I stand with James Comey…

In 1994, a man crashed his small plane into the White House. Clinton did not build a ballroom because of it. In fact he barely mentioned it. And he definitely did not say that no one can criticize him anymore.

No greater deconversion tool than the bible.

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Anyone suggesting we should stop accurately pointing out factual ways that the president is wrecking this country on a daily basis, or expressing an opinion about that, because of something a random nut does is espousing a profoundly un-American concept that I completely reject.

The murders of Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, along with the attempted murder of John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette barely lasted a news cycle. The attempted arson of Josh Shapiro's house didn't break through at all. Compare that to the coverage of charlie kirk.

So, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff was the one who tried to start the USA chant? Imagine that. Shots fired! Get down! And the White House Deputy Chief of Staff is trying to start the USA chant. Just like Butler. Because when shots are fired, that’s the first thing out of my mind and mouth!

Pope Leo turned the question around like the boss he is.

100 million undocumented people living in the US is both mathematically and logistically impossible. 100 million figure into perspective: it would b equivalent to taking 1 out of every 4 people from every Spanish-speaking country in the Americas. Someone would notice.

Perfect: CNN reports that Trump officials privately say his outbursts about Iran are hurting chances for a deal. As @emilyhorne.bsky.social and I discuss on the pod, Leavitt is reduced to citing the stuff Trump is blowing up as his main achievement in this fiasco: newrepublic.com/article/2093...

1) Stop calling stadium deals "public-private partnerships." That's a PR term used by stadium advocates. 2) Funding from "standard taxes" doesn't lessen the negative finance implications of the deal. 3) A stadium deal with a $50 mil subsidy is absolutely NOT a private matter.

Video posted from Iranian consulate in India, stating it is going viral in Iran. They are just mocking him….

Totally off-topic, but did y'all the know the Free State of Florida's citrus industry is basically dead?? This is quite a story: slate.com/business/202...

A New Jersey data center will reportedly receive $77 million in tax breaks — while only creating one permanent job. One job, in exchange for higher utility bills, noise pollution, and potential groundwater pollution. Is it any wonder communities are organizing to stop data centers?

Over on Truth Toilet, Trump said in his praise of Tim Cook, "I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to 'kiss my ass.'" And that's now the only way we should remember Cook: lips firmly attached to Trump's rear like a frantic remora.

Wild to keep hearing anti-AI sentiment described as an "echo chamber" by people who pretend there's never been a coercive dogshit marketing campaign actively pissing people off about it for two years or any no-opt-out half-baked shovelware making everyone's PCs and phones worse

new toon! www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

SCOOP --> Paramount, Meta, and X are refusing to say what happened to their huge contributions to Trump's presidential library after Sen Elizabeth Warren raised questions about its fund getting dissolved. Ds say tens of millions remain unaccounted for. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/2092...

thank you, wife

They run back the same playbook with the same players every Sunday.

Highly suggest this new book by @jeremyduda.bsky.social It is truly a microcosm of AZ criminal law in the 70s-90s. And my law firm was involved. Book chronicles decades-long investigation into bombing of Don Bolles azcentral.com/story/news/l...

Holy SHIT someone found the test pressing of Robert Johnson's Cross Road Blues and it is clear as a PIN www.openculture.com/2026/04/reco...

Here's 5 minutes of cuteness for your #Caturday: the friendship between an otter & an orange cat.

It's good to seek out expert opinions, but in this case, the person consulted doesn't appear to be familiar with the research. This statement is uninformed conjecture. Sports venues DO NOT increase the value of the tax base. At best, it's an intrajurisdictional reallocation.

The kids these days will hardly believe it, but a mere two years ago, the mental & physical (lack of) acuity of Elderly Presidents was the Great Issue of Our Time. Someone should tell Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson, so they can write a book on it.

Iran calling out Trump’s lies because they aren’t constrained by being complicit (Republicans and some media), angling for access (some more media) or holding on to some outdated notion of norms and decorum (Democrats)

We should be learning from other countries...

Happy Dogs 😊

I was there in the White House during Trump’s first term. I never saw him pray once. www.huffpost.com/entry/olivia...

Sources of public money for a Rays stadium may include sales tax money that voters were told wouldn't be used for stadiums, catastrophic/disaster response funds, property taxes from the area around the proposed stadium, and reply hazy, ask again later.

Trump coalition is collapsing. His net approval among noncollege whites has dropped 34 points. On Iran he's 13 points underwater with them. Orbanism is done. Meloni snubbed him. On the pod, @alexshephard.bsky.social and I dissect MAGA's collapse at home and abroad: newrepublic.com/article/2090...

"it’s sad to watch this country sabotage itself and cede the most important industry of the future to China.... In the end, we aren’t just burning fossil fuels; we’re also burning our future." open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

You probably think you can't hate Target more than you already do but ....

And yeah, the guy who spread a racist conspiracy theory was very much "all about the truth" sure, sure

Trump has cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration, as I predicted. While illegal entries have fallen, they continued a prior trend, falling more before he came back. Meanwhile, Trump has drastically cut legal entries, reversing the prior upward trend. www.cato.org/blog/trump-h...

Idiocy

Matt Randolph explains it pretty well: www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1VC...

The Rest of the World is fed up with our (47) bullshit and now hope we collapse. Example: =======

So just to check the till: Works in Nevada Works in Missouri But from Arkansas Sure, Jan.

Released 34 years ago today Bricks Are Heavy, the third studio album by L7, featuring the single Pretend We’re Dead L7 - Pretend We're Dead - Live Letterman 1992 #punk #punks #punkrock #grunge #L7 #bricksareheavy #womenofpunk #punkrockhistory #otd

It turns out that the DoorDash deliverer earlier at the White House was a Republican staged event. Sharon Simmons of Arkansas was used last year by the GOP to promote their “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

Usually economic shocks are called things like pandemics or oil embargoes. This version is more: bloke walks into the policy room, sees a rake, and steps on it repeatedly.

Chinese Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun: "We have trade and energy agreements with Iran; we expect others not to interfere in our affairs. The Strait of Hormuz is open to us."

Oh my what a Schlapp in the face this is

Having driven uber / lyft for several years and being intimately familiar with the economics of these apps I can 100% promise you that this is complete bullshit. You couldn’t get $11,000 in tips if you sucked everyone’s dick at the end of the ride.

The Onion has had for decades a gag that the people on the street that they interview are always these exact same people, and I think real life “random” people are the same

Hegseth has finally found the munitions he's been yearning for.

Like so many silent films, A Trip to the Moon has a wild story. The hand-painted color version of the film was thought to be lost for more than 90 years. A deteriorating print was discovered in 1993, setting off a restoration project that took nearly two decades to complete.
