A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

Probably pure coincidence, but more US airline-related fatalities under (reality-TV star, zero aviation experience) Sean Duffy than his predecessors in previous 15+ years combined. Heckuva job, Duffy.

Heckuva a military partner the U.S. has here. Also, 18 U.S. Code § 2441.

Oh look at that: there are approximately 80,000 fewer manufacturing jobs today than there were when Trump took office last year.

The White House ballroom lawsuit just escalated. The preservation group suing Trump says DOJ made multiple “false statements” in court and delivered this brutal line: “All of this may be standard fare for a social media post. But in a federal court filing, it is neither appropriate nor permitted.”

Zelensky issued an official presidential decree authorizing Russia to hold its Victory Day parade in Moscow tomorrow. He included the exact coordinates of Red Square. That's it. A+ trolling.

Total shocker. Alito’s argument for why black people don’t need voting rights protections is based on fraudulent statistics.

😕🇺🇸 Yeah @marenmorris.bsky.social gets it

Life goals! (Shanghai Museum)

Alito flew multiple flags tied to Jan 6 insurrectionists. Thomas just gave a speech on how "progressivism" is destroying the country — plus his wife was involved in the Jan 6 plot. And Roberts has pushed "shadow docket" cases where justices make decisions without explaining themselves. Please.

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. it’s hard to recall another President so gung ho about a policy as economically destructive and politically unpopular ..” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

OBAMA: A good policy that I'd like to see followed is that the president shouldn't have a bunch of side hustles that companies and foreign entities can invest in COLBERT: How much of that is just jealousy that you didn't think of selling sneakers?

just to emphasize again, closing Malacca means 'taking a couple of extra days on a trip.' the economist had a great recent graph on various straits and their relative levels of direness.

We have truly gone back in time to the McCarthy era. This is such an obvious retaliation against Louise Lucas for her important leadership during Virginia’s redistricting fight. Punish your political enemies, smear dissent, weaponize government power.

This. And SCOTUS has blessed partisan gerrymandering, and there's no federal prohibition on mid-cycle redistricting. According to SCOTUS, every single state legislature could reconvene in January of every odd-numbered year, look at how their maps performed the previous November, and redistrict.

can not imagine how americans got that impression john

God, this is a dumb war.

“.. More than 4 in 10 of respondents in the 18-24 age range blamed the president, while one-third faulted corporate greed and large companies.” @thehill.com thehill.com/business/586...

Perfect room. I don't think that I would be able to move from it.

My god. What have we done.

"Bezos isn’t just a passive observer in these attacks on arts and culture. Under his leadership, the Post laid off wide swaths of its staff as subscribers fled, shuttering its books section and dealing a severe blow to media coverage of the arts."

Same energy:

When trump choses incompetent people to run the DOJ, FBI and the Pentagon, he's weakening us. But that's exactly what this is about. Ask yourself why an American President would want to weaken our government?

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

Warnock: "I know that there are those who are tired of the remedy. I'm tired of racism. I think it's a strange position to be more concerned about the medicine than you are about the malady."

Wowsers. Scientists found that between 2005-19, there was a 28% decline in spoken words. While all age groups were affected, participants aged 25 or younger showed a markedly steeper decline in speech. Seems significant and I've not seen this widely referred to www.sciencefocus.com/news/losing-...

It is up to us now. “... But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.”

Today’s SCOTUS ruling is a betrayal of our basic democratic values as a country—turning back the clock on hard-won civil rights victories. This isn’t just about Louisiana; this will have nationwide impacts on Congressional districting and voter representation for generations.

EXCLUSIVE: Liberal icon Barney Frank is entering hospice care. One of his final acts: Preparing a book repudiating his party's left flank. One of his regrets: "I won’t see the continued implosion of Donald Trump.” Read the full interview👇

The regime doesn't push blatant BS that shows contempt for listeners in public then tell the truth in private. They push blatant BS that shows contempt for listeners in classified briefings too.

This:is 💯 correct. The vast majority of Section 2 litigation (and settlements made under the threat of litigation) have been at the local level. Callais will gut minority representation in city councils, county supervisors, and school boards across the county.

These guys have never worked at a restaurant job in their whole life and it’s so obvious

Why on earth would this be "a big challenge" for him? The Trump administration tried to take Jimmy Kimmel down last year and it completely blew up in their faces. They're in a much weaker position now and only a complete clown would give them an inch.

Funny how that works, huh? www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/u...
