Drop your crime fighting Catholics

Donald Trump, a deeply religious Christian and all around godly person, just thought that explicitly religious iconography, the sort seen in many churches and Christian artwork, depicted a secular doctor. Yeah, that must be it. Phew, that feels better. The cognitive dissonance was getting painful.

Body camera video released Monday shows a St. Louis police officer shoot a 17-year-old in the back of the head as he fled, contradicting an earlier police statement that the teen pointed a gun at officers.

Hungarians "have had more than a taste of kleptocratic authoritarianism, demagoguery, and unrestrained political power. They have gorged themselves on Christian nationalism—and they have spit it out....They have chosen Europe; they have chosen democracy." www.thebulwark.com/p/maga-inter...

Trump makes a profane post threatening genocide on Easter, trashes the Pope for refusing to worship him, and posts a depiction of himself as Jesus healing the sick. The right-wing political pastors who promoted this scumbag fake Christian as someone chosen by God are charlatans.

Jared Kushner belongs in prison, not at a negotiating table, and I will vote for any candidate who uses him as a proxy for tackling elite impunity at a much larger scale.

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

Winning campaign slogan here if anyone wants it.

If leaders break the law and face no consequences, the law becomes meaningless. Accountability is not extremism. Impunity is. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW! #NeverAgainIsNow

Were Vance and his outgunned Iran-deal negotiators working for you and for peace, or for the next Polymarket trades, crypto deals, drone contracts or their stock portfolios I went deep on the kleptocrats getting rich off the war, and now prolonging it My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/iran...

Hungarians showing how to win big in an unfair election: organize AND protest AND vote AND demand profound change.

An anti-CRT movement targeted an accomplished educator — driving her out of two Georgia school districts. The mission began inside a golf community clubhouse on a Sunday afternoon, where parents were coached on how to land a Fox News appearance. (Published 2022)

Schubert's Hungarian Melody, played by Andras Schiff, who has been refusing to return to his native Hungary under Orban (out of principle, and also b/c pro-regime elements were threatening to break his hands if he returned). www.youtube.com/watch?v=zm39...

Magyar now polling third in the Iowa caucus.

We’re using the U.S. military to create volatility such that our president can engage in insider trading.

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

In his acceptance speech, Peter Magyar offered a preview of what we need from the next Dem POTUS: “No mercy, they will need to take responsibility for all their actions."

The U.S. desperately needs a massive anti-corruption movement.

Mathias Corvinus Collegium -which Orban used to fund Christian Right across Europe - has endowment worth *1% of Hungary’s GDP* This money has gone to Matt Goodwin, Frank Furedi, a Roger Scruton foundation run by Michael Gove + James Orr Magyar needs 2/3rd of seats to unpick this. Be huge if he can

Magyar calls on the figurehead head of state Tamás Sulyok, as well as all high justice officials and other high officials appointed by Fidesz to resign immediately or they will be removed by the new government. He also announces a constitutional reform and that Hungary is joining EPPO.

Magyar, closing his speach, now calling for accountability for those who turned on Hungarians. Refusing to be a country w/o consequences.

@democrats.org should pay attention to this

There's an ambulance market (I could stop there), private equity has rolled it up, and it's now delaying deliveries, tripling the cost for cities & creating shortages across the country. This is what happens as we shout about what podcasts politicians should go on

Absolutely vile: Trump just said on Fox that the threat to obliterate Iranian civilization was a good thing, because "it brought them to the table." We have to take this on frontally and directly. It's a lie, and the underlying idea it's premised on is even worse: newrepublic.com/article/2087...

Orban eating shit would be incredibly good news. That was the Epstein/Bannon/OG alt-right pet project for years and their model for how they want to gain permanent power. If they flip every lever there and still lose, there's real hope.

Like I said, everyone agrees on everything except who gets to win the war.

He really just can’t stand it that Iran thought of the toll-collecting grift before he did.

ICE were at the Harrisburg Airport (MDT) this morning.

If leaders abuse the rule of law to make themselves immune to it, so that they can undermine the rights of others with impunity, by what moral or philosophical argument are they entitled to its protections, once they lose power? By what grace should they be sorted by law instead of by other means?

Reup: One key sign that Trump's Fraud Task Force is about framing Dems is that he included Scott Brady on it, the guy who helped criminally frame Joe and Hunter Biden. emptywheel.net/2026/04/10/t...

Not great.

Say @robertgarcia.bsky.social? Now that Melania has stated clearly that she was not an Epstein victim, couldn't you (and @rokhanna.bsky.social and Massie) ask DOJ to unredact instances where they have redacted her name?

Judge gives federal government three weeks to turn over evidence from Renee Good’s killing bit.ly/4c6WtKc

How bad is the war in Iran going for Melania to bring up Epstein???

IDF officials told a closed Knesset briefing that Iran’s new leadership is “more extreme than its predecessor.” - i24 News

. The world: What the fuck is going on in Iran? Melania: I AM VERY NOT KNOWING JEFFREY EPSTEIN! .

DHS did the same earlier today. It was for exactly as vile and racist a reason as you can imagine; Breitbart’s “black crime” vertical as official government policy. They are terrible, terrible people. And they’re in control.

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war. This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does. It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

Donald Trump slung the body of his first wife under his golf course. RFK, Jr. exhumed the body of his wife from the family gravesite and slung it into an unmarked grave far away from the family. These men hate women, even the ones they pretended to love. ew.com/rfk-jr-moved...

If I were a deep pocketed asshole, I would demand all paperwork about Melania's "Einstein" visa, citing Epstein Transparency Act.

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

Donald Trump is using foreign steel to build his gold-encrusted ballroom. It's a slap in the face to every American steelworker. "America First" was always just a slogan to Trump.

The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.

Right now, we are witnessing a preview of what could happen in the USA this November. Hungary's opposition party, Tisza, is so far ahead in the polls that they are on track to win a supermajority in the parliament, spelling the end of Orban. The only way Orban can remain is to subvert the election.

In this South Dakota diner, Hormuz still means when a prostitute pretends to be a cow to satisfy Byron Noem's new fetish. But they do know this: Iran doesn't need to re-open shipping lanes if it pledges to ban DEI and trans athletes.

Emo Trump's in his fake friends era.

"There is no justification for threatening, not just a war crime... this is beyond that. What he was threatening would be categorized as a crime against humanity." Former Army JAG officer @davidfrenchjag.bsky.social talks to @timmiller.bsky.social about Trump’s threat to annihilate Iran.

This is an account close to the Iranian leadership. We are now seeing the shape of why Iran agreed so enthusiastically to this "ceasefire". They will control and toll the Strait for the first time. They keep their nuclear program. They keep their missiles. What a disaster.

This is a big misunderstanding. During this ceasefire I’m still allowed to kill you and your allies. You allow us gasoline so our country can continue operating. I am good at diplomacy and widely viewed as the serious one.
