Always odd to hear about a shooting at a church. Did the protective Lord step out for coffee?

Today in Politics, Bulletin 191. Trump heads out to patrol the streets of DC with the military, and everything else that happened today in politics. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Horrific story. DOGE targeted him on social media. Then the Taliban took his family.

I would like to thank all the Trump voters for giving me their money. I'm sure you'd prefer to buy groceries, but Trump's bill gives it to me, instead. I'm going on an international vacation. 🤷‍♀️ #electionshaveconsequences

no accidents

NEW: The DHS has issued a heightened terror threat for Americans. Good thing we have that 22 year old former gardener in charge of counterterrorism and DHS is busy with mass deportation. www.dhs.gov/ntas/advisor...

When they think no one is looking. *Cops damaging their own cars?

Hosta pathway looking green!

If you know anything about RFK Jr the fact that he falsified the MAHA report should not surprise you in the least.

Fixed it for you, Elon.

Moscow sent 273 drones to Ukraine in a record-breaking attack early today, two days after Russian President Vladimir Putin snubbed ceasefire talks with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Turkey.

Yup!

@nhpr.org calls BS on Republican NH House Majority Leader Jason Osborne and Deputy Majority Leader Joe Sweeney. In some places, facts still matter. Public university systems are one of them—which is why GOP leaders are openly attacking New Hampshire’s. #NHPolitics www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2025...

Looks like NH is pushing back against a non-germane amendment to a bill that would mandate undefined “firearms safety training” in NH K-12 public schools. Over 1,000 sign-ins against and a bit of creative theater outside. The public hearing is at 10am. #NHPolitics

One reason Americans don't pay as much attention to Trump's corruption as they should is that they don't think it affects them. But it does. In ways both cultural and legal, Trump is making it exponentially easier for fraudsters to take your money. www.salon.com/2025/05/02/c...

TRUMP TRADE WAR — The worst is yet to come: “Bluntly stated, if these tariffs stay in place wide swaths of products 🇺🇸 consumers are accustomed to buying will become either unavailable or priced higher than many are willing to pay.” pullinglevers.site/the-tariff-m...

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social on Fox: “It is the worst first 100 days for a president in 70 years. It’s objectively true.”

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

“All state aid cuts to counties and municipalities, and all new obligations passed down, increase local property taxes by increasing local costs.” #NHPolitics www.unionleader.com/opinion/op-e...

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

Trump claims $20 billion clean energy law is rife with fraud. Presents no evidence. Judge restores funding. www.cnn.com/2025/04/16/c...

NEW: AmeriCorps, the US federal agency that oversees volunteerism and service work, abruptly pulled teams of young people out of a variety of community service projects across the country on Tuesday, @wired.com has learned. @mollytaft.com w/ the scoop: www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

Because why help people?

From Nov 7:

Measles and tariffs, what century is this?

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

NEW on CNN: We ran through comments of all the top Justice Department officials - Pam Bondi, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and Ed Martin. All called for length prison sentences for mishandling classified information. They're now either defending or silent on SignalGate. www.cnn.com/2025/04/02/p...

What they see. What we see.

There were 13 church leaders & christian school employees who were arrested, pled guilty and/or were sentenced to prison for child sex crimes this week.

Just in case you missed this from Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker: "Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face."

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

I don't want Canada or Greenland… I want PBS, Social Security, and The Smithsonian. CAN YOU SAY THE SAME?! 🤚

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

No accountability?

Good question. Why DOES Pete Hegseth have a Russian phone number? 🤨

Based on the replies l, it looks like there a lot of fed workers on @bsky.app I just wanted to say THANK YOU. I can't imagine the shit you are going through right now Thanks for your service to our country

JUST IN: Judge James Boasberg has been assigned to the Signalgate lawsuit.

"THIS IS WHEN THE FIRST BOMBS WILL DEFINITELY DROP" "We are currently clean on OPSEC." These mouth-breathing dipshits.

“We are currently clean on OPSEC” accidentally sent to a journalist is an all time classic.

it is BUCK WILD that they are just texting this shit to each other

This isn't how gov't is supposed to work: The acting commissioner of Social Security admitted “I was ticked at the governor of Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” so I ended a program in Maine. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/25/s...

Happy One Month Anniversary to this story.
