There it is: A full year of days spent playing golf in just over five years as president. www.pbump.net/outofoffice

This is really worth your time. His co-hosts wind up laughing at him.

Dear G!  How are you?  Nice story about J. E. in New York mag, you look great on the picture. I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY. Have a great time! Love, Melania

Right now, we are witnessing a preview of what could happen in the USA this November. Hungary's opposition party, Tisza, is so far ahead in the polls that they are on track to win a supermajority in the parliament, spelling the end of Orban. The only way Orban can remain is to subvert the election.

This week's edition of the UK's New Statesman magazine isn't pulling its punches.

“.. The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history.” @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2087...

What - no proof of citizenship needed? No birth certificate? No passport? Funny how automatic registration works for the draft, but not for voting. Automatic registration for US military draft-eligible men to begin in December www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation, but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history. trib.al/VVZfBVu

It is hard to capture what a sweeping strategic defeat the war in Iran has been for the United States. I’m going to thread here some of the posts today that try to capture those effects. Here’s the first:

🔥 @rokhanna.bsky.social to Democratic leadership: “Get out. Let a new generation lead. You’ve been ineffective. The base doesn’t like you. The base wants fighters.”

All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

We won't last 33 more months of this. This must stop. We must make it stop.

for me impeachment isn't what we should be after. this president and most of his cabinet and staff should be prosecuted for corruption, fraud, war crimes, obstruction, and all the various crimes they have committed. i will only vote for a presidential candidate in 2028 who commits to this.

Millions of American voters wanted to be villains. They came to believe it’s the key to success, while goodness is weak, woke, loser stuff, done only to signal. Offered the option of unvarnished villainy, they enthusiastically took it. Seeing others suffer more made them feel big. And here we are.

Trump just told the world that our downed pilots are trained to seek higher ground. So now everyone knows where to find them. Cool.

So, to sum up, a couple of days ago Christina Koch became the first woman to see Earth in its entirety, and today – right now, in fact – she is the first woman to see the Moon up close, and the first woman to see the far side. 🥹

It’s probably nothing. 🤡 @dkthomp.bsky.social

Rep. Balint: "My Republican colleagues have accepted for themselves that there's no bottom. They will continue to support this man regardless of how unhinged and how unfit he is for office. It's disgusting."

And they think he's a Christian... Happy Easter Everyone.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

I'm cringing with embarrassment that an American president wrote this. Absolutely cringing.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

If you’re going to rage-tweet a war, at least learn the difference between “reign” and “rain.” 🤡

No US manned combat jet had been shot down by enemy fire in more than 20 years, until Iran downed a US F‑15 and an A‑10 after Donald Trump claimed its defenses were “completely decimated.” www.msn.com/en-ca/news/w...

"We're in war." That's all he had. Four words. For a missing pilot. For a bounty on an American's head. That's your commander in chief.

We are screwed….

She chose to sacrifice her integrity for power and now she has neither.

PM of Poland

Prophetic, although not exactly rocket science.👇🏼

👇👇

Trump’s corruption and grift is unprecedented.

👇👇

Accountability brings consequences. And consequences are the only language corruption understands. Money and political power do not outrank the Constitution. They just need a wake up call and it’s coming at the midterms.👇

Right, simply entertaining this challenge as if it's remotely legitimate is already discrediting. If there's a single vote to end birthright citizenship, we need to take this Supreme Court apart with sledgehammers and start over.

Absolutely right! That is what Republicans do — take credit for other people’s work.

I assure you that if 8 million right leaning protesters had turned out against Obama it the NYT would have given it banner treatment eg POPULIST REVOLT

✊✊

Now get out and vote in the midterms like your life depends on it, because it does. #NoKings

Great thread to follow throughout the day.

Pete Hegseth removed 4 decorated Army officers—2 Black, 2 women—from a promotion list. The Army Secretary refused, calling their records exemplary. Hegseth overrode it. Possibly illegally. They gave decades to this country. He erased them & called it meritocracy. This is white Christian nationalism.

Time to give TSA workers a raise. They don’t make enough money to put up with this insanity.
