The founders believed that if a madman became president, members of Congress would serve the country’s interest and remove him from office. That seemed a reliable system to safeguard the republic. Boy, did they screw up.

The Iranian Embassy in South Africa weighs in:

Railroad workers in Mexico uncovered a ~1,000-year-old Toltec altar used for human sacrifice, with skulls and bones nearby. Finds suggest ritual offering and an elite palace setting, bringing new insight into the society’s structure and practices

This is so obviously bad, and I suspect the average American is completely oblivious to it.

Iran's Brig. Gen. Shekarchi: "We are waiting for their ground troops. We will create a killing field so brutal no one will enlist in the US army for generations. They will never dare invade even the weakest country again. They ran from their own bases and hid behind civilians [true]. We're ready."

PFEIFFER: “.. He waved the white flag on his war and his presidency. It’s possible we will look back on last night as the moment we knew Trump’s presidency was functionally over.” www.messageboxnews.com/p/trump-decl...

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Montana — yes, deep red Montana — has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United. No Supreme Court ruling or constitutional amendment needed. This is no joke. Here's how it works. www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1fP...

OHHHH MY… Planter…

Everyone needs to just keep repeating this, over and over. The politics of a case is NOT JUST ABOUT THAT CASE. There is a meta-game here too. This case is surely going to be used as cover for gutting the VRA. And too many pundits are going to fall for it.

This is absolutely devastating news. 💔💔💔

😂😂😂

The conservatives who call themselves "centrists" who expressed concerns about "cancel culture" in colleges should be talking about this stuff far more. Nationally admired Republican figures w/ direct access to WH and Congressional figures are calling for civil war and criminalizing the Democrats.

The U.S. just starting allowing ads for prescription drugs in 1997. We need to go back to a full ban on pharmaceutical drugs on TV, radio, and Internet ads. Read about the decision in 1997 here: www.latimes.com/archives/la-...

Term limits! End the age debate. Serve up to 3 terms (6 years) in the House and 2 terms (12 years) in the Senate. Lift up the next generation, then move on.

Ukraine sent 230 drone interceptor specials to the Gulf states last week. The Gulf states were so impressed with their technology and skills, they are now signing long term defense agreements. This means $$$ for Ukraine's defense industry!

"The way some of these other immigrants are getting treated in our country right now is a travesty and a disgrace... I think what’s going on in our country — what we’re doing to some of these amazing immigrants, is really unfortunate and it’s really sad." - Charles Barkley on CBS

"After No Kings, Indivisible, one of the lead organizers of the "No Kings" protest, is pivoting to building support for...May Day Strong. The May Day Strong coalition is calling for "No Work, No School, No Shopping" on May 1st." reporting by @mikeelk.bsky.social paydayreport.com/no-kings-org...

Levin: This is the largest protest in Minnesota history… The next major national action of this movement is not just gonna be another protest. On May 1st, across the country, we are saying no business as usual. No work, no school, no shopping.

How is this not shouted out on the news services every day or was I the only one not aware of this?

Trump is conceding defeat & Hormuz will remain closed for another fortnight. 13% of Australia’s fuel stations are already empty, Thailand is closing schools, people are walking on highways to get to work in the Philippines and they’re fighting in gas stations in India. Nightmare.

"GPT Military slam poetry" -Adam Mockler, referring to Kegsbreath speeches The perfect description.😂🤣

In a striking similarity to the last two wars, the latest war is based on disputed intelligence, imaginary weapons, and a dumb-as-shit Republican President who lacks the intellectual or emotional intelligence to seek any sort of diplomatic solution, or learn anything at all about history.

The Rothschild raid just got bigger. French prosecutors say diplomat Fabrice Aidan transferred UN Security Council briefings to Epstein. Epstein had access to classified international intelligence. This is no longer about money. This is about state secrets

TSA warns new airport screeners won’t be ready for World Cup because it takes four to six months to train transportation security officers (TSOs), any new hires will not be ready to work checkpoints until well after the 2026 FIFA World Cup, June 11 to July 19, 2026.

How do you fix a situation where a corrupt president can have his allies make bogus lawsuits against our own government, and then direct his corrupted "Justice Department" to settle and shell out taxpayer money to his corrupt friends? We need to start thinking about writing laws around this *now*.

According to the Cato Institute, The Trump administration is reportedly receiving millions of immigration applications, pocketing the hefty fees, and never processing the applications. It’s collected over $1 billion in fees so far. Where is the outcry over this fraud and abuse?

These old Beaches be MARCHIN’!!! Turn up and SING OUT!!! No Kings March 28, 2026. Share the message far and wide! #nokings

We heard this post made Donald Trump VERY angry! OOPS!

Sarah Huckabee Sanders pictured with Proud Boy convicted of Seditious Conspiracy. Be a real shame if everyone reposted this.

Donald Trump brought soon-to-be trillionaire Elon Musk on board to take a chainsaw to our Social Security system. DOGE didn’t make our government more “efficient”– it’s ensured billionaires can further sabotage and exploit our country’s workers. @vanhollen.senate.gov
