It's all just overtly blatant.

With their grifting there are NO COINCIDENCES.

This, combined with Lindsey Graham posting about a great call he had with POTUS about Iran five hours ago makes me really nervous.

"Only the best people"...the grift goes on and on... www.yahoo.com/finance/mark...

Beautiful park. Where are we at?

Great to see them putting women right at the front of sport …

No, this is no way to run a country.

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”

Really impressed by Stewart's start this season. Love his energy, and it looks like he's having fun out there. Defense was great today.

In a nutshell. 😊

There is so much market manipulation going on in this administration.

“Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”
— Pope Leo XIV

This is very compelling! Pete Buttigieg just gets it. The sheer humanity in this clip is why I like this man so much, everyone should watch it!!

The Maypole --after Wallace Stevens One must have a mind of spring to regard the cherry tree burdened with blossom; and have been warm for days to behold the boughs of the redbud prickly with color in the glint of the April sun; and not to think of any cruelty in the difficult birthing of so many leaves, to feel only pure elation at the sound of the undulant breeze which is the sound of every garden with a breeze blowing among its flowers, the sound the listener hears, watching the buds which were not quite here a week ago pushing up from oblivion now.

The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history

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.

Loved his music, an intelligent man.

Hungary's New PM Just Showed Us What Courage Looks Like. Where's Ours? Hypothetically, if I was elected President, here are the opening salvos of restoration

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did.

“Everybody’s using AI for everything nowadays, and if you don’t, you’re a misfit outsider who should be stoned to death in the town square, and then resurrected virtually from your data so you can be stoned to death in the virtual town square, for infinity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/o...

OMG... I feel like that could be it... he’s such a f****** dimwit

Could just use "Chicago" and sub in "Toledo" each time. Same # of syllables, end in "o" for rhymes, both midwestern cities on a great lake. I'm sure Frank Lloyd Wright must have done something around Toledo, & there's surely a ferris wheel somewhere. See? Samesies. 🤷

The effective federal corporate income tax rate:

1950: 50%
1990: 25%
2020: 13%

Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate.

That is how we will pay for it.

Swalwell has announced his resignation from Congress. It’s impossible not to ask why Texas Republican Tony Gonzales hasn’t done the same. And why the GOP doesn’t insist the Epstein files, which repeatedly mention the head of their party, be fully released.
