I think it's time we brought the bonnet back for everyday wear.

Menu for the White House Correspondents' Dinner: / Gulf of America shrimp cocktail / Leni Riefenstahl salad, sanewashed and served with normalized onions / Quisling stew / Quiet Piggy pork roast / Sauvignon Blanc, very blanc, imported from South Africa / Orange sherbet / Let them eat cake

Just riffing, but do you think if Kash Patel were a woman they'd still have a job?

It's true. I had the pleasure of talking all about chocolate chip cookies on @allofitwnyc.bsky.social with Alison Stewart. So many good q's from callers, too.

My latest for The Contrarian celebrates the defeat of Orban in Hungary (and my Hungarian grandma!), with a recipe for apricot jam-filled palatschinken. contrarian.substack.com…

Since when?

America is sick with giant treeless asphalt parking lots. This should happen here. I know there are 50 different lobby groups that would oppose it, but we have to look to our future. How do we make this happen @andykimnj.bsky.social @mikiesherrill.bsky.social @booker.senate.gov

The temporary Squeaker of the House has a lot of excuses for Senile Satan.

Guys…

If any Republicans speak out about Trump posting a profane image of himself as Jesus, or his rant against the Pope, please post them here, so we can collect all of them in one space. I'll wait. 🦗🦗

If Trump popped out of an ornate Swiss clock every hour on the hour twittering like a bird he could not appear more cuckoo than he does each and every day all day long in his statements and actions.

The link if you don’t believe me. Let’s hear it for bringing back meritocracy, eh? www.facebook.com/share/v/1CPX...

If you attribute any method to Trump’s actions other than mental defect or disorder you are enabling him, sanewashing.

On the same night he defames the pope…

It says something about how awful Orban was that he made people actually care about a Hungarian election.

Looks like Trump is really on top of that whole Iran situation.

Note: Jon is a real expert here. JD is a smug bag of BS who has had one substantive job thus far as VP, today’s, worker at it for a few hours and then gave up and went home.

there is no level of hell deep enough for RFKjr

We can never unsee the genocidal monster Trump revealed yesterday. Even worse, we are likely to see more of him going forward. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-expose...

Congratulations to Homer on his new book

And it’s not his house.

Trump says he’s “ordering” CNN to retract their reporting and “authorities are looking to determine whether or not a crime was committed.” Dude thinks he’s a dictator.

As we progress through this evening I think it will be very important for people to be able to accept the idea that Trump is both a monster and he is full of shit...and that being full of shit does not make him any less monstrous.

I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".

Trump has nothing left to lose...

I’m terrified for them. I don’t think this would even give Hegseth pause

BREAKING: NYT’s Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan detail how Netanyahu sold Trump on going to war with Iran. It will be easy, they assured him. It was all lies. Here is an excerpt from this must-read article, just posted. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Sorry, America, but as a democracy we own the actions of our leader. We may despise Trump. But his actions are on us, will be associated with us by history and the world. Our democratic and institutional failures have put a genocidal monster on the world stage.

Iran’s “death to America” chants were hideous but at worst grim fantasies. Trump’s genocidal threat to destroy Iranian civilization could be made real in less than 12 hours.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

“Green’s unusual dismissal came amid a shakeup of top Army brass deployed by Hegseth, an avowed Christian nationalist who believes America’s war in Iran is sanctioned by God.” There is nothing confusing about them firing this Black man and why.

Trump and Hegseth halted funding for research to get blood to wounded U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy sailors: "When someone is wounded and survival depends on the availability of blood, this software would have made that survival more likely. Now it will not." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/s...

how is this man president how the question I ask from morning til night

That sound you heard was my NYT-loving, copy editor of a mother spinning in her grave.

you, a naive fool: i do believe there are some things the nytimes won’t both sides the nytimes:

Leaving this here for a couple reasons.

I’ve watched this so many times. Thanks @katiephang.bsky.social . 🥹

“The last night I was a pediatric resident, a child came in with Hib and promptly died by the next day. I didn’t work for 50 years to have everything destroyed by one man.” -Dr. Kathryn Edwards, Vanderbilt University This is what RFK Jr. and the anti-vaxxers have wrought.

Paula White compares Trump to Jesus during event with faith leaders: "You were betrayed and arrested and falsely accused. It's a familiar pattern that our Lord and Savior showed us. Because of His resurrection, you rose up."

an Arc de Trump? I suppose that should've been on my BINGO card.

Impossible to understand where we are now. 100 percent incoherent. A crazy, old, addled guy just begging for someone to put him in a home. Hope Vance is getting ready.

unlike education, health care, child care or parental leave which is woke bull shit

I know that we've all been through this hundreds of times in various iterations, but: It's really kinda nuts that the president of the United States is a deeply stupid, and deeply deranged, bucket of barely sentient sludge from Queens, and it just keeps...happening.

I have an urgent appeal to the arms control community: Please correct the record. Please defend the historic agreement you fought for. Please help people understand that the Deal was working: it stopped an Iran bomb and an Iran War. If you don’t; it will much harder to get such an agreement again.

Priorities. Universal pre-K for a year would cost less ($190B) than the supplemental request Trump is planning for just this past month's Iran fiasco.
