“All we have to fear, is fear itself” “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” “What the hell is a corner store?” Great Presidential quotes of our time

As an American. I make the decision to buy a gun and go shoot somebody. I get convicted and go to jail. An a health Insurance exec. I make the decision to deny care and kill someone. I get a bonus.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court DISMISSES DOJ lawsuit to obtain access to Rhode Island's unreacted voter file. In these cases nationally, my law firm is now 5-0 and DOJ is 0-5. Not sure how Harmeet is going to explain this to her "boss." www.democracydocket.com/cases/rhode-...

"You're just voluntarily complying with this whimsical cosplay" -- holy shit, Tim Kaine is *demolishing* Russ Vought

This is the one representative for the entire state of Maine who just voted as the only Democrat to approve the war with Iran, giving Trump exactly what he wants. One vote across the aisle was needed. He doesn’t represent people. Just Israel.

Mamdani: Democratic socialism viable anywhere. “...this is a politics that can flourish anywhere, because there is only one majority in this country – that’s the working class, and it’s time we have a politics that puts them at the heart of [public policy]..." www.commondreams.org/news/mamdani...

Trump has been telling comedians they’re not funny (Colbert/Kimmel), singers they’re no good (Swift/Springsteen) actors they can’t act (De Nero/Streep) or sports legends (LeBron) is one thing, but telling the Pope he’s not a good Catholic is jumping the shark

Exclusive A formal union complaint has been filed with the National Labor Relations Board against FIFA and Kroenke Sports & Entertainment, which accuses them of failing to restrict ICE access to SoFi Stadium ahead of the World Cup. www.nytimes.com/athletic/720...

A convicted felon as President of the United States talking about removing criminals is the very definition of hypocrisy.

Today's cartoon by Michael Ramirez for the Washington Post:

Vote by mail push launches in Dayton "It has proven to be safe and secure, it's convenient. It allows people who otherwise might not be able to get to the polls during the regular operating hours to have their voice heard" -Christine Corba, LWV of the Greater Dayton Area www.wyso.org/news/2026-04...

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

We should be learning from other countries...

Donald Trump bragged about grabbing women by the pussy. He was credibly accused of sexual assault by 20+ women. He is alleged to have raped at least one child. He was found liable of sexual abuse. And Republicans made him president. Twice. They don’t get to pearl clutch now.

American soldiers who perished in the Iran war would still be alive today if Kamala was President.

“Reported to Me?!?” Every American Should Be Outraged!

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals have secured a majority government, winning all three of Monday’s by-elections and full control of the House of Commons. Read more here: www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/art...

If you cannot tell, you should consult your physician.

Meanwhile, the typical American will pay a federal income tax rate of 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like. [Via @itep.org]

Look at Maria Bartiromo’s face.

Erica Payne, founder of Patriotic Millionaires, laments the "freak show in the WH" is posting memes about being Jesus and fighting with the Pope while we live in a nation that (in theory) demands the separation of church and state. She finished with, "For heaven's sake! Enough already"

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

This is horrific. A U.S. citizen describes the facility in Arizona that her husband was brought to while he waited to be put on a deportation flight. Dozens of people were crammed into tiny cells, there was a "chain of people vomiting" from filthy toilets, no medical care, and only one meal per day.

A young man from Sichuan, China goes to "Skid Row" in Los Angeles to feed the homeless. Ends up getting arrested.

NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC. Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.

OK, now do bribes.

I’ll never get tired of watching people in Budapest celebrating getting rid of Viktor Orbán. I’m dancing along with the people of Hungary! 💃

With #Artemis2 still in our minds, we sat down this evening to finally watch Hidden Figures. What a fantastic movie and inspirational story, everyone should give it a watch.

Same people telling you to stop eating avocado toast and buying $7 coffees are mad you're not taking on the up to $30k it could take to have a baby. And also that you didn't start at 15.

Younger Hungarians saved their country from the influence of older, outdated voters who are easily swayed. Similarly, younger voters in the United States are poised to save us from the influence of the baby boomer generation, and I eagerly anticipate this change. www.theguardian.com/world/video/...

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

Who would’ve guessed? An administration filled with grossly incompetent people, led by the stupidest president to ever occupy the Oval Office, failed to end the illegal war they started. April 12, 2026.

How is the PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY OF STATE AT A UFC FIGHT in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart. PROBABLY PLAY GOLF tomorrow too.

There is hope for the midterms 🙏🤞

The first American leader of the Catholic Church has fiercely criticized the war in Iran, deepening tensions between the United States and the Vatican.

The real problem with data centers: they inherently create a serious pollution problem. There is no "closed-loop system" cooling those centers. They consume large amounts of water and produce toxic byproducts. Studies are compromised to hide these problems. REJECT! /P.1 #datacenters #pollution

Way better than the current embarrassment…
