Kelly vs. Trump: Guess who won?

GEN. PETRAEUS: What I mean by Arsenal of Democracy is that Ukraine will be most important military-industrial complex in free world. It is producing most impressive, cutting-edge, extraordinary unmanned systems, that integrate software with hardware, with constant innovation.

It’s funny how the Trump’s hold press conferences to spout lies about their relationships with Epstein. They threaten lawsuits but never follow through because they would be exposed to discovery and depositions under oath. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news/ABv0ifW3qSse...

Everyone is forgetting these marine workers trapped around the strait.

New cycle detected

😬

Melania, totally not on ecstasy, with Jeffrey and Ghislaine, who she totally does not know.

We've gone from "walk softly and carry a big stick" to "screm your war crimes and behave erratically." The leaders that actually made America great realized that US power depends on our international reputation. Under Hegseth and Trump, the rest of the world has less and less reason to respect us.

Yep. There are immense costs to having a president make deranged genocidal threats even if he doesn't act on them. Including (as I try to argue in this piece) a deeply dispiriting toll on ordinary Americans' impressions about their own nation.

“We can’t last 34 more months of what we’ve had happen over the last 14. He’s only going to get worse. He started a war that could tank the global economy without any end in sight and without any plan. We can’t survive this”

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."

Somebody was talking about how all the single use plastics that we absolutely need for hospitals and medical settings are going to suffer from this petroleum crisis at some point, yet all i see in most publications is concern about gas prices.

“Danielle Smith's government is exempting celebrity investor Kevin O'Leary's massive Wonder Valley data centre near Grand Prairie, AB, from a provincial environmental assessment” Because of course they did. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.nationalobserver.com/2026/04/03/n...

Sharing International reporting from 7News Australia. They’re calling what US right-leaning news networks are skipping over…the truth. 🚩 A U.S. F-15E was shot down over Iran, and it clearly contradicts Trump’s claims of complete US air dominance in the region.

Trump is going to bankrupt the country. Trump wants to add nearly $7 trillion to the $39 trillion national debt with his new military budget. finance.yahoo.com/economy/poli...

Stephen Colbert: "In tribute to Pam Bondi, I offer this heartfelt farewell."

all that Oracle money behind Skydance's acquisition of Paramount/CBS too. sad.

With Pam Bondi’s ouster, Todd Blanche is now the interim AG. Here’s our story on him from December: Todd Blanche Shut Down Crypto Enforcement While Holding Crypto Assets

You can’t vote out Trump in the midterms, but you can vote out the people who enable him.

The shopping list included luxury items like $6.9 million for lobster tail, $15.1 million in ribeye steak, and $2 million for Alaskan king crab, as well as musical instruments ($21,750 for a custom handmade Japanese flute), ice cream machines ($124,000), and sushi prep tables ($26,000).

And we wonder what is wrong with US. Here it is. STUPIDITY and those who vote for it.

After the White House complained about an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt, it was removed from AFP and Getty’s systems. This is the photo in question. Please do not repost it. 👇

🚨 President Zelenskyy and analysts say Russia may have provided Iran with the exact coordinates of the E-3 Sentry at Prince Sultan Air Base. www.aa.com.tr/en/world/rus...

Iran destroyed a US Air Force E-3 Sentry in an airstrike on a Saudi Arabian base. There are only about 15 of these aircraft, valued at approximately $500 mill each, and losing one is a serious hit to the U.S. ability to detect and track threats at long range. And there’s a Russia connection… 1/2

By now it’s become unmistakable that Hegseth’s tenure has been marked by open and unrestrained sadism and bloodlust. trib.al/wJxE0Ue

This might be the saddest reality of it all! 😢

America's new "Golden Age"...

#ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #DV1 #ONEV1 I get Democrats’ search for “safe bet”, yet those who “don’t look like you” may well share your values. Let’s focus on the candidates’ characters & policies rather than on intrinsic traits. A 🧵 from Senator Andy Kim

We just saw the third massive No Kings protest! So where are the pro-Trump rallies?! No where bc Trump has the lowest approval rating of any modern era President. In fact he's despised. But corporate continues to cover him like his popular. My article deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/no-kings-s...

In the latest installment of "you can die for this country but your relatives aren't welcome here." #SHAME

Hold onto your hats! Nobel prize winning economist @pkrugman.bsky.social predicts the worst case scenario for the Iran war could be well over $200 a barrel. That would be a global crisis. open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Scoop: AFP snapped an unflattering photo of Karoline Leavitt that incensed the White House—resulting in complaints to news agency and its ultimate removal from the wire service. We found the photo in question and have the behind-the-scenes story in @status.news: www.status.news/p/karoline-l...

We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs. Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.

He single-handedly raised the price of gas by over a DOLLAR PER GALLON for no reason.

And Americans Re Elected this idiot

Hegseth imagines himself defending "Western civilization." But the West has also made important contributions to the idea that there are moral limits on what we can do in war, from Cicero through Augustine, Grotius, Kant and more. He discards this inheritance. 6/ newrepublic.com/article/2083...

Sen Mark Kelly, a retired Navy pilot, sharply criticizes Hegseth here: “It’s not the way somebody who claims to be a person of God—a religious person—should think,” Kelly tells me, adding that war is an "ethically complicated thing" for the "serious warfighter.” 5/ newrepublic.com/article/2083...

Religious appeals are commonplace in the context of wartime, but Hegseth is doing something different entirely. He's expressing open contempt for limits on the military while also claiming God's sanction for *maximum violence and killing.* 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2083...

Hegseth appears to be a devotee of Christian Reconstructionism. As one religious scholar notes, this posits that "all authority belongs to God," which renders the state’s authority wholly subordinate to a "higher category of Biblical law." This explains a lot. 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2083...

In his prayer, Hegseth asked for divine assistance in unleashing "overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy." By now it's become unmistakable that Hegseth is practically oozing with bloodlust. There are many examples of this. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2083...
