You watch Jon Ossoff speak like this about the actual stakes & then you watch Andy Beshear speak about Funny Words, & the abject poverty of the latter approach to Democratic politics in 2026 is so stark that you don't know whether to laugh or cry about the latter.
I would have *loved* to see these guys play the Doctor.

I've had some friends suggest that there was plausible deniability for people who used to work at Palantir who thought at the time it was just another tech company. I always found that hard to believe as it was always creepy and cultish. But after this... anyone still working there...
DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES
New @nbcnews.com poll:

A majority “strongly disapprove.”

Elon shoving all his failed shit into the SpaceX ahead of the IPO: X The Everything App, the Mechahitler CSAM Generator, and now tens of thousands of unsellable Cybertrucks
Wall Street figures a bag of shit this big must be worth nearly $2 trillion
Nasdaq is cheating its customers by allowing SpaceX to be fully listed on the exchange while the number of available shares is low. THIS IS NOT NORMAL. The small number of shares means the value can be easily inflated while listing forces the index funds to buy in at that inflated value.
If people were still clinging to any notion that financial markets were based in reality, they should be thoroughly disabused of it by now
This may be a fundamentally new kind of sin blending blasphemy, idolatry, divination, and simony, among others. Those who are not horrified at this may be entirely lacking in authentic religious awareness and feeling.
CNN’s Harry Enten: “It is a blowout in the net popularity ratings. It’s not even close. It’s a nearly 50 point blowout amongst the American public at large. Pope Leo XIV absolutely crushing Trump when it comes to how popular they are.”
TRUMP, throwing insults at Pope Leo:
“weak on crime”
“terrible for foreign policy”
“catering to the Radical Left”
“owes his position to me”
“sit down and mind your own business”
POPE LEO, unbothered:
“We are called to love.”
Much of this story details that the Irish government provides stopover status for SU deportation flights, underlining that the US govt relies on other govts to facilitate its immigration enforcement
“In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan.”

Cover of report "Mission Aborted: how NASA illegally implemented the president's budget request without congressional approval. Minority staff report, prepared by members of the committee on science, space, and technology, us house of representatives, April 2026
This report came out today by minority staff of the House science committee on how three NASA missions were aborted due to NASA illegally following the FY26 president's budget request instead of congressionally approved budget. Very important reading. 🔭🧪 democrats-science.house.gov/staff-report...

Over just five days, the justices had decided the issue. Even as they debated the Obama plan’s possible burden on the power industry, in the entire chain of correspondence obtained by The Times, not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.
Another data point in “originalism is a fraud.” So much for the law is the law we can’t think about the impact. They rail against “results oriented judging” in public but when their corporate clients make requests they know exactly what to do. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
WOW: Jodi Kantor & Adam Liptak have the memos that describe the origins of SCOTUS shadow docket - the 2016 order halting Obama’s Clean Power Plan @jodikantor.bsky.social @adamliptak.bsky.social @nytimes.com

ICE removal flight to Mexico 🇲🇽

Hey, so ICE is still kidnapping and disappearing people in the United States.
Just because they got quieter about it doesn't make it okay.
Abolish ICE. Chinga la Migra.
I’ve watched this, like, 10 times, & my biggest dream is that the Democratic Presidential Candidate takes a leaf out of his book—be proudly & boldly & unapologetically progressive & say how you’ll improve society & provide services for the least advantaged & promote fairness & don’t be a “centrist”!
Trump wasn’t stating facts, he was engaging in market manipulation.
The Speaker of Iran’s Parliament fact checks Donald Trump:
“The Strait of Hormuz will not remain open.”
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.
