Anders Vistisen, Member of the European Parliament (MEP) from Denmark, to Donald Trump on his threats to steal Greenland: ”Let me put this in words you might understand: Mr. President, fuck off.”

What are the costs of Trump and Rubio’s destruction of USAID? Sexual violence, human trafficking, fatal stampedes, malnourished children, shootings in refugee camps. @propublica.org reports on memos from inside our own government on the damage we are doing. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

This isn't economic policy. It's extortion. Trump's expectation is that every world/corporate leader make a deal with him in order to continue to do business in America. Buy the crypto, change your policies, fast-track Trump developments, etc. Make him an offer. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

Larry David wrote a quick little NYTimes Op-ed masterfully destroying Bill Maher for having dinner with Trump without even mentioning his name….titled "Larry David: My Dinner with Adolf" www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/o...

Oregonians showed up yesterday to send the powerful message to Trump that we are speaking up and pushing back. There's a long road ahead, but cracks are starting to form in their attack on America. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up to push the pendulum back to a better America.

90% of people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer die from the disease. That's why the medical community is excited about the results of a small trial in which nearly half of the pancreatic cancer patients who received an mRNA vaccine for the disease remained relapse-free three years later.

Sitting in a Veterans Honor luncheon right now, and the overwhelming consensus is how anti-American Trump just sounded, standing up for Putin, and how both Vance and Trump not only disrespected Zelensky, but chose the wrong side to defend. There is a lot of anti-Trump anger in the room.

The case for Democrats to start holding televised, primetime opposition hearings featuring civil servants fired by Trump & Musk, Americans hurt by baseless cuts, and scholars on authoritarian regimes. quartzevelyn.substack.com/p/the-urgent...

I thought I wanted non-voters to explain themselves, but I read this piece from Buzzfeed, and now my head hurts from banging it against the wall, so I don't want to hear from these people anymore. The comment section is worth a read, though. www.buzzfeed.com/amber-mckynz...

Rather than getting mad at Dems we should be getting mad at Republicans. Pick a dozen republicans from purple states and go after them.

The AMA has a YouTube page where you can catch up on all the fun, ongoing TB & bird flu outbreaks, since the CDC is no longer allowed to do that: youtube.com/watch?v=HlPB...

I think we might know where all the missing Dem ballots went This is Ethan Shaotran. He's one of Musk's DOGE takeover hackers 2 yrs ago he won the Berkeley AI Hackathon But in 2000 won the HackGT7 with a ballot altering program called BallotProof Here's the deep dive that he couldn't scrub....

1/My statement on learning through news reports that my #securityclearance has just been revoked.

It's a coup.

A thing to understand here is that Wired + Teen Vogue is Condé Nast — this is the Newhouse family being basically the only good billionaire publishers. Other than them, it’s the indies of the new alt media and stalwarts like ProPublica and then basically crickets.

I tried my best to do a quick Cliffs Notes on the Apartheid PayPal Broligarchy that's running America now. It's Musk and his friends Thiel and Sacks. MAGA: Make Apartheid Great Again open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

Is it just me or has WIRED been dogwalking the rest of the media on this story

The same Republicans saying we have to cut all these programs because the debt is out of control are going to enthusiastically back Trump’s trillions in tax cuts for the rich that will explode the debt (again)

WHY ARE WE SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON DONALD TRUMP??? What is this Super Bowl costing taxpayers? What does it cost to take him golfing for 3 days every week? Etc. Etc. He's cutting money for everyone else (except Muck, of course), why aren't we cutting expenses for him?

Reps. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) and Gwen Moore (D-Wisc.) barged into House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office unscheduled on Wednesday and challenged him about Elon Musk's team gaining access to a sensitive payment system at the Treasury Department. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Thank you Katie Phang for saying "convicted felon Donald Trump" at the start of every segment! I want Katie Phang to replace Ari Melber and Andrea Mitchell and Katy Tur every day of the week. She is the best!

I wonder what the rest of the world is saying about us now. Berlin newspaper.

Of all the fucking weird ass sexual predator conman convict idiot losers to break democracy, it had to be that malevolent moronic melted circus peanut? Really? Our country threw it all away for that reality tv nepo-baby orange dipped dumbfuck? What a fucking waste.

Gas is 1.50 a gallon with free carton of eggs now.

Nooooo! I just found out my brother bought a Tesla. OMG.

What can I say about #CannonBeach on the beautiful #OregonCoast that you don't already know? Let's talk about something else... Unlike many photographers, I actually enjoy including people in a #landscape photo. I call this one "Humans in the mist" 😀 #photography #PNW #beach #sunset #Oregon

Isn't it bad enough that we have to have DJT as prez, but why do we need every family member of his involved in government also? Sons, daughters, in-laws. They act as if America is now the trump family business. It's the best money-siphoning operation they've ever found!

If you were paying attention you knew it was coming but Kash Patel for FBI is Gaetz-level gangsterism, and scary news for every journalist working in U.S.

Disaster.

Some dangerous, scary stuff is coming to this country soon.

Here @juddlegum.bsky.social reminds us Trump’s son-in-law got BILLIONS from Saudi Arabia, which Republicans never mention: “In practice, Kushner remains a key part of Trump's operation.” popular.info/p/jared-kush...

Japanese-style peanuts: Has anyone tried these things? Holy crap, they are so hard I'm afraid I'll break a tooth. Is that outer coating supposed to be this hard?

Why the hell does Elon Musk -a naturalized citizen with many government contracts- get to act as co-president & Trump handler? Was this ordered by Putin? Since they both talk to Putin, I wouldn't be surprised. And if it was, then we can never have the big ego breakup I'm looking forward to.

I wrote much of what I think about this election before it happened, so I am going to put it all together here. My book, Autocracy Inc, described the network of autocrats who seek to undermine democracy, inside their countries and ours www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/725302...
