Heading ever deeper into his dystopian Orwellian fantasy world, Trump believes that changing the name of ICE to NICE will somehow make people forget or ignore the fact that he has turned the agency into a secret police composed of thugs who beat and murder innocent people with impurity.

Trump has cemented the palace at Versailles as the place where megalomaniac war mongers go to surrender.

RFK Jr is placing himself at the vanguard of Trump's authoritarian push by declaring that he has the ability to involuntarily incarcerate anyone at any time for no valid reason.

Trump invents yet another reason to go to war against nature. The algae growth is an entirely predictable result of his atrocious paint job (which is already peeling off).

Trump's Iran deal is so mind-bogglingly bad that one has to wonder if the 'grifter in chief' worked out a secret deal with the Ayatollah to get a cut of the profits, both from the $300 billion fund and from tolls on shipping through an international waterway owned by no country.

Fun fact: Building enough solar panels to power the USA would take up less land area than is currently used (and polluted) by oil, gas, and coal mining.

Dementia Don gets no end of free passes.

The official Dept. of Justice announcement concerning the arrest of five people for planning a mass murder / terrorism attack at the White House on Trump's birthday bends over backwards and uses extensive "creative editing" to avoid admitting that all five were far-right activists. 1/2

Another example of Trump ruining everything, even friendships. When Italian PM Giorgia Meloni first came to power, she was widely viewed as one of the "Trump-like" populist, anti-immigrant leaders in Europe. After Trump's election, she celebrated his win. Trump has now turned her into an enemy.

Jack Ohman nails it.

160 members pilot trainees in the US Air Force coming down with the flu because Hegseth eliminated the vaccine mandate is a travesty. The fact that one died is a tragedy. The fact that pilot training costs over $100,000 per week per person and 160 trainees just missed 2 weeks is a waste.

Tourists are flocking to take photos of the new resident of Trump's reflecting pool. /s

MAGA crowd, listen up: Trump has decreed that for now on, when you see this particularly putrid shade of green you MUST delare that it is "American flag blue." Moreover, you must truly, genuinely believe it. The Ministry of Truth will be watching you. /s

Huge sheets of newly-applied, multi-million dollar sheets of blue paint peeling off the bottom of the murky green Reflecting Pool is a perfect example of what happens whenever Trump decides to "fix" something.

Historical note: General George Washington instituted MANDATORY vaccinations for all members of the military during the Revolutionary War. It was never about "woke" (whatever that means) and was always about maintaining force readiness. Hegseth is too incompetent to understand that.

Trump is now claiming that he "saved the world from an economic disaster" by signing a deal with (more like a surrender to) Iran. What he doesn't say, of course, is that HE CAUSE THE ECONOMIC DISASTER by launching an insane war of choice.

A handy graph to remind everyone of the true impact of Trump's decision to tear up the JCPOA.

Trump's green reflecting pool has become a magic mirror.

Hegseth is trying to Cosplay a tough guy by warning Iran that they have to take ALL of the hundreds of billions of dollars!

With Kevin Warsh, Trump's hand-picked, man running the Federal Reserve, the Fed just announced that not only would there be no immediate cut in interest rates, they will likely have to rise soon. This is the mess Trump has created.

Taken as a whole, Trump's 14-point "deal" represents the most astounding admission of defeat in US history. Iran gets everything it wants, including hundreds of billions of dollars, internationally-recognized control over the Strait, and removal of US forces. Iran gives up nothing.

Point #11 of Trump's Iran deal is frequently, but incorrectly, described as releasing $24 billion to Iran. In reality, that $24 billion was frozen in 1979. The total value, with interest, is going to be between $125 and $150 billion delivered to Iran by Trump.

Point #10 of Trump's Iran deal guarantees that the USA will immediately drop sanctions against Iran. Absolutely nothing is required of Iran in return; just sign a vaguely worded piece of paper and sanctions in place since 1979 disappear, giving Tehran free reign with huge revenues.

In some ways, point 8 of Trump's deal is the heart since he claims the whole war was about Iran's nuclear program. Point 8 delivers absolutely NOTHING what was not accomplished by the JCPOA that Trump tore up.

The JCPOA, which Trump called "the worst deal ever," ONLY lifted nuclear-related sanctions on Iran. Sanctions for human rights violations, terrorism, and its missile program ALL remained. Trump is promising to end ALL SANCTIONS, even those imposed by international bodies. Victory for Iran.

Point 6 of Trump's deal with Iran is where the big bucks come in. $300 billion for Iran. Remember when Trump and the MAGA right lambasted Obama for agreeing to return $1.7 billion of Iran's own money? Now Trump wants to hand them $300 billion.

By stating that Iran will open the Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping "with no charge for 60 days" makes it clear that Trump is agreeing that Tehran can charge "tolls" after that initial period. That's a HUGE win for Iran that leaves the situation worse than before Trump launched his war.

The fourth point of Trump's deal is a massive admission of defeat. The US agrees to withdraw all troops from the region -- a region where the US has more than a half dozen military bases, some of which are over 40 years old. Tehran essentially gets to dictate US Middle East policy.

The second point of Trump's so-called "agreement" is key, and deliberately worded to be hard to understand. Translating into plain English, Trump is promising that the US will not complain about the Iranian regimes flagrant human rights abuses. In the future, a free pass for Tehran.

Since Israel, the United States' partner in the war on Iran, has not stopped its war in Lebanon, Trump is already in violation of the very first point of his own agreement.

In humor, there is truth. NB: Crafted by a friend, but in reality, Elon Musk's wealth has come predominantly from US government subsidies as well, putting him and Khamenei on par.

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

Before Trump's war: (1) the Strait of Hormuz was open, (2) Iran had pledged not to develop a nuclear weapon, (3) 13 US Service members were alive, (4) the US had huge stockpiles of missiles and weapons. After Trump's war: no change in #1 & #2, 13 Americans dead and arms supplies almost gone. 1/2

Last month, Trump declared that “The strait [of Hormuz] is going to be open to everybody. Nobody’s going to control it.” Today, he announced a "peace deal" under which the Strait of Hormuz will open after 30 days with ships transiting according to "Iranian arrangements." Iran is the clear winner.

Question: With a flyover by the armed forces, full honor guards (on a level normally reserved for visiting heads of state), modifications to the White House lawn and the Lincoln Memorial, and all the rest, HOW MUCH IS TRUMP'S BIRTHDARY PRESENT TO HIMSELF COSTING AMERICAN TAXPAYERS?

Trump's "Iran Deal" leaves the USA worse off than before Trump started his war. The US will transfer tens of billions of dollars to Iran, the US will not remove any of Iran's nuclear materials, and the US will recognize Iran's control the Strait of Hormuz. Iran 1, Trump 0.

In a display of childishness that would embarrass a preschooler, the Trump Administration is now refusing to remove the tarps covering up the name of the Kennedy Center.

If it weren't for the Trump curse (he destroys everything he touches), the Knicks would have won in four.

ICE once again using releases as an opportunity to murder people of color. They "released" a mentally-impaired woman into freezing temperatures in the middle of nowhere without adequate clothing. She froze to death. That's not an 'accident.' That was pre-meditated murder.

CNN is publishing nonsense, likely because they are currying favor in advance with their new MAGA-aligned owners. The OBVIOUS reality is that even top Trump Administration officials realize that if it were signed in-person, Trump would blow up any deal in a hissy fit since he doesn't understand it.

Any Questions?! 👇 Don’t. Do. It. ✨

One the day that Trump name should have been removed from the Kennedy Center, Trump's hand-picked group of toadies changed the Kennedy Center's charter to read that if Trump's name is removed then all funding MUST be removed from the Kennedy Center. They then stole $17 million from the Nat. Opera.

Trump's lackeys slapped his name up on the Kennedy Center in just a few hours using scissor lifts. To remove it, they ordered contractors to build a very expensive covered scaffold. Yet another waste of public money to soothe Trump's fragile ego.
