If Republicans hate the CA and VA redistricting, they can thank the person responsible - Donald J. Trump. None of it would’ve been possible without his leadership on this issue.

The Straiter Whore-Moose ain't ever opening back up, thems the facts folks

If you think being anti-Netanyahu is antisemitism then you're fucking dumb as shit

VA redistricting passes, which should add 4 more Dem seats. Trump started the mid-decade redistricting effort by pushing Texas to do in June 2025 when many Republicans felt it could backfire on them. It has.

Trump threatens Iran with potentially "blowing up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!"

Trump to NCAA athletes at the White House: "Does anybody agree that men should be able to play in women's sports? Would you like to raise your hand? So far I have never found anybody. They say it's an 80/20 issue but I've never been able to find anybody, so I think it's maybe 100/0."

When I chose this silly name I thought it would make people laugh, I never expected it to confuse a vast subset of slack-jawed MAGA Republicans. I am NOT the actor Liam Neeson. Jesus you people are dumber than fucking landscaping rocks.

A 16-year-old boy has been charged with murder and aggravated sexual abuse in Florida in the death of his 18-year-old stepsister on a Carnival Cruise ship, the US Justice Department said Monday.

Trump is melting down on Truth Social tonight.

There's no meaningful distinction to be made between the Israeli settlers in the West Bank who burn, pillage, and murder at will—in fact, actively promoted, aided, and defended by Trump pal Benjamin Netanyahu—and ISIS. Genocidal religious terrorists both.

Too late dipshit. The coming civil war is on you. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Wouldn't it be ironic if the shit hit the fan on 6/6/26? Hmmm

Reuters/Ipsos poll: Just 36% of Americans approve of Trump's job performance Only 26% said they consider Trump "even-tempered" 51% of Americans - including 14% of Republicans, 54% of independents and 85% of Democrats - said Trump's mental sharpness had gotten "worse" over the past year

Fun Fact: Morgan Stanley said we got about three months before oil reaches $200 a barrel. Are you prepared for that? Probably not. You need 3 months worth of rice, beans, and water (and something to cook with). Also buy a $25 set of wide band radios on Amazon. Two-way comms. Stay frosty.

I’m shocked. www.texastribune.org/2026/04/21/t...

This is the calm before the storm.

Just curious—does this mean we're going to start investigating *all* assassinations (and attempted assassinations) of influential public figures to determine if foreign entities were involved in conducting or staging them? That would be an... interesting... project.

To be fair, it is Taco Tuesday. 🥴

HIRONO: The rising prices of energy -- is that something you didn't contemplate happening before the president declared his illegal war? CHRIS WRIGHT: No. We knew exactly what would happen HIRONO: It doesn't seem like it, because the president doesn't understand how to open the strait

GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony? WARSH: That is, senator. GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.

CHRIS WRIGHT: Energy prices are still well lower than they were in middle of the Biden adminis-- CANTWELL: I want to stop you right there. There is nobody in the Northwest who thinks that. Not when they wake up & airline flights are being canceled because of high fuel costs. No one thinks it's okay

The most fundamental disconnect between MAGA and everyone else is that we believe everything Trump does is about promoting, enriching and empowering himself because he’s a greedy malignant narcissist, and they believe he actually cares about other people and is primarily motivated by that.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization founded to promote racial justice in the South, said it is facing a Justice Department investigation including possible criminal charges over its past use of paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups.

Ohio State University detailed an “inappropriate relationship” that led the university’s former president, Walter Carter Jr., to resign last month. The report, released on Tuesday, said he took trips with a podcaster and suggested that the university hire her.

Florida’s attorney general opened an investigation into OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT advised the man accused of killing two people in a shooting at Florida State University last year which ammunition to use and where and when to strike.

Breaking News: President Trump is said to be in talks to send Afghans who helped the U.S. war effort to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin: "What the Democrats need to do is explain to the American people why they want open border and why they don't want to deport these illegals that are truly running our cities and strait--- our, our, our streets. At some point they need to be held accountable."

But he had bone spurs so he was forced to miss it. bsky.app/profile/atru...

SORKIN: There's a whole number of very large companies, including Apple and Amazon, that have not sought reimbursements yet for the tariffs. From what I understand, part of the reason is they're worried about offending you. TRUMP: I think it's brilliant. They got to know me very well. I'm honored.

Trump: "I'd love somebody to buy Spirit Airlines. Maybe the federal government should help that one out. I told my people."

Trump: "I have to be careful because if I do trip or fall, it's gonna be the biggest story. That's why when I get out of those planes, I walk nice and slowly. I'm not looking to set any speed records."

Trump on Saudi Arabia: "I think they're doing great. I spoke to him yesterday. They're fighting. They're helping us. The ones that aren't helping are NATO. We don't need them. We will never need them, actually."

Joe Kernen wraps up the interview with Trump after 40 minutes: "We could talk NATO, but I know you've, uh, obviously got a lot to do"

DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin refers to Democratic members of Congress as "kamikaze Democrats"

Trump: "Never allow the Traitor Democrats like Low IQ person Hakeem Jeffries, or Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, or totally corrupt Fake News Media such as phony & decaying Wall Street Journal, the Failing New York Times (Subscriptions way down!), or dying '60 Minutes,' to criticize Operation Midnight Hammer"

Trump on refunding proceeds from his illegal tariffs: "We're giving a lot of that money back to people that hate our country, so I'm not happy with the Supreme Court"

This Saturday may be the most embarrassing moment in the history of the White House press corps. I’ll be talking about this all week. Here are my thoughts today. Full show: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

From @caolanrob.bsky.social

1. Why is Mike Huckabee, the sitting U.S. Ambassador to Israel, involving himself in a dispute between Israel and Poland? This is outrageous. Huckabee is in Israel to represent the interests of the United States, not the State of Israel.

I love science!!!

What a debacle.

Trump blames Democrats for no Iran deal.

"Arizona U.S. Sens. Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego are urging the Trump administration to put a halt to two planned detention facilities in the state as opposition to them grows and questions continue to mount... "The two Senators have requested a response by May 1. azmirror.com/briefs/kelly...

CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks

Trump says he’s winning the war by a lot.

we've noticed and i'm glad he's getting help

How do you get fired from the Trump administration for having an affair with a subordinate and drinking on the job? We’ll have to ask Lori Chavez-DeRemer, because I thought it was a requirement.

Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power: “If the Democrats get additional seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”
