Trump's entire presidency is just a string of manufactured outrages designed to distract from his crimes. He literally bombs foreign countries to divert people's attention from the Epstein files. MAGA worships a con man who starves his own soul for fame. Pathetic. 🤬

You better listen to the terrorist war criminal or he’s going to release the Epstein pictures of you and all those little girls Pedophile!!

Epstein’s victims say others abused them. Files shed little light on how investigators followed up | CNN There is little clarity in the DOJ’s Epstein files release on how investigators pursued the leads from victims who alleged sexual abuse by other men.

The Epstein files cover up

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.

Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.

You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

Trump does not fail because he is unlucky. He fails because he cannot do the job. The presidency has a learning curve. He never climbed it. He just renamed the failures as wins.

They told you Iran's navy was destroyed.The IRGC seized two ships in Hormuz this morning.The story is collapsing in real time. Read it.

Tucker is just another rat who decided to get off of a sinking ship. 🐀

Opportunist will say anything. Do not believe his contrition.

For the record, Iranian leadership & Iranian state media are both more believable than the President of the United States. There is something profoundly wrong about that.👇

Especially, one that may smell like Shea butter and freedom.

Thanks Trump: “Virginia voters approved a referendum to draw new congressional districts that could add as many as four Democratic seats to the House” Trump started this. Now Democrats will win the House in even bigger numbers this November!!

George Washington’s Woke Vaccines What the Founders would have thought about Pete Hegseth lifting the requirement that service members get the flu vaccine.

Hegseth's repeal of universal flu vaccines is nonsense on so many levels, but his claim vaccine mandates were an "era of betrayal" irked me as a historian. Here's my response, in @thebulwark.com this morning;

In redistricting fight, Democrats did what Republicans didn’t expect: Fight back (and win) Last year, Donald Trump and his allies launched a partisan redistricting arms race. They apparently weren’t prepared for the Democratic response.

When Trump and his allies launched a partisan redistricting arms race, it really does seem as if they assumed Democrats would just capitulate and grumble about how frustratingly impressive the GOP’s hardball tactics are.

That’s ... not what happened.

BRUTAL NEW POLL

Donald Trump is cratering. His approval with Republicans hits an unprecedented low.

Holy shit. The FBI raided this woman's house with a helicopter based on the word of a "gait analysis" quack they found on X.

Present at our nation’s founding — but excluded from its promise Elizabeth Freeman demanded her rightful place among this country's founders and helped forge a tradition of forcing America to live up to its ideals.

“On August 21, 1781, she became the first enslaved woman to have her self-proclaimed independence validated in a court of law. She changed her name to Elizabeth Freeman to reflect her new status.” 19thnews.org/2026/04/revo...

My most liberal idpol radlib take is that I think it's pretty bad that
right wing forces are actively intervening on behalf of the Klan with the full weight of the state legal apparatus

The Virginia Gerrymander Disenfranchises Republicans Republicans seem to have expected that Democrats would continue to follow rules they had long since enthusiastically abandoned.

Republicans loved gerrymandering as long as their opponents were committed to fair maps. Now that Dems are responding in kind, conservatives aren’t having as much fun. But the only thing worse than constitutional hardball is unilateral constitutional hardball. (🎁) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Interior Department crafted talking points for public lands sell-off agenda - High Country News The agency’s leadership distanced itself from the controversial proposal even though staff helped research public-land sales.

The Trump admin and Sen. Mike Lee are conspiring to destroy public lands for short term profit. Teddy Roosevelt is rolling in his grave.

a successful left-wing project should keep Matt Stoller far away from power as possible, if only because of his pro-small-holder brain

So fucked up

what you need to remember is kash patel is a dumb guy who only has power right now because he knew how to kiss ass. that's all.

A reminder that David Hogg supports Platner.
