From the people currently pretending to be concerned about TSA funding.

French prosecutors said Saturday that they had alerted US authorities of the existence of evidence that tech bro Elon Musk had encouraged the controversy over sexualised deepfakes on X as part of an effort to to inflate the value of his company by turning it into a pornography platform.

News broke today that Russia proposed faking an assassination attempt on Viktor Orban to override all logic and ensure an emotional victory for him there. Makes sense. This tactic already worked in the USA.

It is completely tasteless and unacceptable for the sitting President of the United States to celebrate anybody’s death — let alone someone who served this country. Donald Trump continues to show us time and time again that there are no limits to how low he is willing to go.

Dude is Nostradamus when it comes to predicting his own administration’s failures.

In a plea deal in 2024, Smirnov admitted that he had not only completely fabricated the Biden-Burisma connection but that it was conjured with the assistance of at least four Russian officials. trib.al/UX93pzi

John Fetterman has fallen to -40 - one of the most hated elected officials in the world.

Caught on a hot mic, Republicans say they want LOW VOTER TURNOUT — they want to disenfranchise YOUR right to vote #NoPayToVoteSaveAct

Fetterman lied.

2 points on Trump's media capture: 1. Fascists don’t need to turn all news outlets to their side. They win if major outlets are simply too weak to tell the truth about them. 2. Fascists don’t need to make you believe them. They win if they pollute the news so much that you don’t believe anything.

We are spending an estimated $1B per day on the war on Iran. Now Trump and Co want an extra $200B from Congress to fund the war. But healthcare? Cut. Food stamps? Cut. Education? Cut. Cancer research? Cut. Environmental protections? Cut. And of course, taxes on the rich? Cut. It's obscene.

Gaza: 96% of children say they feel death is imminent. After more than two years of war and relentless violence, young Palestinians face a deepening mental health emergency. Girls are at particular risk, including a rise in child marriage news.un.org/en/story/202...

Every single thing named after Cesar Chavez should be renamed for Dolores Huerta

I read the NYT piece, and I am holding onto the words of a woman who fended off inappropriate advances from a 60-year-old Cesar Chavez at the age of 19. “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Esmeralda Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.”

Once again, if the billionaire tech bros were actually *trying* to get us all to drag them out of their mansions to beat them to death with hammers, I'm not sure what they'd be doing differently.

“This is one of the most grotesque crimes of our time.”

Imagine if the NRA created a PAC called Americans for Hope and Change and ran ads attacking Dems from the left for not supporting Medicare for All. Then, when the Dem lost, said it was a clear victory for the 2nd Amendment. That's basically the AIPAC story this cycle

watch Markwayne Mullin's facial expression as Rand Paul confronts him for "never having the courage to look me in the eye and tell me that the assault was justified. Today you'll have your chance. Tell it to my face."

CNBC on new bad inflation data: "It's almost the worst of all worlds. I guess stagflation would come close to describing the situation."

“Apparently I’m an idiot.” Woman at Pennsylvania gas station who voted for Trump rips into him, calls him “a worthless pile of sh*t”.

BREAKING: The House Oversight Committee just formally subpoenaed Pam Bondi to answer questions about the Epstein investigation behind closed doors on April 14. tinyurl.com/ympvmxh2

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

🇬🇷 Greece: REJECTED 🇵🇱 Poland: REJECTED 🇮🇳 India: REJECTED 🇨🇳 China: REJECTED (Breaking news) 🇹🇷 Turkey: ALLOWED PASSAGE — Turkey negotiated directly with Iran and got a Turkish-owned ship cleared for safe passage through the strait. (They are not joining the war effort; pursuing diplomacy instead)

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "It's just wrong to make Americans think that every single Palestinian in Gaza was a member of Hamas. That's just not true. There were tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians murdered by these bombs that were dropped on them. Now the same thing is happening in Lebanon."

This is profound ignorance masquerading as insight

And, We Have Motive.

NYT suggests that Sen Markwayne Mullin (R-OK), Trump's new pick to head DHS, grew fantastically rich with stock trades placed on insider information, and they produce the receipts.

The Guardian is reporting Trump mostly relied on 2 corrupt real estate guys, Kushner & Witcoff, on whether to attack Iran. Neither have military, diplomatic, Iranian, or nuclear power knowledge. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

These companies should be metaphorically burned to the ground and the earth salted.

The dumbest fuck on the planet is President of the United States.

At least 12 Palestinians, including two boys, a pregnant woman and eight police officers, were killed Sunday by Israeli airstrikes in the war-torn Gaza Strip, hospital authorities said. https://to.pbs.org/3P74Uxy

We have to be clear on this. He’s playing fast and loose - and without care - with American lives.

Two weeks into the war that he started for reasons he can’t explain, the president of the United States is threatening to charge news outlets with treason for purportedly colluding with the enemy by producing coverage he dislikes. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I met with AI data labelers in Kenya who are organizing their colleagues to fight the brutal working conditions and horrible pay given to the workers at the "bottom of the AI supply chain." They believe the NDAs they've signed are unenforceable so are speaking out: www.404media.co/ai-is-africa...

First Amendment violation, Brendan. I wonder if a class-action lawsuit (with 320 million of us being the injured class) might change your mind. Do this and ALL of us will see you in court.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Donald Trump letting you know how the authoritarian capture of the media is going, in case you missed it. Unlike other authoritarians in places like Hungary and Poland he has no worries about advertising his authoritarian take over of the media.

His ability to run roughshod over every American tradition is really something

The guru behind Trump's Iran war is blissing out

FCC Chair Brendan Carr threatens broadcast licenses over Iran War coverage

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…
