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.

Thank You Dutch Citizens, Show Us How It's Done.......
Superb idea!
The 16-year-old girl was saved by Abdulrahman Abohatem, a young Yemeni immigrant.
I'm sure President Klansman and Team MAGA will get right on publicizing this.
Won't they?

(🚨) OK, the time has come.
Everyone needs to read the 2020 bestseller Proof of Corruption, in which the man pictured below is a key antagonist trying to steal the 2020 election for Trump.
Don't care about the money here, just borrow it from the library.
The job diGenova had in the 2020 election was to regularly meet secretly at a Trump hotel restaurant with a team tasked with manufacturing fake pro-Biden foreign election interference.
Trump picking him to prosecute supposed election interference is a five-alarm national fire.
As a journalist I've spilled more words on crooked Trump lawyer Joe diGenova and his lawyer partner Victoria Toensing than any author writing in English. For years I told U.S. media to watch these two, as their specialty is Roger Stone-style election ratfuckery.
Now here we are.

My response at a candidates' forum last week to an opponent's suggestion that we can't impeach and remove Donald Trump but somehow instead can and should pass wonderful legislation (which I support!) that will keep him from abusing his power and wrecking our democracy ….
"The court's order notes how the controversy began when 'social media influencer Laura Loomer posted a link to the Facebook group and tagged Pamela Bondi and Kristi Noem' on Oct. 12, 2025.
Two days later, the group was gone."
It was not removed due to any actual violation of Facebook's terms.

Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."
Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.
Buttigieg: I’ll give the Turning Point folks a lot of strategic credit for going to a lot of different places. Going to these college campuses is kind of the equivalent, in their minds, of the way I feel when I go on Fox News.
The difference is, when I go on Fox News, I’m telling the truth
Billionaires should not be making tax policy.
Businesses should not be making tax policy.
Tax policy is a tool for managing the behaviour of the rich.
Letting them dictate tax policy is like letting the worst kids at school decide the classroom rules.
The FBI Director, the DC US Attorney, and the Secretary of Defense walk into a bar.

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.
In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.
Child: I know your name. Mamdani.
Obama: What’s his first name?
Child: Mayor.
“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands...may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.” —James Madison
More of this, less of bombing other countries
(From @acyn.bsky.social )
Peter Schiff: The most likely explanation for Trump's Truth Social lies about Iran on Friday, is market manipulation. If so, Trump insiders must have made billions. The next likely possibility is that Trump is either delusional, incompetent, or a combination of both. Either way it's not good.
Children should always be our priority. Thank you for your examples, President Obama and Mayor Mamdani
Today is the 251st anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

Remind you of anyone?

We can’t wait until Trump tries stealing the midterms to flex our collective economic muscle. That’s why May Day is so important.
