A DOGE kid gets beat up in DC and it’s DefCon1; hundreds of bullets into federal buildings with officer killed in Atlanta and it’s crickets; violent mob attacks Capitol wounding dozens of officers and it’s pardons for all.

absolutely horrifying: "Minnesota state senator John Hoffman in Champlin and Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman in Brooklyn Park were reportedly shot in their homes by a gunman impersonating a police officer."

Let's all be the rain on this motherfucker's parade. #NoKings #NoKingsDay

At the brink of war, our military is being led by an incompetent drunk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tUo...

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and Trump didn't call in the National Guard.

very fun to read frederick douglass accurately describe the problem with the pardon power in 1867

Hegseth is a racist, homophobic POS.

Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

i think it is bad that high level public officials do not respect the offices they hold or the public they are supposed to serve

Bingo.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

I’m not sure how Duffy can fix any of the issues with air travel when he’s on Fox 24/7 complaining about it and blaming other people. STFU for 5 minutes and do your job! This isn’t a reality TV show - people’s lives and livelihoods are in the hands of these unqualified dipshits.

This is what the start of an economic collapse looks like. #BlameTrump

Despite seeing several people I totally trust say this was real I still felt I had to verify it with my own eyes. And having done so I still can't believe it's real.

We're almost to where it's going to start to get really fun

What a mess

With its latest abuse of power the White House is providing Democrats with clear affirmative acts every Democrat can do to concretely oppose Trump criminality. Donate THROUGH Act Blue. A bit part of this new abuse of power is to scare people off from using Act Blue. Keep using it.

This should be the top story in Axios’s morning read. But it isn’t. It’s the FIFTH top story. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/04/23/t...

“We want to stay in the loop,” the Houthis said.

In other words, Nosferatu is full of crap.

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

An absolute must-read from @stevevladeck.bsky.social this morning: “Just before 1:00 a.m., the justices (aggressively) stepped back into the Alien Enemy Act litigation—in a decision suggesting that a majority understands that these are no longer normal circumstances.”

This is some sick shit

Don’t overthink this. He’s asking for bribes.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

FUNDSTRAT tonight: “.. in the last few days, we have had many conversations with macro fund managers. .. A few have quietly wondered if the President might be insane.”

“.. He has been insulated from the consequences of his own actions his entire life and appears to care very little about the economic sinkhole he just created. He shared a video of himself golfing over the weekend ..” - @timobrien.bsky.social www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

The President’s policies are “liberating” you from your 401(k) and retirement savings.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

WEDBUSH: “.. it is becoming crystal clear this tariff/US policy will cause pure chaos to the global auto industry .. “.. the concept of a US car maker with parts all from the US is a fictional tale that does not exist and would take years to make this concept a reality.” $GM $F $STLA

thinking of one of abraham lincoln's great quotes this morning: "As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy."

wow this SUCKS
