The only president stupid enough to do it.

We can be fairly certain Melania's statement last night was at least partly an attempt to stave off Amenda Ungaro's claims bc AFTER she made it, Paolo Zampolli told the Daily Mail he would back her story under oath. emptywheel.net/2026/04/09/m...

Believe the victims?! These are heinous crime allegations!

This is the type of energy we need.

Pretty obvious.

Trump is now begging to be business partners with Iran. Think about that. Reminder: there is zero evidence that what Trump is saying is true. None. Iran, however, is positioned to cash in and make more money than ever before.

There were no descriptions of Israel or UAE (much less the Saudis) being consulted on the negotiations, and China and JD Vance reportedly sealed the deal. One could imagine that the China-RU/JD-Iran axis learned from Venezuela what could make Trump sign a deal: A sense he personally would profit.

trump's creditor wanted a word.

1/ NYT out with a huge piece on the decision to go to war. It's much as we thought: Bibi sold Trump a rosy scenario that he heard over the mild to moderate warnings that it was BS but the details are so...appalling/demoralizing. Vance clearly a source: GIFT LINK 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

This is the real reason why Trump and Hegseth completely freaked out over the video about illegal orders.

We could be looking at one of the worst humanitarian crises in history tonight.

days like today i get incandescent with rage all over again that he wasn't in cuffs and an orange jumpsuit and perp walked on jan 21st, 2021

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will.” How fuckin’ explicit does Trump have to be? He is calling for a nuclear strike. — Seek his removal immediately!

It’s gobsmacking - and truly disappointing— to me that reporters don’t stick up for each other in these Trump news conferences

"One load. Out. One load. Out. One load. Out." --trump gets distracted and starts elaborating on his diapering routine.

1. I know the idea of "norms" went out with Cheers and technically there's no law about presidential medical disclosures, but the White House and its doctors covering up the president's true medical condition ought to be a Watergate-level scandal

“As a deranged old man slumps in his seat at the pinnacle of power, so bereft of any empathy or intellect, a full summation of his defects of character makes one shudder with the recognition that we have a madman at the wheel and the cliff is fast approaching.” open.substack.com/pub/noelcasl...

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.

You can really tell America is winning this war when the president panic posts “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards” at 5 am on Easter Sunday along with an extension on their deadline

Good to see electeds calling out the media clearly

Trump's firing of Pam Bondi and the war crimes of Pete Hegseth both illustrate the perils of personalist rule. Flattery, tribute, and the willingness to break laws for Trump are all that matter. We are seeing the disastrous consequences everywhere. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/2086...

Kristi Noem's husband's crossdressing was and open secret in DC, but so was Donald raping underage children. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

It's impolite to call Musk a genocidal white nationalist because "civility" in American discourse functions not as a neutral procedural norm but as an asymmetric weapon to shield the powerful from accurate moral characterization while policing the tone of those who object.

I can't help but wonder whether Trump had DOJ unilaterally declare the Presidential Records Act null and void is to excuse destroying specific damning communications, such as involving this White House official who nixed evidence sharing on Renee Good's killing. www.startribune.com/reckoning-re...

Hegseth and Trump are losing control of this war. They clearly underestimated Iran.

Bondi dropped the Trump U fraud case. She defended Trump during one of his impeachments. And she totally crashed the DOJ for him. A true tool. Still, she's fired.

True! Many countries in the world don't have leaders right now. They have mob bosses: USA, Russia, Israel, Hungary, SA, Belarus, India, North Korea, China...

Paging @robertgarcia.house.gov !

Well, that was perfectly clear: Donnie still can't read.

There it is...he "got close to the nuclear dust". #trumpondrugs

Makes sense that trump's ugly position is being argued by the man with the ugliest voice ever recorded.

JUST NOW: "Los Angeles. We're going to force ourselves upon them...which I'm allowed to do," the POTUS, an adjudicated rapist.

Yayyyy!!!

“And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray on the street corners, that they may be seen by others." Matthew 6:5

Most protest signs are held up. I decided to drag mine...in the gutter...where the #madking resides. #nokingsculvercity

I think we need to celebrate the death of Sora a bit more. This is a technology that, just MONTHS AGO, we were being told was going to literally destroy Hollywood and Disney was going to give them a BILLION DOLLARS and NONE OF THAT EVEN REMOTELY HAPPENED

Marco Rubio says of Venezuela's oil: "The money's not being stolen anymore." It's being stolen by you and your boss, Marco.

All of the men we wrongly sent to CECOT deserve compensation and justice.

FAB NEWS from #Greece! "Fear Not Fear Itself" received its 76th festival selection! We play Cine@Art Short Film Festival in Corinthia from June 13-20! #defendingdemocracy #animation #poetryfilm #musicaldoc #vfx

Go to a No Kings protest this Saturday. Find a protest near you at this link. Bring your family and friends. These protests are not a downer. Quite the opposite. They will restore your faith in humanity and make you believe we can defeat the cruel, thieving bastards. Join us. It's important.

Pretending Jared was qualified to invest $2B for MbS has bought him American service members to put at risk. Jared’s conflict here could lead direct to American deaths, even before you consider he is painfully stupid.

just a breathtaking self-own here from Ted Cruz

It won't happen, but every headline tomorrow should emphasize that Trump is the one blocking a solution to the airport crisis. He owns the shutdown now.

This you, @tomsoufiburridge.bsky.social ? (You actually do a really good job of challenging Bibi, so I was surprised to see you buy trump's lies today.)

This is honestly the best possible time to observe third party advocates who hate the two-party system. There couldn't be a better moment. (thread)

Yaaaayyyy!!!

Punchbowl confirms what I suspected in a post last night. Thune reached a deal with Dems to fund DHS except for ICE and Trump rejected it. DONALD TRUMP is to blame for airport chaos - not Democrats.

Facts!

As an atheist, even I know this.
