Last year, in a conversation with two of his own law clerks, recent law school graduates chosen for their conservative views, Justice Thomas said he intended to remain on the Court until the year 2034. Why that long? one asked. Because that would give him a 43-year term, he replied, according to the clerk's account, explaining, "The liberals made my life miserable for 43 years, and I'm going to make their lives miserable for 43 years."

Thomas isn’t going anywhere voluntarily. www.nytimes.com/1993/11/27/u...

"Those taxes you just paid? The money is going straight into Trump's pocket" would be good messaging

This story is crazy! The Jim Dolan had a Knicks fan obsessively monitored at games just because she was trans.

Magyar’s first target: Hungary’s state-controlled media Hungary’s prime minister-elect is vows to shut down Orbán-affiliated broadcasters until they can guarantee “objective, impartial reporting.”

"Hungarian Prime Minister-elect Péter Magyar used landmark appearances on state-controlled media outlets on Wednesday to reaffirm his intention to suspend their broadcasts as soon as he’s sworn in."

Yes.

It is irrefutable

April 1990 really had it all

Everyone involved in imprisoning people at Dilley, from the lowest guard up to Trump and Miller and Noem, should all expect to face trials and long prison sentences for these horrors.

BREAKING: Trump Deletes Post Depicting Himself as Jesus Amid Heavy MAGA Backlash President Trump deleted a post from his Truth Social account on Monday morning that depicted him as Jesus Christ healing a sick man following heavy criticism

People will be closely studying how Hungary's opposition pulled off their win in such a pro-incumbent system. Important to note that the theme was corruption. Democrats need to get much better at calling out Trump's corruption.

the reality of his war uncomfortably intruded on the carefully cultivated false reality he has created for himself and his supporters and he is desperately trying to reconstruct new boundaries for his false reality to prevent the actual reality of his loss from spilling in.

These are horrific criminal civil-rights violations that, god willing, will be prosecuted by the U.S Department of Justice ca. 2029.

the explicit promise of mass pardons for all crimes committed for the sake of the president is the most corrupt act in the history of the presidency

“The president has repeatedly raised the specter of pardons with White House aides and other administration officials, particularly when staff have suggested they could face prosecution or congressional investigations over decisions, people familiar with the comments said.”

When you blow into the Nintendo cartridge so it works

you can compare this to the "revealed preference" of social media, but the thing is that it took time for people to hate social media the way they hate this

Trump Begs Off Pledge to Genocide 90 Million Trump says that Iran has presented a 'workable' deal, calling it a 'double sided ceasefire' for two weeks.

NEW — Iran had already presented a 10-point plan.

Then Trump wakes up today and threatens to blow up Iran's "whole civilization" if they don't bend.

And then, just an hour before his deadline, he announces a ceasefire, citing Iran's "workable" 10-point plan.

Only a master deal maker could achieve the status quo of 5 weeks ago in exchange for accomplishing nothing of value and turning his country into a global pariah. Thank you sir

this is a wild story. this level of detail cannot come without many of the principles talking to the reporters. this reads to me a whole lot like vance and rubio - especially - trying to cut their losses and throw the president under the bus. it's like something from W's second term circa 2007.

Congressman Nathaniel Moran @RepNateMoran The United States of America must always be prepared to use overwhelming military force when necessary to defend our national security interests and protect Americans at home and abroad. And, a President should have the latitude to make decisions to that end, but only to the extent that those decisions are also consistent with the inherent authority of a Commander-in-Chief under the U. S. Constitution and the provisions of the War Powers Resolution. To date, I have supported the President’s decisions relating to the Iranian conflict because they were consistent with these authorities and the ultimate goal of protecting national security interests. At the same time, what sets America apart is not only our strength, but how we use it. Our nation has always conducted military operations for just causes and through just and moral means. This must continue in the future; otherwise we forfeit our legitimacy to lead the world. So, let me be clear: I do not support the destruction of a "whole civilization." That is not who we are, and it is not consistent with the principles that have long guided America. I have and will continue to support a strong national defense—one that is focused, disciplined, and firmly rooted in protecting the safety and security of the American people. But, how we protect the lives of the innocent is just as important as how we engage the enemy. America is great because America is good. 2:38 PM · Apr 7, 2026 · 45.6K Views https://x.com/RepNateMoran/status/2041586429164450028
