If your commander-in-chief is being excluded from military operations (coz he’s a lunatic) and blocked from accessing the nuclear codes (coz he’s a lunatic), you’re overdue for a new commander-in-chief.

Hey kids of America,
it's National Library Week . . .
... here is an important message from @stephenking.bsky.social

I noted the day of the SCOTUS decision that JB Pritzker IMMEDIATELY moved to make this point, by demanding a refund for IL. And State refunds may be the best way to politicize how Trump created the worst of all worlds. But Elizabeth Warren is, predictably, focused on it as well.
This is fun
"It's a bullsh** lawsuit"
Kash Patel's $250 million lawsuit isn't going over well among some on Capitol Hill
Oh... and today's an absolutely pivotal day for the midterms and the rest of Trump agenda

Dismantling Voice of America was one of the most devastating things I’ve witnessed. VOA wasn’t propaganda, it was proof that free press could criticize its own leaders and still survive. And now we’re throwing away one of our greatest tools of freedom.
This Saturday may be the most embarrassing moment in the history of the White House press corps. I’ll be talking about this all week. Here are my thoughts today. Full show: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
Virginia, don’t forget to vote YES tomorrow(4/21)!
Since Trump seems to be getting rid of all of the women in his cabinet…
Might I suggest Tulsi Gabbard next?
What a debacle.
🔥 “I’m so glad people are finally waking up to your cruelty — and to the idiocy of your star disciple Pete Hegseth.”
@wajahatali.bsky.social eviscerates Hegseth’s pastor Doug Wilson (with @timmiller.bsky.social & piers in the front row)
HAHA he’s the judge who asked the Mueller team if they had investigated Mike Flynn for treason and called Flynn a traitor hahahahaha
Isn’t that a beautiful sight to see?

Cults Gone Wild, Part 17.
Tucker Carlson: “I’ll be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. And I want to say that I’m sorry for misleading people.”
So let me get this straight: the U.S. is sending a delegation overseas led by JD Vance to negotiate with Iran… and Iran might not show up?
Genius at work.
Drunks
Sycophants
Incompetents
Miscreants
Thieves
No, this is no way to run a country.
Everything you need to know about Trump & his unfitness as POTUS is summed up in this 1st line of a latest missive…’I’m winning a War, BY A LOT’ he spent Vietnam attacking cocktail waitresses in the back of daddy’s limo and lied his way into 5 deferments. There’s no ‘I’ in war.
For the record, for anyone who’s forgotten, it’s sheer madness for a president to contradict himself nearly every day. It’s profoundly wrong that we can’t trust the veracity of a single thing that he says.
Did not miss any of these (tho admit the Whiskey Pete thing didn't make it far beyond FT), but strongly applaud this kind of summarizing.
It's REALLY hard to keep up with all the corruption. Really hard.
Quite a way to start the week…
With accusations from a longtime former Dem Senator that America currently has a:
“Leader who’s f***ing nuts”
youtu.be/P-T4O5vnm0w?...
BREAKING: Donald Trump just boosted Democrats’ chances of taking the House.
He said the quiet part out loud, “fair elections” means he loses power.
That’s not a warning, that’s a confession.
DO NOT SPREAD THIS FALSEHOOD.
2026, 2027, and 2028 will require all of us to up our media literacy game.
Anonymous non-journalists touting major breaking news stories not reported or even hinted at anywhere else should be immediately blocked, not shared.
Who else agrees Biden was—without a doubt—a better president than Trump could ever be? #VoteYesVirginia
As Trump’s lies get more egregious (and repetitive) I have at least noticed fewer mouth-breathing bootlickers willing to defend him in my comments.
And the administration is leaking about how he’s hurting negotiations and how they’re keeping him on the sidelines.
I’ll call that progress.
Bet Iran is really shaking in their boots when Witkoff & Kushner walk up to the table in their Tom Ford sunglasses & Gucci loafers. A fresh botox on the boy wonder as if to say ‘this time I mean business..’ Stevie rocking the Patek Philippe projecting ‘don’t fuck with me’ vibes.
I hope the takeover of InfoWars by @theonion.com and @timheidecker.bsky.social that resulted from the bankruptcy brought on by Alex Jones’ evil attacks on the victims of Sandy Hook brings you as much joy as it does me.
