virginia voters should call their delegates and senators and demand that they ignore this illegitimate ruling

This is a MUST READ. Greg Sargent is always worth reading, but this analysis is spot on. I would also add, if we want a media that better serves our small 'd' democratic values, then we need to demand it from them. We do this not by cynically calling the names, but by educating ourselves and

For those keeping score--yet more evidence that Trump is unhinged from reality. Combine Nero, Caligula, & Commodus. Then mix in a little Mussolini + Saddam & Tsar Nicholas II and you've got Trump. This is the man to whom we handed control of the nuclear codes. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/23/u...

The whole shit show is rigged... #rigged

"How can we connect with working-class voters?" "Maybe we could just stand up against the industry that's making them poorer, sicker and less likely to find good employment?" "Meh."

DOJ seeks to vacate insurrectionists’ convictions, while going after a former CIA Director: If Trump can make convictions disappear for allies while prosecuting critics, the damage isn’t just theoretical.

Finally, Ukraine is remaking its military, would that the US would listen to it instead of pompously telling Ukraine what to do.

Who is responsible for the unfolding disaster in the Persian Gulf? You probably thought it was Trump didn't you? Turns out it's the Press! At least according to the American Conservative. www.theamericanconservative.com/media-covera...

Seems pretty accurate

Hey Chistian followers of Trump.Are you okay with this? If so, WTH happened to you?

Roberts swore Trump into Office. Trump's hand was not on the Bible when Trump was sworn in.

Hey Todd, are you referring to members of the Trump administration or to Trump himself?

In these difficult times it is a comfort to know that the Trump WH is laser focused on the issues of greatest concern to our nation www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I'm not theologian, but i know enough about the Bible to know that this borders on blasphemy (and that is being charitable)

Looks like Putin's decades long effort in cultivating Trump, AKA "Kraznov", is finally paying off. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

More people, need to know about his. Especially women.

At some point maybe Congress will be able to do oversight on this admin after we vote out these useless Republican committee chairmen’s majorities.

It's not as if we need any more evidence, but Trump is an absolute monster. Turns out though, so are a significant number of U.S. citizens. As Last argues, later has been very disheartening to learn, but worth knowing open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

I've noticed a change in editorial tone towards Trump at NYT. Better late than never, I guess. Perhaps they finally realized their high horse was not high enough to protect them from him. Or maybe they've notice that the wind has changed direction. Who knows? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/21/o...

That brief moment when Trump inexplicably had a terrifyingly accurate vision of our near future

This interview by Greg Sargent (who has is always good) of Congressman Adam Smith is well worth the read. Smith is refreshingly candid and does not mince words. Transcript: Trump War Takes Dark Turn as Leaks Unnerve Dems: “Madness” newrepublic.com/article/2080... via @newrepublic.com

While I welcome NYT recent change of tone when reporting on Trump, I wonder why it took so long. This hypocrisy on "religious freedom" is not limited to Trump, it is a phenomenon of the right and has been for decades, but this story implies it is a recent development. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/19/o...

I know this is a cliche, but read the whole thing. Besides, this is HCR we're talking about, so of course it's worth reading

It is pretty clear to me that what he really means is that he regrets that his statements have become an issue in his confirmation hearings, not that he actually regrets making them or that he has changed his opinions in any way that would affect his future behavior www.politico.com/live-updates...

European nations to Trump - "Oh, so now we're _Allies_ again?" www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

A more accurate headline would read: "Trump's inner circle now openly admit that they are morons" Some are now even questioning whether the guy that sent them the unsolicited email promising a "reward" is _really_ a Nigerian Prince! www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Imagine that everything he promised his base turning out to be a lie. Shocking. Just shocking.

This unspoken rule was well documented by Solzhenitzyn in his seminal work, Gulag Archipelago. This is where we are headed. And, for the umpteenth time I say, WTFU People!

Over 400 women have been arrested since they overturned Roe v Wade— yet not a SINGLE man has been arrested for raping children with Epstein.

Apparently it is the media's fault that Trump's Iran "excursion" has been such shit show Trump Team Spirals Over Damning Report on Bungled Iran War Planning newrepublic.com/post/207758/... via @newrepublic.com

150 US soldiers have been injured, 5,000 more heading into Iran today. Trump is a coward, criminal, five-time draft dodging piece of shit sending your kids to war.

Apparently our war of choice in Iran is all just a game to the sociopaths in the Trump White House

Although plausible, this sounds a bit dubious to me. This is Kash Patel's FBI we are talking about. The lack of detail is a bit suspect. Why CA? Also the mention of Mex Cartels and allegations of an Iranian presence in Mexico and S. America seems a little too convenient. abcnews.com/US/fbi-warns...

Check out the Senator that blocked the bill. Yep, that's right. Katie Britt. You know, the Republican Senator featured in NYT front page story who cried crocodile tears over the 5 year old in the bunny hat that was kidnapped by ICE and placed in Texas Detention center thehill.com/homenews/sen...

The Trump regime cannot explain the point of the war on Iran. My conclusion is that they are waging a multi-billion dollar war against the Epstein Files.

What does lobster tails, King crab and fruit basket stands have to do with war fighting? I would think the latter seems a bit strange for a guy who styles himself as hyper masculine.

THIS!!! Trump and MAGA Republicans would like you to put your faith in their "Strongman" theory of government, i.e. they want you to feel helpless and afraid and to believe you have no agency--that you are merely the consumer of what THEY and _only_ THEY can provide.
