The success of @pablo.show and @minakimes.bsky.social are the two of brightest spots in broadcast media for me right now. Just extraordinary talents, fantastic people who’ve been true to themselves and carved a path. Media is laughably far from a meritocracy so it’s great to see deserved success.

Trump is putting no effort into becoming less unpopular but a TON into putting elements of a coup in place. Some of them may remain invisible, but the ones we can see point to his general approach: violent intimidation + corrupt judges + executive branch and congressional coconspirators + bribes.

He promised to release his tax returns as soon as there were no more audits pending, and now there are no more audits pending.

Dr. Sonya Sloan and Dr. Haydée Brown warn the Trump administration is “burying the evidence.” 1,800+ measles cases already in 2026. Reports say the FDA blocked studies showing COVID-19 and shingles vaccines are safe. “If the science exposes the truth, block it.”

This. All of this. #Pinks #ProudBlue

Trump and his allies are doing everything they possibly can to strengthen the forces in the center-left that are urging Dems to embrace procedural Total War. Trump and the GOP are doing this to our country. Every last shred of damage that results from escalation is their fault.

Cis friends, if the deliberate attacks on trans health, safety, identity and existence don't radicalize you... if you haven't noticed that "deliberately inflicting on [a] group conditions of life calculated to bring abt its physical destruction in whole or part" is a definition of genocide yet...

Jon Lovett on the Washington Post's editorial attacking Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's criticisms of billionaires.

the pitch deck to sponsor sec. of transportation sean duffy's family road trip reality show (obtained by POLITICO) is as stupid and corrupt as you'd expect: static.politico.com/74/6e/5da7a1...

Brett Meiselas says RFK Jr. blaming teenagers' sperm and Dr. Oz saying Americans are "under babied" are not only weird—they miss the point. The reason people aren't having kids is simple: income inequality has become so extreme that Americans can barely afford housing and food, let alone raise kids.

If FBI Director Patel wants to pass out branded bourbon or pop bottles in a locker room, he should stick to podcasting. This is a serious job & I don't believe the American people can count on him. Patel should never have been confirmed. He should resign or be fired.

Thank you for the sound bite, Mr. President

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.

$29 billion?! I recognize this admin lies about all things at all times, but it is strange/bad that the Pentagon keeps putting out such obviously false numbers about the Iran war's cost — and hiding the extent of actual damage to US facilities in the Middle East. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

Secretary Duffy, his wife and nine kids took a "Great American Road Trip" to celebrate America's 250th. They say no taxpayers funded the project. But a nonprofit with transport-related sponsors did. n.pr/4uDPBf1

PATTY MURRAY: Is it your position that American families should be forced to give up childcare and health coverage so you can have $1.5 trillion for this budget? HEGSETH: That's not my department. I certainly support this budget and the president's efforts to find and remove fraud wherever possible

Is there any reason to doubt that acting attorney general Todd Blanche will take this as a direct order? DOJ must be overhauled (see below). A top priority for a future Dem Congress.

A core part of the Supreme Court’s stated rationale for gutting the Voting Rights Act is that racism isn’t a problem anymore, so former Confederate states would never disenfranchise Black voters the way those states are doing right now.

Bill Bramhall/New York Daily News Bill Bramhall's editorial cartoon for Thursday, April 30, 2026.

The Fifth Circuit just told millions of women that three judges know better than the FDA, their doctors, and 25 years of evidence. They don't. This restriction on medication abortion is a nationwide abortion restriction, full stop. I have no intention of letting this stand.

Quiet part out loud.

Senator Ron Johnson objected.

To be clear: There is no "backlash" against this project that the citizens of Seattle have been demanding for YEARS 😂 The daily mail is doing that ragebait thing that they do!

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

Discovery in the Kash Patel--I'm not as say as you drunk I am-- defamation suit will be lit. :)

"You're just voluntarily complying with this whimsical cosplay" -- holy shit, Tim Kaine is *demolishing* Russ Vought

Lies from a "religious leader" to protect a corrupt president.

If you think legislation that targets “low enrollment degrees” only impacts the humanities please look at this list. Degrees in chemistry, math, physics, political science, data analytics, psychology and economics are being eliminated. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/16/o...

Pete Hegseth quoted a fake Bible verse from the Tarantino movie Pulp Fiction yesterday during a Pentagon prayer service

CHRIS MURPHY: What does it mean to 'end a civilization'? MIKE WALTZ: It was some tough talk. They clearly got the message MURPHY: I guess it's an open question as to whether we should try to pursue our aims by threatening another nation with mass civilian casualties

The individuals referenced here are adjudicated terrorists. They were found guilty of conspiring to use force against their own government to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. A conservative, Trump-appointed judge applied terrorism enhancements to their sentences.

Neguse: "Despite all of that, Speaker Johnson made the decision to gavel the House & send everyone home. Now we're back 2 weeks later & what has the majority decided is the most pressing issue to debate? Apparently it's a resolution commemorating a bill that the GOP passed last year. It's absurd."

At Pentagon worship service today, Pete Hegseth again read a violent prayer to bless the Iran war. But this time his prayer was apparently borrowed from 'Pulp Fiction.' I promise I'm not writing for @theonion.com now: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

NEW: The Justice Department has moved to erase the seditious conspiracy convictions of the key Oath Keepers and Proud Boys leaders who played central roles in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol — including Stewart Rhodes, Ethan Nordean, Joe Biggs, etc. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

JD Vance: "The bad news is that we have not reached an agreement. And I think that's bad news for Iran much more than it's bad news for the US. So, we go back to the US having not come to an agreement ... they have chosen not to accept our terms"

here's Trump entering a UFC event as Vance says that negotiations with Iran have failed

@pablo.show Watching a clip of Morning Joe that was played on DH. Pete Buttigieg is being interviewed where we see the back of the interviewer’s head. Husband says “that looks like Pablo’s head.” Clip continues and it was your head! Almost a year without ATH and we still miss it.

This is really good as well. So far Ted Lieu, Chris Murphy, and Elissa Slotkin making this point with crystal clarity. More Dems need to do this.

Do you know how EXTREMELY FUCKED UP SHIT HAS TO BE for me to be reposting Tucker Carlson positively???
