FCC chair Brendan Carr, who has threatened to revoke the licenses of broadcast outlets whose Iran war coverage displeases him, plans to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as a guest this Saturday.
The suck-up media will never learn: When you invite fascists to dinner, they devour you.
How does American politics really work?
This is what Gabbard does to protect her position. Her job is not protecting the security of the United States of America; it’s serving Trump‘s revenge fantasies.
SCOOP: Hours after the Trump DOJ fired prosecutors because they alleged they were too cozy with abortion rights groups, DOJ hosted anti-abortion advocates at Main Justice.
Don't let anyone tell you that this is not the forced birth party.
(Oddly the right used to point at 'babies having babies' as a sign of left-wing degeneracy and national decline)
good luck finding better use of quotation marks in a statement
🚨BREAKING: The California Supreme Court permanently disbarred John Eastman — a key architect in President Donald Trump’s failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election — delivering one of the most consequential professional penalties yet for an election denier. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
JD Vance’s frequent re-invention of his public persona means he’s not just an annoying politician — he’s a dozen annoying politicians.
Oh sorry, so religion and politics should be separate? Is that what you're saying? bsky.app/profile/atru...
"liberals are actually intolerant of other perspectives"
mate, our team includes bush era neocons, communists, nurses, teachers, most unions, basically *every* academic, all the social justice movements, & the supreme pontif of the catholic church
Standard Republican economic policy. They do it every time they're in control. They also deregulate everything that protects consumers. And then a few years later we have a financial crisis. Every. Single. Time.
The President apparently promised pardons for the entire White House staff.
France raided X because Elon Musk has positioned himself at the center of modern information warfare — without accountability, without transparency, and without restraint.
And for the first time, a major Western democracy said: ENOUGH!
Perfect illustration (from Anne Applebaum today) of the conditions which opposition parties face in competitive authoritarianism (eat dung, Ross Douthat):
Yes, it is incredibly concerning that the Trump sons are backing a drone company that's aiming to sell to Gulf states that now need more protection given that their father started a war with Iran.
"Ultimately, ProPublica’s reporting shows how thoroughly and expansively the Trump administration has overhauled the federal government into what some fear is a vehicle for making sure elections go his way."
Read this @propublica.org investigation. It's terrifying.
EVERYONE SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THIS:
Conflict of interest doesn’t even begin to cover it.
Chad Bianco really seized over 650,000 ballots based on conspiracy theories that don’t even hold up to basic scrutiny. No credible fraud. No real discrepancy.

Screenshot of Elon Musk's tweet says "asterisk symbol Soros Organization has taken over Hungary". It is dated April 12, 2026.
This post feeds the dangerous antisemitic conspiracy theory that Soros is pulling the strings behind anti-fascist movements.
The reality is this: Viktor Orbán, an authoritarian antisemite, was voted out by a large majority of Hungarians. Musk knows exactly who he's activating when he invokes Soros.
THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.
"ezra klein is actually defending piker, so you're seeing this convergence of the centre-left & far left & it's basically an anti-feminist convergence"

don't let anyone say or imply modern fascism is unavoidable or unbeatable
these freaks lose all the time
Not dunking on Zack or this post, I’m just always struck by how easily American journalists will admit that the media shapes public polling and political outcomes when they’re not talking about America.
@ajc.com would do us a service to report the truth of Jones's allegations about Jackson's fortune.
A local healthcare billionaire's money must come from ordinary Georgians' high premiums, right?
A billion of Covid loans unreturned sounds bad, too.
Also, "increases the temperature" is a brain-dead euphemism for what Trump actually did here
The White House Correspondents' Dinner later this month – with Trump as guest of honor – is shaping up as an embarrassing surrender to a criminal president who is trying to destroy the free press.
Cancel the damn dinner.

didn’t realize they’re using golden orbs at walter reed now.
Republicans are going to come after contraception. They’re pretty open about it.
I cannot believe that the First Lady of the United States has no one in her life who cares enough about her to explain the Barbra Streisand Effect
How much insider trading was there on this latest bullshit?
This is Mike Johnson's war as much as Trump's. He's intentionally crippled Congress to allow a mentally unhinged president to wage an illegal war, killing thousands and sabotaging the global economy.
