The Trump Administration is abruptly closing two USDA childcare centers for federal workers, giving families less than three months to make new arrangements for their kids. If this administration is so “pro-family,” then USDA should immediately reverse this action.

What you see in the Sun, is the Chicago skyline from the Indiana Dunes beach, across Lake Michigan. You can see it from 50 miles of distance due to a form of superior mirage, because the skyline is seen above where it's actually located. [📷 wesskywalker]

No one went to prison over the Epstein files, but the guy who released the files got voted out?

"stupid on stilts" "tyranny" "absurd" That's what Republican Senator Thom Tillis calls the new Trump DOJ $1.8B slush fund. Now what’s stopping the rest of the GOP?

This New Yorker cartoon is accurate but a gut punch.

❤️‍🩹The reunion of two loyal friends after a long separation – a Ukrainian soldier and his dog. First, the dog seemed to scold him for being away so long. Then it started hugging him. I’m not crying. Something just got in my eye.

I miss having a President of the United States.

A lot of people are talking about the $1.8 billion slush fund as though it's going to Jan 6ers. Is this established somewhere? I would imagine it's more likely to go to Trump's family and allies who claim that criminal probes/sentences were political.

America's chief Middle East negotiator - Jared Kushner - is almost completely dependent on Middle East government investment in his chief business. It's probably the biggest conflict of interest in American diplomatic history and we should be talking about this way more.

National outlets beginning to realize how authoritarian Tennessee has become under Speaker Sexton and this Republican supermajority

rare moment of absolute honesty from Trump He doesn’t care about the struggles of everyday Americans.

Mother's Day can be bittersweet for those whose mothers suddenly fell down a high flight of stairs after her past allegations of rape surfaced while her ex-husband was facing a new rape trial. May those moms rest in peace on their ex-husbands' golf courses. by Ivanka, Eric, & Donald Trump, Jr.

Gas prices: record seasonal high Beef prices: record high Farmers: bankruptcies up 46%, can’t get fertilizer Foreclosure rates: 6 year high Epstein pedos: still being protected MAGA: at least we owns the libs.

In the same way Donald Trump publicly asked Russia and China to interfere for him in two elections, he told his GOP minions to rig the 2026 midterms. Now they have. Obviously all of us still *must* vote. But we also need to ask ourselves how we will react if this rigging works.

Texas eliminated 5 Democratic seats with no voter approval. Louisiana suspended election with no voter approval. Tennessee erased last majority-Black district with no voter approval. But VA Supreme Court blocks redistricting map approved by 3 million voters www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Sen. Mark Kelly: "If you say something that the president or this administration does not like, they're going to come after you. The president is trying to silence us, and I can't think of anything that's more un-American."

ICYMI — After Republicans stripped majority-Black Memphis of representation, this was @brotherjones.bsky.social in the rotunda. Damn. (From NC5)

Trump is trying to end black political representation in Congress because he's an old-school racist.

BREAKING: Nearly $920 million in crude oil shorts were placed at 3:40 AM ET, about 70 minutes before Axios reported the U.S. and Iran were nearing a “14-point” deal to end the war. Oil then plunged more than 12%, with the position gaining an estimated $125 million. Unusual.

Not a great sign that President Trump’s judicial nominees seem incapable of stating that President Trump is ineligible to run for a third term.

There’s literally always a tweet.

Gas prices hit a new national high this morning. I don’t know what planet Tim Scott is on, but you can’t BS your way through people’s price struggles.

Ossoff: "When you throw people off their health insurance and drive up their premiums and gut the Medicaid program in order to cut taxes for the wealthiest people in the country, that's also corruption. That's the corruption that's endemic in our political system and predates Trump."

Democratic Senator Chris Murphy on Donald Trump's war in Iran: "We shouldn't sugar coat or normalize this degree of gross, unacceptable incompetence being exercised here. We essentially have a talk show host and a couple real estate developers who are in charge of our war strategy." Spot on!

Republicans right now:

This is an A+ map

They think you're stupid.

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself. Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

A reminder while Republicans bitch about Dems finishing the redistricting fight they started: they have full control of gov’t— they can pass a law banning gerrymandering any time they want. They won’t. Republicans aren’t mad gerrymandering exists; they’re mad that they’re not the only ones using it.

Texas redistricts without a vote, Republicans cheer. Dems in Virginia respond by putting it UP FOR A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE, it passes, Republican cry foul. Oh well. Good job Virginia!!

You gotta give to the GOP. They trained their voters to hate “libs” so much they would gratefully accept every manner of corruption, lawlessness, cruelty, ineptitude, and criminality, and cheer it on, so long as it is their team doing it.

Secretary Hegseth has become emblematic of how incompetent this administration is.

A+++++ post

4 shipped made it through the Strait of Hormuz today. Iran still controls their uranium and over half their ballistic missiles. But hey, at least a bunch of Trump’s close friends made bank making anonymous bets on Polymarket!

The illegal war, the masked federal thugs lawlessly roaming our streets, the tariff chaos, job growth stalling, inflation rising, the public corruption, the stupidity, the cruelty, the Epstein files coverup, the price increases…it ain’t just the war. Republicans were fucked well before this war.

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.

TL;DR: we killed a bunch of people and blew up a bunch of stuff, all to end up in a worse position than we were in with Obama’s nuclear deal. (4/4)

"Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of our rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward"
