Some MAGATs are starting to say that the Butler events were staged.
I don't know, but it all still leaves me very perplexed. I have so many questions.
To me, some elements, both those we know & those we don't, are inconsistent & don’t add up.
This creates fertile ground for all sorts of theories…

We have to stay focused on what is in front of us.
We must win the midterms. But we must also have a vision for when we are in power to address childcare, housing, and health care and make life more affordable.
Trump at WHCA dinner
Inviting Donald Trump to speak at the White House Correspondents Dinner is like inviting a serial killer to host the neighborhood watch.
Author @gilduran.com was just banned from “free speech absolutist” twitter for criticizing the Palantir CEO’s manifesto— so here’s his upcoming book: www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.
For those attending the White House Correspondents' Dinner this weekend, a small question:
When you're sitting there at your table, do you think it'll cross your mind that the guest of honor is actively covering up his role in a massive child sex trafficking operation?
The most morally corrupt DOJ in US history.
Retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson has revealed that Donald Trump wanted to use nuclear codes during a White House meeting on Saturday night. General Dan Cain, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stood up and said NO
This is the level of instability in the White House.

It's often said that the Montreal Canadiens are a religion for Quebecers. I guess that's still true… 😃 🥅🏒
The NHL playoffs have begun. Go Habs Go!

Victoria Toensing @VicToensing Hubby being sworn in as Counsel to the Attorney General. 4:04 PM · Apr 20, 2026 · 6,199 Views Jason Reding Quiñones, the US Attorney in Miami, swearing in a much shorter Joe DiGenova.
Joe DiGenova, whose wife once solicited payments from foreigners to lie about Joe Biden in 2019, just got sworn in to investigate things those things he lied about in the past.
Over the weekend I laid out why this is so problematic.

Most Americans know what it would take to fix our broken country
- Abolish Citizens United
- Outlaw foreign influence
- End the electoral college
- Tax the oligarchs
- Reestablish rule of law
- Strict separation of church & state
It’s whether we have the courage to change our self-destructive ways
Wage growth is slowing. Inflation is on the rise. Consumer sentiment has hit a record low. Millions are struggling to make ends meet.
But corporate profits have skyrocketed despite massive layoffs and the stock market is up.
New "golden age" for who exactly?
The rich are getting richer, while everyone else is left in the dirt.
While the ultra-rich get even richer, families are getting squeezed by a rigged economy.
It's time for the government to stop listening to the richest of the rich and start working for working people.
Feeling guilt isn’t the absence of innocence, it is the acceptance of accountability and responsibility for one’s own actions. When a court finds you guilty it is a debt to society but in a society that avoids accountability at its core, misplaced or absent guilt empowers degeneracy and injustice.
Wow. To hear a Catholic priest make the connection from the Trump administration to “white Christian nationalism” is 🔥
But let’s not pretend this is new. Christianity was used to justify slavery, and now the right uses Christianity to justify racism.
I appreciate a priest saying it out loud.
At this stage, the stupidity of this whole affair is a fundamental characteristic.
I am in Barcelona today to help unite progressive parties from around the world in a defense of democracy and a war against corruption. A first of its kind event. Necessary to beat back the forces of fascism.
Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:
Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%
Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%
This is what a rigged system looks like.
At this stage, the stupidity of this whole affair is a fundamental characteristic.
Women do not deserve justice. They need to get back in the kitchen and behave themselves. None of this woke shit about girls having rights.
A democracy that can be turned into an authoritarian regime with the use of strictly, narrowly legal mechanisms is not enough. After Trump, legal and even maybe constitutional reforms become the big question:
DOJ seeks to vacate insurrectionists’ convictions, while going after a former CIA Director: If Trump can make convictions disappear for allies while prosecuting critics, the damage isn’t just theoretical. Once that line is crossed, it doesn’t easily uncross itself. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
Fucking hell. Fake maga influencers flooding social media. I guess cuz so many of the real ones are jumping ship? (gift article)
Patel fired the FBI's Iran counterintelligence unit.
Then, we went to war with Iran.
He fired them because they'd worked on the Mar-a-Lago documents case.
Revenge. That's the whole answer.
Everyone's talking about the drinking.
Nobody's talking about this.
Until now ↓

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history
The FBI guy is on a paranoid bender and won’t leave his room.
The War guy quotes bible passages from Pulp Fiction.
The Health guy collects raccoon dicks.
It’s an Idiocracy on steroids.
