I could only imagine the fake uproar from fascist republicans and calls for the 25th amendment as well as impeachment if President Obama or President Biden were purposely locked out from the situation room by heads of military during a rescue mission because of erratic behavior.
IDK what Alito will do, but isn't his wife really anxious for him to retire?
ProPublica obtained a vast cache of IRS information showing how billionaires like Jeff Bezos and Elon Musk pay little in income tax compared to their massive wealth — sometimes, even nothing.

Likely incoming CDC director Erica Schwartz’s ability to stand her ground would depend not only on her mettle. It would depend also on deference from the Trump administration—and, more immediately, from Kennedy and his team.
HAHA he’s the judge who asked the Mueller team if they had investigated Mike Flynn for treason and called Flynn a traitor hahahahaha
"Republicans can no longer deny the depth of the president’s cognitive decline and should act for the good of the party. Imagine he worked in a bank. Or as an airline pilot. Or as your local solicitor or GP. In none of these roles would he be allowed to keep working."

"To paraphrase Don Rumsfeld, you have to go to impeachment with the vice president you have, not the vice president you might wish to have."
To Trump, other people have only two reasons for existing: to publicly praise Trump and to give him money.
Whiplash over the Iran war intensified on Monday as Donald Trump made conflicting claims about the whereabouts of JD Vance. As the war entered another day, the 79-yr-old president struggled to keep his plans straight, adding to confusion about where things stand.
Apparently Vance is the only one Iran is willing to negotiate with. They've had it with Kushner and Witkoff.
Thank you!
Labor secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is out of the White House. Is Kash Patel next?
Oh. 👀
Veterans Against Fascism protesters were arrested inside the U.S. Capitol building today as they staged a protest against Trump's war in Iran
In the 1990s, the working class of this country was told that unfettered free trade would create millions of new jobs and raise wages.
As many of us understood then, that claim was a lie.
Now they’re being sold the same false promises about AI.
A possible bailout for the UAE but nothing for the working class Americans who are hurting the most by Trump’s policies. Sounds about right for him.

A key player in the Ukraine-focused disinformation plot targeting Joe Biden that led to Trump’s first impeachment, diGenova regularly appeared on Fox News in 2019 to promote that conspiracy theory — even as he and his wife, Virginia Toensing, represented pro-Russian Ukrainian oligarch Dmitry Firtash, another participant in the scheme. An internal Fox research document, which The Daily Beast reported on in February 2020, questioned the credibility of diGenova and several other players in the effort.
"DiGenova has presumably been selected for the role for the very reasons that would disqualify him under any normal circumstances. He is a fierce Republican partisan with close ties to Trump who has been involved ... in GOP scandalmongering efforts dating back to Bill Clinton’s presidency. "
DiGenova, asked about Bondi’s replacement by her deputy Todd Blanche during an April 2 Newsmax appearance, argued that the president fired her because “the weaponization investigation cases in Florida have basically come to a standstill because Bondi got in the way.”
Peace when the markets open, war when they close? Evidence of manipulation is everywhere. This happened just before the markets opened Friday and oil fell sharply. Now, after just two days, the Straits remain closed and oil climbed back up.
The stock market is acting like Trump is normal, because when insanity becomes everyday, it kind of does become normal
"Today, as the Roberts court rewrites the Constitution in the image of Trumpian autocracy, it’s become clear that Roberts’ promise to be a neutral umpire was a lie. We are watching a rigged game, and Roberts set it up."
The US Navy fired on and seized an Iranian-flagged cargo ship today.
That's not blockade enforcement. That's a kinetic act on a sovereign vessel.
Anyone still calling this a "limited operation" isn't paying attention.

The Overton widow has morphed into a bank vault door.
Not one iota of hyperbole. This is *exactly* what's goin' on.
New York’s Cutest will live forever. Or is it already living forever?
Mills also should have been charged with the original Assault.
And Insurrectionist Eddie—Stop the Steal lawyer Ed Martin, who likely should have been imprisoned after January 6 but was instead made one of the most powerful lawyers in America—should have come under independent counsel investigation.
So... Witness Tampering, Hindering Prosecution, Obstruction of Justice, and Conspiracy to Commit False Report to Law Enforcement?
Nah, I'm just kidding.
That's what would happen to you or me. *He* gets to be in Congress and eat at the best steakhouses in DC because nothing fucking matters anymore.
Impunity is what a right-wing brain wants most. In that’s a huge part of Trump’s appeal, he gets away with it, in a way no one else ever really has. Except Putin and Xi.
Appendix. Damn.
Don’t think I’ve ever heard that word used so well.
