It figures that the dour Melania hates when Trump dances to Y.M.C.A. It's about the only fun thing he's ever done.

"I have some of the best poll numbers I’ve ever had.” — President Trump

New York Times: If you're gonna crib our headline, you could at least credit Nick Judin and the Mississippi Free Press for first reporting it 2 days earlier. I'm glad this story is getting national attention. But Nick puts a lot of himself in these stories, and deserves credit (just as we'd do).

Scott was the CEO of Columbia/HCA when it pleaded guilty to 14 corporate felonies and paid a total of $1.7 billion in fines to the United States government in 2000 and 2003, making it the largest healthcare fraud settlement in U.S. history at that time. Scott still made bank.

How about "exactly what the racist Supreme Court majority had in mind"?

Taegan Goddard asks a fair/somewhat unfair question. "What would the Founding Fathers think of a president who unilaterally imposed tariffs—without congressional approval—only to reverse course at the request of the King of England?"

AN ABSOLUTE FACT! #ResistTrump

Trump putting his face on U.S. passports is like Pol Pot releasing a new brand of eye wear.

democrats: we're waiting for our good friends the republicans to wake up and turn on trump republicans: we're indicting james comey for an instagram pic and trying to get disney thrown off air cause jimmy kimmel talked shit about us

Camilla and Melania, 2 women who had premarital affairs with their current husbands while those men were still married to someone else. Twinsies!

Parliamentary parties are fundamentally different than the two American parties. The Democrats encompass all leftists who actually participate in a way that matters, but also all center-leftists and even some center-rights.

When he breaks below the Alan Keyes Constant of 27 percent, we should celebrate like it's a national centennial.

I'm sure Trump will keep this for himself.

King gifts Trump 1879 framed plans for the Resolute Desk

I love that. That's fantastic.

Back in about 2006 I did a piece predicting when Texas would turn blue based on demographic change, and I came up with 2028. Then, in '24, Latinos lurched right and I knew the forecast would fail. But it might still be true for other reasons. politicalwire.com/2026/04/28/j...

It’s not like Trump has sued CBS for 60 Minutes favorably editing a politician in an interview though, <holds finger to ear piece>

Some pretty crazy stuff that somehow didn’t make it on the air.

This whole presidency is just bouncing back and forth between murder and money laundering with occasional unholy mashups of the two

Am I strange to think that anyone who cares that the King of England is visiting is strange?

Wild that @stevemnomoremister.bsky.social and I both (completely independently, I think) wrote post-assassination attempt posts focused on Trump's narcissistic supply. Although mine was about the German chancellor, not the Nerd Prom incident. nomoremister.blogspot.com/2026/04/how-...

German Chancellor Piles On Trump's Iranian Shame open.substack.com/pub/martinlo...

German Chancellor Piles On Trump's Iranian Shame open.substack.com/pub/martinlo... Merz is playing with narcissistic fire, but maybe he has his reasons. (Free)

Every person that reached out to me today expressed casual certainty that this was a fake assassination attempt staged to help Trump is various ways: distraction, avoid a sundowning appearance, help ballroom, etc. Without comment on the merits of these theories, it shows he has no credibility left.
