"I'm just contemplating the fact that one moron, one psychotic moron, one capricious idiot, has completely bollocksed up the global economy not only to the detriment of his own people, but the detriment of the planet. ... It's like how much more of this can the planet take?"

Using the r-word is just bad. Democrats should have higher standards for themselves than Trump when it comes to using a slur that MANY disabled people find offensive. Looking at you, Graham Platner. New from me at @motherjones.com. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The White House Correspondents' Dinner later this month – with Trump as guest of honor – is shaping up as an embarrassing surrender to a criminal president who is trying to destroy the free press. Cancel the damn dinner. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

When the gospel of Jesus is a punch:

So pretty clear we have a klepto-kakistocracy, right??

$3.2 million for eight years in one of the hardest and most important jobs in the world. And Trump and his family have reportedly made more than *one thousand times* that amount off the presidency in just *one year* www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

Anyone who votes for this white supremacist is making a grievous error in judgment.

Major media outlets are helping JD Vance play both sides — posing as the principled adviser opposed to the war but also as the loyal helpmate supporting his president's war. Get a grip. Vance is helping a criminal president conduct an illegal war. It’s a scandal that working the press works so well.

Democrats are treating Rep. Eric Swalwell like a person who has been credibly accused of sexual misconduct, including rape. It doesn’t matter that he’s a Democrat — they’re appalled and not in denial. That’s the difference between the two parties.

I believe the women he assaulted. He doesn’t belong in any leadership position, in public service or polite society, frankly.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

This is terrible and so stupid for Kentucky, a state desperately in need of new employment opportunities and where Andy Beshear had announced massive battery operations promising thousands of jobs that are now…not happening. And the dummies here voted for Trump!

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

People to yell at whca.press/about/office...

The White House Correspondents Association is planning to "honor" Trump at its dinner three weeks from now. No way. It was egregious before. Now it's obscene.

Hard agree!

I don't think Kamala Harris would've threatened to commit genocide in Iran on a random Tuesday morning a month after starting an unwinnable war with them for no reason

Trump just threatened to wipe out an entire civilization — a war crime and a horrifying escalation in the war he started. Speaker Johnson will try to explain this away, but refusing to act puts everyone at risk. We are not powerless — we can and must end this. Call Congress back.

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

Hard to express my rage at the well-fed, comfortable people whose failures brought our country to this point.

My family pays taxes at the very highest rate and we are grateful to be in this situation. My quibbles are people richer than we are should pay far more, that workers are taxed way more than so-called “investors” and we should have to pay Social Security tax on all of our ordinary income.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

Trump's stupidity hurts the entire world. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/o...

Better make time to read this - it takes some time - and understand that Altman and his enablers are every bit as sociopathic and dishonest as Trump and far, far more dangerous.

Dear @nytimes.com: instead of paraphrasing Trump’s “profanity laced” Easter threats you should just repeat them in full. Your prim rectitude does not properly convey the vile rantings of a president eager to commit more war crimes.

The individuals who are the “deciders” of “what is (is not) fit to print”: AGSulzberger, Kahn, Ryan, Lacey, Healy, Kingsbury+ escape much-warranted criticism behind the institutional mantle. We think NYT leadership needs to be named & held accountable for their “product”. #NameThemShameThem

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

Lest we forget, this war started because Trump attacked Iran unprovoked in the middle of negotiations to reinstate a deal that Trump himself reneged on in his first term, and his opening shot was to kill all the leaders of Iran in a massive surprise strike. Criminal rogue state lunacy

Well I for whichever team that wins tonight that doesn’t have asshole coaches.

84% of Trump voters said they'd vote for him again, vs 91% of Harris voters. That would be the headline, if US media wasn't always champing at the bit to make it seem like Trump voters aren't the monsters they really are.

bottom line- if we're fairly weighing Presidential impacts- the US had no bearing on Russia's attack on Ukraine, the economy reopening from Covid. Biden pushed anti-oil policy that made little difference. This time around, Trump *chose* the path we're now on.

Gotta hurry to turn off 60 Minutes!

I suddenly find myself a huge Illinois fan!

Hopefully someone else will beat UConn.

Lmao. Can we now get rid of the Laetner clip??

I like this No kings rally sign

This exemplifies the underhanded tactics the nyt, and this particular writer, use all the time. They foist their political biases on unsuspecting readers who count of them to be honest brokers🧵

Hey @kenmartin.bsky.social and @democrats.org, it would be great to hear from you about the homophobic posts in the last 24 hours from both @govpressoffice.gov.ca.gov and @drannieandrews.com. Is this what gay people should expect from Democrats this election cycle? Are you good with it?

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke
