TAP is the one of the most important publications in the United States, and you should read it every day like I do!

"If the execution of the law is going to be impeded, an ally who does it to make hell break loose for Trump will get a pass. A judge who inconveniences immigration agents... will bear the full weight, force and burden of the law." www.allrisenews.com/p/tonight-in...

A few days ago, Barry Ramey, a J6 participant, said on a Proud Boys-affiliated channel he hosts that "we worked so hard to infiltrate the No Kings protest from coast to coast," "our coordinated plan to fuck with No Kings from coast to coast went pretty well," & "we're gonna be out there again."

The richest 0.1 percent of the global population are hiding nearly $3 trillion in offshore accounts to evade taxes — more than the wealth held by the entire bottom half of humanity. It would take about $93 billion per year to eradicate extreme hunger by 2030. Taxing the rich is a global necessity.

The number of people who have died in ICE custody since Trump took office again is at least 52.

I don't watch or like streamers of any kind, and I don't know anything about Hasan beyond the constant stray bits of drama that get flung into my timeline. But I am extremely fucking tired of seeing pundits rend their garments over shit like this while the world burns. There are real problems.

My guess is that military personnel willing to do obvious war crimes abroad won't really mind shooting Americans.

For those keeping track, Pam Bondi is about to be out of compliance with not one but two lawful subpoenas if she fails to show up for a sworn deposition next week. Even after being fired, she's still legally obligated to show up. So we'll see her soon.

Coincidentally, the media latches on to the alleged failures of Democratic controlled cities with little discussion of cities run by Democrats who have seen dramatic reductions in crime (Chicago, Baltimore, and NYC to name a few).

if you want to promise stuff to voters in a way that persuades them to vote for you, steal a page from Trump's book and promise *something they can visualize.* That was the role of "The Wall" in 2016

SCOOP A DOJ lawyer told a judge in Rhode Island that voter rolls data the agency has collected from states was being kept separate, and no analysis was being done to identify voting irregularities. That wasn't true.... www.wired.com/story/doj-mi...

This Is Not Just a War on Iran. It Is a War on American Democracy. | "What appears to be taking shape is a deliberate, multi-front effort to construct the conditions under which electoral democracy in the US can be formally or informally suspended..."

Holy wars

Bondi's legacy is monumental....

Agree 100% . (Ron Fournier longtime AP bureau chief in DC.)

Infuriating and disgraceful. Trump and Markwayne Mullin, and for that matter the United States Congress, could stop this at any moment. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

These people are plain fucking stupid.

Good afternoon! Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates— 💰His net worth is up $1.9 billion, to $6.2 billion 💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million 💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million And Jared became a billionaire last year. Have a great day!

I've gotten so many people reaching out to me about this piece. It's been incredible to get such positive feedback but also to know public media still breaks through the noise.

Hey media-- Pam Bondi is not a victim -- she willingly carried out Trump's political agenda to prosecute his political enemies and undermine free and fair elections. Todd Blache is not shouldering a "burden" or "walking a tightrope." He is a willing accomplice. Language matters.

What will happen to the 82 USFS experimental forests around the country? Many sites have decades-long experiments that are tracking how forests are changed by timber harvesting practices and climate change. As I say here, “you can't just pick up an experimental forest site and move it to SLC.”

The obscenity of a budget that cuts the forest service to fund the re-opening of Alcatraz as a prison.

Huge, impactful, disastrous move by Trump being almost totally ignored or misreported by major news organizations: www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

“They’re destroying more than fifty research facilities across thirty-one states, labs that house decades of irreplaceable long-term science…And they’re replacing all of it — the offices, the scientists, the institutional knowledge, the professional independence — with fifteen political appointees”

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

This is outrageous. And personally depressing. People over 65 and those with chronic conditions will get sick and die. Just because the younger healthy people don't fear COVID anymore doesn't mean everyone else has nothing to fear. And just because MAHA is stupid and insane that should not happen.

LAPD released this statement today about the No Kings protest and said they will investigate any allegations or mistreatment of journalists by their officers. Looks like they're gonna be busy investigating themselves!

SCOTUS hears birthright citizenship arguments. Guess who performs as expected for Trump? anntelnaes.substack.com/p/scotus-hea...

Pam Bondi only got the job because when she was Florida's Attorney General, she took a bribe from Donald Trump to drop her investigation into Trump University. She was hired because Trump knew she was corrupt and would do his bidding. Pamela Jo *never* had any "integrity" to give up.

BREAKING: We're challenging President Trump's executive order that aims to restrict mail-in voting. Once again, the president is trying to seize power he doesn't have at the expense of our democracy.
