How Trump Keeps Getting Away With Blasphemy Liberals struggle to understand why the president's evangelical supporters never seem to mind his sacrilegious tendencies. They're missing the point.

Why Trump's blasphemy is no aberration: my latest for @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/soci...

A tweet from Representative Thomas Massie that reads: I just viewed 2 Top Secret FISA docs. 1) FISA Court opinion that raises serious concerns about FBI implementation of FISA 702. 2) letter by Senator Wyden describing a secret government interpretation of FISA law. The Constitution requires I vote No on FISA 702 reauthorization.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about.

Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

This is dope as hell. Humans are pretty amazing at doing cool shit when there aren't some stupid assholes fucking shit up

JD Vance / Hillbilly Felony / MeidasTouch

I’m calling it.

JD Vance is going to have it rough running for president because Trump won’t give up the spotlight or the quick endorsement he should.

Worse, it already looks like he’s setting him up. If things go sideways, Trump won’t take the hit, he’ll make sure Vance goes down with him.

Inside Trump’s Effort to “Take Over” the Midterm Elections When Trump tried to overturn the 2020 election, the institutional guardrails of American democracy held. But if faced with the same tests today, those barriers — and people who held the line — would l...

An examination by ProPublica shows how thoroughly and expansively the Trump administration has overhauled the federal government into what some fear is a vehicle for making sure elections go his way.

Trump DOJ now 0 for 4 on voter roll cases as court rejects Massachusetts lawsuit “Here, the Attorney General offered no basis—none—and the demand was therefore facially inadequate.”

Just a reminder that for all their big talk, DOJ is 0-4 in lawsuits to obtain state voter files. My law firm is 4-0.😎 www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

"The common sense of mankind demands that law shall not stop with the punishment of petty crimes... It must also reach men who possess themselves of great power and make deliberate and concerted use of it to set in motion evils which leave no home in the world untouched." —Robert Jackson, Nuremberg

CNN Anchor Straight-Up Asks Trump Ally ‘Do You Support Making a Whole Civilization Die Tonight?’ CNN anchor John Berman straight-up asked Trump ally Mike Lawler "Do you support making a whole civilization die?" after Trump threatened to do just that.

CNN’s John Berman pins GOP Rep. Mike Lawler: “Do you support making a whole civilization die?” Lawler squirms, mumbles “no,” then parrots Trump’s war crimes.

Journalistic malpractice and democratic betrayal.

Yes, we are a Constitutional Republic with three branches, but until the other two standup and restrain him—for example, fix the War Powers Act and other acts that have yielded more power to POTUS. We’re stuck.

Are you ready for some war crimes? | Press Watch Trump may be giving unlawful orders imminently. You’ve been warned.

Every news organization in the country should be reminding servicemembers that they must refuse illegal orders. presswatchers.org/2026/04/are-...

U.S. Tomahawks are being used in Iran war faster than stockpile is being refilled The U.S. has used close to 1,000 Tomahawk missiles since June 2025​ and has been procuring them at a rate of about 90 per year.

The US has burned through ~850 Tomahawks in 4 weeks. That's roughly a quarter of the inventory. At ~600 produced/year, that's ~1.5 years of production gone in a month. Hard to see what long-term political goal this buys.
