The implosion of the GOP is only beginning. And it will accelerate. But we can't just sit by and idly watch. We need to keep pushing for accountability—and ultimately for impeachment and removal of the president and his cabinet (of which the vice president is a member).

And ONE REASON why Trump is lying about what he was briefed is bc if you look at what Swanson was saying in the weeks before the war -- that is, if you look at the advice Trump WOULD have gotten had Loomer not purged him -- you can see how much better off we'd be. emptywheel.net/2026/04/25/t...

“From here out, any U.S. ally or partner has a strong interest in trying to get as little done with the United States as possible until Trump is gone…Since the end of World War II, much of the world has looked, with some grumbling, to the U.S. for leadership.” www.thebulwark.com/p/prepare-fo...

Because of course he did. newrepublic.com/post/210174/...

I Googled crowd sizes for PGA tour events and it averages about 40,000. I know 100 people compared to 40,000 to watch golf isn't a legitimate polling metric but the 33% approval rating the MSM claims he owns seems like a juiced # when fans boycott HIS event at this scale.

Good lord. If we cede control of the strait to Iran…. And agree to REPARATIONS…. This will be the biggest humiliation in American history

THE TIMELINE 📌 April 28: All 6 conservative justices— John Roberts, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett— showed up to a white-tie dinner at the White House honoring King Charles. 📌 Next morning: The Voting Rights Act was gutted in a 6-3 decision.

A key point made by analyst Danny Citrinowicz.

Trump wakes up this morning attacking his long time supporters again.

Reagan’s OMB Director:

Elon Musk and DOGE said they were going to root out waste, fraud and abuse. But during that time, Trump's DOJ dropped OVER 900 criminal cases of fraud. For Trump and Musk, it was never about rooting out waste. It was always about corruption and power.

"The speed with which American democracy is currently dismantled is unprecedented in modern history," one of the world's top democracy researchers says in a new report. I wrote about it here for CNN: www.cnn.com/2026/03/18/m...

Here is what you need to know about the SAVE Act: 1. It started as a stunt by Mike Johnson to protect his speakership. 2. It has evolved into a massive voter suppression bill. 3. When it fails, Trump will escalate to something even more dangerous. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/the-...

This might be the greatest split-screen ever broadcast. They’ll play this in museums in future. (🎥 LCI 🇫🇷)

Well, this aged exactly how I was afraid it would

Clarence Thomas is in the #EpsteinFiles. A file said that he raped a 4 year old. There’s a lot of rot amongst the elite. Expose & prosecute them all.

Can you believe that with all of the problems and difficulties facing the U.S., President Obama spent the day playing golf." — Donald Trump (Oct 2014)

Holy shit. Crude oil futures going nuts tonight.

The #BondiTop

Food prices climb because Trump's trade policies broke supply networks. Your grocery bills display this economic chaos. Working families pay while billionaires and corporations profit from the disaster he created and Republicans in Congress enabled. #TrumpsWarOnOurEconomy

Sounds like Kash Patel is a co-conspirator covering up a murder.

Warner: "There was no imminent threat to the United States by the Iranians. There was a threat to Israel. If we equate a threat to Israel as the equivalent of an imminent threat to the US, then we are in uncharted territory."

In tonight's speech, the president did what he does best: celebrate himself. But if anyone was looking for leadership focused on easing their current economic pain, he made clear that they'll need to look elsewhere.

ABSOLUTELY AGREE 💯%.......

Kristi Noem pushed a grotesque story about a detainee “eating himself” to justify immigration crackdowns. Now her colleagues say it was made up. If you need to invent a cannibal to sell your policy, your policy is the problem. She’s disgusting! 🤢 #USDemocracy #Pinks apple.news/AgKzu2iUtSue...

Judge Cannon claims that she *strains* to find an example where a special counsel released a report after in indictment that did not result in a finding of guilt. Here’s one off the top of my head: Sussman, who was charged and acquitted, is mentioned 311 times in Durham’s final report.

"A 3-year-old company with fewer than 5 employees is being considered for a $25 billion contract... raising red flags among investors. "The company is unknown in the nuclear industry, never completed a nuclear project and is headquartered out of a WeWork office... www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

It’s a week later but I haven’t forgotten that President Trump is trying to arrest leaders in Congress who oppose him politically. Never before in the history of the country has this happened. And we shouldn’t normalize it.

Interesting post about the coordinated anti-AOC smear campaign. It's 2016 again! Fake local news outlets on Facebook getting picked up until eventually it winds up in the Washington Post.

A clearer picture of how the 2024 election was illegally rigged for Trump in GA is emerging. Elon Musk sends tens of thousands of prefilled absentee ballots ahead of the election, boosting Trump's early voting. Election day, Russia targets majority black precincts with bomb threats. 1/

Our government shot & killed an American citizen during a stop last year. We’re only finding out about it now. Where’s the outrage ⁦‪from Senators Cornyn‬⁩ & ⁦‪Cruz‬⁩ ? This is their constituent. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

😕🇺🇸

Even Fox News is telling Trump to pump the brakes on accusing SCOTUS of being controlled by foreign actors, reminding him he has other "big cases" before the court. John Yoo: "I think President Trump would be wise to no longer call the justices somehow tools of foreign influence."

GORSUCH: “.. permanent accretion of power in the hands of one man. That is no recipe for a republic.” 👀

OMG I thought this was a joke. He actually said "I will fucking kill you if you answer another question with more than five words."

By choosing not to publicly release three FBI interviews with an underage Trump accuser—interviews the DOJ gave Ghislaine Maxwell at trial—Trump's DOJ has allowed Maxwell to retain potential blackmail over the president. But that leverage over Trump vanishes if DOJ made them public, as law requires

Relatedly, days before DHS released the files that revealed DHS was behind this killing, Todd Lyons boasted that ICE had opened a whopping 37 use of force investigations, when the number of incidents must be well over 400. emptywheel.net/todd-lyons-b...

Wow.

An uncomfortable truth: many of the crimes in the Epstein files can no longer be prosecuted. Pam Bondi, who was the Attorney General in Florida (where much of the human trafficking happened) and is now the US Attorney General, deliberately let the statute of limitations run out.

Colbert and Talarico ended up talking at length about Freedom of Religion in the interview that Brendan Carr censored. www.youtube.com/watch?v=oiTJ...

The candidate for US Senate endorsed by Gov. Brian Kemp didn’t vote for 20 years, including the 2016 & 2020 presidential elections. apnews.com/article/dere...

Will it be national news? Will it cause performative outrage? Will he be censured? Nope. Forgotten by tomorrow.

A year later Weev would play a key role in professionalizing the trolls who played a key role in getting Trump elected.

"I’ve wanted Marc Elias to be wrong for seven years, or six years, for as long as he’s been coming on my show. I have wanted his warnings to be wrong, but every single one of them has been either affirmed or prescient."--Nicolle Wallace. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/its-...

"The version of Christianity that Trump's most devout supporters embrace (and he pretends to) has no room for Christ’s actual teachings. Anyone who references Jesus’s declarations to aid the sick, poor, and vulnerable is quickly labeled a socialist and/or antifa."

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000. So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000. Lemme do a expla-youtube-nation www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYL5...
