This whole thing was a setup for TV and that any news organization takes this even remotely at face value is going to turn me into the Joker.

Reporter: Why did you attack Pope Leo? Trump: I don’t think he’s doing a very good job. He likes crime I guess. We don’t like a pope who says it’s ok to have a nuclear weapon. We don’t want a pope that says crime is ok. I am not a fan of Pope Leo.

good day for resignations mr president

Even his cultists on Truth Social aren’t thrilled with this one from the demented megalomaniac.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Not voting for a single additional penny for this illegal war with Iran.

15 people have died in ICE custody JUST THIS YEAR. That is 1 death a week. Under this regime, 2026 is set to be the deadliest year for ICE detention EVER. The need for guardrails and meaningful oversight could not be more urgent.

An excellent briefing before the hugely consequential (also for the US) Hungarian elections. www.theunpopulist.net/p/if-orban-l...

One of my neighbors has a tree in their front yard that had a big limb nearly break off during the blizzard, and now even though it's cracked in half and lying on the ground, it's in a defiant full bloom. Same, tree. Same.

MacFarlane: There is this rare bipartisan coalition that formed in the Trump era over the Epstein files, where you had Republicans and Democrats actually working in concert to pressure him to do something. Could that be replicated over war powers? We're seeing early signs of that…

A friendly reminder that Article II Section 4 does NOT say that if you impeach and remove a POTUS, that the VP and the cabinet are also automatically impeached. This section simply lists all the positions subject to impeachment.

I can’t believe I woke up relieved today that we lost the war instead of mass murdering people

Summary (via a friend): They closed the strait again b/c war that isn’t a war that we already won has a ceasefire that isn’t a ceasefire that was just violated, now strait that’s completely open that will also open up naturally is closed but that’s fine we don’t need it also open the f---in strait

Oh 🫤

Garcia: I think that Trump has lost his mind. He's not capable of being the president and he should be removed using the 25th amendment immediately. I don't trust anything that that man or the people around him actually do. He has proven to be the most corrupt person to ever be president.

This is Chewy. He loves to help his grandma garden. She can’t kneel down to dig holes anymore, but that’s his favorite part, so they're a perfect team. 14/10 (TT: chewythenewfie)

Reporter: What was your understanding of what he meant when he said the civilization is going to be eliminated? Leavitt: It was not an empty threat by any means. The insinuation by anyone in this room that Iran somehow has the moral high ground over the United States of America is insulting

My friend @rokhanna.bsky.social is absolutely right. When the President of the United States threatens genocide against millions of innocent people, Democratic leadership should stand in clear moral opposition — not hide behind procedure.

OK, new rules: - I will have a positive attitude and take any good-faith questions and comments in stride. - I will freely, quickly, and eagerly block trolls, ne'er-do-wells, and bad-faith bullshit. - If you're not sure which pile your comment would land in, it's on you if you post it and I block.

Leavitt: "Iran has agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz" (Fox News just reported Iran is closing the strait!)

We're living through the doom loop once again.

🔥 @rokhanna.bsky.social to Democratic leadership: “Get out. Let a new generation lead. You’ve been ineffective. The base doesn’t like you. The base wants fighters.”

"What we have learned is that local resistance works when it is persistent, scrappy, and deeply informed. This... fight has been built on facts, records, legal pressure, public health evidence, and relentless visibility..." blog.hagerstownrapidresponse.com/p/rachel-mad...

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf says the U.S. has already violated key clauses of Iran’s 10-point framework before negotiations even begin — citing Lebanon ceasefire breaches, a drone incursion, and denial of enrichment rights. He calls talks “unreasonable” under current conditions. 1/

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.

October 13, 1925–April 8, 2013.

Cohen: They own all of this. Trump isn’t on the ballot in 2026. He’s not going to be on the ballot in 2028. But the rest of these Republicans will be. And they are just as responsible for what we’re seeing right now as Donald Trump is

HOWLING

“We can’t last 34 more months of what we’ve had happen over the last 14. He’s only going to get worse. He started a war that could tank the global economy without any end in sight and without any plan. We can’t survive this”

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

🤷🏼

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Greta Thunberg: "The President of the United States just said that a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again & no one is reacting. This speaks for itself: what the fuck is anyone even doing at this point? We have normalized genocide, total annihilation of entire people."

“it’s giving war crime”

“.. Strip away the shock value for a moment .. This is not a stray remark at a rally. Nor was it a misstatement quickly corrected by staff. This is a public declaration, .. during an active and escalating international crisis.” @thehill.com thehill.com/opinion/whit...

Georgia Voter: It's giving war crime. You can't do that. We don't just annihilate people because we can and, you know, make a grab for the money and the oil. And that's what we've done in Venezuela. And that's what we're doing in Iran.

The Moon: oh wow you guys decided to come back Artemis II crew: earth’s haunted

It’s TACO Tuesday!

🚨BREAKING: In his first press conference as acting attorney general, Todd Blanche said Tuesday that President Donald Trump has a “right” and “duty” to order the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate his political enemies. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Hollywood lied to you. This is what a terrorist looks like!

Todd Blanche is trying to turn political prosecutions into a routine matter. He is claiming it's Trump's duty to go after his enemies and purge the department of career lawyers. He is a dangerously good liar that we cannot underestimate.

Once again, Snake Plisken is on point.

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.
