This week’s main story is about prediction markets – platforms where you can bet on basically anything, from the weather to the war in Iran – the legal and moral questions posed by their existence, and why someone needs to take Shayne Coplan sweater shopping. The purple isn’t working, Shayne!

PLEASE KEEP TRACKING ICE.

A federal judge JUST ruled that Trump improperly coerced Facebook and Apple to remove ICE-tracking apps in violation of the First Amendment.

The descent of the Justice Department into a crude weapon wielded by an erratic authoritarian is gathering speed and quickening the threat to America's fraying democracy in ways that we all feared but hoped might be kept at bay for a bit longer.

The entire Republican Party has been ignoring Trump's sharp mental decline the same way they've ignored his crimes.

I Can Prove Trump’s Russia Problem Goes Back to 1977 and I Will – starting Monday at 8 AM Central - one essay a day for ten days. Names, dates, dollar amounts, source documents.

BREAKING:

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) - Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán concedes defeat after 'painful' election result, ending 16 years in power.

SAVE THE DATE MAY DAY 2026 A nationwide day of collective action Friday, May 1, 2026 WORKERS OVER BILLIONAIRES MAYDAYSTRONG.ORG

May Day will be a nationwide day of economic disruption, as we flex our collective power to demand an end to the oligarch-enabled Trump regime. The central action will be to engage in little-to-no economic activity on May 1 — that means no work, no school, and no shopping: maydaystrong.org

Now, Trump’s budget request reveals, the FBI runs a dedicated “NSPM-7 Joint Mission Center”; with personnel from 10 federal agencies, it is busy “proactively” identifying domestic terrorists motivated by any of the following beliefs: “anti-Americanism,” “anti-capitalism,” “anti-Christianity,” “support for the overthrow of the U.S. Government,” “extremism on migration,” extremism on “race,” extremism on “gender,” “Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on family,” Hostility towards those who hold traditional American views on “religion,” and Hostility towards those who hold traditional views on “morality.”

The FBI is “proactively” identifying “domestic terrorists,” including anyone with critical views on “capitalism,” “Americanism,” “Christianity,” “migration,” “race,” “gender,” and “family.”

Essentially, every single Bluesky user.

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311. 
 
311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small. 
 
So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

Beautiful day to fill the 100,000th pothole of the year.

Good morning. If you're just waking up, Trump is openly threatening nuclear war against Iran tonight, and none of the other people in power in the U.S. government appear to be willing to do anything to stop him.

Republican congressional leaders: Whatever he may or may not have on y'all, there's no way it's worth risking a nuclear war.

There are a surprising number of people in politics + media who don't understand that nuclear launch authority rests solely with POTUS. Trump doesn't need clearance from Congress or the courts. Even preemptively. All that stands between him and nuclear war are military refusing to follow his orders.

"Calm down. He won't be that bad."
"He won't go after political opponents."
"He won't try to overturn an election."
"He won't start a stupid, costly war."
"He won't purge the military."
"He won't use nukes." <--- We're currently here.

The man who watches Trump all day, every day Aaron Rupar spends up to 80 hours a week following the US president, from meandering speeches to impromptu press conferences. He says it’s ‘pretty bleak’

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”

The Next Coup Attempt And How to Stop It

If you think a Trump electoral false flag terror incident is impossible, keep in mind that Vance arrives in Hungary tomorrow — right in the middle of Orbán’s electoral false flag terror operation, which Vance will presumably endorse.

There Will Be No Post-Presidential Peace for Donald Trump The president and his allies will face impeachments, lawsuits, and maybe even The Hague.

“The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law.” —Justice Sonia Sotomayor
