Federal judges in Rhode Island have appointed a special counsel to investigate a Justice Department lawyer, local U.S. Attorney civil division head Kevin Bolan, for lying to, and subsequently about, a judge in that district.

From @washingtonpost.com, we’re not getting the real story on the Iran war from the Trump administration. Full details on Substack here: open.substack.com/pub/thefrank...

"Looking back now, it’s clear that the desire to undo the Civil Rights Era — and even restore the Confederacy to a place of honor — never disappeared. It was sometimes set to the side and reshaped, but they kept the fire burning with unwavering attention."

Massive trove of never-before-seen transcripts revealed in Trump's criminal case www.rawstory.com/trump-georgi...

published this morning and already aged like milk. when will legacy outlets stop falling for the "new tone" BS?

History will look at how a small number of rapacious and malicious plutocrats, with the full complicity of a thoroughly corrupt and intellectually bankrupt political party, caused the epic collapse of the greatest nation on the planet.

Pete Hegseth killed 3 more people in the Pacific Ocean without a trial today. Don’t worry, he uses AI for decision making.

Trump lashed out angrily at CBS News' Norah O'Donnell in an interview Sunday for quoting from the manifesto of the suspected gunman who tried to storm the White House Correspondents’ Dinner less than 24 hours earlier.

Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

"I'm not a rapist....I'm not a pedophile" Sure, Trump. Notice how he looks at the camera when he hears it. He was aware that the world is watching him and his answer. Given how he called O'Donnell a terrible person - it's true. 🧵

How does a company launched with government officials, funded largely with public money, and able to attract private investment mainly because of guaranteed government contracts, end up 42% owned by an investor who contributed less than 2% of the core capital? Looks like a $500B grift.

Elon Musk has used SpaceX as a kind of piggy bank over the last two decades, turning to the company as a financial tool to get loans and bolster his struggling companies, according to an examination by The New York Times. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/24/t...

#midterms Storm the ballot box. VOTE BLUE

ludicrous" and "out of date". Critics argue the ADF is using Farage and "free speech" as a "Trojan horse" to push their anti-abortion agenda into the UK.  So the British women will now have to ask permission and be told “No” when they want an abortion because they’ve been raped.

All new ‘On Democracy’ features Washington Post writer @joshrogin.bsky.social on the Iran War and the deeply suspicious oil futures trades occurring before major Trump announcements. It isn’t an Army soldier moving $760M in trades. Catch it on @meidastouch.com www.youtube.com/live/mHj1Ki4...

Is he hearing himself?

RFK Jr: "A Democratic senator claimed it's mathematically impossible to have a drug drop by 600%. I said, 'Well, if the drug was $100 and it raises to $600, that would be a 600% rise. If it drops from $600 to $100, that's a 600% savings.'" Trump: "Right"

Exactly the plan Trump has for America. Trump admires the autocratic brute Modi for a reason, and it is the same reason Elon Musk does: none of the three men have any identifiable principles.

Fans of President Donald Trump's MAGA movement melted down on Tuesday night after voters in Virginia approved a ballot measure to redraw the state's election map.

Steve Witkoff has visited Moscow seven times yet never traveled to Kyiv. For some reason, the Trump administration isn't playing its cards against Vladimir Putin.

"If [Trump] can't be impeached and removed—I mean he is literally the nightmare that the framers of the Constitution had in mind—If members of Congress can't carry out that obligation, then what's the point to Article I? What's the point to the whole Constitution? We might as well just give up."

A little late for that, Tucker.

Activists involved in the pro-Palestinian movement "pushed back against the suggestion that their coalition wasn’t responding to the Iran war with a similar level of organized activism compared to two years ago." Hmm.

These people are just pretending like Pakistan (the mediators) didn’t announce the same conditions as the Supreme National Security Council of Iran. It’s dishonest nonsense. Trump still hasn’t announced the “real” deal because he doesn’t want us to see he’s getting fleeced.

To my fellow CA voters: Let’s not hand the keys over to Republicans in November. But that starts in the June primary. Our economy is outperforming the entire country, and they’re still mad at the scoreboard. There’s work to do, but let’s not screw this up and let Republicans wreck our state.

Credit where credit is due: Congressional Democrats showed up during recess - they came back early - to introduce a war powers resolution. Republicans blocked it.

Good news for plutocrats.

Netanyahu and his ilk did this.

So the Trump administration is talking a lot about God *at the same time* that it's making war with the Pope. What's going on here? Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social:

Republicans block effort to halt Trump's war with Iran after 'civilization' threat House Democrats tried to force a vote on a war powers resolution during recess. Senate Democrats will launch a more serious attempt to rein in Trump next week.

Trump has really, seriously, frighteningly lost his mind open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

Jesus Has Risen!

lol. I don’t know who Alex Jones’ guest is, but it sounds like he’s been listening to the Daily Beans. Impeachment is easier than 25A, and we should just Truman Show his ass. 😂🤣 Fuck these dudes for not listening to us years ago.

Trump's black hand as photographed by Anna Moneymaker of Getty at his press conference on Monday

I really wish more people would stop humoring him and just stand there visibly thinking “when will this asshole go away” like the astronauts did.

And yes Tucker is a racist piece of shit which makes all of this so worse.

New episode with @therickwilson.bsky.social youtu.be/LVtMqJ56bfg?...

We had a 100-0 bipartisan deal in the Senate and the House blew it up because the Republicans who run Congress apparently don’t talk to each other and prefer chaos.

Magnificent No Kings protest sign in Ellsworth, Maine. 10/10.

A memorial at a No Kings protest for the schoolgirls that Donald Trump murdered in Iran. 😔
