Baby Catholic Vance is Dunning-Krugering the Vatican and it's astonishing

JD Vance, god-splaining to the pope

Honest question What's going on up here? Wrong answers only

Trump also thought this pope pic was a 'doctor' too, I’m sure 👀

this is what's known as the "troll-and-roll." provoke outrage, get called out, roll it into a new outrage.

BREAKING: A coalition of 1,000+ stars & film pros just jumped into the fight to support state AG's investigating the Paramount-Warners merger Not a done deal! We @democracydefendersfund.org @filmcoalition.bsky.social @1acommittee.bsky.social & other GREAT partners r proud to help #BlockTheMerger

A little late night God complex from our narcissist in chief

A song for the moment

I spent 16, SIXTEEN years fighting this crap. I can’t believe it 😭

Orban conceded. Tisza on course for 2/3 majority with 72% votes counted. A good day for democracy. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

Do not miss: Tonight at 7pm ET @normeisen.bsky.social , @kimlanelaw.bsky.social (one of the top experts on Hungary, Orban, democratic backsliding) and I will have special report on Hungary elections- humiliation for Vance/Trump? a good sign for democracy? find out at www.contrariannews.org

the idea that vance is anti-war and was a skeptic seems really to come exclusively from vance and is not borne out by anything else in his record as vice president so far

Obliterated in June

The fragile narcissist in action

My favorite weirdos at my favorite Portland bike event: the Ladds 500

I scream, you scream, we all scream into the void... ...and start to feel better ?! My report from a gathering of the Portland Scream Society 😱🙀😱

it gets worse. This is resign in disgrace stuff

Four women “One member of Swalwell’s staff said they quit immediately after receiving CNN’s detailed list of questions about the allegations.” www.cnn.com/2026/04/10/u...

I got to report on the Portland people who gather to scream into the void

My memory of the John Edwards scandal is a lot of Dem fury that he ran despite a scandal that would have probably blown up the party's chances had he won the nomination.

Yeah Swalwell is done

this is kind of over

the audacity to run with a skeleton like that in your closet.

TFW you give a fragile narcissist naming rights and a monument budget

Trump is seeking to rename all the things My exploration of the president's egotitical excess: www.contrariannews.org/p/operation-...

Pete Hegseth believes that Jesus guides Tomahawk missiles, even when they hit elementary schools. I wrote about the roots of his militant faith - from the Crusades to the confederacy - and what they mean for the US and Iran today.

“Sweet pea”

ICE agents shot another driver -- on Tues. He had just asked to call his wife. They shot him six times. One bullet his jaw. Now he can't speak and has been mostly unconscious. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/09/u...

Love, Melania

Not that we haven't seen this photo a million times, but I'm glad that CNN is running it with a story about Melania Trump denying that she has any ties to Epstein and Maxwell. www.cnn.com/2026/04/09/p...

Any Democrat not amplifying the First Lady’s immediate call for congressional hearings (“We must work openly and transparently to uncover the truth about Epstein”) is committing political malpractice

My "I am not Epstein's victim" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

Amazon has been wildly corrosive to the principle of ownership

Huge shift in American views of Israel 2022: 55% view Israel favorably, 42% unfavorably 2026: 37% view Israel favorably, 60% unfavorable Generational divide hits both parties: 57% of *Republicans under 50* are negative on Israel via Pew Research Center poll: www.pewresearch.org/wp-content/u...

EFF is finally leaving X and here is a blog post about why: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

We shouldn’t expect Trump to moderate in the face of mounting losses - whether they be political (midterms), military (Iran), or policy-driven (courts) losses. A lesson of January 6th is that when faced with a loss, Trump becomes more extreme, not less - just like other aspiring autocrats.

“Why aren’t college students protesting” stories are almost always wrong (they are protesting), omit crucial context (they were brutally punished for protesting before), and somehow suggest that 19 yr olds have more moral responsibility than elected officials three times their age

BREAKING CBS: Survivors of the deadliest Iranian attack on U.S. forces have disputed the Pentagon's description of events and said their unit in Kuwait was left dangerously exposed when six service members were killed and over 20 wounded. The members disputed the description from Pete Hegseth.

On this day, 1865: the last Confederate flag, a white dish towel.

Always unsettling to run into illiberal left types who don't believe journalists have rights to report on people doing newsworthy things in public places

Every year we hire a few editorial fellows to do fact-checking and reporting. Great entry/early career gig that has helped populate pretty much every news org you've heard of: www.motherjones.com/careers/fell...

"Other countries are our property, and we dictate their behavior. You know, like women in marriage."

More evidence that Big Tech is locking us into a new generation of fossil fuel infrastructure and destabilizing our climate: the 5 largest hyperscalers have announced 16GW of power deals this year, and only 3GW have been for clean power.

He's a modern Crusader, jeebus

We love our jobs and are proud of our work. But we need a fair contract — just cause, fair wages and basic AI guardrails — to do this work well. So we’re striking today. Don’t cross the picket line.

I know folks get jazzed seeing Tucker Calson say things that are antiTrump, but this is not one of those enemy of your enemy is your friend situations. Trust

JUST IN: Liberals have won a decisive victory for the Wisconsin supreme court race tonight. Chris Taylor will join the supreme court, flipping a conservative-held seat. This expands liberals' majority on the court to 5-2. Why it matters: boltsmag.org/wisconsin-su...
