Here’s the thing—especially on April 15: cutting the IRS isn't some abstract budget trim. It's a tax cut delivered through weaker enforcement. And it mostly goes to people with the most scope to hide income.
Asked about the post Monday afternoon, Trump said he posted it. “I thought it was me as a doctor, and had to do with Red Cross, as a Red Cross worker, which we support,” Trump said. In the photo, Trump’s clothing is reminiscent of clothing worn in Jesus’ time and does not appear to be an outfit a modern doctor would wear. There is no reference in the photo to the Red Cross. “It’s supposed to be me as a doctor, making people better,” Trump continued. “And I do make people better. I make people a lot better.” Trump said “only the fake news” could suggest he was depicting himself as Jesus, ignoring the criticism he received from his own religious supporters. The president last year posted an image of him as pope that appeared to be AI-generated.
President Donald Trump posted to Truth Social on Sunday what appeared to be an AI-generated image depicting him as Jesus.
I find it hard to believe that any Christians will accept Trump’s gaslighting:
As Ukraine burns, Trump displays a White House photo with Putin during an active war. The image pairs a convicted U.S. president with a leader under ICC warrant, signaling proximity as allies question U.S. reliability.

Happy to be added
Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
I’m an atheist who is happy to join with the Pope in condemning Trump’s threats.
An unspeakably evil threat. Every soldier has the duty to disobey orders to carry this out, every government official has the duty to do whatever is in his power to stop it, every churchmen has the duty to speak out against it, every citizen to resist in any moral way possible.
From Catholic philosopher Edward Feser:
That looks like one of my favorite hiking trails in Washington state. Very nice.
Whether literal, hyperbolic, or something else, it is not okay for Trump to talk about ending an entire civilization.
Hegseth just fired the Army Chief Gen Randy George. Immediately. Gen George the most competent and experienced combat leaders I have ever encountered. Courage. Integrity. Takes care of soldiers. A government of gangsters.
The headlines are getting more truthful.
So Trump says he can “take Cuba.”
He says he can “do anything he wants.”
He has employed US Military power to attack seven countries without consulting Congress.
He says he can take US media companies off the air for treason.
Do the Republicans in Congress know this is nuts?
Treating your allies like garbage and then demanding they bail you out of the war you started doesn’t work?
Who knew?
Trump keeps bragging about passing a dementia screening test as if it were an IQ test. Which is exactly the kind of thing someone with… checks notes …dementia would do.
"The president and his senior advisers didn’t consider that the Iranians would get a say in what happens in this war. As a result, they failed to plan for the potential and foreseeable consequences of attacking Iran."

Hello?
Rand Paul: "As far as reasons for the war, there have been many different ones floated, but none have been very convincing... we were told their nuclear weapons were obliterated, and now we're told their nuclear weapons are just moments away from being a bomb. I don't think the arguments are valid."

Incredible that just 24 hours after this tweet, it's being reported that America is preparing to put boots on the ground in Iran.
Reagan administration: trust but verify
Trump administration: we can take them at their word
Gorgeous!
British Columbia is switching their clocks for the last time this Sunday.
There's a lot going on in the world right now, but there is NO reason to not make daylight saving time permanent.
Congress should pass my bill to finally lock the clock.
wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"
Is this bad? It seems bad.
