In two weeks, Trump will deny ever hearing about Iran.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Annie Leibovitz photographing Meryl Streep and Anna Wintour together for the cover of Vogue is peak something.

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

Trump may be running a bluff. What concerns me is that he probably doesn't know if he is or not.

If Trump carries through on his threat with the full extent of the military power with which the President of the United States is entrusted, the consequences will reverberate for centuries. The United States, its citizens and interests around the world will not be safe for a very long time.

Israel has a complete and unredacted set of the material contained in the "Epstein Files," don't they?,

"A whole civilization will die tonight.” The President of the United States posted this about Iran. I worked national security in that White House & in the Pentagon. You do not talk about war like this. Ever. It's Reckless. Dehumanizing. Dangerous. And innocent people will pay the price.

Look I don't care how you feel about Iran you must concede that their social media game is exceptional.

CO AG Weiser: The president, in a Truth Social post, said, “This merger between Nexstar and Tegna should be approved, period.” The DOJ ignored its established standards. They didn’t explain why—they just waved this right through. We’re going to be before a judge asking for a preliminary injunction

Beautiful day to fill the 100,000th pothole of the year.

In the real world, personalist rule doesn't fare well: -Trump fired Pam Bondi precisely because she *could not* successfully prosecute his enemies untethered from facts and law -Trump likes Hegseth's bloodlust, sadism, and medieval tattoos, but it isn't opening the Strait of Hormuz

This open threat of war crimes is pure sociopathic bloodlust and sadism but it's also another sign that he's failing and that he's in a fury about it.

Par for the course for these sick child rapists.... apnews.com/article/immi... immigrant suffered alleged sexual abuse during months in federal custody, family says

The terrorists that attacked Iran have just bombed one of the most elite scientific institutions in the Middle East, Iran’s Sharif University of Technology in the heart of Tehran. Not a military target, they are repeatedly going after schools and medical facilities just like in Palestine.

Donald Trump just posted a video of Somali people enjoying the Mall of America to the soundtrack of “Mad World” because he is a bigoted POS

Okay, I feel insane, but MTG has made a pretty reasonable post in the spirit of Easter

Haven't had time to fully research this, but thought I'd share what I ran across. F sHitler and his wars IMPEACH. REMOVE. PROSECUTE.

Soon to be appearing in midterm political ads for Democratic candidates nationwide. Thanks, Darnold. 🙏

This is absolutely fantastic. ht: @maddenifico.bsky.social

Think about this picture. Not to far from the truth.

Trump called me a "really bad person." A "radical." An "election stealing lawyer." I wear his scorn as a badge of honor. Democracy Docket is independent. No corporate owners or venture capitalists. It will never back down. Subscribe today → bit.ly/4qmEiFz

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.

The problem isn’t that two aircraft were shot down. The problem is that we aren’t psychologically or politically prepared to suffer any losses, because this entire war has been sold as a video game set on “easy” and not as a cause worth sacrifice.

I don’t think the White House understands the ethnic makeup of our armed services.

The obscenity of a budget that cuts the forest service to fund the re-opening of Alcatraz as a prison.

“They were going to come. It was going to be a big thing. We were going to go to the beach right after. All those plans had to go out the window because they said ICE would be here."

@democrats.org 👇 Not sure what you do but this seems apt.

This is the most delightful thing I’ve ever read

God has never teleported me to Waffle House.

"The warehouse currently has 4 toilets, 2 water fountains and an 800-gallon-per-day water allocation. "A facility housing 1,500 people would require roughly 200,000 gallons of water per day, according to local utility estimates... www.projectsaltbox.com/p/ice-approv...

"Under Bondi, in the first six months of Trump’s administration, DOJ quietly closed more than 23,000 criminal cases, abandoning hundreds of investigations into terrorism, white-collar crime, fraud, and drugs..." www.propublica.org/article/trum...

While we're worried about petrol prices & doctors are anxious about shortages of helium (required for MRI scans), the UN says record no.s of people worldwide could face acute hunger if the Hormuz Strait doesn't reopen soon as 1/3 of the global trade in raw materials for fertiliser passes through it.

Alcatraz? It's small, it's in terrible shape, there's no source of water on the island. RFK closed it because it was terribly expensive to operate. If anything, operating anything in the Bay Area has become far more expensive than it was in 1963.

Poland PM: 🇵🇱

He’s fine. Everything’s fine.

The thing is, he riffs; you can see it when his voice goes from monotone (because he has trouble reading and doesn't prepare) and then starts using his favorite phrases, like "no one's ever seen before" etc This was not one he should have riffed on.

Bribes usually are privately funded.

Trump has the crappiest speechwriting I've seen from a White House, but also, try to imagine trying to write a speech for that guy

He’s on his last legs. He’s being propped up to achieve the total destruction of our government, our alliances and our norms. My fear? J.D. is an asshole, but not a total idiot. People will celebrate Trump’s downfall & project onto Vance a future….he’s young, Usha is pregnant, etc.

A must read, if I do say so myself, from me and the great Madeleine Dean newrepublic.com/article/2084...

Was the point of Trump’s speech tonight to show the nation how badly he’s deteriorated with more slurred, low energy, incoherent, nonsensical rambling? If so, mission accomplished.

Right-wingers are whining about this now-deleted tweet from Rep. Susie Lee (D-NV), but she cooked with this one

This is great

Well, you knew there wouldn’t be books
