In case it's not super obvious- you...can't get doordash delivered to anywhere inside the White House fenced off complex, much less the West Wing much less the patio of the Oval gd Office. No need to treat a stunt as something real!

Good news, everybody!

Here we go ...

Democratic Senator Mark Kelly pops off at Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Marco Rubio and their war in Iran: "The American people are poorer and less safe because of this president...We've spent billions of dollars and this president does not have a plan." Go Mark!

1/ This is the private prison that Shane Bauer spent four months undercover at. That was before it started being used as an immigration concentration camp, but conditions and medical care were already horrific: www.motherjones.com/politics/201...

Energy policy think tanks keep putting out proposals like "give Mark Zuckerberg sole control over our utility rates by making him America's next grid czar" and the people in Everytown, America are like "go ahead and fuckin try"

i feel bad for our country but this is tremendous content

When you add it all up, the collapse in immigration looks like this: a decline of roughly 50K for illegal (even including the people arrested and not released) and a decline of about 132K for legal. Over 70% of the cut in immigration has come from LEGAL immigration.

Trump has cut legal immigration more than illegal immigration, as I predicted. While illegal entries have fallen, they continued a prior trend, falling more before he came back. Meanwhile, Trump has drastically cut legal entries, reversing the prior upward trend. www.cato.org/blog/trump-h...

We murdered two more people in boats today

Yes, M**k said that. Sneering at mass death, caused directly by himself, uncaring about alarms blaring.

Lucy Dacus just trying to handle this is amazing. But I, too, would ultimately accept whatever Janelle said

Since everyone is talking about Generation Lead, here is Kevin Drum’s huge 2013 investigation that first exposed the connection to a broad audience www.motherjones.com/environment/...

everyone involved in the dismantling of USAID should be forced to spend their lives watching graphic videos of what they have subjected people to in their callousness, clockwork orange style

The most vindicated man on the internet was the guy that tried, in vain, to make people understand you do actually need some decent firepower to deal with the Wild Hawg problem.

Wow Trump really threw Riley overboard, but at least she can swi— ah, well

Today, I learned that birds have regional accents. So now, I'd like to hear a bird from Shreveport.

More seriously, the boring political economy explanation of this is ~ that 45-64 is prime income/wealth accumulation years + folks aren't yet finely-tuned-into to retirement/Social Security/Medicare yet + this happens to every age cohort as they get older. It will happen to Millennials/Gen Z too.

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:

“Two can play at that game” is literally the Drebin quote here when he takes an innocent woman hostage to cluelessly fight the enemy

What's to stop a would-be killer from hiding his intent and asking about keeping an AR-15 from jamming? When I typed in a version of that question, ChatGPT instantly produced a detailed list of advice on how to “keep a rifle running reliably during heavy use” 👉 www.motherjones.com/media/2026/0... 1x

I know there is a lot happening <gestures wildly at all this> but we should all be worried that America's main Wall Street watchdog quietly announced last week that it is prosecuting way fewer financial crimes: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

“Yes, we have these great jobs, and we live in these great neighborhoods. But privilege comes with its own price.” Khiara Bridges took on Josh Hawley. Now she’s taking on the maternal healthcare system.

As a woman, I offer my sympathies to the Pope who is now being told hourly by very many random men what he actually means

I didn’t know this, did you? Amazing!

ActBlue donors can request refunds if they donated to Swalwell’s campaign. Pass it on.

Clean energy isn’t the future — it’s already here in Colorado. With renewables now powering more than 40% of our electricity, we’re proving what’s possible when we invest in wind, solar, and innovation instead of standing in the way. https://coloradosun.com/2026/04/10/colorado-renewable-energy/

"This was one of the big reasons that we all won....I want to thank Riley. She really has been in the forefront.” - Trump, February 2025

Folks, this is the single highest amount of money any Alaskan politician has ever raised in a single quarter

Oh my what a Schlapp in the face this is

This whole thing was a setup for TV and that any news organization takes this even remotely at face value is going to turn me into the Joker.

If any more awful men wish to file their resignation from Congress, for heaven’s sake, send them in. I’m quite at my leisure.

“Ty Cobb, a White House lawyer in Mr. Trump’s first term, told the journalist Jim Acosta that the president is ‘a man who is clearly insane’ and that his recent string of belligerent, middle-of-the-night social media posts ‘highlights the level of his insanity.’” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

"He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send him Matthew 5:9. That's the Chicago Pope way."

It's eye-crossing that a rapist can be forced to resign from Congress while this whole other rapist somehow remains in the Oval Office raving like a maniac

Ugh. This is the GOP's work.

Yet again, JD Vance thinks he can win a point through debate club tactics when that's beside the point.

"not just a concern voiced by the left, late-night comics or mental health professionals. It can be heard now among retired generals, diplomats and foreign officials. And most strikingly it can be heard now on the political right among onetime allies of the president" www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/u...

Gonzalez at the least but don't sleep on how badly Cory Mills deserves to be booted from Congress! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Remarkable, must-read story about how @mrs-frazzled.bsky.social and @cheyennehunt.bsky.social brought down the despicable Eric Swalwell. This didn't happen overnight. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Hey, look at Substack promoting Andrew Tate as the #1 new bestseller. The company's amoral leadership & backers will platform anyone, even ludicrously toxic rapists & human traffickers.

Imho the even more interesting part of the story is how his downfall was perpetuated by two influencers disappointed in the rumors THEY were hearing, and who wanted, for legal and other reasons, for journalists to deliver the killshot, and kept the heat on until the story was picked up and vetted.
