This photo should be on the front page of every single newspaper in America today.

It’s a neat trick that Trump and his henchmen are pulling with their mafia DOJ. File a bogus frivolous lawsuit that you can never possibly win in a court of law, then have Todd Blanche settle it by paying them millions and potentially billions in taxpayer money. Theft by lawsuit.

Trump told you he’d run America like a business. He is. It’s called asset stripping. You sell the profitable pieces, gut the workforce, load it with debt, and walk away rich while everyone else holds the bag. Congratulations. You didn’t elect a president. You hired a liquidator.

The Pentagon has launched a cover-up of the casualty count in the Iran War, The Intercept reports. 15 casualties are now not included and at least one reported death Major Sorffly Davius is missing from the official tally. The system tracking casualties may be omitting hundreds of injuries.

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

🚨 Just announced: Christian nationalist Mike Johnson to speak at Trump’s Freedom 250 Rededicate event on May 17: “rededicating our country as One Nation under God.” Corporate sponsors include Deloitte, Mastercard, and United Airlines.

PUTIN OWNS TRUMP. AMERICA FIRST? WHAT A SHAM.

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United. No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed. Here's how it works. https://youtu.be/p1fPbGHe3xE?si=QZRQImV8KYD5Y90r

Please vote blue, my life depends on it

Go back into your hole, you vile creature.

The rationed slop being served to troops by the U.S. navy … compared to what the French and Swedish navies serve their troops.

So many crimes to keep track of. This is what the devil meant by "shock and awe."

Cis men, preying on vulnerable trans women. No surprise there.

Can confirm

WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public' IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

Despicable fucking government.

The Russian Republicans have done nothing to help the American people and they continue to do everything to help the greedy corporations and their shareholders. l.smartnews.com/p-7xdyZn56/a...

Save lives, vote blue

Today's newsletter is about why mainstream media has been trying to help JD Vance frame himself as "skeptical" of or "opposed to" the war in Iran. Hint: 2028 www.readtpa.com/p/the-foremo...

DC panel has (again) BLOCKED Judge Boasberg from investigating possible criminal contempt by DOJ and DHS officials, including Judge Bove, in connection with sending Venezuelans to CECOT against his order. (I can't access full ruling yet.) Panel: Judges Rao (Trump) Walker (Trump) & Childs (Obama)

The Federal Reserve shows that without Trump's tariffs, inflation would be back down to pre-pandemic levels. And this doesn't even include the more recent price spike due to the illegal Iran war. Biden's policies were working. Anyone who thinks Republicans are better for the economy is flat wrong.

"Trump still seems to believe that negotiations he has as president are basically the same as strong-arming a small business into giving him a better deal on some new curtains for one of his hotels. Preparation, understanding, and patience are for the weak." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

Read the whole thread for just another example of how deep into the authoritarian abyss we already are 👇

If you call yourself a "real Christian," you had better be loudly denouncing what "American Christianity" has become or you're headed straight to hell with the worst of the worst.

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Unless California wants to be governed by a shitbag Republican, the remaining Democratic candidates need to come together, determine who has the strongest chance, and unify behind that person, with the others stepping aside.

Vote blue, you'll be a hero saving many lives

So Trump and his Pentagon MAGA sycophants threatened Pope Leo's ambassador, saying: "America has the power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.” Pope Leo just doubled down on his message. Please repost if you stand with him as we do! 🔥👏🏻

Vote 🔵 blue 🔵 like your life depends on it

Congress officially demands a cognitive test for Donald. If we make it pay per view we can erase all US debt.

Vote blue whenever the opportunity may arise.

And putting his arm around her. Unwanted touching. He must be fired.

Donald Trump was told by his Justice Department he no longer has to “comply” with the Presidential Records Act, a 1978 law passed in the wake of Watergate to ensure presidential records are preserved.

Many MAGAs have tried to argue to me that Donald Trump can't be antisemitic because he warmly invited Jared Kushner into his family. Oops. Turns out the lifelong Jew-hater Trump went to a federal prosecutor to try to end Ivanka's relationship with Jared.

[To the tune of There Was An Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly] Trump posted a real video of a man killing a woman with a hammer To Distract From Melania’s press conference explaining her relationship with Epstein To distract from Trump’s loss of the Iran war To distract from The Epstein Files.

This is why that TACO shit isn’t funny in the least. His brain is shrinking, he’s cornered, and today is the sanest he’ll be for the rest of his life.

IT HAS BEEN 110 DAYS SINCE TRUMP’S DOJ WAS SUPPOSED TO RELEASE THE FULL EPSTEIN FILES. THEY STILL HAVE NOT. TIME TO HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE, CONGRESS!

Trump threatened the Vatican with military force. I've said that out loud to myself five or six times now, and I still can't quite process it.

This!!! All Republicans, not just "MAGA" or "Trump" are enemies of this Nation!

Obviously good Christian Trump feels that he outranks the Pope in all matters

Hegseth and his understudy Colby have declared war on Pope Leo XIV... evidently it's part of their plan to make the Pentagon into a Christian Nationalist zone in which the 99.5% of Americans who profess actual religious faiths rather than adherence to the Volkskirche are made to feel unwelcome.

After Trump backed down, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council issued a statement claiming that "Iran has achieved a great victory and forced the criminal United States to accept its 10-point plan."
