WTAF?

There were two entities: America 250, a bipartisan organization chartered by Congress, and Freedom 250, a Trump-backed group. Companies intending to donate to America250 were supplied routing and account numbers that directed their funds to Freedom 250. wapo.st/4fe4Whs

It's still our country. If you were disgusted by the way Trump tried to make 250 about him, not about America, join me in planning a Celebrate Your Vote party for November. Let's make sure we keep the Republic. joycevance.substack.com/p/its-our-co...

For better or for worse, one photo can define an era.

"Iran may have control of the Straits of Hormuz. In 60 days, they may be able to restart their nuclear program. I'm highly dubious they're going to give that up," says David Brooks. "They had leadership that was willing to do whatever it took to win the war and we didn't." https://to.pbs.org/44kg329

Wait until 2015 Trump finds about 2026 Trump

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Iran we’re getting $300B and $24B in frozen assets unlocked. Trump no money is going to Iran. What a mess!

If this is true,: WTF?

🚨🚨

Josh Hokit just ended his post-fight speech at the White House UFC event by yelling "Michelle Obama is a man!" A disgraceful spectacle through and through

“The Southern stuff is pretty grotesque... It’s so undisguised.” @timmiller.bsky.social and @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social react to Republicans trying to redraw Black-held districts out of existence across the South, and what it means for Democrats’ path back to the House.

Louisiana's governor has declared a state of emergency, suspending the state’s congressional primary election – even though ballots have already been sent out. The decision is part of an effort to hastily gerrymander the state’s map following the Supreme Court ruling gutting the Voting Rights Act.

Since Trump is out here denying he is a rapist, a reminder that a judge said he absolutely was one

Things were so normal before he was allowed into politics…..

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations: Alphabet: 8.01% AT&T: 4.6% Meta: 3.57% General Motors: 3.09% Amazon: 1.37% Exxon Mobil: 1.31% Disney: -1.57% CVS Health: -3.88% Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like.

Too good not to share

This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job

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.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment. This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

An Easter message from the president which should really force the VP and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Tump says Putin explained NATO to him. Wow. That explains a lot

If you were wondering whether the President’s weekend bender helped or hurt the long-term interest of American business, futures markets just opened, and delivered their verdict.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

The death of a nearly blind refugee from Myanmar who was found on a Buffalo street in February — five days after Border Patrol agents left him at a doughnut shop — has been ruled a homicide, authorities said Wednesday. https://to.pbs.org/3NZGHsz

Handing out the Epstein files at CPAC. From @thegoodliars.bsky.social

I feel like a lot of ppl are missing the big picture here with ICE in airports. (1/3) The President is freely moving federal law enforcement officers—who have shown a willingness to engage in violent behavior with no meaningful accountability—around the country to solve his political problems.

What kind of person mortgages their soul like this?

Taking care of business. We need to do this and move on.

Who knew one dipshit could wreck the global economy in a week?

US Embassy in Saudi Arabia is on flames

Marco Rubio: "We went proactively in a defensive way"

During his first public comments since starting a war with Iran, Donald Trump goes on a tangent about the drapes he picked for the White House and how his wife wished the "very very beautiful" ballroom would get finished soon because she can't stand the sound of piledrivers outside.

Calling political opponents fascists and mocking victims of political violence? Republicans would NEVER

This is a breathtaking article about the complete clown show at DHS being overseen by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski (gift link)

In the early morning, ICE raided the elementary school bus stop during the pick-up time, causing panic among the 4th and 5th graders. This unfortunate event took place outside the Woodland Village Apartments in Lindenwold, New Jersey.

Bad Bunny: Before I say thanks to god, I'm going to say, ICE out. We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans.

NEW: This isn't about "training." The two agents who murdered Alex Pretti - Jesus Ochoa and Raymundo Gutierrez - have been with Border Patrol for 8 and 12 years respectively. You can't reform CBP. Abolish ICE/CBP. www.propublica.org/article/alex...

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later. Wonder why that is.

The arrest of Don Lemon is textbook fascism—a brazen attempt to silence reporting on a criminal regime. Stand up for Don, because our rights stand and fall with those of courageous journalists throughout this country.

Amazon just announced another round of 16,000 layoffs, months after it laid off 14,000 workers. Reminder that Amazon CEO Andy Jassy raked in over $40M in 2024. And Amazon is spending at least $75 million producing and promoting the Melania documentary. The system is rigged.

When the president was calling all Somali immigrants "garbage" who "come from hell" and "contribute nothing" to America and therefore needed to go "back where they came from" did you ask him to "stop the rhetoric," Tom?
