The world is pouring nearly $3 trillion into weapons while people are told there’s no money for healthcare, housing, daycare, or education. The “budget crisis” is a political choice: war gets funded first, human needs get cut.

Misogyny and racism comes in many forms

I asked Matt Mahan on a Zoom call last week about his donations from major players in Peter Thiel's orbit and he told me I was cherry picking donations and generalizing. Anyway, the co-founder of Palantir donated to both Mahan and Republican Steve Hilton within 24 hours.

CBS News obtained from Tehran—rare for U.S. news—a visa to report live in Iran. Bari Weiss decided they won’t use it and banned CBS from going at the request of the Administration. That’s not independent journalism. That’s hiding what’s actually on the ground in Iran from us

Israeli settlers set fire to a Palestinian home in the occupied West Bank village of Jalud, reportedly as residents were still inside. The attack comes amid wider violence in the occupied territories, with settlers attacking Palestinians and Israeli forces carrying out arrests.

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.

A huge scam: Trump’s DOJ is now using taxpayers as a piggybank to pay off his followers. 

They have spent $8.5 million and counting of your money to pay off frivolous claims, enriching his friends while corrupting our justice system.

This crap cost $17.4 million, according to new reporting from NYT’s @fahrenthold.bsky.social, identifying it as a no-bid contract awarded to his ballroom builder, with taxpayer cost inflated to more than 5x originally projected in 2022

Madiba Dennie, the deputy editor of Balls and Strikes who appeared on the Amicus episode, called the irony "funny because Republicans could have come together with Democrats at any time and said, 'we're going to end partisan gerrymandering.'" www.rawstory.com/virginia-267...

The courts should simply hold that the War Powers Resolution requires the president to end our involvement in the war with Iran unless and until Congress authorizes it. This shouldn’t be — and isn’t — different than any other injunction on any administration to comply www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/o...

He’s setting up concentration camps to remove what he deems undesirable populations from the country for fuck’s sake. The comparison makes itself.

We're at 56 years and counting of a GOP-appointed SCOTUS majority, since 1970, and it's effectively self-perpetuating now. When presidential wins alternate near evenly. It doesn't take a partisan preference either way to see how insanely unhealthy that is. It's indefensible on neutral principles.

Staggering and heartbreaking to reflect on the damage the Trump administration has done in just 15 months to foreign relations, trade and the economy, the environment, justice, national intelligence, public health, the Church, the Republican party, the First Amendment, and the American way of life.

By this same logic, Donald Trump bears direct personal responsibility for the murder of Melissa Hortman, the assault on Paul Pelosi, the guy who showed up armed at the Obamas, the attempted pipe bombing of several prominent Democrats, the January 6th rioters who assaulted cops, and many many more.

The fastest way to de-escalate political tensions is for the President of the United States to stop calling half of the country "traitors" and "enemies of America." Agreed?

This move by SCOTUS is deeply insulting. The district court gathered a massive amount of evidence in record time, and District Judge Jeffrey Brown wrote a careful 160-page opinion. Now a majority of justices have dispensed with it without even providing a full written opinion.

At the mere mention of a shooter in the building, watch how Stephen Miller, Kash Patel, and Erica Kirk react. These are the same people demanding our children endure hundreds of school shootings a year — they expect kids to be braver than they are. This is hypocrisy personified.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 US military planes form airbridge, transporting cargo into bases in the Middle East.

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.

A real journalist would've pointed out that he was, in fact, convicted of sexual assault, and that all his appeals have failed. @cbsnews.com no longer employs real journalists, apparently.

Well, that touched a nerve! I hope every journalist sees this clip, because that’s what Trump thinks about all of them - except for his propaganda networks of course.

Remember how less than three weeks ago the president threatened to kill an entire civilization

The solution isn't a ballroom. Here are some ideas: 1. Stop the MAGA propaganda machine that blurs the line between fact and fiction 2. Stop the right wing extremist violent rhetoric, including from the president 3. Common sense gun laws 4. Break up the corporate media conglomerates 1/

US bases got DESTROYED & admin HID IT! Iran’s strikes caused more damage to US military bases across Middle East than trump admin has acknowledged. Iran hit more than 100 targets across 11 bases in 7 countries. Damage @ US installations in Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Iraq & Saudi Arabia.

This was not the president's event.

Palestinians have buried a pregnant woman and her two children killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza.

The media lives for opportunities to say “Democrats should be nicer to Trump.” They want to exist in the permanent state of “both sides” and are uncomfortable with straight reporting on Trump being a dementia-addled, incoherent, narcissistic fascist.

As the administration remains bogged down in Iran and gas prices continue to soar, causing a ripple effect throughout the American economy, I think it's great that Republicans are all insisting that their deeply unpopular president who made all this shit happen deserves his gaudy golden ballroom.

Appreciate this detail from CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs. It's an important part of the story that seems to be missing from a lot of comments & coverage.

however many seats you think you need in Nov, add one because this dude is not just a Republican he is maga base

Politics was invented to prevent violence. When violence enters politics, politics fails

The political violence we are routinely witnessing is the worst of my lifetime. It’s but one indicator of the ideological extremism and polarization that makes some view violence as an option to address their grievances. We cannot go on this way — it’s unacceptable.

Let's see how far this goes. Sadly, the facts do not seem to matter in this corrupt administration. Criminals are openly flaunting the laws that they swore to protect for their own enrichment. Sad. Was always taught that people get the government they deserve.

The good news is, there are a lot of experienced, trained professionals on hand who can quickly gather all the appropriate facts and tell us exactly how this is bad news for the Democrats in the midterms.

Who does this? We see who.

Hegseth and Trump previously rejected the notion that Iran had the capacity to inflict such damage. Trump, 79, maintained on Friday that Iran has "been obliterated." He added on Saturday that Washington has "all the cards" in peace negotiations.

This is good news for people who hate America and/or science.

'Far worse': Trump admin accused of hiding extent of Iran damage to US bases #RawStory

Trump told reporters today he killed Iran diplomacy because travel is “too expensive.” He said this after flying to Mar-a-Lago and back in under 24 hours to attend a dinner. Each Mar-a-Lago trip costs taxpayers $3.4 million. His golf travel since January 2025 has topped $100 million.

Every publication should publish the names and outlets of the people who attend tonight because most of us will want to be sure we never make the mistake of listening to them again.

Chillingly explicit blood and soil nationalism here
