kilmar abrego garcia's lawyers should publicly demand a chunk of this money, i'm dead serious

the president was fined $200 for late reporting on MILLIONS in trades. i just this morning paid a bigger fine than that for guessing a little wrong when i made my estimated quarterly tax payments last year.

all this odyssey-posting has got me thinking about this again

I really do think Trump misheard Talarico saying "cisgender" as "six genders," and that's just a thing he says now. The first person I saw make this observation deleted the post saying it, but yeah.

very much of the view that a democratic congress should wield the guarantee clause against ad hoc, mid-decade redistricting, a practice which is an end run against representative government itself

7 months to go

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

Double Fine is unionizing aftermath.site/double-fine-un...

this is really heartwarming. two men exchanging symbolic tokens of things the other has no interest in (football, peace)

This is particularly maddening because the court allowed the election to go ahead when all the legal facts were exactly the same. The only real new information they have now is what the result was.

This headline from Justice Roberts and the red banner of what Tennessee just did to Memphis after the SCOTUS gutted the Voting Rights Act..

Excited to live in a country where you can mail someone a handgun but not an abortion pill

Unearthed reports reveal that RFK Jr. fired every full-time CDC cruise ship sanitation inspector ahead of the Hantavirus cruise ship outbreak. www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-cru...

Elon Musk accidentally revealing his mom's account is one of his alt's means that he has both impersonated his own infant child and mother online

So the Feds did more to investigate VA workers who went to Alex Pretti memorial than those who killed him.

The lead plaintiff in Callais v. Louisiana said on social media that he was at January 6:

YouTube has removed one of my videos because I reported that women can still access abortion pills. I shared *factual & medically accurate* information about women's health—yet the platform says I'm "facilitating the sale of illegal drugs"

Oh, the people who blow up ships are the bad guys? Huh.

Roberts Court doing the judicial equivalent of “we can’t consider a Supreme Court nominee in January, it’s an election year” and “of course we’ll confirm a Supreme Court nominee in October of an election year when voting is already underway.” Deeply bad faith. Liars whose only principle is power.

You can't lower gas prices by blurting out the names of a few Democrats. The administration needs to stop its crazed policies that cause so much economic pain. This happened on Trump's watch because he doubled fuel prices by taking our country to war, which drove Spirit out of business. Obviously.

Two nights ago, I said Trump had been using our troops as pirates in Iran and a Republican got mad. Well… the president just admitted it. He literally bragged about doing piracy.

a “what does tucker carlson believe” story should be one sentence long and the sentence is “he will say literally anything for money, we saw him admit it in the texts released in the dominion lawsuit”

Any of my comrades in Omaha should head down to Memorial Park for the Workers Over Billionaires rally happening right now! Tons of local orgs, speakers, music and food! Anyone else please repost for visibility! #workersoverbillionaires

one time the biden administration politely asked social media platforms to take down covid misinformation to save lives and the rightwing ecosystem spent years screeching about the perils of censorship

This morning at Hancock High, seniors headed to the floor of the gym to receive their caps and gowns, each from a teacher they had chosen. Stacy Campbell waited there, holding her student Israel Makoka's cap and gown. But he wouldn't come. He and his brother, Max, 15, had been taken by ICE.

It's an understudied element of our media environment that Republicans can insult Democrats in any way they see fit, regardless of propriety or truth value, without repercussion, but Dems are consistently forced to use measured tones to describe Republicans no matter how outrageous their actions.

They shot Alex Pretti ten times while he was face down in the street.

Trump’s ballroom is costing taxpayers nothing, just like he said. Unless you count the taxpayer money he’s shoveling under the table. A comically corrupt administration, from top to bottom. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/u...

I really want a senator, rather than explaining the math, to just say "We all know what's going on here, Mr. Secretary. Trump said a moronic thing and now everyone in the administration, including you, has to pretend it's real. You know it isn't real. But you can't say that because you're a coward."

Burchett is right: the most DC thing ever *is* a member of Congress blaming the city for something he and his colleagues did themselves.

they are calling it the perfect summary of the "keep men out of women's sports" movement

GOP - *gerrymanders* DEMS - hey stop that no fair GOP - *gerrymanders even more* DEMS - we mean it we’re gonna sue SCOTUS - *legalizes gerrymandering completely* DEMS - *start gerrymandering* GOP - HEY STOP THAT NO FAIR!!!! 😭

Missouri's murder rate is 73% HIGHER than California’s. No amount of right-wing spinning can change reality: our state is investing in prevention, enforcement, and is holding criminals accountable. The U.S. Senator from Missouri should fix his own failed policies before lecturing us.

Peace when markets are open War when markets are closed

If this actually happens, it may rank as the single most corrupt act in the history of American politics. I cannot believe this is even under discussion.

A+ headline. defector.com/president-ex...

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

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."

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute

Here’s the story of one of them. Awful www.thestranger.com/forced-out/f...

A reporter asked Trump about Iran charging fees literally yesterday -- and his response was that we were going to get a cut of the action!

ICE loves hurting and killing women.

My one-hour special “Rick Steves Iran: Yesterday and Today,” which helps humanize 90 million Iranian people, is streaming free and ad-free at www.ricksteves.com/watch-iran.

Alright let's see. In 2019 Trump was angrily posting about the 1.8 billion in cash the Obama administration gave Iran in 2016. 1.8 billion divided by 2 million is 900. Prior to the start of this war, about 135 ships went through the Strait of Hormuz every day.

something strange and horrible and somehow fitting that we should have a very real threat of madman civilizational destruction at the very moment when we also have humans on the dark side of the moon taking pictures that show how small, precious, and beautiful our world and existence is

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

Imagine you're slipping the surly bonds of Earth and touching the face of God but then you have to get on the phone to listen to a child molester ramble about how Bette Midler is nasty
