The man who introduced obligatory vaccinations to the US Army was George Washington.

Someone please ask him *how* he would’ve “won Vietnam very quickly” and keep insisting on details. That would be very entertaining.

I'm excited to share that we've made a collection of historic Supreme Court Records and Briefs available via

I've written a blog post where I go into detail about the importance of this collection.

The insider trading suspicions looming over Trump's presidency The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades ahead of public announcements by the US president.

You’ve seen this before but the BBC has put it all together.

"Or risk a public backlash" is such a wild counterfactual to "be candid," as if there wouldn't be a public backlash if the entire global economy implodes due to mass unemployment at levels not seen since the Great Depression.

Guillotines.

I have a solution, Dan: don’t use AI. It’s mostly unhelpful bullshit and your customers hate it and therefore you. 30% unemployment means a lot more people will also hate you. Also, look up an older and very effective piece of tech called the guillotine. You’re welcome.

This Data Center is Getting a $77 Million Tax Break to Create One Job No other project in the country has gotten such a large subsidy to create so few jobs, according to watchdogs.

Rockland County, NY, gave a $77 million data center tax break to JP Morgan Chase to create exactly one job. On a dollars-per-job basis it appears to be the costliest subsidy in U.S. history, possibly even a world record

But every Russian leader (among others) would have absolutely loved it

Pretty sure the answer is “no.”

I also think this is exaggerated. 37% of Americans cannot actually believe he’s performing his job well. A lot of that has to be just “us good them bad no matter what.” And/or racists.

1) It is ok to cut the mic on talk-show guests who repeat the same lies over and over, as Stefanik does here

2) And while they’re doing that, you don’t need to plug their book for them

Trump, IRS In Talks To Settle U.S. President's $10 Billion Lawsuit Trump's adult sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, and the Trump Organization are also plaintiffs.

Trump is reported close to a "deal" with himself under which US taxpayers would pay him $10 billion.

I served in multiple communist and authoritarian dictatorships, but I never witnessed corruption on this scale or this blatant.

Paranoid freak-out, excessive drinking: Report describes erratic Kash Patel leading FBI YouTube video by MS NOW

The reporter defends her reporting as you’d expect but also makes the most important point: why are people leaking at a moment when leadership is polygraphing agents to find leakers? Because they’re scared of what might happen if Patel stays in charge.

Ty Cobb: Trump is "clearly insane."

A small cohort of ("prominent"?) law professors are trying to portray John Eastman as some kind of innocent victim of viewpoint discrimination, and his disbarment as some kind of assault on the First Amendment.

That's complete and utter bollocks. As usual, @gabrielmalor.bsky.social brings receipts:

I put out a montage of him a while ago sniffling in nearly every podcast interview he did for two years, but maybe that wasn’t the only thing he had going on.

My 2024 coverage of the incident:

BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market.

Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, ​a $760 million bet that oil would go down.

These orders were much larger than anything else at the time.

Unusual.

Cat Blamed for Crime Unsuccessfully.

A very unlikely story.

Depending on the jurisdiction, yes.

Fairhope protester acquitted of charges after inflatable costume arrest during anti-Trump rally Renea Gamble, 62, was cleared of all charges Wednesday after her arrest at a "No Kings" protest drew national attention and raised First Amendment questions.

Wearing a penis costume to a No Kings rally is a 1st Amendment right. Alabama’s efforts to prosecute were firmly rejected today. www.al.com/news/2026/04...

These are still murders.

Now the President

President, Extremely Normal Brain-Wise: Pope Weak on Crime, Also I’m Dr. Jesus Christ

A+ headline.

Sure, but they were in 100% compliance with that 25%.

I would like to see armed patriots assault this place, free the victims, and force the former guards to scratch out “SUCK IT TRUMP” in the desert sand so it can be seen from space, before melting back into the shadows to pick the next target.

Is that so much to ask?

I’ve now seen multiple of these crackpots literally resorting to demonic possession rather than just admitting all the sane people were right about him being an erratic sociopath the whole time.

I guess this is why he keeps saying the war with Iran is over. He’s impatient to start another illegal war with somebody else.

Is he ordering it not to deliver ballots that show votes for his opponent(s)?

Election Policy Roundup A roundup of items on voting and elections, focusing this time on voting by mail and President Donald Trump’s attempt to bring it under the control of the federal government.

President Trump's executive order directing the USPS not to deliver some lawfully cast ballots oversteps presidential authority. Federal law—not the White House—governs what mail the Postal Service must carry, says Cato’s Walter Olson.
