Many More Should Have Also Been Prosecuted….

It’s actually possible to write headlines that don’t obscure who did what. Thanks, AP.

Commentary: Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course?

objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

Travel writer Rick Steves voiced his support for the state's new "millionaires tax," signed Monday by Gov. Ferguson. "Even if you’re motivated only by greed, if you know what’s good for you, you don’t want to be filthy rich in a society with a huge gap between rich and poor."

Wow. Career ending in any normal times. "A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter." www.ft.com/content/744e...

When this is all over and we’ve had the trials and the sentencing this sacred bit of cardboard should be framed and mounted in the National Gallery of Art

Swalwell: "I want to knock out this argument we even need ICE doing what they're doing in the first place. If they are so easily moved from our streets, where they are terrorizing people, to passing out bottles of water in the airport, did we really need them terrorizing people in the first place?"

Virginia: early voting for the redistricting amendment is happening now through April 18. Protect your voting power and help level the playing field ahead of the midterm elections by voting YES today or on Election Day, April 21.

Look at this amazing analysis by *check notes* Donald Trump. Ever hear of this guy? He does make some great points about our current situation

The 92NY canceled my appearance in late October 2023 after I signed a ceasefire letter and reiterated my support for BDS. But they're ok with having this gentleman, Ilya Shapiro, who seems to like genocide and is vocal about it.

@markhertling.bsky.social says he would refuse President Trump’s orders to bomb Iranian power plants if he were military commander, warning that it is an illegal act. “I’m not doing it. And I’m not allowing my forces to do it.

Orban now backed by Trump, Vance, Putin and Netanyahu.

Around 7000 Americans were killed on Iwo Jima and 19,000 wounded, and it was part of a campaign that ended with a nuclear weapon being used, so maybe not the wisest comparison.

His son is Judge Smails grandson?

THE NOSTRADAMUS OF SOCIAL MEDIA

Not once does this story mention that offering a federal job in exchange for a political favor is a crime

I'm going to use every single millisecond of my allowed 3 minutes speaking time on Monday. If you live in the Atlanta area and have concerns about Flock Safety, you should too.

A little spot of good news on an otherwise bonkers day

The FCC is waiving a rule that bars a single company from owning TV stations reaching more than 39% of U.S. households. Nexstar and Tegna combined would cover ~60%. Reminder that Nexstar's CEO has praised Trump and quickly pulled Jimmy Kimmel off its stations last fall. See how this works?

ICE detention deaths are now occurring at a rate of roughly one every four days. Three weeks ago that rate was one every six days. The pace is accelerating, and Congress has not launched a single investigation.

TIL Ring camera "encryption" is a pretty neat lofi filter.

We just lived through the hottest decade on record. There’s no Republican or Democrat thermometer: climate change is real.

Spain's renewables build-out has structurally decoupled its electricity prices from gas markets. Gas now sets the price in only 15% of hours, compared to 90% in Italy. Countries that invested early in clean power are far less exposed to fossil fuel price shocks. Those that didn't now pay the price.

Soil.

The President of the United States said I insulted Jesus. You want to know what insults Jesus? Kicking the sick off their healthcare. Bombing schoolchildren in Iran. Deporting moms and babies. Covering up the Epstein files.

Your husband is this administration’s merchant of death.

That’s why I will never forgive the people who voted for it or didn’t vote at all… we will find a way of getting out of this but we will always remember what people did …not everybody quiet…

Again and again, Democrats have tried to fund TSA, FEMA and the Coast Guard while we negotiate on ICE and Border Patrol. Republicans have blocked us every time.

It's wild to me that higher ed leaders can tell themselves that institutional neutrality will get the job done and then you've got Hungarian ambassadors and Russian dissidents saying this is the way you aid authoritarianism

Heartbreaking segment from PBS. Hezbollah isn't encamped in a Christian village. These people are being killed simply because they are in southern Lebanon.Lebanese Christian villages caught in Israel-Hezbollah war youtu.be/fMF5qBeAMCo?... via @YouTube

Everything about this picture is how I pictured trump's second term

If we made the green energy transition this war would be unthinkable and these authoritarians wouldn’t be in power — not in the US, not in Iran, not in Saudi Arabia, not in Russia. Hydrocarbons are killing our freedom and just plain killing us.

“Dems need to strongly make the point that there was no imminent threat and that this war is a violation of the Constitution—and illegal,” Rep Adam Smith says, noting Trump is “ruling like a king instead of the elected president of a constitutional republic.” 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2072...

She's wasn't here to see the arrest of P̶r̶i̶n̶c̶e̶ Andrew, but don't let the world EVER forget Virginia Giuffre. Andrew & Jeffrey Epstein tried to SMEAR her. But she demanded justice. So we just installed this right outside Buckingham Palace. Welcome to the Virginia Giuffre Memorial Garden.

Unexpected bit of pop culture prescience…

Look at these charts. TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help. The timing coincides with the Trump administration’s dismantling of the CFPB. www.propublica.org/article/cred... @joeljacobs.bsky.social

The Tennessee Senate has passed a bill to make it illegal for corporate investors that own 100 or more single-family homes to buy houses in the state's largest counties. Nashville Democrat's Charlane Oliver’s “Homes not Hedge Funds Act” passed with only one no vote.
