“I spoke to change something I believed was wrong, in the open, under the weight of my own name and my own oath,” Maj. Watson said.

An active-duty Air Force officer who was arrested in uniform at the Capitol in July after calling for President Trump’s impeachment made his first comments in court on Friday, in a case that could become a rare test of service members’ right to free speech.

‪Will Bunch‬: ICE wants you to pay no attention to their latest homicide. But we must. The killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a Mexican national striving for his American Dream, is a moral outrage, and a warning. ICE hopes you won't notice that mass deportation is back.

Yes, it takes just one demented idiot in the Whitehouse to hurt the world. "Right now millions if not billions across the region are already suffering from elevated fuel prices as well as higher prices for basic goods and commodities,” he said. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/4/...

Hmmm. Doesn't it seem like a general public rebate would be more appropriate?

NEW: The biggest businesses, like Walmart, could see tariff refunds into the billions -- while families receive perhaps nothing, even after facing price increases over the past year. Few companies we contacted even responded with details of how they'd use refunds. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/24/b...

From my friend Claude on the AI inflection point: "The window where humans can meaningfully shape what AI becomes is probably smaller than most realize. Not dramatic. Just closing steadily. 1/

Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Trump, and his supporters and apologists, are shitty people with shitty values from a shitty culture. Not enough bad things can happen to them.

So far, I am only seeing TPM, Mediaite, and Daily Beast focusing on this. We live in a world where the president calling an ethnic group "very low IQ" and "bad for our country" while insisting they "ought to get the hell out of here" barely makes headlines. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-m...

and also, he is thinking he is using his whacko move in Venezuela to make the world believe he might do anything. And he might, but only if he's not personally hurt by it. I think his Greenland madness is just bluatering from a bully and should be dealt with accordingly.
