework, which turned out to be in German.

NEWS: Iran’s Fars News Agency disputes an Axios report claiming Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will meet Iran FM Abbas Araghchi in Islamabad, calling it false and accusing Western media of trying to sway Iranian decision-making.

#TRAITORTRUMP "We're supposed to elect the best of us, not the worst of us. He's everything that's wrong with not just America but being a human being." Jeff Daniels, on Donald J. Trump

Yeah but Hunter sold a painting!

This is great.

This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

Congratulations to the ladies of the Georgia tennis team!!

This is not a dilemma. The legacy media needs to spare us the bullshit, grow a backbone and get some self-respect. Don't go to a dinner with Donald Trump! Support pro-democracy media that will stand tall and not break bread with a wanna be dictator. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Zero. Sympathy. They did this to themselves. Oh, and also? There definitely is an easy answer.

hard to believe this guy couldn't win a statewide election

You know, it’s been an interesting day when a U.S. House committee sends FBI Director Kash Patel a formal inquiry asking if he’s ever blacked out from drinking, forgotten the night before, or needed morning drinks to recover. Lawmakers are demanding answers by April 28.

Tim Walz on DHS officers who shot Minnesotans: "We're gonna bring them back and hold them accountable for what they did"

Ossoff: "I have zero interest in running for president in 2028. I love serving the state of Georgia. Let's keep our eyes on the ball, folks. We need to win decisively in Georgia and every battleground state and every competitive US House district this fall."

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

look, republicans set the rules of engagement that literally any bureaucratic trick is fair game and they just never thought dems would agree to those terms

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.

EISEN: I wonder if you ever worry that by trashing the president over Iran that it weakens our hand and negotiation position at a critical moment ELIZABETH WARREN: 🤨 Donald Trump weakens Donald Trump's hand when he starts this war without ever consulting with the American people about it

Trying to override the will of the People of Virginia just because y'all maga fucks didn't like the outcome. Yall are the ones that have wanted gerrymandering everywhere now that democrats won it, suddenly its a problem? Nah, that hypocrisy game won't work.

Every single Republican voted against it.

There seems to be a dispute on this.

Pete Hegseth is blaming Joe Biden for military vaccine mandates. The flu shot’s been required since 1945. Joe Biden was 3 years old in 1945.

Weird that they would fire the navy secretary who’s been overseeing a war we’ve won at least five times.

This isn't the movie I bought a ticket for...

HAHAHA! That response killed me. And it's so damn true.

MILITARY PURGE: Navy Secretary John Phelan has been FIRED, effective immediately. Hung Cao will take over as Acting Secretary. Prior reports raised questions about his claims of being “blown up” in combat, with his Navy record lacking a Purple Heart or Combat Action Ribbon.

This is great! 😂

PabloReports: Donald Trump is complaining about the results in Virginia. He seems to be very distressed. AOC: I’m sooo sorry for his heartbreak at this moment, and I look forward to adding ten more Democratic colleagues in November.

New Countdown Podcast drops at midnight: It's not me saying it. Not Jimmy Kimmel. Not a psychiatrist. It's The Washington Damned Examiner. Quote - “Donald Trump Is Losing His Mind.” Plus: how drunk is he? House Dems ask: Edgar J. Boozer? And why if you go, you must protest Trump at the WHCD

The young people in our @obamafoundation.bsky.social Leaders program give me hope. One of those leaders, Luisa Neubauer, is working to fight climate change and recently traveled to Antarctica. This Earth Day, I hope you'll check out her incredible story.

They're not even trying to hide it anymore...

AOC represents EVERY WOMAN in America right now who is sick and tired of misogyny & misinformation. She represents us and the rage we feel.

Any "extraordinarily brilliant person" would know his presidency is in free-fall after his disastrous decision to enter another endless war-of-choice in the Middle East & that on November 3rd accountability is coming for the most corrupt criminal Administration in U.S. History. tick...tick...tick

Pam Bondi must appear under oath to testify. If they made Hillary Clinton show up, who has nothing to do with Epstein, then Bondi must testify given all she's done to cover up the crimes.

Thankx to THE BOSS for having Public Enemy perform at Springsteen Center American Music Honors ,, we should all always continue to FIGHT THE POWER

Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up. The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning. No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.
