Just wanted to let you know that the IRS has audited every president annually for decades now to ensure there was no corruption and the reason you didn't know that was because only one president found that to be a problem

Just so folks understand Raul Castro is only being charged so that the US has a pretext to depose him. This is straight out of the Venezuela playbook.

Every trans person in this country should apply. Get your 💰!

yes. correct.

Someone tell Webster I want to propose a new word errogance (n) : the state of being very confident and very wrong

We have friends everywhere.

Not enough people are talking about this.     The Trump Administration is moving to cut benefits for up to 400,000 disabled Americans — people with Down syndrome, severe autism, dementia — for no other reason than that they live at home with their families instead of in an institution.

I realize this is obvious to most but allow me to rant: At the core of Trump's base love for him is a simmering resentment over their mediocrity and gratitude for him making it permissible to be arrogant whilst mediocre. Everything in this cult can be traced back to that. (thread)

A real banger from @jamellebouie.net www.nytimes.com/2026/04/29/o...

I’m seeing nonsense & have thread time. Yes, if Democrats flip the House of Representatives, Hakeem Jeffries will be the Speaker of the House. Yes, it’s a given. No, it’s not in doubt. Yes, you do sound very ignorant when you suggest otherwise. Yes, at this point you do usually sound racist.

I got myself a weighted blanket. I was missing the weight of the comforter I use in the fall/winter, but didn't want anything that would make me too hot. It's amazing how relaxing it is.

Feeling pretty proud of myself today. I got the bulk of my laundry done and just finished grocery shopping and fillingup my gas tank. Anything else I may want to do this weekend is stuff at home. I can relax for a bit before I think about cooking dinner.

I don't think we talk enough about the fact many conservatives turning on Trump are embracing antisemitism. They are blaming the government of Israel and shadowy "advisers" for the war in Iran. Sure, Israel had a role, but if you really listen to what they're saying it's obvious.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV told the world’s press today that the Catholic Church’s moral imagination has long been too narrowed to sexual ethics — and that war, migration, and human dignity are the “much greater, more important issues” of our time.

Ben Franklin, on why you should get your kids vaccinated: “In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation.

Support for impeaching Trump is at 55%, according to a new Strength In Numbers/ @Verasight.io poll, with 37% of adults opposed. Crucially 1 in 5 of Trump’s own voters support impeachment. Read and share: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-22...

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption. It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

You want to see how you can criticize Israel while still being on their side? Textbook example below from @padilla.senate.gov and @schiff.senate.gov:

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

One of my co-workers recently adopted a puppy and girlfriend brought the puppy to the office for a quick visit. Best thing to happen at the office in a while. A much needed and appreciated dose of serotonin.

I think the honest answer to this is that people were used to prices rising in 1983 because the "natural" rate of inflation was higher for longer. Whereas when prices jumped in 2020, they did so after 30 years of moderate price increases. This works empirically and is reinforced by the polling

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

A note for the US midterms: I will point out today that many Hungarians who will have voted for Magyar's party were not in love with him, know his many flaws, and are not all 100% satisfied. But in the face of Orban's party, the voters were enthusiastic for the better, if not perfect, choice.

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10 (IG: astro_christina)

How kind and aware he is. Instead of easy silence as they suffered… He is one human who I’d like to know. No silent complicity for him.

One of the most brazenly corrupt events in history will take place tomorrow when Jared Kushner represents the U.S. in critical negotiations with Iran to end the war while he accepts millions in fees (and billions in investments) from the Saudi gov’t which has been lobbying Trump to continue the war

This is exactly right. The reason we're here is because so many white people cannot fathom another non-white person, or god forbid, a woman, as president.

Kerry: I was part of the any number of conversations with Netanyahu. Psaki: Pitching the US strike Iran? Kerry: Yes, he wanted us to strike. He came to President Obama. He made a presentation to ask to strike. President Obama refused. President Biden refused. President Bush refused.

JUST NOW: House Democrats were set to try to pass a resolution to halt Trump's war with Iran — but the Republican presiding over the session, Chris Smith of New Jersey, gaveled out without calling on Rep. Glenn Ivey, who going to introduce the resolution. Democrats shouted in protest.

Oh look Democrats are on the steps of the Capitol, demanding Congress be called back and end this war, and oust this President. Do Something asshats will have to move those goalposts yet again.

To all who celebrate

In the latest GOP effort to restrict ballot access in New Hampshire, Gov. Kelly Ayotte (R) signed a bill eliminating student IDs as an acceptable form of voter ID into law. The change, which will take effect in June if not blocked by a court, could affect thousands of student voters in the state.

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Since my mom gave me some of the leftover ham from Easter, I'm making split pea soup for dinner. The only downside is it takes a while to cook. But it will feed me well for days! At least most of the cooking time is passive. But I will need to stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Thank God, he TACO'd.

It is legit nuts that the good scenario here is just destroying Iran's infrastructure. Which is still awful. But if that's what happens, I will be relieved. But this is untenable. He has to go.

Maybe this is crazy assumption on my part, but I don't think our reps and senators actually have to go back to Washington to impeach him. They can meet remotely, right? I would like to believe that ability exists for emergency situations. You know, like this one.

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

This is exactly right.

Happy Easter for Donald Trump. He is a disgrace this country will never live down.

Given the fact Trump is permanently trapped in the 80s, I'm kind of shocked his go to reference here isn't 80s icon Sonny Crockett from Miami Vice.

On Trans Day of Visibility, please revisit this amazing profile of Rachel Harlow by @tomandlorenzo.bsky.social - a reminder that you can be trans, be bold, be loved, grow old, and still be the best dressed lady at the Acme. www.inquirer.com/life/a/harlo...

Daughter, 15, is home from school today with a stomach bug. Mid-day attempt to rise from bed, shower, dress, and cover some homework for class tomorrow. And then the following:

Social movement scholar here again. So, why protest? Nihilists were out yesterday arguing that "protests don't do anything." A short 🧵:

Took 40-odd years but Bruce has finally allowed "Born in the USA" to be used in a commercial. By the ACLU. Supporting birthright citizenship. Yeah.
