Well, at least the BBC is covering this.

If this isn’t insanity I don’t know what is.

Hungary's New PM Just Showed Us What Courage Looks Like. Where's Ours? Hypothetically, if I was elected President, here are the opening salvos of restoration

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did.

Virginia joins a national effort to ensure only popular vote winners become president With Virginia on board, the National Popular Vote Compact is now enacted in states worth 222 electoral votes. Here's what that means.

“The War Is Turning Iran Into a Major World Power”: U. of Chicago Professor Robert Pape Will Iran join China, Russia and the United States as a fourth major power on the world stage? Iran’s resilience in the face of the U.S.-Israeli war is already shifting the global balance of power, sa...

“Iran is far stronger than it was just 40 days ago. It is in control of 20% of the world’s oil. It is now an emerging fourth center of power," says American political scientist Robert Pape. "The United States is on one side, and the rivals are China, Russia and now Iran.”

Democracy has not prevailed there for a long time (many years)...would be great to see it turn around

Low snowpack normally means it will be a bad fire season. Plus the forecast is for above average temps across the country.

social media post that reads: I'm getting sick of hearing Congress say "it's up to the American people to hold him accountable." No, it's not. He threatened to wipe out an entire civilization. We didn't swear an oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution. You did. DO YOUR JOBS.

Well put:

The fate of the earth depends on removing Trump from the White House, ASAP | Will Bunch

“Trump's unhinged genocide threats demand radical action to remove him from the White House, immediately,” writes columnist Will Bunch.

*many people are saying* it sure looks like the White House wrote this for Pakistan’s PM, who posted it then quickly deleted the top part 😬

Senator Ron Wyden is one of the more restrained members of the Senate who carefully chooses his words. I’ve never seen him angry.
When RON WYDEN says this, LISTEN:

I'm not sure how you can be against removing this man from office right now. What will it take? A nuke being dropped? It's too late then. The purpose of impeachment and the 25th Amendment is to prevent that type of thing from happening, not just to react to it.

“.. Strip away the shock value for a moment .. This is not a stray remark at a rally. Nor was it a misstatement quickly corrected by staff. This is a public declaration, .. during an active and escalating international crisis.”

The 25th Amendment exists for a reason.

The President of the United States is a deranged lunatic, and a national security threat to our country and the rest of the world.

FBI labels suspected China hack of law enforcement data 'a major cyber incident' Under federal laws, a cyber breach is declared a “major incident” only if it involves the compromise of personally identifiable information that could cause “demonstrable harm.”

Green graphic with a picture of Trump looking down. White and green tax are overlayed that detail how Trump's budget proposes $1.5 trillion for war, but makes tons of cuts to other programs like housing, education, and environmental protection.

Trump’s America-last budget.

If you count the numbers that died from Covid during his first term, he's responsible for over a million deaths.

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.

This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

Cloisonné pin similar to the NASA logo, but reads “NOT FLAT”, with “we checked” underneath l

NASA’s Earth photos from Artemis inspired me to put this on today… 🙂

Getting lots of positive comments on it as I run errands…

The new job numbers look good, but I’m mindful of the larger context:

Job growth during the first 15 months of Trump’s second term: 321,000 jobs

Job growth during the last 15 months of Biden’s term: 1.9 million jobs

The Trump White House has no explanation for this.
