Moulton: I’m not a child psychologist so I can’t understand the mind of Donald Trump.

Is it a good sign that the White House commandeered prime time on the networks to broadcast what was essentially an unconvincing proof-of-life video?

Or, to put it more bluntly: "Rich people could pay less in taxes if only women would do more unpaid labor at home."

this is so much fun. Rocket launchers feel so different when it's "thing American public did together with their tax dollars and their government scientists" vs. "erratic billionaires with plans to replace us all with AI are lobbing more rich people or profit-making satellite into space"

“Trump Wants Allies To Grab The Persian Gulf By The Strait. ‘If You’re An Ally The U.S. Will Let You Do It.‘“

There’s no announcement coming. There is no plan.

Yeah, they hyped up these amazing people and then we all sat down and watched them die. A widely shared trauma that was left unprocessed because trauma wasn’t a thing in 1986. I don’t remember if we were sent home for the rest of the day or just went on to our next class.

Bernie is the billionaire class’s nightmare.

Hard to benchmark Trump news. One way: if someone told you on the evening of January 6, 2021 that in April 2026, President Trump would address the nation amid an Iran war he started with ground troops possible, after attending the SCOTUS argument on birthright citizenship, what would you have said?

On Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate the resilience of transgender Americans. We affirm, today and every day, that trans rights are human rights and that all our neighbors deserve to live safely and authentically.

This wasn't some random mistake: both the State Department and USAID called the contraceptives 'abortion'. And when international groups tried to buy the stockpile so it wouldn’t be destroyed, the administration refused, citing the Global Gag Rule. A policy that prevents U.S. funding FOR ABORTION

I started covering this last year, and I can't overstate how important this is: the Trump administration officially labeled some of the most commonly-used forms of birth control as 'abortion' jessica.substack.com/i/173447780/...

It takes SIXTEEN paragraphs for the New York Times to mention why the administration wanted to destroy nearly $10 million in contraception: It's because they claim the stockpile of IUDs, birth control pills, and hormonal implants are “abortifacient birth control.” www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/w...

🇺🇸 trifectas get <one> shot at doing something Obama chose policy (ACA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem Biden chose policy (ARP/IRA). It didn’t fix the authoritarian problem The platform must be <immediate> institutional reform next time. Right from the start, as @dhnexon.bsky.social said

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.

“Let this statement serve to represent” what? This post is the guarantee that Iran needs that you actually are pausing ten days? They came to you with tears in their eyes asking you to post so they would know it was for real? So many atrocities from this man, but I am so weary of him in all ways.

As an aside, I’m annoyed every time by his posts that read like a blend of royal proclamation, hear ye, hear ye, and business memo. And who is he talking to? What follow up are we who are reading it supposed to take to give the matter attention? Surely Iran is hearing directly from W. House?

I've come around to nuclear power as part of a clean-energy mix, but I covered the 1979 Three Mile Island accident and it still haunts. Especially now that DOGE is involved. I tried here to convey what's at stake. (Bonus: Old photo of me at TMI) @thebulwark.com www.thebulwark.com/p/doge-targe...

Interesting scenario to think about for the public school system, with vouchers perhaps leading to a sudden but temporary abundance of new private schools that don’t make it. No access to article but reacting to the blurb. And what about when vouchers are rolled back someday?

While the President sends more American troops to the Middle East, the price of everything - groceries, gas, mortgages - keeps rising. Let’s be clear: we are worse off today, and no safer, than before this unnecessary war began.

From the UK, but from what I remember of following epidemiologists during the pandemic, US had same scale of death and same missed opportunities and delays. Where is our commission? The public does not yet understand what happened. We are moving forward with incorrect memories and bad takeaways.

As you read corporate media stories about Trump sending 5,000 troops to Middle East for possible war with Iran reminder in the Iraq war we began with 200,000 troops on the ground. BUT Iran is 4 times bigger in terms of size and double population. We'd need 600,000 plus US troops not 5 or 10,000!

I know there's a lot going on But what the US is doing to Cuba is unconscionable

“Broken down into what government finances would look like as a household budget: “Household earns $52,446 and spends $73,378 — running a $20,932 annual deficit. Total liabilities and unfunded promises amount to $1,361,788 against just $60,554 in assets. $1.3 million in the hole.”

Sisyphus but every day he unsubscribes from marketing and promotion emails.

Being a powerful, wealthy person "unwilling" to speak the truth publicly and going further to actively lie is pretty much the definition of "not a good person."

The mask is completely off. You can’t meet these people in the middle. We’re not working toward the same goals. They hate America. They hate democracy. They hate freedom. And they hate you.

Billionaires have become powerful enough to purchase whole nations, lock stock & barrel, so the only institutions that can stop them are transnational alliances. Which is why: * they're constantly gunning for the EU & NATO * they're creating their own transnational fascist billionaire alliances

Oh. So they want Obama’s nuclear deal minus Obama’s signature. Got it.

Intentionally striking civilian targets is a war crime. It is a war crime when Iran dos it. It is a war crime when Israel does it. It is a war crime when the US does it. Striking a nuclear power plant is specifically prohibited by international agreement for obvious reasons.

Not sure why we're relentlessly going after Cuba ... now? Decades of being enemies and we viciously go after their people now? Was there an instigating act on their part or ...? Did I miss something a few months ago?

The US President casually announcing his intention to commit war crimes on social media. That's where you're at, America.

This would be one of those illegal orders those elected officials spoke about a while ago.

Trump is trying to drop charges against a Turkish bank for skirting Iranian sanctions, and is now lifting sanctions on Iran himself to the tune of $14B, all while going after Biden for unfreezing $6B of Iran's own money for food and medicine for the Iranian people.

He nails it.

Joanne Freeman spotted something that went right by me: trmp runs his reality show plays for ratings... the stock market is where he reads the ratings. None of this is real... except the pain.

And if it's immoral when Russia does it, it is immoral when we do it.

The right will try to repeat their lies that the Mueller Report "exonerated Trump" or "proved Russiagate was a hoax," but it did no such thing. It was a damning account of Trump's corruption by a foreign power, whose impact was limited by a cowardly Congress and complicit press.

That would never work in the US.

Don't worry, this is the first time the Kremlin has proposed to a foreign leader it secretly aided for years that he stage an assassination plot to win an election Anyone who thinks the Kremlin has proposed this strategy to even one additional foreign leader it secretly aided for years is a sicko

Pretty fascinating that the only two Inspectors General that Trump didn't fire are the guy who covered up the deletion of secret service text messages on January 6th (Joseph Cuffari) and the guy who investigated the death of Jeffrey Epstein (Michael Horowitz).

what do you think is this term’s “can we nuke the hurricane”? i think trump probably asked if they could use air strikes to create a new strait

1/10 Did you know ur tax dollars are being weaponized in a new way? Official public diplomacy projects are routing cash to build MAGA-aligned political networks across Europe. This isn't foreign aid. It is a massive state-backed influence operation #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
