Tennessee House Republicans taunting Nashville about Speaker Sexton being “shadow mayor” as they overreach into Nashville’s local affairs yet again

The Prominent MAGA magazine headline: “Donald Trump Is Losing His Mind.”
         
On the new Thursday Countdown Podcast dropping at midnight: It's not me saying it. Not Jimmy Kimmel. Not a psychiatrist. It's The Washington Damned Examiner. Quote - “Donald Trump Is Losing His Mind.”

Opinion | Trump Corrupts, and Absolute Trump Corrupts Absolutely

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption.

It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

I get emails like this a lot from folks who are clearly in need of mental health assistance.

I can understand how Trump and Netanyahu are so aligned. They're both sick fucks.

"[Impeachment] is how you hold executive officials to account. This is what the Framers gave us to deal with a president who is failing at his job, not just because he's incompetent—which he is, not just because he's crazy—because he is, but because fundamentally he's a criminal who defies the law."

I've seen a lot of references online to a "J. Edgar Boozer" and although I'm not saying anyone in particular deserves that appellation, I do think it would be the perfect name for someone serving as head of the Federal Bureau of Intoxication, if there were such a thing, which I'm not saying there is

We have an unhealthy unspoken media agreement in this country that you can’t point out that someone harbors objectively insane, delusional beliefs that should disqualify them from being anywhere near a position of power if said beliefs are colorably linkable to a mainstream religious worldview.

The Texas legislature rammed through a gerrymandering bill at the request of Trump.

Virginia actually voted in favor of redistricting to counterbalance what Texas and other Republican-controlled states have done.

Yet only one is considered a "power grab."

Oligarch-owned media in a nutshell.

House Democrats launch Patel probe, demand he submit to alcohol abuse screening If the beleaguered FBI director was hoping the allegations about his alleged drinking problem would be a one-day story, he has reason to be disappointed.

Rep. Jamie Raskin is demanding that Kash Patel submit to an alcohol abuse screening:

"For the sake of our own security, we need to know, for example, 'how many drinks containing alcohol do you have on a typical day when you are drinking'?"

revising history as it happens is the primary role of the news media

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

Trump is really mad at the WSJ for pointing out that he’s getting rolled by Iran.

Lot of people on the right crying about the Virginia redistricting vote.

We told you this would happen while you were celebrating the illegal off-cycle seat grab in Texas.

Stop playing stupid games if you don’t want to win stupid prizes.

Republicans right now:

"[Republicans] have overlooked [Trump's] mental disorders in the past— dismissed them. They've overlooked his depravity. They've overlooked the fact that he is an adjudicated sexual abuser. That he's a convicted criminal ... Because it served their purposes. It no longer serves their purposes."

Sexual misconduct by lawmakers is widespread — but often goes unreported New data from the nonprofit National Women’s Defense League, shared first with The 19th, comes on the heels of the resignations of two members of Congress.

Exclusive: new research from the National Women’s Defense League and shared first with The 19th, has tracked 30 allegations of workplace sexual misconduct against members of Congress made since 2006 — a number the report’s authors say is likely 3-4x higher in reality 19thnews.org/2026/04/sexu...

... but any remaining sense of self-control.

"Everyone around him can see it. Yet, whether from ambition, cowardice, or weary acceptance, they keep looking for ways to rationalize his behavior. The tragedy is no longer Trump’s. It is now America’s."

The verdict of a prominent conservative website and magazine:

"A 79-year-old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos. His episodes are becoming more frequent, his good days further apart. What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorum—he never had those...

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

AOC: In some ways, you kind of want this guy on a golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office. But that also calls into question the 25th Amendment, because if the determination is that Trump cannot be trusted in the Situation Room, then he's not fit to be president.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is true in both a positive and in a derogatory sense. The unwillingness or inability to distinguish between anti-semitism and anti-Zionism is a failure of character and intellect, plain and simple.

Federal Grand Jury Charges Southern Poverty Law Center for Wire Fraud, False Statements, and Conspiracy to Commit Money Laundering A Grand Jury in Montgomery, Alabama, today returned an indictment charging the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) with 11 counts of wire fraud, false statements to a federally insured bank, and conspi...

1. The central claim in the indictment of SPLC is a lie.

The DOJ/FBI accuse SPLC of lying to donors about seeking to “dismantle” extremist groups while secretly funding them. But the funds were used to infiltrate & help law enforcement dismantle these groups. Kash Patel knows this is the truth…

He’s lost his damn mind.

Also, if he thinks Iran will “never close the Strait again” he’s delusional.

He’s acting like the war is over because it’s back to status quo…ish.

Still haven’t solved uranium or missiles. All we’ve done is get the Strait re-opened.

Pete Buttigieg spoke in Tulsa, OK tonight to a full house. I just wanted to mention it because it makes me happy that so many turned out in one of the deepest red states in the union. Maybe we aren't goners just yet.
