Best Twitter riposte of the day. And Washington met his payroll for the Continental Army with money furnished by the Spanish Crown, too.

Gavin Newsom resists discussing his showdown with Trump over L.A. in political terms, but “he did describe the episode to me as perhaps the most consequential of his career,” @markleibovich.bsky.social writes:

This devastating Substack post by Georgetown Law Professor @stevevladeck.bsky.social ought to cause Samuel Alito discomfort whenever he sees the word “Justice” in front of his name. He doesn’t deserve what that honorific implies.

Just incredible that a sitting Senator can say something like this with every expectation that such comments will not be grounds for bipartisan calls for his immediate resignation or removal from office.

so I guess for the foreseeable future I’m going to have to wake up every couple of hours in the middle of every night to refresh supremecourt.gov to see if anything new has happened in the ongoing case of 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙎𝙩𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙚𝙭 𝙧𝙚𝙡. 𝘽𝙪𝙣𝙘𝙝 𝙤𝙛 𝙇𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙎𝙤𝙘𝙞𝙤𝙥𝙖𝙩𝙝𝙨 𝙫. 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙍𝙪𝙡𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙇𝙖𝙬

This is a very, very complex and exceedingly thorough process that involves extensive use of the president’s TiVo remote, so please, please, everyone, give it time www.npr.org/2025/04/21/n...

Trump’s first 100 days have been a whirlwind of chaos and corruption, and it’s worse than we think. Sitting U.S. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse joins Rick on the LP Podcast. Head over to our YouTube and watch the full episode tomorrow morning. www.youtube.com/@TheLincolnP...

Van Hollen: "If the president gets to shred the Constitution and ignore the Supreme Court in this case, it is a very short path to the president ignoring court orders in other cases. So every American should care about this."

Kilmer has been kidnapped and is now forcibly being kept against US and international law on El Salvadorian soil. Go with a whole delegation.

Impeach Trump.

#TrumpCrash hit a historic mark. It is only the fourth time in history that the DOW has lost 2,000 points in a single day - and that follows a huge drop yesterday, too. The DOW is down nearly 4,000 since the #TrumpTariffs were announced on Weds night. #Trumponomics

How to tell if your President is a piece of shit, Chapter 851.

The job of defending democracy requires a measure of bravery, and Cory Booker showed that bravery in spades on the Senate floor. youtu.be/YgM6PgT0v1w

“What the Friday?” is back! open.substack.com/pub/therickw...

The main Fox News page is missing SOMETHING…some small story I can’t identify… oh, wait It’s the market collapse! Must be an innocent error.

Elon takes a beating. It’s a bright spot. www.mediaite.com/news/tesla-d...

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

Vandalize an insured auto, and the DOJ demands 20 years in prison! Same people PARDONED those who vandalized GOVERNMENT property AND beat police officers, leaving 5 dead! The hypocrisy is rich here!!! We see now that a car is more important to retrumplikkkans than police officers lives!!! #Tesla

This vote from Wisconsin was the "Big Kahuna" I didn't have much faith in Florida to save our country but that's why I moved away from there... Florida wouldn't save themselves if their crotch was on fire and they had a glass of water... and I really mean that... They're like a separate country...

Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people. Blazing your own path for the W 👏👏👏👏👏

Spoiler He’s worried about losing the seat

Appalling anti-American principles being advanced by the Secretary of State.

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Trump has created the illusion of getting a lot done because: a.) Whereas past administrations were constrained by their inclination to obey the law, he doesn't give a shit b.) He cares more about the illusion part than the actually getting stuff done part c.) The media falls for it every damn time

Super excited for the entire conservative infrastructure to tell me how Trump’s demand for price controls on cars is free market economics.

I'm starting to think Trump isn't a very good President.

Howard Lutnick is an entitled ass. He says - if you don't get YOUR social security, and you reach out - you're committing fraud. Suffer is silence because he doesn't want to hear you.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks… “The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government. 🧵

Trump looks sloppy

I hear people are calling his cars “Deplorians” these days.

My maternal grandmother died in the 1918 flu pandemic. RFK Jr can go fuck himself.

“Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

FYI if you ask Musk’s AI bot Grok for legal ways to peacefully protest Tesla, it gives you recommendations similar to what Rick Wilson put in his article. x.com/i/grok/share...

"'When you take away that artificial line . . . and you look at that beautiful formation of Canada and the United States, there is no place anywhere in the world that looks like that,' Trump boasted. 'Plus Greenland' Musk added." Know who they sound like?

This is so embarrassing

This is the article that got me banned on Twitter. Nazis? Fine. Racist freaks? Perfectly ok. Describing a social and media campaign to hit Tesla's stock price? Sissy SpaceX freaks the fuck out.

LEAVITT: This judge is a Democrat activist. He was appointed by Barack Obama. NBC: He was originally appointed by George W Bush.

Billionaire Elon Musk’s attempted takeover of USAID likely violated the Constitution in multiple ways, a federal judge said.
