The president of Cornell backed his car into a student and a recent grad after a campus debate on Israel-Palestine. Then he lied about what happened in an email claiming he'd been the victim of harassment. Then, magnificently, Cornell's student newspaper found a video of the incident

NEW: Trump had begun comparing himself to Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon in private conversations. My look, w @michaelscherer, on Trump, his legacy, and the long scope of his history: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

a delusional Trump: "Everyone says if I was on the ballot, we'd win in a landslide. I have some of the best poll numbers I've ever had."

How much more abuse can the American people take from Trump and his MAGA congress?

Sen. Jack Reed: "61 days ago, President Trump unilaterally began the war in Iran. He had no coherent strategy. He refused to make a case to the American people…American families are bearing the cost of a war they wanted nothing to do with and have gained nothing from."

They said they'd bulldoze it & they did. These ratbastards just don't stop... www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

If this holds, this is going to be pretty significant. This could pave the way to unblocking the massive EU loan that Kyiv desperately needs, as well. en.interfax.com.ua/news/general...

Democrats really should sue CBS for big bucks, as @brianbeutler.bsky.social proposed here. open.substack.com/pub/brianbeu...

There’s no pause button in the Constitution, or the War Powers Act. We’re at war. We’ve been at war for 60 days. The blockade alone is a continuing act of war. Failing to seek congressional approval, Trump is breaking the law & betraying Americans.

Well, it's been a minute & Donald thinks we forgot SCOTUS' knock-down on his tariffs & he desperately needs a distraction so... TARIFFS ARE BACK, BABY! JFC. Give him a day & it'll be something else.

An Indian billionaire has offered to take in 80 of Pablo Escobar's “cocaine hippos” Columbia is planning to cull. “The hippos did not choose where to be born & are living, sentient beings & if we have the capacity to save them, we have to try.” #AnantAmbani2028 www.cnn.com/2026/04/28/a...

They don't actually need all those warehouse detention centers. That DHS cash can be waved at county jails across this country to house their "worst of the worst"... We'll be so deep into the police state by 2028... It ain't the building, it's the bribery. www.spotlightpa.org/news/2026/04...

Oh, Maryland, this is NOT how you ban surveillance pricing... WTAF did you just do? MD had a chance to help their people & squandered it, selling out to lobbyists for companies who depend on draining the bank accounts of the most desperate people in the state. pluralistic.net/2026/04/30/s...

Just hours after the Roberts Court legalized stripping Black Americans of representation, Alabama moves to do just that, repeating a pattern begun in 2013 with Shelby County v Holder. Within a day of that decision, Texas & North Carolina advanced broad spectrum vote suppression bills.

My solar panels were activated today! Not only that, but they have been activated for only a few hours and are already making more power than I use and it’s been extremely cloudy and rainy out. This was the best decision I ever made omg.

My latest is up! open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

NEW: The Supreme Court just gutted the Voting Rights Act, enabling the GOP to erase countless districts drawn to protect voters of color at the congressional, state, & local levels. We detailed each Dem VRA congressional seat that the GOP could target by 2028: www.the-downballot.com/p/with-the-v...

Saudi Arabia has pulled all funding for the LIV tournament. The PGA shows no signs of welcoming back the ship-jumpers. This is another opportunity for Cracky the Clown to stop another war. www.wsj.com/sports/golf/...

Given the argument that ended the VRA, I think it’s time liberals did some self reflection about the now decades long obsession with partisan polarization as the problem, as opposed to authoritarianism, extremism, oligarchy, and racism

The administration wants a rule change that deducts the value of a disabled adult’s bedroom from their SSI allotment, even if the family members they live with are poor enough to qualify for food stamps. #EndTrump www.propublica.org/article/trum...

BREAKING: Blanche, Woodward, and Trent McCotter file a deranged motion in the National Trust ballroom case asking the district court to "immediately" issue an "indicative ruling" that it will dissolve the preliminary injunction that DOJ has already appealed if it gets jurisdiction to do so .

when you're not reading the room

DOJ sells seashells by the seashore case to a federal grand jury in North Carolina.

Dismantling FOIA seems... bad? 🤷‍♀️ www.notus.org/trump-white-...

Ummm..... the census was held during the felon's first term, and he messed with it by cutting it short. If the census was off, the felon is to blame, not Biden. Here's a source. www.npr.org/2022/01/15/1...

But I was told Biden did nothing but arm the genocide because he loves genocide.

THIS will be the legacy Trump leaves behind... the question that begs an answer: "𝙎𝙤 𝙬𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚’𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙤𝙣𝙚𝙮 𝙜𝙤?" Read @willbunch.bsky.social & greet the truth: www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Q: If Lindsey wants US to pay for this ballroom that's never getting built, & Trump raised $400M from his pals for it, where's that $400M going? A: Trump's left pocket until he can unload it into his Venezuelan oil account in Qatar. #TheGriftItBurns

Because of course. Obviously, the N stands for Nazi... www.fastcompany.com/91532801/tru...

Nazi Immigration and Customs Enforcement nice

What the fuck is it with this ballroom? What is it code for?

This is Sen Cynthyia Lummis (R-WY). As you see in her post, she's more than a tad confused. If you have an X acct please take a moment to tell her that bill passed in the Senate 100-0. Only reason it's sitting dead now is Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to bring it to the floor. The more the better.

Senate Democrats are launching an investigation into the Kuwait strike that killed 6 U.S. troops and wounded 20+. Survivors say their post was a known Iranian target with no overhead protection. Accountability is overdue. Our troops deserve better.

Preservationists are pressing ahead with their lawsuit against President Trump’s planned $400 million White House ballroom, declining a request by the Department of Justice to withdraw the complaint following the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

Ladies, Gentlemen & all ships at sea... I give you German Chancellor Friedrich Merz: "the U.S. has no strategy for leaving the war & an entire nation is being humiliated by Iranian leaders who are very skillfully not negotiating.” www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

BASH: You and your fellow Democrats have used some heated rhetoric against the president. Do you think twice about that when something like that happens? RASKIN: What rhetoric do you have in mind? BASH: That he's terrible for this country and so on and so forth

ICE has violated almost 100 court orders. Let me say that another way. 100 times ICE was caught brazenly ignoring the law. 100 times a court told them to immediately stop. And 100 times they ignored the order. That's an out-of-control agency that shouldn't get another dime.

It's not enough that Amnesty International is issuing travel advisories ahead of US World Cup matches. Greg Abbott threatened to pull $200M in funding from Houston, Dallas, & Austin unless they make their local cops help ICE round up soccer fans. So they are. 🤬 www.latintimes.com/texas-govern...

NOT NO BUT HELL NO!!!! OTOH, by December, Putin could be begging for asylum at that goddamned golf club... 🤷‍♀️🇺🇦 #SlavaUkrainii www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

"The experience stunned Ms. Ross-Mahé, who previously supported President Trump... “I didn’t think these things existed,” she said of the immigration facilities she was held in. “I thought when we arrested them, we would treat them properly. It really shocked me.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/u...
