Pretty wild that one of the two parties decided that pretending someone who talks like this — dementia, general stupidity, whatever — is deserving of more reverential deference than anyone in American history

I also want to point out that there are entire levels of the government that you have never once had to think about because we had competent adults in charge and now, we don't and that is a huge part of why you're probably freaking out.

Oh

"No one man can terrorize a whole nation unless we are all his accomplices." Edward R. Murrow, who died on this day in 1965

OK and now we have information that the shooter was believed to be targeting admin officials. This is how this is supposed to work! Info comes out piece by piece and we don't assume. Graaaaagh. apnews.com/article/whit...

Not a novel observation but absolutely wild to see people post “BREAKING” followed by repeating information from elsewhere that they did not actually break.

I shit you not, Trump is posting about The Apprentice

The individuals referenced here are adjudicated terrorists. They were found guilty of conspiring to use force against their own government to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. A conservative, Trump-appointed judge applied terrorism enhancements to their sentences.

As someone with autism, I’m tired of hearing the same false “causes” over and over Tylenol, vaccines, you name it. #Autism isn’t a conspiracy or a mystery to scare people about. If you want to understand, start by listening to us.

As a devout Christian: it is more troubling to me that he oppresses the poor and has an ever-growing toll of war-dead that he is responsible for. I frankly couldn’t care less about his idolatry as the God he serves (Mammon) has been clear for some time.

Hegseth barely had the resume or temperament to be a small town councilor, and yet 50 senators + JD Vance confirmed him as the leader of a massive department with a nearly $1 trillion budget whose decisions can have grave consequences for millions of people here and around the world

This was the presser opening: "Formerly, press conferences worked in a way that the propaganda media asked questions that were written for them by govt... We will now give the floor to those Hungarian outlets who are still independent."

This your daily reminder Russia is terrorist state who invaded Ukraine for no reason and can end this war easily by just stopping bombing civilians in Ukraine , by releasing all the people they kidnapped and returning all the Ukrainian kids they stole for their Putinjugend

That he's pissed at right-wing crazies who've turned against him is less important than the fact the most powerful man in the world is manifestly insane.

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

New U.S. bargaining position has no mention of the strait, or proxies, or ballistic missiles. Basically the president is begging for a return to the Obama nuclear deal but with Iran adding a massive new revenue source.

Iran Deal by Obama: •0 Americans killed •0 Iranians killed •0 bombs dropped •$0 spent on war Iran Ceasefire by Trump: •15 American soldiers killed, ~700 injured •1900 Iranian civilians killed, 26,000 injured •$45 BILLION in taxpayer money wasted •18 countries bombed or involved in war 3/3

Let’s not forget that Donald Trump threatened to destroy an entire civilization. We move so quickly through our insane new cycles. But this outrage should be a keeper and not cast quickly to the side because Trump again decided not to make good on an absurd and extreme threat.

Come on then, and remove him.

In 4 weeks Trump has transformed Iran from a country where people poured into the streets to overthrow the regime into a country where people poured into the streets to stop America. Great work.

Makes you wonder why a group of senators and members of the house months ago felt the need to remind service members not to follow illegal orders. Here we are.

Sorry, America, but as a democracy we own the actions of our leader. We may despise Trump. But his actions are on us, will be associated with us by history and the world. Our democratic and institutional failures have put a genocidal monster on the world stage.

At least we made Kamala Harris feel bad by giving Bibi Netanyahu the American president he wanted. That's what really matters.

They oversaw a very important social media influence operation for the Kremlin, got caught, fled. And now they're not just back, they're guests at Donald & Melania Trump's Easter Egg Roll at the White House.

Based on what floated by in the livestream a few minutes ago, that jar of Nutella is now further away from Earth than any hazelnut-based chocolate product in history.

I don't want to deny bad intentions on the part of the Pentagon, but Good Friday is the only day of the year that Roman Catholics do not ever celebrate Mass. Ever.

You know you’re a good editor when you say “skill sets” like a board-certified brain genius instead of “skills” like a common sewer worker.

I'm sure the Gold Star families who lost loved ones in this Iran attack will be comforted by this.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

cleanup on aisle vp

No doubt Tulsi Gabbard is drafting her resignation letter as we speak.

I know this is becoming something of a mantra but it is really disheartening to be reminded constantly how many seemingly normal folks out there are just completely bereft of the most rudimentary degree of basic decency or moral sense.

Trump issued an EO aimed at increasing production of glyphosate, a chemical in weedkiller that has been linked to cancer. He’s also directed the rollback of environmental protections over our air, water, and how much pollution corporations can produce. “Make America Healthy Again.”

"The memorandum, seen by Reuters, does not specify any financial terms and says the project "shall be facilitated by the United States General Services Administration and by the Pakistan Ministry of Defence." What? www.reuters.com/world/asia-p...

I appreciate that the internet has made everyone into an amateur investigative journalist. But actual investigative work requires aggressively checking, double-checking, and trying to poke holes in your own work — not just rushing to publish because you want to believe it's true.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

that stage of society when school children share the bond of having endured the camps together

People often disparage the press — and we often get it wrong — but almost everything you know about this administration is not because pundits go on tv or social media and pontificate but because of relentless reporting from real journalists at institutions that give them resources to do so.

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

The agents appear dismissive of his constitutional concerns. "I'm not getting into the legality of everything," one agent responds tersely.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in MN: bsky.app/profile/bunn...

The people of Minnesota have paid an unthinkable price but they are beating these bastards.

What the Trump Admin is telling you. -Don't record ICE -Don't carry a gun around ICE -Don't ask ICE for a warrant. So that takes out the 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendments.

Our country was founded on resistance to a tyrant.

The people who'll tell you today's murder victim in Minnesota shouldn't have turned up to a protest carrying a gun are the same people who said Kyle Rittenhouse was perfectly entitled to do the same thing.

But this was okay…

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

I was one of Alex's nursing faculty at MCTC. This is simply devastating. He was a good student and I knew he'd be a good nurse. Im so sorry for you and his VA family. May his memory be a blessing and an example of what a nurse is.
