It would take only a handful of Republicans to step onto the right side of history and stop this madness. They would be remembered well. It's right there for the taking.

This @dandrezner.bsky.social analysis is correct and it is difficult to imagine any action Trump can take in the next week that would change it, except some actions would have an immediate, immense human toll, military and civilian. Other actions (a “deal”?) will still impoverish and harm millions.

Fifty years ago today, the shame of my hometown

Christ preached forgiveness, mercy, and peace. A guy who beats his girlfriends and has four gin-and-tonics before breakfast says we should kill for Jesus in Iran. For busy church-goers, it’s hard to know who to believe.

And I’m going to sound like a bit of a broken record on this as well, but the refusal of Republicans in Congress to act to stop this usurpation of our constitutional order makes them just as responsible for this as Trump.

something to keep in mind when there is a response on u.s. soil and it's suddenly verboten to even imply that it's a response

It is the year 2026 AD. Super hackers have gained illicit backdoor access to the AI Claude through the Chipotle support chat.

Having an administration that’s very overtly in favor of performative war crimes is bad. But let’s not pretend this isn’t simply a reflection of American culture. Plenty of Americans reject the concept of war crimes and are enthusiastic about doing ANYTHING to enemies.

/2 Elements of civilization and modernity like ”there should be rules of war” or “there should be legal and moral limits on what you do to perceived enemies” have always been a tough sell with limited buy-in.

In Easter message, President Trump calls for openness and recognizes power of redemption to save us from Hell Today in the @nytimes.com

my entire timeline on x is now just iranian embassies demonstrating a facility with the english language that puts everything i've ever read from the trump administration to shame

One of these political leaders has been repeatedly portrayed as an untrustworthy radical hostile to others because of his religious beliefs. You’’ll never guess which one!

Jamal's right: The story here isn't Trump; this is entirely consistent with what everyone's known about him for many years. The story is the complete degradation of a major political party. That said, committing war crimes & violating the Establishment Clause all in a single tweet is impressive.

BREAKING: Mike Johnson didn’t see the tweet.

“Instructor is a drama queen. He stopped in the middle of a lecture to announce, ‘ONE OF YOU WILL BETRAY ME,’ right after I had told him that I was switching advisors.”

The American bombing of Iranian girls’ middle schools has been messy. But it‘s also created an opportunity for genuine educational reform. —Today in @washingtonpost.com

Live children grow up to be soldiers, and provide aid and comfort to parents who are soldiers. That’s why elementary schools are legitimate military targets. Today by Pete Hegseth in the @nytimes.com

One thing I love is the percentage of “journalism” devoted to pretending this kind of gutter racism is some benign, rational other thing that only the white people midwestern diners and staffers at right wing think tanks can truly understand bsky.app/profile/pale...

The US AID destruction is one of the sickest things anyone has ever done in human history. No one got anything out of it besides the gleeful thrill of mass black death. It’s truly bone chilling to even contemplate what this really was.

This is very very big. Like a big deal and massive cuts. These can’t even be seen as budgetary since you don’t get much savings in the context of trillions budget. They want the US out of R&D out of science research.

Folks look at you like you’re crazy when you say we’re in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it’s Saturday:

Nope, not how this works www.wsj.com/world/middle...

never forget when the Easter Bunny sent Teddy Roosevelt to the shadow realm

"My patient is refusing a drug studied in 170,000 people because of side effects that a 124,000-person analysis just confirmed do not exist — while injecting a compound studied in 14 humans, from unregulated sources, based on the recommendation of someone who profits from selling it."

the war he started is melting his brain even more so than its prior very melted version

All the news that's fit to print

It’s pretty interesting to compare Easter messages from political leaders and then consider which ones the media treats as being out of the mainstream or dangerous

You can really tell America is winning this war when the president panic posts “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards” at 5 am on Easter Sunday along with an extension on their deadline

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

Remember the one time Biden's celebratory F bomb on Obama's hot mic was a big story.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Unmatched tactical and operational brilliance hopelessly undermined by the worst strategic leadership ever to disgrace this country.

"Even an elaborate cheating scheme won’t be enough to deliver Orbán victory if the polls are correct." This is a big deal, and it should give opponents of American authoritarianism hope.

Trump's mother was an immigrant who spoke English as a second language, from a place that had for centuries been regarded as an uncivilized backwater.

Frost: Bondi’s employment status doesn't matter. She could go on to be an attorney. She could be unemployed. She could go work at a restaurant. It doesn't matter. She has to be in front of the Oversight Committee on April 14th for that deposition.

Saw a clip of Rob Schneider doing stand up at CPAC and I didn’t think I’d ever say this but it was bad even for what I imagined a Rob Schneider stand up set would be

Judas Iscariot was paid 30 pieces of silver for turning Jesus Christ in to the Roman authorities. But he made nearly 10 times that amount by placing a Polymarket bet accurately predicting the day of Christ’s death.

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

the stories they're gonna tell about how far gone trump was mentally, going back to 2024, are gonna be wild. "everyone knew" they'll say.
