For decades, birthday party clowns folded balloons and played games. John Wayne Gacy is taking a different approach.

F-ing depraved. The IDF edited a photo of the journalist they assassinated and made it look like he was wearing a Hezbollah uniform. They explicitly state that it is legal in Israel to murder journalists. The entire Israeli state is a criminal enterprise.

Bloomberg: SpaceX’s deal for Echostar’s spectrum is on track to boost the heirs of Echostar’s billionaire CEO by $3 billion thanks to an estate tax loophole. Special trusts known as GRATs have increasingly allowed America’s richest billionaires to bypass the 40% levy. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

Breaking: ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota county investigates ICE arrest of Hmong American man as a potential case of kidnapping and false imprisonment.

Trump is running an interesting experiment in how many self-identified Christian Americans have actual religious commitments and how many are just into it because it provides a means for the socially defensible expression of bigotry bsky.app/profile/bria...

Pope Leo XIV responds to attacks from Trump: “I have no fear of the Trump administration ... I do believe in the message of the Gospel, as a peacemaker.”

You've got to love the beneficiaries of a completely corrupted evangelical church whinging about the Pope "getting political."

I do appreciate that Jesus Trump apparently healed his own hair.

THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.

At this point I think Trump is as curious as the rest of us to discover how far is actually TOO far for Republicans.

gotta get your beat sweeteners in before it happens

More evidence submissions for Section 4, 25th Amendment

He is mentally incapacitated and needs to be removed from office via one of the legal and peaceful means available to do so

If I was a Democrat in Congress tomorrow I’m releasing a statement to the press announcing that we are in a national emergency, because the chief executive has lost his grip on reality and cannot do the job, and until he leaves his office, removing him from power will be my sole, overriding focus.

NOT A CULT LEADER

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

if it were 10 years ago this would be a wall to wall story. but the media is afraid of him. and his friends in the white house.

Can never get over how tawdry the modern Right's view of Western Civilization is; nothing to build, nothing to aspire to, nothing even really to destroy or wage war against, just sullen resentment of their own children and seething hatred of the cities whose economics subsidies their regimes.

Orbán turns out to be more of a democrat than the U.S. president and a nontrivial number of GOP candidates.

From new Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar's acceptance speech tonight. This is the absolute BARE MINIMUM platform for any Democrat running for President in 2028.

this should be the opposition rallying cry in every country where fascists have been ascendant

But also, 38% are watching this and saying “yup, there’s a clear plan”??!!!

Article I says wut?

the idea that vance is anti-war and was a skeptic seems really to come exclusively from vance and is not borne out by anything else in his record as vice president so far

Humberto Aguirre

If a Democrat was in the WH and was, say, at the Kennedy Center or a baseball game, while this happened. All we would see is video of it with stories about how he is out to lunch, fiddling while the economy burns, and not really in charge of anything.

The press got madder at Biden for going to his church every Sunday than at Trump going to golf. I think they just enjoy 3 day weekends in Florida more than weekends in Delaware.

Thanks JD

I'll just leave this right here ...

Again there's simply no comparison between the scope, scale, & tone of the JOE BIDEN EPICALLY AND INCOMPETENTLY FAILED IN AFGHANISTAN coverage of August/September 2021 & the "just the facts, very measured" reporting of what's going on with Iran & Trump now.

Artemis II was overshadowed by other bad things in the news but what it accomplished was frankly amazing. We are capable of incredible and unprecedented things. I’m in awe at how far we safely sent humans into space.

Calvin Duncan, a man imprisoned for 30 years before he was exonerated, won an election in New Orleans promising to fix a judicial system that failed him Now, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and the GOP-controlled Legislature are racing to eliminate his job before he can be sworn in

TBF it's better if POTUS isn't involved in tricky negotiations. Is there like a UFC cruise we could send him on?

REMINDER: Saudi Arabia does not want the war in Iran to end before there is regime change. The Saudis are paying a top U.S. negotiator, Jared Kushner, tens of millions annually. The negotiations just ended without a deal, exactly what the Saudis wanted.

President Miller doesn't like judges weighing the facts of cases instead of following his racist lead. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/u...

One issues in the K-shaped economy is that wealthy folks who can afford $50,000+ cars drive up the cost of insurance for everybody else, because of the risk you run into one of them.

Legal eagles noticed, and there’s been SOME mainstream coverage. But overall the political class has underreacted to this month’s OLC opinion, ordered up by Trump or on his behalf, declaring the Presidential Records Act unconstitutional. Things are likely being stolen and/or destroyed *right now*.

I love Jamie Raskin

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today. One for the history books www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

If leaders abuse the rule of law to make themselves immune to it, so that they can undermine the rights of others with impunity, by what moral or philosophical argument are they entitled to its protections, once they lose power? By what grace should they be sorted by law instead of by other means?

Aide: sir you were supposed to choose ONE of the talking points

One more thing that makes getting to a DHS deal harder. WH doesn’t want any real restrictions that would slow the mass deportation project.
