The main reason for the organized assault by polluters & hired guns on the new @nationalacademies.org report on climate change & extreme event attribution (see my review here: michaelmann.net/comments-on-...) is the fact it provides a tool for holding them accountable for the damage they've done.

Once again, the President is spewing conspiracy theories that are just simply not connected to reality.

Over 800 wildfires are burning across Canada right now. Canada also holds more than a quarter of the world's boreal forest and is warming at twice the global average rate. The smoke is the part getting attention. Here is everything else. 🧵

The most important thing to remember about Trump’s press conference last night is that the war in Iran is still out of control, gas prices are still through the roof, and the administration is still hiding the Epstein files from the American people.

Our most capable servicemembers don’t all look like the GI Joes of the 1940s anymore. Secretary Hegseth needs to catch up – or step down.

People are overselling this: "My guess is they used detection that's passive." I did see a ... curious ... Iranian post on Xitter claiming they had used infrared (BUT BEFORE TODAY), so yeah, that may be it. I'm not sure they know yet.

My worry about the end of Pax Americana and how bad this was gonna get was actually really correct

reading a book about iran. apparently the gov there is run by a Supreme Leader who has conducted mass deportations, sent forces into cities, uses state licenses to control media, labeled protestors "enemies," slapped tariffs on industries, and is supported by religious extremists. didn't know this.

the CIA posts stuff like this so you can feel like you're part of the ruling class by purchasing a pair of $150 loafers off eBay instead of asking for affordable housing, free healthcare, and better working conditions

native americans determined to not be birthright citizens; deported back to america

hmm

People are celebrating Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi being fired — rightly so, as they're terrible — but I also fear that the second- and soon to be third-choice picks will be worse. Trump does not have a deep bench for competency and they are all driven by similarly evil values.

My guess is that Bondi was not fired for something like fumbling the Epstein files, but rather not prosecuting Trump's political enemies enough. Whoever follows her — and the subsequent person, after they're fired — will just be more sycophantic and bending to Trump's base desires.

you were never going to get an anti-war president from a chauvinistic, jingoistic political party full of people who fantasize about being in a holy war. and yet, despite the US Army raising the enlistment age to 42, not a single one of these pro-war podcasters and pundits have signed up to fight.

Please don't forget this story. They deliberately dropped off Nurul Amin Shah, a blind refugee, in freezing weather miles away from home. Less than a week later, he was dead. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Oh, they've all got one-way tickets to Kristi Noem Island. Including Kash Patel & Petulant Pete. Bongino and Bovino are already there waiting.

Bibi Netanyahu as America's president is making me nostalgic for Elon Musk as America’s president. #PresidentialAddress

It’s almost as if this war in Iran is being run by a drunken frat boy and a geriatric drug addict who wants the world to keep pretending he’s not a senile pedophile owned by Putin.

Trump just wished everyone a ‘happy’ Good Friday, my dude has zero clue as to the story of Jesus which is ironic as a bunch of Evangelical MAGA freaks worship the sorry POS. The only Bible he ever touched was upside fn down.

Once again Trump is spreading crazy anti-Ukraine conspiracy theories.

😐🇺🇸🇭🇺 Trump directly endorsed Orban ahead of Hungary's parliamentary elections on April 12. So Trump supports Putin's "lackey" Orban. And Trump does not support Zelensky, who is fighting against Putin.

📷 1: Ust-Luga, Russia, the fire continues. 📷 2: hundreds and hundreds of train cars in line to load and unload sanctioned Russian oil as soon as the fire is contained.

Viktor Orban wants Hungarians to re-elect him, even though he has turned Hungary into the most corrupt and one of the poorest countries in the EU. To do so, he is telling Hungarians to fear sabotage, thievery, or even a military attack from … Ukraine www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

With MO GOP Rep. Sam Graves' retirement this morning, House Republicans now have 39 open seats. That's closing in on the all-time record of 41 they set in 2018 ... and it's happening at a faster pace. Graphic by @donnermaps.bsky.social

House Republicans reject the DHS funding deal passed by the Senate last night and senators have all gone home and are in recess for the next two weeks. The dysfunctional Republican Congress.

I thought we had already won the war?

More evidence that five-year-olds shouldn't be given bombers and aircraft carriers to play with

Meanwhile, is it any wonder why Putin has shut down cell service in Moscow and is in hiding? Drones are changing everything.
