I feel like this would be one @razzball and @cjfogler would like

Every weakness in our political system – the Electoral College, the makeup of the Senate, lifetime terms for the Supreme Court, the acceptance of gerrymandering – has been weaponized by the fascists to steal our government from us.

As I was saying … I don’t see a way we survive. We can fight but the deck is so stacked …

This headline from Justice Roberts and the red banner of what Tennessee just did to Memphis after the SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act..

This wouldn’t have happened if people had been wearing tuxedos

Today is one of those days where defeat feels inevitable. If these racist assholes will ignore tornado warnings to disenfranchise Blacks in these states, where does the chance to take back power and start the slow climb back come from other than the GOP shredding itself when that glorious day comes.

Possible tornadoes and a flood, but they’re still voting to nullify Black representation. It’s a tidy encapsulation of the history of southern racial politics: whites in power caring more about repressing Black people than about their own lives and welfare.

Absolutely epic.

You know, Hitler really was good at gardening.

Lord of the Rings. Spent two weeks wandering in a forest maze until I pulled out graph paper

The Cook, the Thief, His Wife, Her Lover, and Grogu

I’ve been waiting for this all day today. Not that I knew in any way, but I knew, you know?

TV just cut to Ben Wallace and my sports ambivalent wife said “didn’t he play in the 2000’s?” My wife, the Suns fan who says Barkley when I ask her to name 3 current players, knows Ben Wallace. I’ve got nothing. It’s like someone woke up from a coma speaking Latin.

This also is how she landed Trump

The Ambassador Hotel staff might have some thoughts

kash patel says the fbi will leave no stone unturned, from the postgame locker room of the los angeles kings game tomorrow night to the jelly roll concert a few days later in memphis tennessee

Trump soared in the polls after a 2024 assassination attempt. Could another assassination attempt help Republicans in the 2026 midterms?

Hearing the head of the WHCA—who just days ago participated in a Paramount dinner “honoring” Trump— say tonight that the First Amendment is “fragile” because of a random shooter rather than because of the president sitting next to her on the podium is, I guess, exactly as pathetic as you’d expect.

anyone who attended that WHCA dinner is an embarrassment, and current events have not changed this

surely THIS time it’ll work

Absolutely positively not believing this. I know I sound nuts. I don’t care. Someone magically got a weapon through the magnometers, fired shots at random (per Wolf Blitzer) and only broke some glass. At the #WHCA dinner in front of a room full of media witnesses. No producer would OK that plot.

There is no way I’m going to believe this was spontaneous. Fool me once or some such …

I’m going to wait to post until one of their books comes out and tells what actually happened tonight.

The good news is, there are a lot of experienced, trained professionals on hand who can quickly gather all the appropriate facts and tell us exactly how this is bad news for the Democrats in the midterms.

We’re doing this again?

Being at the scene is the juice. And the opportunity to plan their next book with tidbits they learned and never shared because there’s $$$ to be made. What’s most obscene about that is they’re already at the top of the journalism salary food chain, but it’s not enough. 1/2

Embarrassing and pathetic. Have some dignity.

Former political reporter here … If you love access more then you care about defending a free media from the fascists, you’ve failed at your job. Access is an illusion. None of them are your friends. They’re the server at Hooters who smiles at you for the tip. They’re not your friends. #whca

See you all at the Correspondents’ Dinner!

It truly sucks that Elmo has made this less cool than it really is. #spacex

Post-Charlie TPUSA is a precursor for Post-Trump MAGA. Neither will survive without their own resident Antichrist.

Washington can only pay attention to a scandal or two at a time, which means in the Trump age there are all sorts of should-be-big-deal scandals that don’t get the oxygen or media focus that they should. I'll bet you've missed at least three of these: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/five-trump...

A mass shooting that took the lives of eight children should stop this country in its tracks. Instead, the Shreveport tragedy disappeared from the headlines in a day. We cannot allow this level of violence to fade into background noise. Ending America’s gun‑violence epidemic is a moral oblligation.

She can see for miles and miles … and sees Emperor YamTits still hasn’t gotten the Strait open.

It’s a good start

Oh sweet summer children concerned about Bluesky’s occasional server problems, let me tell you the tale of this fella:

Maybe Prime Video should be more interested in keeping the feed going than a bloody highlight chain or random blue circles.

YOUSE GUYSE NAZIS ARE BAD yes, even worse than people who get offended about things you don't get please trust us, the jews, on this? (Please also do not ignore the 3rd gen Latinae kids in a few decades whose finely tuned instincts about ICE will be, trust, on fucking point.)

The AzMirror! support your local press y’all! #Maddow azmirror.com/2026/04/10/i...

Me thinks that ICE detention facility aka concentration camp at the Mesa airport in Arizona is going to be shut down very soon! They think they’re drawing bad publicity right now, after this story tonight they won’t know what hit them! #Maddow

Fun fact: Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival started in 1999 to push back against high ticket prices. Now it’s $649 to get in, $20 for a beer, $17 for coffee and $150 for a caviar burger. Mission accomplished!

Coachella is owned by Philip Anschutz, a billionaire businessman known for his extensive ties to the Republican Party and support for Donald Trump. Stop paying for your own extinction. Stop giving these assholes your money.

Sooo … I’ve been to St Peter’s and the Vatican. The Catholic Church has zero place to discuss valuing wealth and power over human dignity and justice.

Average GOP Congressman: We err...uhhh...don't uh need uh...oversight of the DoD because uh...we trust the President to decide what's best Donald Trump: I AM JESUS CHRIST RETURNED TO EARTH THE POPE ISN'T MAGA AND HE'S WEAK ON NUCLEAR WEAPONS I AM GOING TO BUILD A HOTEL ON THE MOON

Gee. What a shame to see them damned.

I was absolutely convinced this was fake. I mean … this has to be a top 10 batshit post.

When you see a new book from @vermontgmg.bsky.social, you dig in as soon as possible. Also worth noting, Garrett has spent the past year covering all that Trump is doing as it would be covered if happening in another country. Puts the insanity in the proper perspective.

Telling that as big of a piece of shit as orban is, he managed to concede to defeat. Something Trump has never been able to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/w...
