Two WaPo editorial headlines: “The Texas gerrymander freakout” and “Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”

WaPo editorialists are beneath contempt.

100% I could convince a Democratic office to introduce a "No Tax on Family Vacations" bill in today's political environment. 😭

Friday: "trump says Iran deal in a day or two"

Two days later: Iran says no to further talks

Maybe just maybe it's time for reporters to stop blasting their latest phone chat with trump across the media ecosystem without facts, context AND without a transcript of the call.

These are the fuckers actively trying to undermine the Johnson Amendment. How stupid and uninformed do you need to be a national political reporter and not refer to this fact when a Republican claims they want to keep politics out of the pulpit? www.taxnotes.com/research/fed...

Getting the sense we shouldn’t be worried and know, despite the upgrade at coach, this team is exactly what it was last season. 🤮Hope I’m wrong. 🙏

Congratulations to the members of Team Doggett who ran the Cherry Blossom 10 Miler this past weekend as “All Bark, All Doggett.” A fitting name for a fearless team!

Again there's simply no comparison between the scope, scale, & tone of the JOE BIDEN EPICALLY AND INCOMPETENTLY FAILED IN AFGHANISTAN coverage of August/September 2021 & the "just the facts, very measured" reporting of what's going on with Iran & Trump now.

The best hope now may sound naïve, but it remains true. Mr. Trump should at long last recognize the ineptitude of his impulsive, go-it-alone approach. He should involve Congress and seek help from America’s allies to minimize the damage from his war.

The NYT editorial board is influential enough that if it called for Trump to be removed from office or — second best — to stop the war, it might actually have a positive effect on the political discourse. Instead we get this weak shit: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/o...

Major media outlets are helping JD Vance play both sides — posing as the principled adviser opposed to the war but also as the loyal helpmate supporting his president's war. Get a grip. Vance is helping a criminal president conduct an illegal war. It’s a scandal that working the press works so well.

BERMAN: The Times reports Trump has secured tens of millions of dollars of foreign steel for his $400m ballroom. How do you feel about new wing of the WH being built w/ foreign steel?

HARIDOPOLOS: Well, that's news to me. Breaking news. I haven't heard that. Obviously we want to use American steel

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office.

Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

There is no excuse for downplaying or eliding the insanity of Trump’s morning post. It is the most unhinged public comment by a president in US history and should be reported and remarked upon as such.

No real problem with ordinary folks asking about the 25th, but every time a congressman asks for the cabinet to remove a president you should read that as them abdicating their own duty to pursue impeachment through congress

Constitutional lawyer here. I don't think it would violate the Constitution for the VP/Cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment, but the intended constitutional remedy for this behavior is impeachment & removal. The fact that that remedy is politically impossible is a scandal and a crisis.
