You know who else famously used paid informants to infiltrate extremist groups?

The Justice Department.

Chris Wright insists that collapsing snow pack in Colorado is the result of "the path of the jet stream last year," not climate change

The most fundamental disconnect between MAGA and everyone else is that we believe everything Trump does is about promoting, enriching and empowering himself because he’s a greedy malignant narcissist, and they believe he actually cares about other people and is primarily motivated by that.

Washington Examiner: Imagine it was someone other than President Donald Trump. Suppose a different leader were posting deranged rants in the small hours, insulting the spiritual leader of 1.3 billion Catholics, threatening entire civilizations with annihilation, and comparing himself to God. What would be the reaction?

Today is the day my fellow Virginians!! Get out there and vote YES and reject Donald Trump. #VoteYesVirginiaToday

Chairman Comer and Republicans are canceling hearings because they are afraid we may force more subpoenas and advance the Epstein investigation. Oversight Democrats will not participate in these sham events where motions can’t be made and where we can’t call witnesses.

KIM: Are you concerned there could be real long-term effects of this war in Iran with fuel and fertilizer?

WARSH: If my reform agenda stands for anything, it's for the central bank to stay in his lane

KIM: But you're also charged with forecasting

“Ready for some bullshit? You paid the the higher prices… They raised prices on you to cover the tariffs, kept prices high, and now they get the refund.

Also: 88 of the largest US corporations paid zero income tax in 2025.”

GALLEGO: Earlier today, you told Sec. Kennedy that Trump never demanded you to cut interest rates. Is that your sworn testimony?

WARSH: That is, senator.

GALLEGO: Okay. Well someone here is lying then. Because Trump confirmed he pressed you on interest rate cuts.

HAHA he’s the judge who asked the Mueller team if they had investigated Mike Flynn for treason and called Flynn a traitor hahahahaha

Palantir's summary of CEO Alexander Karp's manifesto is generating buzz. Read the 22 bullet points. Among the 22 points summarizing Palantir CEO Alex Karp's manifesto is the belief that the US should consider reinstating the military draft.

This company is out of control and its CEO appears in nearly every public appearance to be disturbed in some way.

There are companies our government should have nothing to do with anymore—e.g., those associated with Elon Musk—and Palantir is on that list.

Chief Justice’s Wife Made $10M+ as Legal Recruiter: Report At least one of the firms reportedly had a case before Chief Justice Roberts.

Trump just issued a last-minute warning to Virginians that if they vote YES on the redistricting referendum tomorrow, he will lose power:

“If the Democrats get additional seats, they’re going to be making changes at the federal level.”

Rachel Maddow just played this video of Jon Ossoff talking about Trump crime family grifter Jared Kushner. Ossoff is Maddow's guest tonight. 🙌💪👏✊️👇

Karoline Leavitt @PressSec Fact Sheet: President Donald J. Trump is Accelerating Medical Treatments for Serious Mental Illness

we've noticed and i'm glad he's getting help

House Judiciary Democrats are teasing an investigation into FBI Director Kash Patel and The Atlantic's reporting on his alleged intoxication.

Hey, look who just showed up 👀

A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

“It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”

- Harry Truman

As Trump proves often, the reverse of this is also true.

It’s amazing how much you can fuck things up when the only thing you care about is getting the credit.

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.

Tomorrow’s the day #Virginia

Rep. Stansbury: Defending our Communities and our Planet YouTube video by Rep. Melanie Stansbury

It’s Earth Day this week and days after our astronauts returned from their mission around the moon—so it seems particularly ironic that the GOP is using this week to gut our bedrock environmental laws—including the ESA and NEPA.

We’re back at it defending our communities and our planet!

X post by Xavier Becerra: "Steve Hilton appears in the Epstein files. I'm sure he'll explain himself." Screen shot of email from July 24, 2011 from Jeffrey Epstein to Ian Osborne, asking if David Cameron could be at a meeting - the email quotes Osborne who asks if Woody Allen could be present at a meeting with Epstein and Rohan Silva, head of then Prime Minister Cameron's policy unit and Steve Hilton, Director of Strategy.

🧵With @becerraforca.bsky.social surging in the polls, & @realtomsteyer.bsky.social doing well also, this is a good time to remind Californians that Brit Steve Hilton, Brexit fan, Fox News personality, & Trump endorsed, also appears in the Epstein files! No MAGA Gov for CA!

‘My diplomatic work was just a façade’: how Epstein corrupted the International Peace Institute in Geneva - Geneva Solutions Testimony from a former intern sheds light on how Jeffrey Epstein used the International Peace Institute to attract, move, and control young women under the guise of diplomatic opportunities –includin...

Epstein used the International Peace Institute a UN-affiliated Geneva think tank to traffic young women internationally under diplomatic cover. The IPI president was an Oslo Accords architect who called Epstein his "best friend" and wrote visa letters for victims on official letterhead. ‘

We don't know which Cabinet secretary will be forced to resign next, but we know it'll be either Brooke Rollins or Linda McMahon because they're the last two women left.

North Carolina admits noncitizens on its rolls aren’t a widespread problem — as it gives voter data to DHS The board further acknowledged that many cases involving noncitizens ending up on voter rolls stem from confusion or misunderstanding, not intentional wrongdoing.

A day after the state election board greenlit sharing voter data with DHS, North Carolina election officials said they don’t have evidence that noncitizens on the rolls is a widespread problem.

The board also acknowledged that many of such cases stem from confusion, not intentional wrongdoing.
