lmao, i love this for all of them. try to jam a party-line reconciliation budget that slashes medicare, medicaid and all other kinds of services while ramping up giant military funding for a deeply unpopular war in an election year where both your party and president are deep underwater

More than 2 million oil and gas wells sit unplugged in the U.S., many leaking contaminants into waterways, farmland and neighborhoods. Time and time again, oil companies have walked away — leaving taxpayers to pay for cleanup. Here’s how. (Published Dec. 2024)

Trump has insulted and tariffed his European allies, persuaded Denmark to prepare for a US invasion and, by pressuring Ukraine and not Russia, encouraged Putin to keep fighting. All of which he has forgotten. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

"..did that victory prove that loads of people.. really prefer Green female plumbers to foreign-crypto-funded climate-denying friends of the Epstein-adjacent adjudicated sex offender and convicted fraudster Donald Trump, or were there more sinister forces at work?" www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Incidentally, the far right IS turning on Whiskey Pete, even sort of kind of bc he's firing competent brown and female people during war. Greg Kelly actually has the ability to get inside Trump's brain.

"Iran has shot down a US fighter jet, & a search & rescue effort is underway to locate two crew. Iranian state TV channels called on civilians in area where the jet was downed to search for the crew members, & said whoever finds them will be rewarded by the govt."

This might seem kinda petty in the grand scheme of things but this is the White House using high gas prices as an excuse for MORE giveaways to oil & gas co's. Pls leave a quick comment- it can just be "I don't think this place should be drilled."

yes you fucking morons free preschool for everyone or it becomes just "free preschool for the poors" and then you call them leeches and ask for tax breaks when really we want free preschool for everyone because we want smart well adjusted kids why is this so hard? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/31/n...

It says a lot about where we are that one can read the entire @nytimes.com story on the firing of the Attorney General of the United States without a *single* reference to that officer's duty to uphold the Constitution—which might just sometimes make it just a little hard to do the boss's bidding:

I hope this is driving home to folks that anti-DEI/anti-woke are functioning mostly as a way to make racism more palatable by framing it as a kind of defensive reaction to an imagined unfairness.

Incredible footage from a United Airlines flight of the Artemis II launch.

This is proof that sometimes you never know how good things can get, and even then, they can sometimes get even better. 13/10 for all (TT: matiastapia2409)

Not as bad as it looks, folks. Current oil price futures show oil going down to almost the price it was at in February ... By December 2028. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/next-...

Until today “Trump will draw attention back to the Epstein files to distract from his Iran humiliation” was like a B- internet joke.

Set aside time to read this Wired unmasking of BORTAC goons. Here's a predictable detail: One of them sells testosterone supplements. Somewhere the Red Flag Nanny was caught sleeping. www.wired.com/story/border...

congratulations to trump and bibi for starting a war and immediately making the iranian regime the strongest and richest it has been in its entire history incredible, world-historic geopolitical fuckup

Since Liberation Day, a year ago today: * US foreign direct investment is lower * US factories employ 89,000 fewer people * US goods trade deficit is UP 2% @npr.org www.npr.org/2026/04/02/n...

I think we're frozen in place because of HIM, in some way. Because we can't react to him correctly. There's a normal chain of cause and effect that's supposed to take place when someone does all the bad things he's done and it keeps not happening and it's breaking everything else in the world

So basically, we don’t have money for daycare because we’re using it to blow up schoolchildren.

This is a really cool community engagement thing the Cleveland Division of Air Quality is doing

And why schedule an Easter lunch and his warmongering speech bookending Artemis? Artemis is the single thing that could get everyone in the US on the same page. Trump's attempting to upstage it.

Gutter racism is one of Trump's five load-bearing personality traits along with greed, rape, ego, and ignorance.

OH HELL YES. NEIL GORSUCH, THE LAST JUSTICE OF THE MOCHICANS, ASKS "Do you think Native Americans are citizens of the united states." IF YOU TRIP GORSUCH'S NATIVE AMERICAN WIRES, YOU LOSE. GOOD DAY, SIR!

Think about this: A retired game show host may end the world as we know it. Only a master satirist could write this scenario, but Mark Twain is dead.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ole_Iva... A hell of a lot of people have to learn who Ole Ivar Lovaas is and what he did to autistic kids and queer kids.

Stay frosty, my friends. For it is THE DAY OF LIES. Dipshitted shenanigans abound! Foolish chicanery everywhere! Japes by those people and companies who are very bad at japes! Hide in the dark! Trust no one till the sun has set upon this stupid day!

NASA's Artemis II mission aims to send four astronauts around the moon on a roughly 10-day journey that could help pave the way toward a future lunar landing. n.pr/3PIci2C

Remember Europe, when you import US LNG you don't only directly contribute to the destruction of the climate and complete environmental devastation of the Permian region of Texas and the poisoning of all the people who live there, you import benzene right into your homes. Benzene is very bad.

Notable in this: They're NOT considering that oil will go to $200, which experts say it might. Still working on fantasy not reality.

BREAKING: “It is increasingly clear that as the world continues down this volatile path our long term national interest requires closer partnership with our allies in Europe and with the European Union.. Brexit did deep damage to our economy” Prime minister Keir Starmer 👏

The big thunderstorm today was super noisy.

Tech giants like Apple, Google, and Microsoft are among those on a target list released by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. www.wired.com/story/iran-t...

Complain that immigrants are loafers, then deny them mechanisms to make economic progress. There is no logic for it beyond anti-immigrant hate.

hell yea

I feel like someone with far more moral authority than me needs to say this, over and over: Trump entrusted the fate of the country, the world economy, and thousands of service members, to his wildly conflicted son-in-law and developer buddy, who reportedly didn't know fuckall that they were hearing

Hard to overstate how obvious this was in Minneapolis. They'd roll around the neighborhood in full gear, doing nothing immigration-related at all, wait for angry crowds to gather, and then attack them with tear gas and pepper spray! It was a violent siege and the feds owe us billions in reparations.

Yeah, several months ago I was posting a book recs guide for not HP basically, and a friend who LOVED HP messaged me on insta and was like "Wait what?" she's a p offline mom of young kids and she legit had no idea. Was about to start them on the series and decided not to when she found out.

Only note here: I think the NYT might have missed that this could be an homage to January 6, since some pardoned visitors would be undoubtedly familiar with breaking and entering governmental buildings through the windows.

Looking into your local Food Not Bombs and other mutual aid groups and donating or volunteering feels especially important here if you haven't already

I know I've re-shared this quote a lot, but it has haunted me for months.

There's not a lot of room left for him to fall. His diehard cultists will stick with him to the end. Nixon still had about 25% approval through his impeachment and resignation, and I bet Trump can beat that. But Republicans who are on the ballot this fall should be in full panic by now.

It's my own fault for using ChatGPT as a search tool, but this really made me laugh. "...with an important nuance..." is sublime 🤌

The only thing more dangerous than an unbound strongman launching elective wars is when those wars go badly. No telling what Trump will do to save face, create the mirage of victory, and extricate himself from the box canyon into which he triumphantly galloped. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

2028 litmus test: Will you immediately destroy whatever ends up here and rebuild the East Wing with the same exterior dimensions as the one that was there on January 20, 2025?

This is the most stereotypical, generic suburb in the country It has a Republican mayor and all 3 county commissioners are Republican Don’t say these rallies aren’t accomplishing anything
