Ready for another week of alternating between abject existential terror and laughing at the utter ineptitude/insanity? Me neither! Let's do this!

Anytime any respectable journalist mentions our two chief negotiators with Iran, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they should note both receive sizeable paychecks from Middle Eastern nations with deep equities in these talks. It is a fundamental corruption.

Dustin Nolan, Emmy winning anchor at KWQC TV6 in the Quad Cities, quit live on air Friday. "We have to be more than sanitized news because it makes people feel uncomfortable. The facts matter." He did not name his reasons. He did not have to.

Donald Trump f*cked up with the Iran War so badly there's no good way to unf*ck it back. Is our country going to keep letting him do this with everything else through January 20, 2029 (even assuming, which we can't, that he won't f*ck with elections before then)?

LOL…true

Investigation: Florida routed $35M+ through agencies to election-season ads opposing abortion and marijuana measures, tapping child-protection, public-health and opioid funds as records left totals unclear. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/florida-ag...

Nancy Mace came in fifth place in her primary campaign for South Carolina governor. For not the last time, the press probably needs to reassess the attention it gives her.

LOL if you thought the Trump boos were loud on TV, wait until you hear them from inside MSG. Video courtesy of Evan Roberts from WFAN on X.

Long ago, people placed high in government used to have to get a security clearance. Now POS POTUS can ‘just wave you through’… Just a reminder, Pete was red flagged as a security risk & finally quit/fired from National Guard.

People just want to watch a basketball game without everything turning into his circus. He finds a way to ruin anything good.

Screwworms eradicated in the US in 1966. Measles eradicated in the US in 2000. Both are back because of this science denying administration.

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

And efforts in other states to either do the same thing, or prosecute doctors in other states.

As if the crowd wasn’t already poised to boo him back to Hades…

It has been revealed that corrupt MAGA idiot Tommy Tuberville voted illegally in Florida in 2018 three months after he moved back to Alabama. Yet another fascist republican caught red-handed committing voter/election fraud. He should be in jail, not running for Alabama governor.

This photo is insane.

We are very far off the cliff, folks. @CBS should be avoided entirely. Shame on them.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

They had contracts for prison labor at these camps?? Before they even bought them? www.projectsaltbox.com/p/contracts-...

If I grow up I want to write this well www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/b...

Here's another ad for Dems to play on repeat for the mid terms:

Rep. Stansbury: "This administration is choosing to not investigate the crimes that are in these files. The administration is choosing to release the names of survivors and not perpetrators…The administration is trying to gaslight the American people."

skinny does NOT feel better than an ice cream sandwich tastes

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Yep, nothing like admitting you’re a criminal.

Indeed

Trump got $100 from ~600,000 people as a prepay for the Trump phone. Nothing was sent out nor a release date was ever available. Now the fine print has been changed that does not promise a phone at all.

Good morning to everyone who didn’t write 55 insane posts from 10pm to 1am last night on TruthOptional™️, crap like calling for Barack Obama to be tried for treason.

Holy crap. 70% disapproval.

Surely, there has been no other time in the history of this country when its politics was so overflowing with idiots.

So the Trump administration is not only going after Chinese scientists, they are now going after Americans who defend them. Who would have thought?

“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

US House Democrats will hold public hearing on Epstein files controversy, with testimony from Epstein survivors, on Tuesday in Palm Beach, Florida

They chose the wrong people” “We’re gonna fight back” Rep Jason Crow (D-CO) says he & the 5 other military veteran Democrats targeted for probes by Trump Admin. are emboldened Crow says we should expect Congressional probes of Hegseth The weekend edition is LIVE: youtu.be/vOZZSQ7fI7Y?...

LOL

Charles Pierce: Leaked memos reveal just how much the Supreme Court, under Chief Justice John Roberts, has betrayed the constitution.

Total Jobs Created by Party (1989-2026): Democratic Presidents 50,600,000 Republican Presidents 1,469,000 The biggest scam the GOP has ever pulled off is convincing people that Republicans are good for the economy.

A study on Covid vaccines showed that this yr's vaccines were 53-55% effective against hospitalizations. Jay Bhattacharya did not want it to be released. The article did not get published in the CDC's flagship journal. This is solid science by experts. 🧪 insidemedicine.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

Why the hell does it sound EXACTLY like Donald Trump?

Sen. Mark Kelly: "According to them, any time a retired veteran says something that the Secretary of Defense doesn't like, they can be punished…It's an outrageous violation of our constitutional rights."

Most serious people already acknowledged that Iran could withstand a blockade for longer than we would be willing to maintain one. Anyone who thought this blockade was a good idea should be fired immediately due to lack of basic analytical ability.

Just read this book by Nick Enrich I found it very hard to contain my outrage and sadness – every single page was distressing to read, and I can only imagine what the author and USAID colleagues went through, and the millions who were suddenly abandoned... www.simonandschuster.ca/books/Into-t...
