Donald Trump is trading stocks the right way. by Ezra Klein

Two officers who defended the Capitol against the Jan 6 rioters just sued to block Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund. Check out their standing argument, it's pretty interesting:

It’s VERY IMPORTANT that corporate media NOT frame this as a judicial settlement. Trump DROPPED the suit this morning. There is no lawsuit, and therefore, no settlement. you can’t settle a suit that doesn’t exist. This is just pure theft.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

The new cold war is being played out within our borders

Well damn! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/23/a...

Trump broke the Commandents, so Vance had to commit the Deadly Sins. Trump compared himself to Jesus, so Vance had to claim that he was better at theology than the pope. This is one sad weird heretical Oedipal thing.

Trump’s Erratic Behavior and Extreme Comments Revive Biden Mental Health Debate

Political blowback requires political will power. As in, adults within the party to say, "That is wrong. We don't speak like that. No one who speaks like that belongs in our party." -- but there aren't such adults within the GOP.

L'MAGA, c'est moi

@nytpitchbot.bsky.social because it's still open to debate...

uhhhh @danielbiss.bsky.social what’s going on here?

One of their finest:

while this is obviously good news, it also feels like an eerie omen to me, tbh!

Trump has no plan. This is a damning summary from The Economist’s Middle East Correspondent Gregg Carlstrom.

If Democrats fail to pin the ongoing -- and worsening -- crisis in health care on this administration, they do not deserve to win back control. This is such an easy message to win on!

Arsonist investigating if their gasoline and matches were responsible for burning down building.

guys. what if it happens while he's giving his big boy speech tomorrow?

i‘m using it for a column but i want to share here this line from lincoln on jefferson because it is applies to our situation as well. you can find it in his april 6, 1859 letter to henry l. pierce.

lmao

if this is so, which it is

here's hoping the fever is breaking

Personally I think this is too much money for Donald trumps untrained heavily armed militia

i'm sorry, but anything short of the complete abolishment of ICE isn't good enough

Chris Madel, a Minneapolis lawyer, says he's ending his Republican campaign for governor of Minnesota following the death of Alex Pretti. "I cannot support the national Republicans' stated retribution on the citizens of our state."

A coworker took this from her apartment. I haven't seen a crowd this size before. Maybe the first Women's March? But it was much much warmer that day. ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA!

As we get more reports of ICE thugs detaining Americans, it should be noted that Timothy Snyder made it crystal clear from the onset of ICE raids that NO ONE would be safe. People tell ICE: "I'm an American." They illegally detain us anyway. Bc WE already let them erode due process for immigrants.

i blame lead for the recklessness, but yeah

fucking monsters

new constitutional crisis just dropped (as if we weren't already aware of the constitutional violations. but the memo is proof the administration knows better, which makes them *more* culpable for justice... in some brighter, future day)

A little excerpt from this week's That's Marvelous newsletter. Maybe you'd like to read the whole thing here: www.thatsmarvelousnewsletter.com/167-frozen-w...

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

Hell of a thread. I see zero relevance tho. No idea why Mr. Everson would post it........ <cries, screams, throws up>

The question media should be asking: if Minneapolis only needs 600 police officers to perform all general law enforcement activities in the city, why did Trump send 3,000 federal agents to execute a statutorily and constitutionally *much* smaller task? Answer? He wanted a *war*.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

we need to normalize calling this what it is: chemical warfare. chemical agents like tear gas is BANNED in war.

I don't know if this would *help*, but it might be good to have the AMA, hospital systems, and/or insurers to come out with a statement -- publish it in the NYT, front page. Put it in financial terms (a flu-related hospital visit = $20k). Or death rates. This is all so, so stupid.

Ok, I couldn't stop thinking about this. Apologies to the literally dozens of people I've lifted from... I want to do a fully credited version, but I'm sitting here sobbing and, well, maybe you'll feel some release, too.

Authoritarians want you to despair, they want you to give up Trump is powerful, but only because a lot of people gave him that power. Giving up in advance is one of the worst things you can do.

Minneapolis.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

it's a small step, but i feel slightly better after sending some messages to my reps: whosmyrep.org?gad_source=1...

Please spread the word and join us. Vigil scheduled for 5:00 today at E. 34th Street and Portland Ave S. in Minneapolis for woman murdered by ICE agents.

Do not let the failures of prosecution post January 6th happen again. Every second you do not charge this person is a second the massive propaganda apparatus around the federal government will use to create a fog of lies to get him off. Arrest him immediately for killing an American citizen.

the video is out, there is no reason to not send local law enforcement to arrest the ice agent in question and yes i know they will refuse to hand them over and you treat that exactly how you would treat it under any other similar circumstance

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to ICE: "Get the fuck out of Minneapolis."

this is fucking outrageous what the FUCK

incredible
