In his interesting opinion piece in the NY Times, Matthew Huber says the Biden administration had no answer for the working class re: the cost of living. But the Progressive Policy Institute and other groups found that workers’ wages, adjusted for inflation, rose during this presidency.

Frail old dicktator. GTFO And take your b*tch puppet with you.

💯

At yesterday’s hearing,RFK Jr. — Trump’s Health Secretary, nephew of JFK,and son of Robert Kennedy —claimed the White House has never seen a smarter president than Trump. Considering JFK was his uncle and his father was assassinated running for president,that level of political flattery is pathetic.

I love”whorigami” 🤣 Paul Rudnick is a national treasure 👏🔥🔥🔥 h/t Liz Logan 🙏

SLOTKIN: If Trump asks you to seize voting machines during the 2026 election, will you stand up for the Constitution and say no? HEGSETH: It's yet another gotcha hypothetical, which is your speciality SLOTKIN: The guy you're performing for right now says he wishes he signed that EO in 2020!

Stooges say calling Trump a fascist and comparing him to Hitler "fuel[s] violence." But Trump is a fascist; and far from fueling violence, examining the similarities between the failed Hitler State and the failing Trump Regime is essential to the work of preserving our democracy, as I discuss in PN.

As a German I see all the similarities.

We are now at the point where the President cannot do basic math.

We are now congratulating Trump for failing

Q: In your letter to Congress, you said the hostilities in Iran have concluded. How can you say that given the naval blockade? TRUMP: Well, it's a very friendly blockade

Trump won't do anything to help Americans, but whenever Putin wants something he jump right to it!

RFK Jr. Flails as Senator Interrogates Him for Saying Black Kids Need To Be ‘Reparented’ #Mediaite

Ben Franklin, on why you should get your kids vaccinated: “In 1736 I lost one of my sons, a fine boy of four years old, by the small-pox, taken in the common way. I long regretted bitterly, and still regret that I had not given it to him by inoculation.

Deutsche Bank, the same bank that closed my bank account in 2024 for criticizing Israel war crimes and human rights violations at the UN… also facilitated ~$75.000.000 in Epstein network transactions as payments to individuals identified as young women “little girls.”

I don't think people understand the gravity of the situation as the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use in Iran.

After much reflection and after it became clear to me that some UN seniors are serving a powerful lobby and not the UN, I’ve decided to suspend my duties I cannot in good conscience be part to what is happening at a time when UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use May God bless this world

Why Trump's blasphemy is no aberration: my latest for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

This is dope as hell. Humans are pretty amazing at doing cool shit when there aren't some stupid assholes fucking shit up

JD Vance / Hillbilly Felony / MeidasTouch

I’m calling it. JD Vance is going to have it rough running for president because Trump won’t give up the spotlight or the quick endorsement he should. Worse, it already looks like he’s setting him up. If things go sideways, Trump won’t take the hit, he’ll make sure Vance goes down with him.

An examination by ProPublica shows how thoroughly and expansively the Trump administration has overhauled the federal government into what some fear is a vehicle for making sure elections go his way.

Thanks to my atheist physician friend Sonni Mun for these hilarious memes. Signed, a Taoist-Pagan-Agnostic 🔥👏😂🙏

Just a reminder that for all their big talk, DOJ is 0-4 in lawsuits to obtain state voter files. My law firm is 4-0.😎 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"The common sense of mankind demands that law shall not stop with the punishment of petty crimes... It must also reach men who possess themselves of great power and make deliberate and concerted use of it to set in motion evils which leave no home in the world untouched." —Robert Jackson, Nuremberg

CNN’s John Berman pins GOP Rep. Mike Lawler: “Do you support making a whole civilization die?” Lawler squirms, mumbles “no,” then parrots Trump’s war crimes.

Journalistic malpractice and democratic betrayal.

Yes, we are a Constitutional Republic with three branches, but until the other two standup and restrain him—for example, fix the War Powers Act and other acts that have yielded more power to POTUS. We’re stuck.

Every news organization in the country should be reminding servicemembers that they must refuse illegal orders. presswatchers.org/2026/04/are-...

#MilitaryTok reactions to Iran war stray from White House messaging: ‘Now I’m regretting everything’

SO SORRY that SO MANY of our family, friends and neighbors are fcuking insane.

Scott Colom is running in Mississippi. "He is also a historic figure, serving as both the first Black justice court judge of Lowndes County and the first Black city prosecutor of his hometown of Columbus." www.youtube.com/watch?v=NmKr... Heather Cox Richardson @hcrichardson.bsky.social

I like when conservatives are clear that they regard things like workplace safety as “communism” bsky.app/profile/phil...

I have room in my heart for this one.

There's no better summation of the rabidly narcissistic belligerent stupidity that people casually display on these apps

The US has burned through ~850 Tomahawks in 4 weeks. That's roughly a quarter of the inventory. At ~600 produced/year, that's ~1.5 years of production gone in a month. Hard to see what long-term political goal this buys. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/u-s...
