They've lost their minds.

an oligarchy virus “was embedded in America’s economic DNA... waiting for the appropriate conditions to reveal itself,” “And then we created those conditions, unleashing it to infect our institutions... and democracy, replicate, and burst forth to infect anew.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

When listing Target Corp‘s many failures over the last 2 years, please don’t forget that here in Minnesota, home to their effin’ HQ, they allowed 🧊 to hunt their own employees in their stores and stage their terror attacks on the surrounding neighborhoods from Target parking lots.😡

The wealthiest and most powerful men on Earth have decided they will happily kill us all, whether with nukes or starvation or disease, to keep from facing the consequences of their lifetimes of crime The Epstein scandal, the warmongering, the worship of money, we're sick of it all Time for change

"The broad erosion in support is now threatening MAGA's foundation. "A new CBS News/YouGov poll found Trump's approval among white voters without college degrees—the backbone of his movement—has swung from +36 early in his term to underwater at -4, a 40-point collapse."

AOC: Whether it’s people in the Epstein files still roaming free, or the president, a known rapist, continuing to occupy the White House, all of this has contributed to the normalization and the idea that incidents of harassment shouldn’t matter. And I think today was an important turning point

Another J6 patriot pardoned by President Trump will plead guilty in a separate case involving child exploitation of multiple victims, according to federal court records. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

BREAKING NEWS: Erika Kirk has canceled her Georgia TPUSA event appearance over serious threats of not making enough cash.

Candace banging on JD’s crowd size — and not buying Erika Kirk’s excuse for no-showing, pointing out if security was really the issue the Vice President of the United States would’ve also canceled

The DOJ just asked a federal appeals court to throw out the convictions of 12 Proud Boys and Oath Keepers members who were found guilty of crimes connected to the January 6th attack on the Capitol.

Sen. Warnock is right: Republicans found $200 billion for a war in Iran overnight. But for 25 million uninsured Americans? Nothing. No urgency. No bill. No vote. They fund what they value. And they just told you exactly what that is. #USDemocracy #MomSky #HealthcareNotTrumpsWar

IMPORTANT: Under federal law, it's very hard, at times near-impossible, to sue federal law enforcement officers for civil rights violations. But legal theorists have said for decades that there is a possible way to sue under state law instead. This is a VERY big test case.

Trump: 2/6-“They want to make a deal badly 3/2-“They want to make a deal badly 3/16-“They want to make a deal badly 3/24-“They want to make a deal badly 3/25-“They want to make a deal badly 4/1-“They want to make a deal badly 4-13-“They want to make a deal badly 4/14-“They want to make a deal badly

NEWS: Huge first win for Mayor Mamdani’s tax-the-rich plans in NYC. Mamdani just secured a deal with Gov. Hochul to create the state’s first-ever tax on $5 million+ second homes owned by ultrawealthy out-of-state residents.

In case anyone is still confused

Today, Pamela Jo Bondi, our most recent head of the Department of Justice, is blithely ignoring a valid, legal subpoena requiring her to testify before Congress. We are not a nation of laws. We are a nation of some people can get away with anything.

Peter Ticktin — a longtime Trump ally and attorney for convicted election denier Tina Peters — has publicly declared his bid to serve as attorney general with an agenda that reads like a greatest hits collection of election conspiracy theories. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Huge turnout today for JD Vance and Erika Kirk.

The Constitution and a court order both say that the Everglades detention facility must allow people access to their attorneys. Instead of complying, guards are cutting off people’s phone access and beating people who speak up.

It makes me nostalgic to see politicians retire in the face of sexual assault claims instead of running for President.

Republicans just decided they don't want to hear how badly the war is going until May 19. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/13/w...

I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

📊A new poll shows: 🔺49% of Americans worry Trump will seize ballots in this year’s midterms. 🔺A majority think the president shouldn’t cancel or “redo” the election. And these worries are not hypothetical — it’s already unfolding in real time. https://bit.ly/4tGSZp3

Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen absolutely demolished Donald Trump on Iran: "He said we won the other day. So what the hell are we still doing there if we won? Now the reality is, we didn't win, and the president is lying to the American people." Nailed it! 🍿

Wooooooboyyyyyy! Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen continues going off on Donald Trump for attacking Pope Leo and cosplaying as Jesus: "This is a deranged man. This is a man that should have no connection to being commander-in-chief." 🍿

Not for nothing, but back in 2020, I said Jon Ossoff was a better Senate candidate than Cal Cunningham. Some Democrats got mad at me about it BUT I WAS RIGHT! Now Ossoff is kicking Republicans' ass in Georgia. #GASen www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

"And the worst thing about it is American credibility, not just in dealing with the Iranian regime, but to the entire world—basically we show that Trump is incompetent, he is capricious, he's completely erratic, and he's basically psychotic. He … has no conception of reality."

Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock on Donald Trump's "war crime" post on Easter: "He is a warmonger president...He is failing. He is throwing things hoping that they will stick...He is unhinged." Spot on!

everyone involved in the dismantling of USAID should be forced to spend their lives watching graphic videos of what they have subjected people to in their callousness, clockwork orange style

Maddow: "Amid all of this insanity it may be a good time to remember that this kind of desperation from the White House and from the president is palpably driven by fear."

“And when Iran refused Donald’s demand to stop shutting down traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, Donald got back at them by shutting down traffic in the Strait of Hormuz himself!”

Trump is touting the no tax on tips provision in his budget bill. But many tipped workers won't benefit because their earnings are so low. And the provision expires in 2028. The estate tax cuts that primarily benefit the rich? Those were made permanent. Funny how that works.

Election deniers, liars and crooks are working overtime to try and thwart the midterms by having Trump EO a ban on mail-in ballots and voting machines. While this summit took place in mid February, these Trump loyalists haven’t stopped plotting and planning. www.propublica.org/article/elec...

Democratic Senator Raphael Warnock on passing a war powers resolution: "We are calling on our Republican colleagues to stand up and do their job. The American people are clear, they do not want this war, and it's up to us to hold this unhinged, unaccountable president accountable."

“The Pope is weak on crime” says the man who has pardoned hundreds upon hundreds of criminals, and has spent his entire life evading accountability for all of his own crimes.

"Every person that's there, someone's getting paid." Rep. Adelita Grijalva tells Rachel Maddow about a woman she met while inspecting an ICE immigrant prison who was meant to be deported weeks ago but inexplicably remains locked up.

Shamelessness is the GOP superpower. Having principles and standing up for them is not.

Despite his brashness, Donald Trump has built a habit of taking back some of his most obscene social media posts. Lucky for you, we've got the receipts.

JD Vance is supposedly a Catholic who believes the pope is infallible on matters of faith and morals. The pope says the Trump-Vance conduct of the war is immoral. Vance’s rejection of the pope’s words raises the question of whether the VP is worshipping his faith or his ambition.

Senator Cory Booker is getting heated: "If we allow this as a Congress, this is the new standard. Donald Trump can wage war on Cuba next, for 30-60 days, before having to consult Congress. Donald Trump could invade Greenland. These are not hypotheticals... 🧵

Senator Andy Kim on being refused a briefing on Donald Trump's war in Iran: "They said no, and they're not just saying no to me. They're saying no to the people of New Jersey. They're saying no to the American people, that we don't deserve to know what is happening in this war waged in our name."

Maddow on what keeps despots in power and why they fall apart: "Nobody actually likes a corrupt despot. They all just support him because they think he's going to be in power forever so you need to stay on his right side in order to get anything for yourself."

Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin: "This president is out of control, and Americans are paying the price...This week, we will force the Senate to debate and vote on a war powers resolution, and until this president is reined in, we will continue to force these votes." Thank you! 👏

Should be part of his next test.

VOUCHER SCAM: “Welfare for the wealthy. We just gave $300 MILLION for private school vouchers.” MEMPHIS Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social on why he oppose the @WilliamLamberth @GovBillLee voucher expansion bill that passed the house tonight. (@repgillespie voted yes)

😂🥸😂

JD Vance is being named the most hated VP in modern history
