@huffpost.com editor in chief @wps.bsky.social on Trump and the White House Correspondents Dinner: "The idea of raising a glass to the power of journalism with him is at once ridiculous and embarrassing. Count us out." www.huffpost.com/entry/a-line...

Let's not forget why this White House, especially Stephen Miller, hates SPLC. It helped expose Miller as connected and collaborating with white supremacists in the media to spread the white supremacism he learned from the internet.

They have no fear of saying the quiet part out loud. Why should they? There have been zero consequences for anything or anyone in this corrupt, dumpster fire of an administration.

"the weaponization work." Holy crap.

Very relatable, right?

Isn't it time some men got kicked off Team Trump? How about a 3 for 3 deal -- Hegseth, Kennedy, Patel to match Noem, Bondi, Chavez-Deremer.

This is your fault, Martha’s Vineyard dinner party hosts. If only you had been as nice as the people on Epstein Island, this poor beleaguered man would still be cited on Fox News as “even liberal Alan Dershowitz.” But not anymore. You just had to take it too far.

Sure, JD Vance might be president sooner rather than later if, one way or another, Trump leaves office before January 2029. But even if he's an incumbent by 2028, could he win? Here's my factual, evidence-based conclusion at @contrariannews.org: Forget it. www.contrariannews.org/p/jd-vance-c...

Good morning. I am waking up to these @gelliottmorris.com headlines on Virginia redistricting Election Day: Trump approval falls to record low 35%, Democrats lead by 7 on the generic ballot, and a majority says the Iran war is not worth the cost. open.substack.com/pub/gelliott...

The road to the presidency isn't as clear for JD Vance as he thinks — and here's why:

I think this is the poll: www.politico.com/f/?id=000001... It looks like almost all of Swalwell’s support went to Becerra.

This is … very interesting. #CAgov

🚨 MAJOR BREAKING NEWS🚨 The Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania strikes down a law restricting Medicaid from funding abortion, and in doing so recognizes a "reproductive autonomy" as a fundamental right in the state constitution. www.inquirer.com/news/pennsyl...

It's probably foolish to predict 2028, but history and the facts suggest Vance is doomed. Previous VPs in WH races were dealing with 1 or 2 carry-on bags — not Trump’s enormous cargo-hold of scandals and screw-ups. My latest, at @thecontrarian.bsky.social www.contrariannews.org/p/jd-vance-c...

Everything the Ellison family could own if Paramount buys Warner Bros: Paramount+ CBS CNN Showtime HBO Warner Bros TNT TBS MTV DC Studios Nickelodeon Comedy Central Cartoon Network And more... This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped. State AGs must step in and block it.

When I joined the Department of Justice it was a big deal to be offered a position as a federal prosecutor. Under the current administration, it’s an embarrassment. apnews.com/article/just...

Trump’s amazing peace deal is going well. A peace deal the likes of which nobody has ever seen. Best peace deal ever. Nobody thought it was possible.

It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.

NYT INVESTIGATION: As the Trump administration & Congress last year moved to repeal sanctions on Syria, the Qatar-based family that most stood to benefit was privately negotiating a real-estate partnership with Jared Kushner and proposing a Trump golf course in Syria www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/u...

Dear CNN, we do separate religion from our government. And as a major outlet, your job is to remind everyone exactly on that.

Perfect.

@thefarce.org asks and analyzes the disturbing question that's been on my mind for weeks now. It's why I tune out almost everything Trump says, I never expect any market rally to last more than a few days, and I don't see how this war ends anytime soon. thecause.substack.com/p/how-the-he...

This is valuable @wired.com reporting on prominent DOGE operatives and their fates. Where are they now? Some still inside our government, sadly for us. www.wired.com/story/where-...

Grimm and Grimmer: @dgraham.bsky.social has way too much fun coming up with Trump's "novel" takeaways from classic fairy tales. 😂 www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

no one will ever throw people under the bus like this guy, the best ever to do it

This is quite the barrage of "worst moments," and only the first two of seven hearings. Could RFK Jr. be heading into a Noem-Bondi situation? 🙏 www.protectourcare.org/lowlights-wo...

Can I just say how I excited I am that TMZ decided to cover DC?

We're going to miss him.

What problem does this solve? Would you like to burn down a rain forest with your coffee order?

"Maybe the perceptions of the war are colored very strongly by the impact it’s having on prices. But I also think the war is just filling the headlines with awful news and stuff that makes him just look like a preposterously ridiculous moron." PRM is the new TFG. 🙏 @gregsargent.bsky.social

I am following Musk’s money so much I captured this…

The key to democracy is showing up in large numbers

NEW on MS NOW: Rep. Jamie Raskin has introduced a bill that seeks to kickstart the removal of Trump through the 25th Amendment — a longshot effort that, while unlikely to succeed, aims to put renewed focus on the president's mental fitness and recent rhetoric.

Trump, Musk & Co. killed the beloved IRS "direct file" aid for taxpayers, and then — "You will never guess who also proposed an IRS app to help for Americans file their taxes." Follow Musk's $. Absolutely maddening, for #TaxDay, from @donmoyn.bsky.social. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/what-the-d...

Jamie Raskin just cornered the White House. He’s officially demanding Trump’s cognitive exam and a full list of his medications with their side effects. Checkmate in one letter. Read it here: 👇

This is great news. 😊

Congrats to Trump. He is ruining not just our economy but the entire global economy. Sharpest downgrade? UK. With friends like us ... www.theguardian.com/business/202...

This would be high comedy if we weren't living through slow-motion tragedy.

Our president may have finally done something awful enough to wake up the country. He has used AI to portray himself as the Savior. From David Mastio:

I wanna go be in Budapest. I need an emergency injection of this into my veins

I don't know, guys. The president started a war with no plan and crashed the world economy, is building immense monuments to himself, is making billions off the presidency, and is now attacking the Pope while presenting himself as Jesus. Maybe the political class should abandon the inside voice.

💥🇭🇺🗳️ BREAKING: Péter Magyar says Viktor Orbán called to concede and congratulate him. Magyar will be Hungary’s next prime minister and, as it stands, is set to secure a 2/3 supermajority – enough to fully dismantle Orbán’s system. A 16-year chapter is over.

Turnout in Hungary is sky-high, a bad sign for the ruling party. And so Balazs Orban, who was paid Western intellectuals to endorse Victor Orban, is already calling election fraud. Where are you Ilya Shapiro? Rod Dreher? Chris Rufo? Kevin Roberts? donmoynihan.substack.com/p/make-ameri...

"Sure, policy and message matters, but to me there’s a hugely important — and often overlooked — political lesson in the visuals from Artemis and Gracie Mansion too." I think @vermontgmg.bsky.social is really onto something here. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-j...

Chris Truax: "There is no question that President Trump is 100% responsible for a stunning victory in the Iran war. His actions will completely reconfigure the Persian Gulf for a generation. Unfortunately, there is also no question as to who won. Hint: It wasn’t the US." thehill.com/opinion/nati...
