BREAKING WSJ: Trump has repeatedly promised his top administration officials pardons before he leaves office, according to people who have heard his comments. "I'll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval," Trump said in a recent meeting. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

“Repeatedly promised” sure sounds like he’s soliciting crimes.

“All the drama surrounding Zampolli’s custody battle with his estranged girlfriend didn’t connect any dots, at least not for me, until the First Lady’s speech yesterday” @jkbjournalist.bsky.social is on target 🎯 about the reason for Melania’s weird speech: jkbjournalist.substack.com/p/could-a-fo...

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

For me, the report this week from OECD on the global financial costs of Long Covid is a smoking gun. This isn’t about “the next pandemic.” It’s about the fact that the economic ruin we’re all racing toward and #LongCovid are the same thing. I explain why here: www.patreon.com/posts/covid-...

Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?

The US can automatically register men to go to war but can’t register them to vote. They can afford billions on war but can’t give their citizens healthcare, housing, childcare or food assistance. War is profitable. People are cannon fodder. It’s exactly how the ruling class wants it.

OMG. Foo Fighters are fools. @jonathanstea.bsky.social medium.com/the-monthly/...

This ceasefire doesn’t cancel out the fact that Donald Trump threatened a genocide of 93 million people in Iran. Republicans need to abandon their blind loyalty to the President and work with us to hold him accountable – whether it’s through impeachment or the 25th Amendment.

Sharp Rise Noted In Conditions That Inspire Limited Medical Enthusiasm

What the president is doing is batshit crazy.

If you havent seen this, make sure you read.

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

Feeling under the weather and taking meds to help you get through the day? Many medications can help relieve your symptoms, but this doesn’t mean you can’t still spread your illness to others! Continue to stay away from others as much as possible and wear masks if you have to go out.

Israeli aircraft reportedly sprayed glyphosate over border farmlands in southern Lebanon & Syria’s Quneitra in Jan–Feb ‘26. Lebanese tests & UNIFIL samples found concentrations 20–30x above normal, killing crops. Israel said it is to deny militants cover. UN warned of humanitarian/environmental harm

Uruguay generates nearly 43% of its electricity from wind and solar. In 2010, the share was less than 1%. Most of the rest if hydro. Today, Uruguay produces nearly 99% of its electricity from renewable sources. More here www.forbes.com/sites/kensil...

Wonder what this is going to be about?

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

"No one should be taking medical advice from some dude who looks like an overly frizzy John Oates."

Nothing Is Wrong, But The Things That Are Wrong Were Not Caused By That.

“A legitimate misunderstanding” JD Vance says Iran thought Lebanon was included in the ceasefire but 🇺🇸 “never indicated that would be the case” Yet Pakistan’s PM EXPLICITLY said it was👇🏽🤔 A deadly circus🎪 — as Israel rains hell on Lebanon. (H/T @atrupar.com )

ICYMI: @healthydebate.bsky.social has kindly republished a version of a co-authored article (with @dickzoutman.bsky.social and @smbilodeau.bsky.social (thanks sirs!)).

“It shows that the costs of Covid-19 did not end with the acute phase of the pandemic: the virus continues, and will continue, to weigh on societies and economies for years to come.” Financial Times 4/8/26

this was a bad idea from people that are unbelievably high off their own supply

Eastern N. America folks, it's just about go time for the start of the ~3 week peak migration (unless you're on the Gulf Coast, in which case it is go time NOW). Expect waves of incredible birds for the next month and a half Turn those overnight lights off to protect them! [stolen from local news]

But Hillary Clinton who had nothing to do with any of it couldn’t ignore a subpoena?

Rep Robert Garcia (D-CA): “Our bipartisan subpoena is to Pam Bondi, whether she is the Attorney General or not. She must come in to testify immediately, and if she defies the subpoena, we will begin contempt charges in the Congress”

Welp.

Trump lost this war in every possible sense — morally, legally, politically, economically, reputationally, and strategically.

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

Art of the deal 🙄

Certainly does seem like trump trying to give himself an "out," so he can save face and manipulate the markets again.

*many people are saying* it sure looks like the White House wrote this for Pakistan’s PM, who posted it then quickly deleted the top part 😬

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

New Iran thread. Starting with a Lest We Forget: Hillary Clinton, 9 years ago: “This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes – because it’s not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.”

It’s crazy that the vice president openly intervening in a foreign election for the candidate backed by Russia ranks a distant second in insane things happening today.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

I've now seen several posts from Democratic US Senators and House Reps calling for Congress to return to DC, and my only reaction to seeing these is: Do it. Just get on a plane and go back to DC. The House is in Recess, not adjourned. There was a pro forma session today. Go. Lead by example.

For the second time this spring, the FDA has redacted key details in its published investigation of bacterial food contamination. This one involves salmonella in mangoes and the agency carefully blanked out the name of the importer and distributors. The earlier report (1/3)

Donald Trump is unfit to serve as the leader of the free world. That's why I have cosponsored H. Res. 939 Articles of Impeachment to remove him from office.

The Conversation: "Almost 200,000 New Zealanders are now living with long COVID – where is the government plan?" 'New Zealand must take long COVID seriously' theconversation.com/almost-200-0...

90% of people who get long covid (see post below) had only seemingly mild symptoms. Everyone is at risk. It’s also airborne! We must start preventing or every wave we will have a mountain more chronically ill. The messaging shouldn’t be ‘its no more serious than the last infection’ listen, does 🧵

This is absolutely insane and 25th amendment grounds in and of itself

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...

Sickeningly evil. Donald Trump must be impeached.  When will it be enough for my Republican colleagues to grow spines and remove him from office?

The president is so deeply unfit for office—mentally unstable, deranged, criminal, and thuggish. He must be removed. There’s no middle ground on this. There’s no containing it. He has to go.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” -Trump Article III The following acts shall be punishable: (a) Genocide; (b) Conspiracy to commit genocide; (c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide; (d) Attempt to commit genocide; (e) Complicity in genocide.
