“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

Thoughts and prayers for everyone suffering from CALIFORNIA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME this morning. California's economy is pulling ahead and growing faster than the ENTIRE NATION!

i’m so old i remember when obama called out SCOTUS for citizens united during a SOTU, predicting this would happen, and alito shook his head and said “that’s not true”

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress beforehand, or our allies, or coherently explain to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.

Trump says he’s justified in attacking Iran’s civilian infrastructure because the Iranian people support being bombed for the sake of regime change he claims has already occurred

The new wave of Democratic tax-cut plans has spurred a “wonk revolt” from liberal and moderate policy experts. The latter say the math won’t add up. The former say treating taxes as a punishment undermines the liberal project of a safety net. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

IMPORTANT: Trump is responsible for Iran now having a large amount of 60% enriched uranium. He pulled out of the JCPOA in 2018, which had been negotiated by Obama. It did not permit 60%. Iran was limited to less than 4%. The IAEA certified Iran was complying. Yet, Trump cancelled it. And here we are

conservative pundits, GOP apparatchiks and their various enablers spend 10 years insisting that racism is marginal to trump and trumpism trump:

The goal for liberals, progressives and the left should not be to become more effective on X. There is no path towards making that happen. The goal for liberals, progressives and the left should be to destroy X. We could achieve that if we all just left. X needs us. We don't need X.

The "ecosystem isn't broken" on X--it's working as intended. X is a fascist propaganda network because Elon Musk manipulates the algorithm to promote fascist content. Musk manipulates the algorithm to promote fascist content because he is a fascist. The game is rigged.

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The press continues to sane-wash an obviously INSANE American president. 😳👇

The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic. Boy, did they screw up.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

For the record I do not believe Congressional Republicans avoid going after Trump because they fear for their safety. Nothing has happened to those who did (Massie, Romney, etc). And they have no problem ignoring his orders when they want to (filibuster, skipping nomination hearings). 1/

Again, I don’t see how you can read this as anything other than Trump trying to normalize the idea of using nuclear weapons

Balint: "If President Biden or President Obama had said anything remotely like this, it would be nonstop coverage on every single channel and everyone on the other side of the aisle would be howling about it and demanding that they step down."

I wonder if there was some sort of reason the Founders routed the war power through Congress rather than the whim of one person. Probably not.

This is from my 2017 post: Normalizing Trump: An incredibly brief explainer pressthink.org/2017/09/norm... "A conflict in the journalist's code was created by a president wholly unfit for the job."

Musk’s food & medicine withdrawal from Africa already is doing Rwandan genocide numbers.

Another beautiful Easter message from the President who loves Jesus with all his heart and soul.

If you haven’t seen his 2016 love has no labels thing it’s beautiful youtu.be/s4IQXC9Lf5Q

It is true that we, the American public, have seen no indication that J.D. Vance is the nicest, funniest guy. On this there can be no disagreement.

Trump’s obscene budget.

This is straight up white supremacist agitprop

We told you.

Brent spot prices going cuckoo (via @roryjohnston.bsky.social)

Virginia, if you’re ready to stop Republicans in their scheme to rig the midterms, vote YES on the redistricting referendum. Early voting is now open until Saturday, April 18, so find your polling place at IWillVote.com.

A top FEMA official is doubling down on his claims that he teleported to a Waffle House.

More evidence that the Bezos Post editorial board is unhinged and shouldn't be taken seriously about anything bluevirginia.us/2026/04/satu...

Whom to believe? 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/w...

Trump is requesting $1.5 trillion for defense. That is roughly what the entire rest of the world spends on defense. China: ~ $300b. Russia ~ $200 b. Rest of NATO: $500b. It is more than the next 20 countries combined. No wonder we can't afford daycare, Medicare, food stamps etc.

Best Twitter riposte of the day.

The @washingtonpost.com describes the deaths of an estimated 750,000 people to date as "messy"

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

"'You make enough money, it doesn’t matter to you, right?' Trump recently told farmers. The words of a true political empath. But it gets worse."

Trump campaigned on ending wars. Now he’s billing us for new ones.

Trump less than 48 hours ago: "They have no anti-aircraft equipment.”

Since the U.S. and Israel launched attacks on Iran on Feb. 28, President Trump has made contradictory statements about the U.S.'s strategy for the war. Read more about what Trump said his aims were hours after those attacks and where the war stands now: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/u...

Trump’s new budget adds an extra $500 billion to fund wars abroad — about $3,700 more for every household in America — while cutting health, jobs, housing, and education. Put simply, it takes more of your money for foreign wars, while making life in America even more unaffordable.

Mockler: He said that we won this war. Every weapon system that was actually a threat to us is still intact. Rantz: That’s not true. Mockler: That is absolutely true. Why are the ballistic missiles still firing? Why is the strait of hormuz closed?

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

I understand that Viktor Orban clinging to power in Hungary is so important to Putin that he is doing everything possible to tamper in Hungary’s election, but why is it so important to Trump and Vance?
