I’m so thankful we moved to Spain.

Just for the record, THIS is what a real doctor looks like.

Grifters shocked to learn that when they joined grift with family of grifters they would wind up getting grifted

Maybe stop voting for these people who don’t give a shit about you.

Incredibly bad advance work.

Whew! Hillary Clinton this morning on the US-Iran talks that fell apart: “This is hard, disciplined effort that has to go into diplomacy to reach any results. And I don’t see this administration either wanting to do it or, frankly, being capable of doing it…”

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."

Two Week Notice: The Donald Trump Story

11 months ago is like 100 years in trump time but he was "joking" that he wanted to be the new pope www.nytimes.com/2025/05/03/u...

* POPE LEO CRITICIZES 'NEOCOLONIAL' WORLD POWERS HOURS AFTER CRITICISM FROM US PRESIDENT TRUMP @reuters.com

Can’t wait for Jake Tapper to explain this isn’t evidence of mental deterioration

Of Mr. Trump’s threat “to wipe out the Iranian civilization .. The pope called the threat ‘truly unacceptable’ in remarks to reporters, and .. called those threats a ‘sign of the hatred, the division, the destruction human beings are capable of’ ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

Attacking the Pope and depicting himself as Jesus. Imagine their reaction if Obama did this.

This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job

Confirmed with 98% reporting: Tisza still has 138 of the 199 seats, a bunch more than the supermajority it needs to amend the constitution.

Péter Magyar victory speech: "Hungary wants to be a European country again. We want to return to Europe." The crowd immediately chants "Russians, go home" in response.

Orban consolidated power by making the electoral system less proportional and gerrymandering districts of very unequal sizes. That gave Orban supermajorities when the opposition was divided and less popular—but it turned an opposition landslide into a supermajority that can now dismantle the regime

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

For all your schadenfreude needs

(AP) — Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded defeat on Sunday after what he called a ″painful″ election result, ending 16 years in power for a powerful figure in the far-right movement allied with U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. apnews.com/article/hung...

Save this clip for the next time joe rogan pretends to be horrified by what Trump is doing 🤔

Orban eating shit would be incredibly good news. That was the Epstein/Bannon/OG alt-right pet project for years and their model for how they want to gain permanent power. If they flip every lever there and still lose, there's real hope.

the idea that vance is anti-war and was a skeptic seems really to come exclusively from vance and is not borne out by anything else in his record as vice president so far

Tough poll number for Trump was just released on Face the Nation

This picture should haunt Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat and the National Security Advisor, who is complicit in this disastrous war (cc @dandrezner.bsky.social). The NYT reporting shows he had reservations and did nothing to try to stop it. And gutted the State Dept.

(Bloomberg) - Two empty crude tankers attempted to make their way through the Strait of Hormuz and into the Persian Gulf on Sunday, only to make last-minute U-turns just as peace negotiations between the US and Iran broke down, threatening a fragile ceasefire. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

A trio of @wsj.com headlines from this weekend — none of them good.

In his strongest words yet, Pope Leo XIV on Saturday denounced the "delusion of omnipotence" that is fueling the U.S.-Israel war in Iran and demanded political leaders stop and negotiate peace. https://to.pbs.org/4mmmfiB

Trump gets pantsed again.

“Repeatedly promised” sure sounds like he’s soliciting crimes.

we should treat these pardons as null and void as far as i am concerned www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

ROSENBERG: “.. Confidence in government policy in general fell a hard -10 points to 40.0, the lowest ever, and that covers the Vietnam War and Watergate. In one word or less — horrible. .. No wonder the proletariat is losing faith in the government — and it transcends this unpopular war.” #UMich

Dolores Huerta is a transformative pioneer for the farm labor movement. She is a powerhouse for working people, civil rights, and justice. This Dolores Huerta Day, I urge all Californians to take inspiration from her example and work to make a positive impact in their community.
