We don’t talk enough about how military strikes increased as more damaging details about Trump emerged AOC: “I think we're seeing this pattern — every time he's done that (military strike) it has been consistent with a spike or a revelation in what is happening with the Epstein files”

Hegseth; ‘Iranians asking themselves How did Americans do this?’ Actually they’re asking themselves… How did Americans put his fucking idiot in charge of the military?

I am pleased to announce that Lucy and I will be hosting our counter-programming event—the WITAOD Correspondents Dinner—for the second year in a row. Unfortunately, Lucy still cannot tell us who the administrator of DOGE is…mainly because she still cannot speak English.

ICE agents came to a military base and grabbed the newlywed wife of a soldier who's about to deploy. The wife came to the U.S. as a toddler. She has no criminal record. None of this is how it used to work. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

Artist Richard Wilson's mural depicting soul singer Donny Hathaway, on the side wall of the Small Chevall restaurant, 1307 E. 53rd St., facing Nichols Park.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Your president promised war crimes for next week, and you still haven't dragged his arse out of the white house

Nothing says expert like a weekend talk show host. When he gets fired the orange balloon will hire Sylvester Stallone as Secretary of Defense because, well, you know…Rambo. 🤨

I look back at All the President’s Men, released on this day 50 years ago. During production, screenwriter William Goldman said, “Expectations are so high on this movie that if the film is only good, it won’t be good enough.” If only he was here to see how powerful it still is: More @ Esquire…
