A Harvard study just published estimates Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has already caused 600,000 deaths 2/3 of them children. That is his legacy in this world.

Warnock: "I know that there are those who are tired of the remedy. I'm tired of racism. I think it's a strange position to be more concerned about the medicine than you are about the malady."

I have great respect for @eggerdc.bsky.social and @thebulwark.com. I seek their engagement regularly, as he'll be the first to tell you (LOL). But this response to my piece, in which he questions aggressive redistricting, misses a critical nuance. Thread. www.thebulwark.com/p/tit-for-ta...

WARREN: Did you through your broker seek to invest in defense-related funds right before Trump started the war? HEGSETH: I'll give it to you as a big fat negative W: Is your broker getting your persona--- H: Bigger, fatter negative W: He's not getting your sign off before he makes investments?

TWO DOZEN women took the risk of publicly telling their stories of Trump sexually assaulting them, knowing that doing so would probably ruin their lives. For every one who did that, there had to be, what - 20? 50? 100? - he did it to, but who made the very reasonable decision not to go public.

Trump: I'm going to destroy an entire civilization. We're going to keep killing people in boats. Senator Kelly should be executed. ICE protesters are domestic terrorists. Immigrants are vermin. Raskin: Donald Trump is bad for this country. Bash: Do you regret your heated rhetoric, Rep. Raskin?

It's a shame that "defend your culture" always means "hate strangers different from you" and never "enact anti-pollution laws so that you can go fishing with your grandkids the way your grandpa taught you."

If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.

Trump and Elon Musk destroyed most of the global H.I.V. program that saved hundreds of thousands of lives in Zambia. Now the US is threatening to cut remaining support, unless Zambia gives access to the country’s mineral resources. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

Americans can't afford food or gas, but we'll have magnificent new granite against beautiful white walls stripped of paints and flame finished in the ballroom almost nobody will ever set foot in.

I thought this felt relatable

There have been multiple examples of fishy, lucrative Polymarket or Kalshi bets that seem to have been made possible by inside information as to Trump's upcoming statements or actions. It would be great to see a future Dem Congress demand the bank info on those bets to identify who did it.

Just out here bragging about how effective the war crimes are

Remarkable: 100% of the ads in Northern Virginia heavily featured Trump to turn out voters for the redistricting referendum in the closing days, a source tells me. That's right, all of the ads were all about Trump. This backfired for him spectacularly. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2093...

The party of free markets, of Reagan, the intellectual heirs of Milton Friedman, the champions of market forces over big government, and of free enterprise and small business over the jackboots of government intervention.

Ossoff: "How does American politics really work? It's coin operated. Money goes in, favors come out. It's been running on secret money, corporate money, billionaire money ... all of this gave rise to a depraved president who exploits this rot to empower and enrich himself"

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business. WE Pay for

New euphemism for "pure, unadulterated horseshit" just dropped

Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

I'm a bit surprised to hear some folks claiming Dems will "never" do any of this. Dems have already impeached Trump twice, have made multiple criminal referrals, and are currently setting up a 25A commission. And House Dems have already introduced DOJ independence reforms that are quite good.

Q: How much longer will American continue to see these high gas prices? TRUMP: Well, they're not very high Q: $4 a gallon still TRUMP: That's what ABC says, but the stock market is up. Everything is doing really well.

Trump has launched three more boat strikes this week, bringing the total death toll to 177. Remember: No judge or jury has found these boats were trafficking drugs. We're taking Trump's word for it. This is murder. We must not lose sight of this lawlessness.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

There's no greater sign of the iron grip that "both sides" framing has on American journalists than the repeated descriptions of the unhinged tantrum Trump is throwing over the pope's anodyne statements on Catholic doctrine as a "feud" or a "fight" or anything else that implies they're both to blame

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 (I'm NOT deleting my post below 👇)

It's not a counterpunch, guys. The pope didn't throw a punch. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/u...

this is a boring take but if we want this from a Dem President in 2029 we need to deliver the type of huge legislative majority Magyar just achieved and not the razor-thin one that Biden was forced to work with.

Barack Obama sent seasoned diplomats and nuclear scientists to negotiate the Iran Deal. Donald Trump sent a few real estate bros and JD Vance. Failure was a foregone conclusion.

Hello from Budapest, where the right wing expats are feeling glum www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/o...

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

Trump Promises Mass Pardons to Staff Before Leaving Office www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Seems like a pretty powerful card to me?

Both should be pursued. Neither impeachment and removal from Office nor the 25th amendment are likely to succeed. That’s not the point right now. The point is to continue to show how dangerous it is to keep this madman in office— and who is responsible for doing so

Joe Kernen comes close to having a coronary on air as Pete Buttigieg dogwalks him all over the Squawk Box studio about Trump's economic mismanagement and inflation

"Imagine a scenario where Kamala Harris was president and we were dealing with Iran" -- Sen. Dave McCormick's justification for Trump's war against Iran is a thought experiment

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

Because I just added this to some comments on a student's paper ...

Bravo to Pope Leo, for denouncing Trump’s threat to destroy Iran’s ‘whole civilization.’ We need those with moral authority to speak out against our president’s abuses of power.

"Trump’s latest climbdown won’t undo the damage from his murderous escalation. Ordinary Americans have seen with their own eyes that the president’s erratic behavior isn’t strategic. This is a crazy person, who did a crazy thing, & is likely to do many more crazy things soon." — @lizdye.bsky.social

Trump is now totally fine with Iran as long as they cut him in on the tolls they charge. The guy has the moral fiber of a sociopathic mob boss. He is a walking atrocity.

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Wall Street Journal publishes Iran's 10 point peace plan which President Trump said in his Truth Social post last night was ‘a workable basis on which to negotiate’

He's a madman. The world faces no greater threat than Donald Trump. www.thedailybeast.com/how-trump-ju...

Prosecute them

This is real

Now Ron Wyden:

This is not foreign policy, it’s a deranged mad man threatening to wipe out an entire country. It's past time. The 25th Amendment must be invoked.

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

The President just threatened genocide. The Joint Chiefs of Staff must disregard any such military orders that violate federal and international law. Republicans in Congress can't hide anymore: we must consider all options – including impeachment – to stop Trump.
