Trump is melting down on Truth Social tonight.

Thoughts? 🤔

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

249 years later, we have this idiot.

Too little too late - he’s just trying to save himself.

It's Planning Time.

The person negotiating in the Middle East on behalf of the United States does not technically work for the United States.

I had the opportunity to confront Pete Hegseth's bigoted spiritual mentor, Pastor Doug Wilson, and call him out on his history of hate, his misreading of the Bible, his hijacking of Jesus, and his cosplay Crusading.

It was worth it.

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

As Trump’s lies get more egregious (and repetitive) I have at least noticed fewer mouth-breathing bootlickers willing to defend him in my comments.

And the administration is leaking about how he’s hurting negotiations and how they’re keeping him on the sidelines.

I’ll call that progress.

Spain has recently outpaced the US in GDP growth, emerging as one of the fastest-growing major advanced economies. As of 2024–2025, Spain’s economy is growing at a rate over 3% annually, exceeding the US (~2%) and Eurozone (~1%) averages.

Donald is such an uninformed idiot.

There's a war on for your mind.

What a handsome and lucky Lord Grey 🩶 now that he is home sweet home. ♥️

Power without accountability: The Palantir manifesto The problems with our tech philosopher kings

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally.
It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?

Don’t tell me they didn’t know who he was. He was, still is and will always be a racist.

ALWAYS!!!!

This doesn’t make much sense — Islamabad is 9 hours ahead of DC. So 3pm will be literally their midnight.

Iran says it’s not negotiating.

Let’s wait and see. I’m reporting what I know and will share once any credible info is available.

8:00 AM PRESIDENT participates in Executive Time The White House Closed Press THE 1:30 PM PRESIDENT participates in a Policy Meeting Oval Office Closed Press THE 3:00 PM PRESIDENT signs Executive Orders Oval Office Closed Press

From what I have, 3pm slot will focus on signing:

Maritime Blockade Enforcement: formalizing the rules of engagement for the Navy in the Strait of Hormuz following today's naval action

Negotiation Mandate: memorandum outlining final negotiation terms for Vance, who is arriving in Islamabad today.

New Iranian LEGO banger just dropped 😭🤣😂

When the topic turns to "what comes next" and "what should we do," we should defer to historians in the same way we defer to doctors on vaccines, lawyers on criminal defense and military generals on strategy and tactics.

They're going to tell us stuff like this and it's vital to America's future.

Wow. To hear a Catholic priest make the connection from the Trump administration to “white Christian nationalism” is 🔥

But let’s not pretend this is new. Christianity was used to justify slavery, and now the right uses Christianity to justify racism.

I appreciate a priest saying it out loud.

US Southern Command: On April 19, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Caribbean and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed. @DeptofWar #OpSouthernSpear UNCLASSIFIED

We murdered three more people in boats today

I love that Trump is bragging about the U.S. military subduing an Iranian cargo ship. Great job! The largest military in the world somehow disabled an unarmed, slow ship that was carrying stuff. Interesting flex.

Searing opinion from a federal judge on Long Island, who describes "police state"-like tactics by ICE to arrest peopleand draw up after-the-fact warrants.

He says DOJ is damaging its credibility with the courts by trying to shield ICE from scrutiny. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Can’t keep up anymore.

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

The Arc de Triomphe was commissioned to honor Napoleon in 1806. By the time construction had really begun in earnest, Napoleon had suffered a disastrous military defeat and had been forced into exile.
