Actual conversation with my young adult son this morning. Me: What’s your take on Trump’s threat to annihilate Iran tonight? Do you think he’s serious? Son: When did he say that? I haven’t seen anything about it.

JD Vance flew to Budapest today to prop up Viktor Orbán…four days before Hungary's election. Iran is on the clock. The world is watching. And the VP is doing campaign work for a foreign strongman. Read that again.

Every time I think he can’t get more unlikable, he does it

The Department of Homeland Security is not a church. Using an official government account to broadcast Christian scripture is a blatant violation of the Establishment Clause and a clear wink to Christian nationalism. #holdfast

Have a great Easter, everyone.

If you're ever feeling like you haven’t lived up to your potential, just remember that Stewart Rhodes went to Yale Law School yet was dumb enough to become a Proud Boy, shoot out his own eye, and spend 2 years in prison for committing a crime for Donald Trump. It's all about how you define success.

AI scams are getting better every day. Their good advice on how to protect yourself: be skeptical, don’t click on anything (especially party invites right now) and don’t send anyone money. Great conversation on how it all works.

Of course they are. They desperately want something to cover breathlessly in the 24-hour news cycle so they don’t have to talk about anything else. They don’t give a shit that Americans are dying for a Trumped-up war

I know we suddenly have weightier matters at hand due to hubris of our POTUS & ineptitude of our oily Sec Def but having worked w/both Bruce Springsteen & Donald Trump over the course of my TV/Music backstage career, I can tell you they don’t even seem to be of the same species.

Bondi was days away from being deposed about Epstein. Was it her idea for him to go to the Supreme Court yesterday? His disastrous speech about the war sent oil prices surging. He desperately needed to do something to show he still has power. Plus she’s a woman and he loves firing people.

Moulton: "She was about to be deposed in the Epstein case. That's why Trump got rid of her."

is that bad?

When you've lost Newsmax...

5% of all beef consumed in the US comes from this plant. The meatpacking industry is notoriously awful. Proud of these workers for organizing.

Seems appropriate to do this on April Fool’s Day.

We should all be way more freaked out about Lindsey Graham hanging out at Disney. Is this what happens when you shut down Epstein Island?

ICYMI local cops are being paid bounties by ICE for arresting undocumented people and EXTRA money if they’re children.

In case you got distracted by the senseless war in the Middle East, remember we still have a horrible gun violence problem at home

Posters going up. 🪧 Signs being printed. 🖨️ Plans being made. 📅 March 28 is this Saturday and the country is WAKING UP. 3,000+ events on the map. Are you on it? #WeSayNoKings

UNFUN FACT: Even if the Treasury Department printed Donald Trump's name on every bill for the next three years it wouldn't be as many times as it appears in the Epstein files.

I think I have Vetigo. Weirdly it feels like a cannabis high- but out of nowhere. 😶‍🌫️ I don’t hate it, but I don’t really like it either. I have shit to do.

Woke up with this song in my head. Good theme for the protest this Saturday. “Brothers, Sisters, we don’t need that fascist groove thang” LCD has a great cover but I’ll go with the original today.

NEW: Democrat Emily Gregory wins a special election for Florida State House District 87, home to Mar-a-Lago, and a district that Trump won by 11 points in 2024, AND beating a Trump endorsed candidate. See you in November! 🩵💙

This is why California Dems are freaking the F out. Chad Bianco is polling number 2 in the latest poll for the governor’s race. Not only has he seized more than 650,000 ballots from last November’s election, he’s an election denier and had ties to the Oath Keepers, which he acknowledged years ago.

Comparing the Democrats to a country he’s bombing. This is authoritarian demagoguery. If a Republican doesn’t denounce this, s/he is enabling it.

Robert Mueller was a patriot who served this country for his entire life. He fought and bled for the United States while many of the cucks who are attacking him did everything they could to avoid service. Nothing any of these subhuman shitstains say will diminish his legacy.

This is the only thing you need to know. Democrats want to open TSA. Republicans are refusing because they want to attach ICE funding. That’s why there are long lines. ICE.

The president who fired hundreds of thousands of federal workers is nonetheless spending far more every day than his predecessors. www.pbump.net/o/trump-like...

Love living in this world of chaos where I see a story in the @theguardian.com that Trump is thinking of winding down the war in Iran and 5 minutes later I see a @reuters.com story that the US is ramping up military presence in the Middle East. Did he forget to tell Whiskyleaks Pete his plan?

The historical parallel is Benedict Arnold’s popularity before and after he was outed as a foreign spy.

Elon Musk defrauded Twitter investors when he lied about the company in 2022 in an effort to buy it for a lower price than his original $44 billion bid, a jury concluded

This is really horrifying and demands an immediate investigation by DOJ….oh….and by the Senate Homeland Security Committee….oh…..

Do facts matter? Asking for a flailing democracy. Despite proof that immigration does NOT cause crime to go up, “57% of U.S. adults (including 85% of Republicans) believe that migrants bring crime to the U.S.” Our whole system relies on demonizing the “other.”

reports vary

A reminder that Democrats agreed to fund TSA, FEMA, CISA and the Coast Guard, but republicans blocked that funding.

SCOOP: One of the nation's top "justice facility" architecture firms will no longer work on ICE detention centers or deportation facilities after its employees staged a revolt.

Fortunately some of us are….

Jared Kushner has FOUR days left to file his public financial disclosure revealing any conflicting assets, now that he's been appointed as Special Envoy for Peace.

1. Jared Kushner said that, to prevent conflicts and corruption, he would not raise any funds for his private equity fund during Trump's second term. HE LIED.

Ukraine is holding back Russia and thus fulfilling the entire traditional mission of NATO without any soldiers or sailors from other countries. Trump is meanwhile demanding NATO allies leave the continent they are supposed to be defending to join him in a doomed adventure he chose in the Middle East

A brief break from ranting about the authoritarians to rant about authoritarians in the restaurant biz. This article is the tip of the iceberg, not just about Noma. The entire system is broken, especially in the highest levels of fine dining. Of course it’s not all chefs but the system allows MANY

I wonder how the prep is going at the Noma pop up this morning. $1500 per person dinners start tonight

Another forever war in the Middle East. Kristi Noem’s Mount Rushmore sized corruption. An abysmal jobs report. Special guest @wkamaubell.bsky.social and I discuss the week that was (and more!) on a new Coffee Klatch. Join us. https://youtu.be/pWzKLEiITN8

CNN's Dana Bash reports on a convo she just had with Trump: "He said there are now five things in this SAVE America Act that he wants the House and Senate to pass. He said, 'No mail in ballots, no men in women's sports, and no transgender operations for youth.' He added those two."

were we wearing a suit when we asked? did we say please and thank you? it’s important to be grateful.

We can just save everyone some time and rename it the Department of War Crimes now

Kelly: "You could pick a random group of people off the street tonight here in DC and they could probably do a better job than our government is doing right now. They don't have a goal, there's no strategic plan. And what this is likely to lead to is, again, a long war with a lot of dead Americans."

Maybe it’s a bad idea to put people in charge of government who are eager for the rapture.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop this.
