There’s a difference between a bad strategy and no strategy at all. Rothkopf argues Trump’s Iran moves fall in the second category, where decisions stack without logic and consequences keep spreading.

Trump says the meme doesn’t depict him as Jesus, just a Red Cross worker tending to the sick. One of the most insane lies he’s ever told. This is what Trump sees when he watches THE PITT

I'm old enough to remember when the Christian right were upset over Starbucks removing a snowflake from coffee cups, saying they were taking Christ out of Christmas.

Throwback to when Trump posted this after Pope Francis died.

“Donald Trump’s ‘blockade’ of the Strait of Hormuz isn’t strategy - it’s a confession that they’ve run out of ideas.” Brigadier General Steven Anderson breaks down the current state of play in the Middle East on our Substack. Read it now: substack.com/@votevets/no...

A Blue Senate is Coming Into View #ABlueView 🧵1/2 Cook Political Report: "The Senate battlefield is shifting in Dems’ favor... winning back a majority still remains a tall order... However, that outlook could change... [Now] we are shifting 4 ratings, all in Dems’ favor."

I needed a good news story today and thought you might like it, too.

Perhaps not everyone realizes that there are four "Great Prophets" recognized by Islam. They are, in chronological order, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Jesus. That's why Trump's image of himself as Jesus is blasphemous to Muslims as well as to true Christians.

Savage - and awesome.

Republicans bet big on their “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” But it's not going to save them in the midterms. Read more here: www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

How is Donald Trump going to win the midterms? Will he create a national emergency by staging some sort of terrorist episode? Will he send ICE to every voting station in the Blue states? Will he manipulate voting through gerrymandering? Will he be successful with his SAVE Act (near impossible to...

1. Who has ever called Trump "crazy like a fox"? And who's been having this debate? 2. Could be the best piece in the "NYT is on it" series. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

If Hungary can get rid of its autocrat, so can America anntelnaes.substack.com/p/viktor-orb...

Facebook is cold

Seems like a good time to remind everyone that he posted these too:

That's because they're not actual Christians themselves. Losers, every one.

He's confusing this with the # of his felony convictions.

Must be nice being able to just blatantly like about shit because you know absolutely nobody will hold you accountable for doing so and nobody in the media will dare fact check you.

34… 4… what’s a little exaggeration of 30 ships amongst friends? (4 ships transited yesterday)

This still is from a viral video of Trump exposing his grandson to his creepy, handsy objectification of young women he's decades and decades older than. As someone who knows nothing about guns, I'm trying to figure out what the hell that US Secret Service agent is holding in his hand. Anyone know?

That last bit is key. Americans swallowed whole the notion that all we need to be is consumers, not citizens. We are trained to identify as consumers, not ppl who have a RESPONSIBILITY to participate in democracy. Apathy got us here and here we will stay unless we convince the nappers to wake up.

Yes, too many people don't take the time to vote. Then they spend a lot of time bitching about leaders they didn't vote for. My mom always said to us, if you don't vote, you shouldn't get to bitch about it.

If you can automate the draft you can automate voter registration

That’s the trouble with Americans, they don’t give a shit about voting … - … Unless or Until they realise that THEY are getting fucked by the Government they could have voted against.

If our vote doesn't count, why try so hard to suppress it? "One of the artifices of Satan is, to induce men to believe that he does not exist." ~ Charles Baudelaire, “Le Figaro” Paris Newspaper in 1864. From where Republicans took their cue: quoteinvestigator.com/2018/03/20/d...

Truth...

Food for thought: In '24, 245M Americans were eligible to vote. just 73.6 % of those (174M) registered to vote. just 154M of them actually voted. US voter turnout ranked in bottom 1/3 of all democracies. This is how democracy dies. Too many people have taken too much for granted for too long

If Melania Trump genuinely cared about victims of Jeffrey Epstein, then she’d offer to go in for a deposition with the House Oversight Committee or testify publicly.

I hope you’re liking the Idiocracy evidence I’m posting!

FAFO

Meet Bishop Robert Barron (shown w/ Heritage president Kevin Roberts in 2023). Today, he wrote that he thinks Trump “owes the Pope an apology”, while gushing that it’s “been a high honor to serve on [Trump’s] Religious Liberty Commission” from which Barron gave no indication of resigning. 1/

As the Pentagon purges some minorities and women from high-ranking positions, the message being sent to lower-ranking officers is that “they will be assessed on the basis of their gender, race, or politics, rather than their abilities,” Adam Serwer writes:

The signs were all there from the beginning. Reminder that he was on Vanguards board and said that he’d recuse himself and then did not when a case involving Vanguard appeared before his court (and he ruled in Vanguards favor) He has always been an angry, corrupt fuckwad

I wish this article said more about ways to get people into car-free (or even car-light) lifestyles. The affordability problem gets a lot worse when you need one car per adult, rather than one per household. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
