The Ethicist | I am a White House official who is being blackmailed by my mistress. Would it be better to ask ICE to deport her or to do some insider trading on crude futures to get the money to pay her off?

While death and destruction rained down on Iran during the war’s first month, the world’s 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits. Yes, $30 million per HOUR. All because of the deadly and reckless decision making of one man.

Reminder that Trump and the GOP snuck a huge tax break into their Big Ugly Bill allowing private jet owners to write off the cost of their planes faster than before. Meanwhile, the Big Ugly Bill will kick millions of people off food assistance and healthcare programs. "Party of the working class."

Be great if people educated themselves on the difference between powers the federal government does and does not have. This idiotic suggestion that we turn voter registration over to the feds would be an extraordinarily stupid cession of power to a government in the hands of a psychopath.

I don’t think people around the world realize how bad the attack on Lebanon was today. It’s BAD. Like 9/11 BAD. Hospitals are overflowing and do not have enough blood. We still don’t know what the death toll is. This is TERRORISM. Pure and Simple. April 8. Never forget.

Why do Republicans tolerate this government? Because many of them no longer see democracy as the goal. They see democracy as an obstacle to: •permanent power •deregulation •privatization •culture war domination And authoritarian leaders like Orbán are useful because they validate the argument.

What is truly wearying is that 25-30 percent of our fellow citizens, braced with the attention span of sedated goldfish, are going to listen to today's soundbites from Trump and Hegseth about this astonishing debacle in Iran and say, "Welp, we won that war." Simply because they say so.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Evil continues when too many people think it's someone else's job to stop it. We're not lacking in information here. We're lacking in agency. We're here because people sat home instead of standing up to prevent a criminal tyrant from taking power. The 25th Amendment won't save us. It can't.

If this is real. If his thumbs actually typed what is below... Citizens. Senators. Cabinet. The President of the United States is out of control. He is beyond reason or amelioration. We might really, really, really, I'm trying not to shout or capitalize here, really want to address this.

We all know it’s true. Reputable statisticians agree it happened. There are lawsuits in Nevada & New York that continue to assert massive voter fraud. It’s just difficult for the story to get any traction on traitorous Legacy media...

As an American, there are always disappointments to register and arguments to engage; amid the chaos of our battered, monied attempt at self-governance, dissent is constant. But this feeling of being utterly ashamed of America and embarrassed to the core by its president is new, raw and unnerving.
