Trump is wholly ignorant of the text, meaning, spirit, and theology of the scriptures he claims to love. He doesn’t know them. He doesn’t read them. He doesn’t study them. He doesn’t live them. Like everything else, he only manipulates and twists them for his own purposes.

The arch, the ballroom, the disaster he has made of the Kennedy Center. It all has to be reversed. Along with any other crazy monuments he builds to himself in the coming months he remains in office.

Amazing!

ICE/DHS statistics are garbage. The opening paragraph of this article also shows why Trump’s and Hegseth’s summary execution of people in boats on the ocean is unnecessary and unjustified. Who are ICE's 'worst of the worst' in Wisconsin? Most were already in prison www.jsonline.com/story/news/l...

The doctor has spoken! 😂

In a world of Washington Post and New York Times headlines, be like the Miami Herald.

For the millionth time, I am glad that I dropped my WaPo subscription back in October 2024 when Bezos made crystal clear he would use the paper for his own propaganda purposes. And that is what it has become: a mouthpiece for the super-wealthy to assert control over public discourse and debate.

JD Vance just said: “Stopping funding for Ukraine is one of the things I’m proudest we’ve done in this administration.” What a disgusting statement. I was just in Kharkiv and saw the damage that Russian missiles and drones inflict. If Ukraine received more US interceptors, it could save more lives.

they asked great (and hilarious) questions like, "why is trump have beef with the pope?" and "why does trump hate black people?"

what do you even fucking do with this, man? the president is beefing with the pope while posting AI sop pictures of himself as jesus and the catholic vice-president is telling the pope he is doing theology wrong. i am not and have never been religious and this shit shocks and bothers me.

The Trump-Orbán vision of national self-determination is a sham. Yes, Trump won legitimately in 2024. But after only one year, every pillar of his nationalist agenda—the tariffs, the deportations, the “America First” imperialism and conquest—has already proven profoundly unpopular. trib.al/9AC1oIa

one of the best NYT headlines ever. We have newly baptized JD Vance telling the "infallible" Pope how to do the religion part of his job I'm as lapsed as a Catholic can be (don't tell my mother) but even i know that is not how it works

Someone had fun with this headline.

This war has been a complete and total disaster. We need to end it, now.

Interference in US domestic affairs by strongman-led right-wing regimes? You don’t say!

Democracy found a way to persevere in Hungary despite Victor Orbán’s takeover of elections, the media, and democratic institutions. It can here too. bit.ly/4vuVfBn

Schimel is right about this. This and other statutes that the GOP-gerrymandered legislature and Scott Walker enacted to cement their partisan political advantage, it is now backfiring on them. GOP law allowing unlimited party donations is 'terrible,' Schimel says www.jsonline.com/story/news/p...

There’s cheering ’cross the world tonight As Viktor Orban takes the L But louder still the cheers will rise When Donald Trump heads down to Hell

Send JD Vance to Wisconsin once a week this fall

All honor to the Hungarian people for showing the way.

To the doomers who keep saying Trump will rig the 2026 and 2028 elections: Do not concede in advance

Hungary has chosen Europe. Europe has always chosen Hungary. A country reclaims its European path. The Union grows stronger.

The next Democratic administration will need to hire dozens, if not hundreds, of lawyers for the SEC’s Enforcement Branch to incessant prosecute insider trading. These guys make Ivan Boesky look like a piker.

Remove. Him. From. Office.

Now THIS is the way to write a headline! How Much Humiliation Can Vance Take? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/o...

I would highly encourage everyone to try it at least once. If a full 15 hours is too much, there are morning and afternoon shifts available (6 am - 2 pm and 1 pm - 9 pm) and these are paid positions too.

Pure projection.

This is an account close to the Iranian leadership. We are now seeing the shape of why Iran agreed so enthusiastically to this "ceasefire". They will control and toll the Strait for the first time. They keep their nuclear program. They keep their missiles. What a disaster.

Wise words from Spain's Prime Minister: “The momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost. The govt of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What is needed now: diplomacy, international law and PEACE.”

It is hard to overstate just how big a catastrophe this is for the U.S. trib.al/QgFhuya Trump's hubris cost thousands of lives, rattled economies around the world, and made the U.S. significantly weaker.

This is simple but brilliant. When I moved to Madison #Wisconsin in 2005, I frequently saw then-Mayor Dave Cieslewicz walking around downtown. As a new resident of even a mid-size city like Madison, it gave me the feeling that my mayor was accessible and built a lot of goodwill.

😂

“There is an uptick in traffic in the strait today” She knows it’s only 3 ships. Before the war? 135 ships/day. Seems like Iran is still calling the shots.

Cardinal Pierre was, from 2016 until earlier this year, the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States — i.e., the Vatican's ambassador to the U.S. Vance is Catholic, has made that fact a significant part of his public persona, and has a book on his conversion to Catholicism coming out this year.

💯

I'll side with the Vatican, thanks very much. And I'm not Catholic.

Both Trump and Vance are buffoons but Vance tops Trump in one way: he’s a tool as well.

As he always does, @danshafer.bsky.social nails the analysis of yesterday’s #Wisconsin Supreme Court election.

So much winning! 🙄

A disaster for everyone but Trump, his family, and others of his acolytes who are likely making bank through Trump’s market manipulation by trading on inside information. Trump is a con man and a thief. He’s doing exactly what con men and thieves would do.

Todd Blanche is dead wrong on his assertion that Trump is the client to whom Assistant US Attorneys owe an ethical duty. Trump is NOT the client; the UNited States is. Blanche is living proof that Trump is a cult leader and that Blanche has drunk the Kool-Aid.

It can certainly be read as a love letter to Putin — Maria Popova has a point as usual — but whatever happens the expression of a genocidal wish by the president of the United States is a horror we will never live down.

A genocidal threat from a U.S. president is beyond dangerous. Escalating strikes while threatening to wipe out an entire civilization puts innocent Iranian civilians and Americans at risk. These are intentional war crimes. We need to invoke the 25th Amendment now to stop these violations.

💯 I recall one of my college political science professors discussing the Cuban missile crisis in a class in 1985 and recounting sitting around one night in 1962 and wondering if the world was going to end. For the first time, I'm beginning to understand what that vibe might have been like.

This is really good as well. So far Ted Lieu, Chris Murphy, and Elissa Slotkin making this point with crystal clarity. More Dems need to do this.

An American President threatening to end a civilization is not just anti-American, it’s flat out crazy.

The President is threatening genocide and possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran. It’s clear the President has continued to decline and is not fit to lead. The members of his Cabinet must invoke the 25th Amendment immediately.

It’s a beautiful day to VOTE here in the city of Milwaukee! It was busy but efficient at my polling place at the MPS admin building, with lines moving quickly and many casting their ballot. Every election matters, folks. Be sure to make your voice heard.
