Anyone else feeling these lyrics from 15 years ago right now? www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpYe...

Phang: It’s time for federal judges to acknowledge that they have lifetime appointments—and that should give them the courage to uphold the rule of law, but also to put some damn teeth into the court orders they’re issuing. it’s time that we start seeing action from the judiciary. Grow some balls

Am I crazy or did we just have a convo about how we can't fund cancer research?

What radicalized you?

Damn, twenty four years! I’m old. On my fairly short list of ‘perfect albums,’ meaning it doesn’t have an even average song, should be played in its entirety, and absolutely rocks. Tool - Lateralus

Rahm/Newsom/Cuomo: Dems spend too much time talking about what bathroom people use or what sport team they play on The GOP:

Wowie. Republicans can’t govern, 2025 edition. What an absolute disaster for Johnson and Trump.

Happy b’day “When Doves Cry” — released 41 yrs ago today. On his last night of mixing, Prince started removing instrument tracks, said engineer Peggy McCreary. “The last thing he did was he punched that bass out. He smiled at me and said, ‘Ain’t nobody gonna believe I’d do this.’ And he did.” 🕊️

i genuinely want to know what the hell is wrong with this guy. he is a total monster and i am a little interested in how he got to be this way.

If you’re attending the White House Correspondents Association dinner tonight, be sure to come prepared with a joke about the toddler cancer patient they just disappeared despite her being a citizen. Otherwise it’s going to be awkward when you’re mugging for photos with Stephen Miller.

The cruelty and the stupidity is the point

APOLLO: * consumer sentiment collapsing * US tourism collapsing * new orders collapsing * cost pressures UP 🇺🇸

Macron shook one hand.

The President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it." And then... I lost it.

A headline from Hell. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

One guy shows up in a blue suit to the Pope’s funeral. You will never guess who.

In case you hadn't noticed:

If we’re serious about more efficient government and better everyday life in America - which we all should be - that means actually improving government, not cutting health care for poor people and slashing support for veterans.

Keep your eyes on Jack Schlossberg. He's without a doubt, the best Kennedy warrior to keep the heat on RFK, Jr., the biggest embarrassment to the family. He's just not going to let RFK, Jr. get away with anything.

Four Seasons Total Landscaping is once again ready to host the circus!

I'm gonna get hate for this, but I think anyone convinced to have a baby just to get $5,000 isn't financially secure enough to have a child… Just saying.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

My eldest daughter Claudia once asked me why there isn’t a provision that says that convicted felons can’t be president and this was *exactly* my answer

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

The MAGA world isn't sending their best.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

NEW from @nytimes.com: A bone-chilling account. A Venezuelan man detained alongside the 238 sent to El Salvador on March 15 seems to have disappeared off the face of the earth. His name isn't among the names of those sent to CECOT that day and no one spotted him among those men. He's just... gone.

Larry David wrote a quick little NYTimes Op-ed masterfully destroying Bill Maher for having dinner with Trump without even mentioning his name….titled "Larry David: My Dinner with Adolf" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Seriously.

Jesus died for our sins, but He may have to come back a couple of more times to cover Trump’s.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

If we were dealing with a remotely reasonable executive, or if the SCOTUS hadn't mistakenly held that the APA claim before Judge Boasberg was improper, we wouldn't be in this mess. The late-night, nationwide chaos and terror could be avoided ... www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

All day long yesterday, the MAGA dipshits on Elon Musk’s platform were screeching that the FSU shooter was a far-left LGBT Palestinian sympathizer antifa liberal prog. Huh. Weird. nypost.com/2025/04/18/u...

A 67% drop in ocean freight booking to US . US ports will start feel impact from end of April. Full effect on consumers by 4th of July. Btw several importers are mom and pop shops and they have been hit by custom deficiency bonds requests. Which in turn will spike up insurance premiums.

June 2024. El Salvador. This is how it started.

Everything is breathtakingly stupid

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

Some businesses now showing the “Trump Tariff Fee” on their bills to customers.

I don’t know if this is such a good idea. How’s the president gonna know what hurricanes to nuke?

😆

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Man if you think countries are dumping treasuries *now*…

anyone else exhausted from all the constant trauma

It's good that Trump partly folded in response to EU retaliation & a stock market collapse, but a 10% tariff on the world and 125% on China, plus an added atmosphere of chaos and unpredictability, is so much worse than the status quo ante that we would have been called alarmists for predicting it.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

I’m so fucking over Donald Krasnov Trump. I’m so fucking sick of Americans defending this criminal asshole. I’m fed up with brainwashed idiots who couldn’t pass 8th grade history all of a sudden giving opinions on world affairs.
