Sen. Cynthia Lummis (R-WY): We had record distributions in my county in Wyoming of Meals on Wheels, which is an indication that more and more people are turning to subsidized food opportunities. So I’m worried, and I admit that. But for now, I have patience.

Breaking news: New York jury finds Ticketmaster/Live Nation to be an anticompetitive monopoly. FINALLY. A jury says the truth about what nearly everyone in Washington keeps denying. Now we need remedies that help fans & lower prices, unlike DOJ meaningless “settlement.”

Peter Meijer: "Is the Democratic Party not also a party of faith?" Emily Austin: "I don't know, they made Trans Visibility Day on Easter." Sarah Matthews: "And Trump dropped the F-bomb on Easter and didn't go to church, he went and played golf."

I don't think putting a Nazi in charge of rooting out terrorism is a good idea but YMMV.

Sebastian Gorka, a national security aide to President Trump, is seeking to become the next head of the National Counterterrorism Center, a position that would give him broad powers over the country’s vast counterterrorism apparatus.

I will be really, REALLY happy when John Fetterman leaves the Senate.

Happy Wednesday

So Guy Fieri put out a statement yesterday saying that he had no idea who the sexual abuser was that he talked to at the UFC Event on the weekend. I'm not buying it.

No idiot since the beginning of time has ever been in a position to do so much damage to so many people as a consequence of his malfeasance as Trump. No one.

again. “NATO wasn't there when we needed them.” When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU.

You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical

NOPE!!!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

I stand with the Pope, Jesus, and my Muslim friends. MAGA Christianity is Jesus-less, love-less, and evil. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/maga-chris...

SHAME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TRUMP IS SCUM STOP NAZI VANILLA ISIS NOW

Appalling. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

"The problem is that there is what psychologists would call a cognitive dissonance. You have to bend reality, and stuff reality into a box and pretend it's not there ... And you can only do that for so long before you lose your mind."

BREAKING: 75% of Americans support releasing the Epstein files, even if it implicates their own party, according to PBS poll.

Mike Johnson on the Pope: "If you wade into political waters, you should expect some political response & the Pope has received some. Frankly I was taken a bit aback by him saying something about 'those who engage in war, Jesus doesn't hear their prayers' or something. There's 'just war' doctrine.'"

Oh sorry, so religion and politics should be separate? Is that what you're saying? bsky.app/profile/atru...

THIS kind of "intimate" relationship between Paramount and Trump is the reason why I am testifying this afternoon before a Senate panel against the merger of Paramount and Warner Bros., which owns CNN www.thedailybeast.com/new-cbs-boss...

CHRIS MURPHY: What does it mean to 'end a civilization'? MIKE WALTZ: It was some tough talk. They clearly got the message MURPHY: I guess it's an open question as to whether we should try to pursue our aims by threatening another nation with mass civilian casualties

Unlike the US media, international media are saying it like it is. The US is a global pariah:

I hope the international media sees THIS as well, as they laugh at Trump. The name is priceless!

You’re probably going to hear a lot about what the rich really pay in taxes today. This chart tells the real story.

Oh, “you’re ostensibly somebody who is supposed to be doing stuff” is how I feel about everything all of the time now.

They’re burning the hats but we’ll remember who they were.

Burn Baby Burn 🔥

Lance Wallnau calls Trump a deliverer sent by God, and connects Trump's dispute with the pope to the "religious war" against "the Prince of Persia"

A Trump administration executive order that would require banks to collect citizenship information from customers is in "process," U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Monday, as experts warn it could leave millions of Americans without access to a bank account.

oh really

Woke 2.0 is going to involve a lot of "Tough luck, chum" attitudes to repentance like this I think

FWIW: And this isn't the cleanest story. The first attempt to return to the moon dates back to GW Bush with Constellation, which didn't really go anywhere. Obama cancelled that. Part of it got rolled into the Space Launch System, which also got cancelled. And replaced with Artemis in 2017.

I think we should all start blogs again. Or online journals, even. That was a nice time. Just writing a few paragraphs about your day (don't forget to list the sad song you're listening to!) and maybe your friends will leave a comment. Then you go and read theirs and comment. It was fun.

Dems running for the Senate posted some massive fundraising hauls in the first quarter. The most striking number so far: James Talarico brought in $27 million over the past three months.

Trump on Artemis II: "I started that program. NASA was closed."

Good Wednesday morning everyone! 😀☕🌞🌈🌻☮️💙 Happy Hump Day everyone! The weather has me all discombobulated; we're set to break heat records throughout the Philly suburbs today! I hope everyone stays cool and has a wonderful day! May you encounter unexpected joys and blessings.
