This is only breaking news to members of his cult.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

strait of hormuz update

I maintain that among the media's biggest mistakes has been continuing to ask Trump questions as if he's a normal guy instead of asking things like "Can you explain who Jesus is" or "Describe the process of pumping gas"

transphobia is a luxury belief, which is why it’s so prevalent among beltway types who don’t have real problems

Y'all if your coworkers die and you're told to just keep working and look away...don't.

in a stunning victory, Donald Trump has forced the Iranian government to profit tens of billions of dollars a year against their will

The most predictable thing ever happened. Don't say trans people didn't warn y'all. Another proud leopards eating faces party member.

*deep, calming breath, over and over again, as nothing happens*

Shared this same post verbatim on YouTube and got what I think has to be my favorite comment of all time. I have to admit that I have been bested and I must concede that since the dawn of time millions, literally millions of people have been real at one point

I'm rewatching 24 and seriously think it's a foundational text of Qanon. Govt traitors at the highest levels and terrorists in secret bunker gunfights. Obviously it's too liberal but it posits a world where you could suddenly be in a gunfight with iranian sleeper cell cartel terrorists at any moment

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

I will not vote for Gavin Newsom because I do not view erasing trans people from public life as a “moderate” position. There’s plenty of time to find a real candidate. I suggest the Vote Blue No Matter Who coalition worry more about that and less about hectoring the people most likely to be harmed.

Congress dialogue tree: A. Sorry, we don't have a majority B. Sorry, we don't have a supermajority C. Sorry, we have to support the president D. [say nothing, avoid all media]

God I hate the whole "oh you don't want people to say zog you don't think there are Zionist in the government?" thing that this is responding to so fucking badly like no ZOG is a Nazi conspiracy in which a supposed cabal of Jewish people are spreading porn to cause Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I am begging people to learn that you can hate Israel without using Nazi shit.

*scientific evidence clearly indicates the earth is round* the new york times: there is a clear bias in science towards viewing the earth as one particular shape

Fun thing to think about very briefly: who currently has better lawyers, the United States or Nintendo

How it started / how it's going

“Death and destruction from the sky all day long.” I'm telling you, these people are genocidal fanatics. And no, this did not begin with Trump. They want to do to Iran what previous US administrations did to Vietnam, Laos, Korea, Iraq, Libya... the evil is 100% bipartisan.

Tax exiles stuck in London desperately trying to get *back* to Dubai to avoid becoming tax resident in the UK? Just great stuff. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Mike Johnson right now.

if america goes long enough without being directly involved in war in the middle east it starts getting the shakes

White House talking points for congressional Republicans say we're not at war, we're just in "major combat operations against Iran" lol

shockingly people are capable of simultaneously, 1. Hating their government 2. Hating the people who bomb and sanction their country, making regular life impossible and murdering members of their family, even more

"American innovation" now refers to making a kind of atrocity cronut by combining insider trading with war crimes.

The entire Democratic strategy debate — "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? — is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close! New: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/new-poll-d...

the consolidation of major media institutions by the president’s oligarch friends is obviously bad, but i do wonder about the ultimate impact. it is clear that trump and his allies believe that you can buy up media and pull an orban or a putin. but…

"he told me he was afraid he would lose his job if he didn't do this." The banality of evil right there. Someone engaged in the torture and experimentation on another human being doing so because they don't want to lose their job.

ICE killed a US citizen in Texas. The public was not told a federal agent fired the fatal shot until much later.

Call your house rep and tell them to support HB 2540 which will increase the amount disabled people can save from $2k to $10k and remove the marriage penalty where you lose your only source of income if you get married regardless of how little they make. Switchboard: (202) 224-3121

Sounds rough! I avoid this ever happening to me with One Weird Trick

man they are making us look like shit. we need to put peter thiel in a supermax or something

The UK arrested Prince Andrew. Hakeem Jeffries is telling Democrats not to boo Trump at the State of the Union.

It's not a new observation at this point but that wild Noem/Lewandowski story in WSJ really brings home the extent to which all the Trump 2 cabinet-level goblins see their jobs as flying private, doing short-form video, and screaming at underlings. They all hate each other and none of them can read.

No grand jurors found the Trump DOJ met low probable cause threshold in failed indictment of Democratic lawmakers www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...
