He's a liar and a killer. I don't know what else to tell people, he's a rich eugenicist, he wants as many poor people as possible to die in the name of 'health.' He's a genuinely and uniquely malign figure in American life and his appointment was an act of violence
heres tucker talking privately about trump after january 6, this lying grifter knew the whole time
if he means this hed slink away, never to be heard from again…he doesnt mean it, he just sees which way the winds blowing
I have always considered myself a libertine. I had no problem with gambling. But the expansion of gambling into EVERY CONCEIVABLE CORNER of society is horrific. This is why I don't read ads for sports betting anymore.
people can't leave well enough alone. and this isn't just a gambling thing.
I fear that we'll get yet another muted media and public response, because this is a domestic violence situation.
When murder, even mass murder, is about domestic violence, it's not taken as seriously as violence at the hands of a stranger.
What will it take for us to realize it's just as bad?
My latest for MSNOW details how the Trumps turned Fox News’ “Biden Crime Family” schtick into a business plan, and the network immediately stopped caring about political corruption: www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
I wrote about Gen. Jack Keane, one of Fox's most vocal cheerleaders for the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran, who also happens to sit on the board of directors of two military contractors. The network doesn't seem to have disclosed this conflict of interest over at least 59 appearances on Fox News/Business
Oh, okay
shrouded figure on CBS
CBS News has a bombshell interview with a U.S. soldier who survived the deadly attack in Kuwait on the first day of the way -- he says Pete Hegseth is lying about the attack and that the base "was unprepared to provide any defense for itself." www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-wa...
you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.
They want you to become listless and hopeless. They know that's easier for many of us than inhabiting uncertainty.
I get it. I don't do well with uncertainty. But I'm gonna stay here, in this ugly, messy uncertainty—grieving, refusing, denouncing, and trying to figure out what to do next.
So trump filled his cabinet with sychophants who lifted their faces off the floor a few inches to tell him war with Iran was a dumb idea and he ignored them because he’s never faced a consequence in his entire life www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...
I don't get news notifications and haven't since 2019! I don't have slack on my phone! Join me!!!
Going on like a decade+ of never getting a notification, it's the move ✊
You can also do carve outs for specific people which is a feature that I love! If you're worried about children/spouse/etc and want to be notified by them only
Also tonight: Tennessee's Senate passed "the Charlie Kirk Act," which prohibits colleges from “discriminating” against someone based on their “opposition to abortion, homosexuality, or transgender behavior." (?!)
The bill is silent about those who support abortion rights and the LGBTQ community
It's late, but this is important: Senate Republicans are pressuring the FDA to shut down abortion pill websites jessica.substack.com/p/the-gops-p...
Hed: Megyn Kelly compares pressures on Trump to start Iran war to Justin Timberlake pressuring Britney Spears to have an abortion Sub: Kelly: “Was that Britney's decision? Yes, it was. But if Justin Timberlake hadn't pushed and pushed her, would she have done it? No, she wouldn't have. It's the same thing. There's no question Bibi pushed Trump into this.”
Some bold takes today

this is the very obvious game plan, and if you're reading journalism that doesn't at least hint at the possibility, you're not reading journalism at all:
I think they should have to sit through the entire speech with the camera on them personally
New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF
Screenshot from piece: The attempts to cynically exploit the crash were just a preview for how MAGA would handle tragedies in Trump’s second term. In the past year, conservative media lied about the ideological profile of a man who killed Democratic Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband; covered for the Department of Homeland Security’s repeated immigration abuses that included the killing of two Minnesotans; and baselessly targeted an innocent Palestinian student after a shooting at Brown University. In each of these incidents, the Trump administration and its media allies moved quickly to establish a political narrative before facts were established, which often takes time and investigation. The result was a cycle in which speculation hardened into talking points, shaping public perception before a full and careful accounting of the truth could take place. By the time the actual facts came to light, the narrative was set and right-wing media had already moved on to the next outrage cycle.
A new report highlights the systemic failures that led to the DCA plane crash that Trump and right-wing media blamed on DEI
The incident was just the start of Trump and his allies responding to tragedies by rushing out a political narrative before facts can be established

and i wrote this a decade ago about jackson as the model response to trump-style politics www.slate.com/articles/new...
Anyway, here's just one example of how the above incident was covered on Fox News
Just this week we wrote about how right-wing media serve as propaganda mouthpieces for DHS when they lie about agency abuses before the facts have a chance to emerge
www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/rig...
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Right-wing media are carrying water for blatant DHS propaganda.
Right-wing media are trying to justify ICE abuses by lying about the reality of mass deportations. This pattern has repeated itself in the aftermath of DHS-related incidents across the country.

Is the administration’s bit that they encourage right-wing influencers to find “fraud” in blue states; influencers “investigate” and publish propaganda claiming said widespread fraud was responsibility of immigrants; and then gov’t sends in ICE to terrorize people because of it?
And not to put too fine a point on it, but a president who ran on eliminating “illegal” immigrants created a ton more “illegal” immigrants by canceling a bunch of actual real legal statuses. He took people off the path that everyone says they want people on.
