"All this time Putin had, and still has, a mole in all European and NATO official meetings. If the integrity of these meetings is to be maintained, it would be appropriate to ban Hungary from all of them. Every generation has a Kim Philby” theins.press/en/inv/29091...

“It will just open up naturally,” Trump says about the Strait of Hormuz. He also once said, at the beginning of the pandemic, that COVID would end by itself. "One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear"

F-ck the Republicans for making this possible.

OMG what a disaster this speech is.

Of course he should step down as soon as possible.

Trump has created an extraordinary global crisis, and it got worse tonight.

Light in the body. COVID will just disappear. Same magical thinking. bsky.app/profile/anne...

Impossible to understand where we are now. 100 percent incoherent. A crazy, old, addled guy just begging for someone to put him in a home. Hope Vance is getting ready.

Trump asked for plans to seize Iran’s uranium. Plans that would require dropping excavators into Iran to move earth, building a runway, and landing cargo planes (likely under fire) in hostile territory. We could probably do it, but holy shit what a dangerous mission.

So far, Trump is just lying about Obama’s nuclear deal. Not a word he said about the JCPOA is true

Trump says we’re going to keep hitting them hard for 2-3 week. Always 2-3 weeks

What a completely useless prime time address. Talked for 20 mins and didn’t say a damn thing

Whether its Artemis II or gas prices America has a lot of things that skyrocketed tonight

Really? My god

Nate Fischer “has called himself a Calvinist,” but “his ideology & investment portfolio are much closer to…[Christian] Dominionism…. ‘I think…we have a dominion mandate to fill the earth, to subdue it, to take dominion,’ Fischer said…” (Fischer co-founded New Founding—backed by Marc Andreessen.) 1/

Not the main point but did she just walk off the set of a remake of Caligula? What’s with that dress?

Never forget

Trump is like a bad birthday party magician trying to palm off "the regime changed" as "regime change." To the extent the regime changed, it got worse!

Trump is lying, of course. Regime change was one of many failed rationales for this war.

There is always a woman to blame for every one of Trump’s failures. That’s why they’re there. people.com/donald-trump...

This kind of explicit gutter racism goes beyond what Buckley would have been willing to publish in his pro-Jim Crow days

He sounds 106 years old.

WATCH: @chrislhayes.bsky.social reacts to Trump's prime-time address on the Iran war.

That was terrible speech in every conceivable way.

The guys always been a cheap gutter degenerate

We’re not even getting into weird ass shit like when he told importer countries in Asia to “grab and cherish” the strait of Hormuz like they’re assaulting some underaged beauty pageant contestant. Dude is seriously deranged.

He looked like a 9-year old forced to explain why he hit a baseball through the window when he was told not to play baseball in the yard.

Trump Mini-Speech: the Definitive Reax talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/trump...

The definitive reax:

The medical examiner in Buffalo has ruled that the death of a nearly blind man left alone by Border Patrol agents on a frigid night was a homicide, a finding that could lead to criminal charges.

I really just don't see any real plan to prevent gasoline prices from unnecessarily rising to $5/gal- I still hope it doesn't get there, but the lack of a plan... and diesel could hit $6... when will there be a plan?

Amy Coney Barret asks an extremely relevant question. Sauer/Trump's point is that birthright citizenship only counts for parents who have *allegiance* to the US. ACB points out that CAPTURED SLAVES.. had no "allegiance" to the US, and arguably wanted to escape. But their childrens were citizens.

Gorsuch: "Do we look at how domicle was understood in 1868, or how it's understood in the INA [immigration and naturalization act]" And Gorsuch seems to be arguing it has to be the INA. And if he stays on that point... we have Gorsuch.

Kagan: "You're using some pretty obscure sources to get to this." "obscure sources" is, apparently, Kagan's euphemism for FUCKING OPENLY RACISTS SOURCES WHO WERE DEVOUT WHITE SUPREMACISTS

My friend just said "Shorter Sotomayor: 'Daniel Webster called you a fucking idiot. Thoughts?'" That's the best description available for what's happening here. :)

Make raccoon bites fatal again! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/h...

Josh Marshall; gift link. Like Josh, I can prove that I was born here. My mother is on solid ground, since she is a naturalized citizen and thus has paperwork. But what about my Dad’s side of the family? talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-few...

I think he really believes that because we are a net oil exporter, the Strait being closed doesn’t affect us. 😬

Many More Should Have Also Been Prosecuted….

Stephen Miller: “Trump = peace.” Tulsi Gabbard: “A vote for Donald Trump is a vote to end wars, not start them.” JD Vance: “Trump's best foreign policy? Not starting any wars.” Donald Trump: "My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier." Liars.

Wait. There’s someone worse than Bondi?

the enemy gets a vote the enemy gets a vote the enemy gets a vote the enemy gets a vote the enemy gets a vote the enemy gets a vote the enemy gets a vote the enemy gets a vote the enemy gets a vote the enemy gets a vote the enemy gets a vote the enemy gets a vote the enemy gets a vote the enemy gets

Is it really a leak if the president has been going around saying this for years?

We are fighting wars so the American people get less. Literally what he said today.

The Buffalo Medical Examiner rules that the death of a legally blind elderly Burmese refugee dropped off by Border Patrol at a closed shop late at night in winter was a homicide. He died of a burst ulcer caused by severe stress brought on by dehydration and hypothermia.

BREAKING: Judge Leon finds Trump likely lacks the authority to build the ballroom, blocks Trump admin from building unless Congress actually gives that authority. "[N]o statute comes close to giving the President the authority he claims to have." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Goal of making Trump look like even more of a weak-kneed idiot accomplished
