In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces. 249 years later, we have this idiot.

Donald Trump is using a war, with thousands dead and billions in damages, to manipulate the markets and enrich his plutocratic enablers. He is a traitor to his country.

“This is not conservativism, this new “one man above all” ideology that drives today’s GOP. It’s raw, naked evil. And it’s about damn time that Democrats and Americans of good will begin to call it out for what it is.” Thom Hartmann

“And now we have a low-IQ nepo-baby psychopath sitting in the White House because he promised a roomful of petrobillionaires and Elon Musk that he’d cut their taxes, kill off green programs, and let Musk dismantle any agency that was investigating him or his businesses.” Thom Hartmann

“Today’s modern conservative movement, though, isn’t conservative at all, and hasn’t been since the Reagan Revolution: it’s reactionary and, through the two Trump presidencies and the Project 2025 embrace of Orbánism and Putinism, has now become fully fascistic.” Thom Hartmann

“We will pay the price for decades for an ignorant, mentally unwell U.S. president’s sabotage of America’s distinctive assets, stupidly abetted by cowardly Republicans.” Jennifer Rubin

“moves to bludgeon trading partners with tariffs and leave them to bear the brunt of a reckless, counterproductive war with Iran (then threatening NATO when Europeans refused to back him) opened the door for China to present itself as a model of stability in a world of Trumpian chaos.”Jennifer Rubin

“The difference between 2018 and 2026 is that not only has Trump become an even more repellent personality, his actions have made everything worse. In fact, it’s hard to imagine what more Trump could do to enrage the electorate and ensure his party’s defeat in November.” Paul Waldman

"The last seven days show that, while Trump and Republicans continue to destroy everything they touch, there is a parallel universe in which very good people are working very hard to make positive change and succeeding! You, in fact, are among them!" Jess Craven

"It's Groundhog Day from Hell with..Trump..If (he) had..done nothing but play golf for the past 7 weeks, the Strait would be open,Iran would be weaker, gas prices would be lower,people would be alive,and China would not be emerging as a stronger and more reliable partner for U.S. allies."Wajahat Ali

“The United States is the greatest experiment in human freedom in human civilization. It is a glorious and triumphant achievement that is worthy of celebration, preservation, strengthening and renewal. There is no society on Earth that is more vital, vibrant and complicated. “ Steve Schmidt

“But, my God, like I said, we are led by people who not only can’t plan a war right, they can’t even successfully execute a surrender. And that’s a really bad omen, not just for the Iran conflict, but for everything else.” Paul Krugman

“Donald Trump, a thoroughly evil man, has assembled a regime of drunks, extremists, broken children, untreated psychiatric patients, religious crackpots, sexual predators, grifters and criminals, and though they think he is a God, he is most certainly not. He’s a scumbag.” Steve Schmidt

“America can survive MAGA and this horrid era, but not if MAGA survives. It is the reformed Confederacy, and it is a disease.” Steve Schmidt

The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room. The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction. The Health guy collects raccoon dicks. It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.

Loved his music, an intelligent man.

It’s so impressive how quickly Jesse can produce new fully thought out outstanding lyrics.

NEW: “We see, just, use of excessive force after use of excess force,” said Christy Lopez, who spent years investigating law enforcement misconduct at the DOJ. “In no scenario is it OK to be pepper-spraying people as you're leaving the scene.” w/ @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Donald Trump, a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist & accused child molester has been involved in over 4,000 legal cases since the 1970s, including contract disputes, defamation suits, sexual harassment cases and over 100 tax disputes. …and that does not count legal cases by his administration.

Got my first pair of high quality hearing aids yesterday. I’m 65. Been playing sax since the 4th grade (1968ish) and professionally since 1983. Very interesting the things I’ve been missing. Just flossing my teeth is a new sonic experience!

Jill and I are headed up to Banff in May. Anyone have suggestions for amazing hiking in the area based on personal experience? Maybe even places to avoid…

“…Trump was a failed businessman, who merely played a canny real estate mogul on TV. Alas, in the real world there are no editors to wipe away his errors and make sense of his babbling.

“Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Bondi, Miller, Blanche, Pirro, RFK Jr, Noem, Lewandowski, Vought, Bovino, Leavitt, Cheung and Johnson are some of the greatest villains in American history…Together, they have engaged in crimes, corruption and lawlessness that beggars belief and description.” Steve Schmidt

“The undaunted, unrelenting, and unafraid Magyar and the people of Hungary he inspired deserve our thanks and praise. They powerfully demonstrated what is possible when ordinary people take ownership of their country and their democracy.”Jennifer Rubin

This is an almost perfect example of why the ruling class turns to fascism to crush the threat of socialism and the power of the working class.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

“Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Bondi, Miller, Blanche, Pirro, RFK Jr, Noem, Lewandowski, Vought, Bovino, Leavitt, Cheung and Johnson are some of the greatest villains in American history. They will be judged as such…they have engaged in crimes, corruption and lawlessness that beggars belief.” Steve Schmidt

“…Alas, in the real world there are no editors to wipe away his errors and make sense of his babbling. Frightfully, the real-world disasters he will leave in his wake will inevitably hold much more consequential outcomes than bankrupt casinos.” Jennifer Rubin

“Operating from his “gut,” Trump never learns, never solicits help, and hence, never refrains from international debacles (e.g., trade wars, threatening Greenland, war with Iran). When bullying fails, he is flummoxed and furious.” Jennifer Rubin

“Sending the same ignoramuses back to negotiate a ceasefire (with the totally inexperienced Vance) was a recipe for failure. Trump could never, and will never, admit he chose unprepared negotiators.” Jenifer Rubin

“Trump is too lazy and arrogant to learn about important issues and systematically eliminated anyone who might know better and have the temerity to go toe-to-toe with him to avert disasters. We therefore get a stream of impulsive, illogical, and often counterproductive actions.” Jennifer Rubin

There is no justification for today’s extraordinary concentration of wealth at the very top. It’s distorting our politics, rigging our markets and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

I drive a minivan with a license plate that literally spells out OVRSITE.  We need to stop measuring success by what we say we'll do and start measuring it by what we actually deliver.

So, today is raccoon penis Wednesday, which follows on the heels of lecturing the Pope on theology Tuesday, that was really a doctor with a halo Monday and the President is Jesus Sunday. America the Bonkers.

The More You Know 🙄

Hopefully he's just getting started. Fascism dismantles democracy boldy. You can't be wishy washy when you restore it. U.S. must shut down Fox and Newsmax. Seize any wealth the Trump circle has hoarded through crypto and foreign bribes, jail anyone who has compromised democracy. It's the only way.

“Every Democrat in America should scan their local horizon for examples of corruption they can use against Republicans. The words “Republican corruption” should be continuously on their lips, whether campaigning, speaking to constituents, or making media appearances.” Thom Hartmann

This is unfair to all taxpayers.

🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸

“When the argument becomes right vs. wrong rather than right vs. left, an amoral, corrupt autocrat is cooked. A wide coalition that can unite around simple propositions (e.g., freedom, decency, fairness, peace, truth) can bring down…a mad king who rages at the Pope.”Jennifer Rubin

“Popular movements grounded in stirring positive emotions such as patriotism, love, and faith accelerate the demise of secular autocrats who appear small, desperate, and superficial in comparison to religious figures. When despots insult the faithful, matters go from bad to worse.” Jennifer Rubin

“Sure, there are real public servants in existence, but the problem is that the bad ones can imitate the good ones. They learn the language. They borrow the posture. They study the moral cadence and reproduce it convincingly enough to pass, at least for a while.” Daniel Barkhuff
