I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading. It was worth it.

"You're just voluntarily complying with this whimsical cosplay" -- holy shit, Tim Kaine is *demolishing* Russ Vought

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

"I'd like to gavel in today's board meeting of the American Medical Association...."

Here a grandmother is forced to do a gig job with no job security because she can’t afford to retire? What are we celebrating here?

Does this look like Trump as a doctor?

I don't think my day can recover from "I thought it was me as a doctor." Let's call it a wrap.

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

Periodic reminder that the president has lost his fucking mind

Imagine traveling thousands of miles just to prove you’re as unlikable in a second language as you are in your first. That’s the JD Vance commitment to excellence in failure.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Usually economic shocks are called things like pandemics or oil embargoes. This version is more: bloke walks into the policy room, sees a rake, and steps on it repeatedly.

"We didn't read your book, Melania. We didn't. I understand that you're annoyed because you did detail this in your book, but we didn't read your book. I think we could all admit we didn't read the book." @janecoaston.bsky.social and @timmiller.bsky.social on Melania's crisis communications attempt

Trump is done. He needs to be removed from office. He’s compromised, unwell, and unfit. Call your Republican reps and tell them it’s time. He’s an albatross. Cut him loose.

“Reports”??? He’s got access to the best intelligence in the world. He doesn’t know?

Everybody feel better now?

The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator. The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization. Congress is on recess. This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.

Trump lost this war in every possible sense — morally, legally, politically, economically, reputationally, and strategically.

(I told you guys this last week)

I’m mad we’re at war. I’m glad he didn’t escalate. I’m scared that such a feral-acting, feeble-thinking, manipulable, maniacal, miserable excuse for a leader is our commander in chief. convulsions.substack.com/p/empty-ulti...

The President of the United States is a madman.

In a sane world, in a world of accountability, the man who incited a deadly insurrection five years ago never would have been able to hold public office again. That reckless, abusive man needs to be removed from office. Now.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

So there’s no regime change, we lift all sanctions against them going back decades, they retain missile and drone capabilities, they control the strait and can charge tolls, and keep their enriched uranium. So much for “unconditional surrender.”

The people of Iran aren’t free. Iran can now charge tolls. The nuclear material sits EXACTLY where it did, in the same amount, since June. The regime is still in place with a younger ayatollah. Iran still was launching missiles, now with more money to rebuild. Period

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

Donald Trump is alternating between religious proclamations and profane outbursts while threatening to bomb bridges in a war he claimed we already won. It’s not just unpresidential; it’s a hallucinatory approach to foreign policy that is going to get more people killed.

We’re living through a defining moment in our nation’s history, and the mainstream media is nowhere close to rising to it.

All reporters and editors need to heed this advice. The words matter. Tell it like it is.

Agree 100% . (Ron Fournier longtime AP bureau chief in DC.)

The President of the United States commemorates Easter by threatening war crimes and dropping an F-bomb We need a new president, immediately, insomuch as this one has lost all control over his faculties

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic. Boy, did they screw up.

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

I try to avoid taking the bait and amplifying a message that is posted with an obvious desire to divide and conquer, but every voter needs to see this one. This man is unfit for office.

Kamala Harris’s Easter message:

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

A US service member is missing and this is the first we've heard from the president. Need I say more

This dog brings his “BFF toy of the day” to every meal Like… he won’t eat unless his bestie is sitting with him.

I can’t even begin to tell you how bad this is.

I just don’t think you need to love war crimes to be a real man.

A country where Flag Officers are dismissed on the whim of a president or a secretary of Defense -- and where it's tolerated by those in a position to stop it -- is a country in decline

bizarre argument that slaves brought to the US against their will have domicile in the US, and owe allegiance to it, but immigrants who came here intentionally, and want to remain, do not have domicile here and do not owe the US any allegiance

Oh look…

What in the actual fuck was that
