I would submit that a gerrymander by politicians saying fuck the voters and one by voters saying fuck the politicians are two wholly different animals

Sending fascism back into hiding isn't enough. So that later generations don't need to fight it off again years from now, it must be snuffed out for good.

Sen. Warren: "Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?"
Handsome Kevin: "ummm... errr... "

His response raises real questions about whether Warsh is independent of the President and if he has the courage to tell hard truths.

Looking forward to an update on those stockpiles a few weeks from now after trump resumes attacks on Iran shortly.

Good morning!

Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates—

💰His net worth is up $2.1 billion, to $6.4 billion

💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million

💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million

💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million

And Jared became a billionaire last year.

Have a great day!

Trump has created a defence crisis for the US. The military has heavily depleted key missile stockpiles during the Iran War, raising concerns about readiness for another major conflict, CNN reports.

One expert warned it has opened “a window of increased vulnerability”.

RUIZ: Bloomberg reports that Trump & the WH have benched you because you're making the president look bad

RFK Jr: That's not true

RUIZ: I think the reporting is correct. You're making the president look bad. You talked publicly about snorting cocaine off a toilet bowl seat. Your words, not mine.

Kevin Warsh’s father-in-law Ronald Lauder (billionaire) has been friends with Donald Trump since college

Warren does at one point single out Epstein, but the full question is nuts: Warsh didn’t disclose $100 million hidden behind entities he owns, so are any of those assets owned by the Trump family or the Chinese government, have any of them facilitated money laundering, any set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

WARNOCK: What grade would you give the American economy?

WARSH: Well, if i gave a student anything other than an A, the dean would summon me because I would've hurt his self-image

WARNOCK: Consumer confidence is at a record low. That's Americans' grade on the economy

'I know everything': Brazilian model Amanda Ungaro, Paolo Zampolli, and how the Epstein Network Brought Them Both to Trump's White House Flown to New York on Epstein's jet at 17, partnered for two decades with the man who brought Melania to the US, deported before she could post bail after a single phone call to a federal official, Ama...

In 2002 a 17 year old from Londrina, Brazil boarded Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet in Paris and was trafficked to New York. Around 30 girls were on that flight. Ghislaine Maxwell prowled the cabin. Some girls sat on Epstein’s lap. The teenager was Amanda Ungaro.

🔥 “I’m so glad people are finally waking up to your cruelty — and to the idiocy of your star disciple Pete Hegseth.”

@wajahatali.bsky.social eviscerates Hegseth’s pastor Doug Wilson (with @timmiller.bsky.social & piers in the front row)

To make it up to the world for this and everything else he's done, plus the fact that he's just an irredeemable piece of crap, he could do everyone a favor by digging himself a deep hole and burying himself in it.

Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.

"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X

The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.

I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).

So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.

We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

If a bank teller embezzles a ton of money and quits when they start investigating her, she can't say, "You can't investigate me because I don't work there now."
So why does Pam Bondi think she can get away with saying, "Congress can't investigate my wrongdoing because I don't work at the DOJ now"?

Two nights ago, Russia sent nearly 700 drones and dozens of missiles at Ukrainian civilians. In the fifth year of the war, aerial attacks on Ukrainian civilians have become even more intense and more frequent. Please join me in this campaign for air defense equipment. You can help protect lives.

It's exhausting to be in a constant state of rage. Sometimes it's best to show restraint and not allow your emotions to get the best of you over the latest grievance. It doesn't mean you're not clocking it.

The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court

1/The NYT is releasing internal SCOTUS documents re: 2016 creation of the modern “Shadow Docket” noting Justice Roberts & “other conservative justices have repeatedly empowered [Trump] through their shadow docket rulings. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Great, shocking reporting on the origins of the Supreme Court maneuver that has enabled Trump to impose his agenda without full-blown legal review. Roberts resented the Obama admin’s EPA and wanted quick protection for oil companies.

Breaking: Iran has re-imposed restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz — accusing the U.S. of violating the deal to reopen it.

Iran says it will continue to block transit as long as the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports remains in effect.

Here’s Trump bragging about making the U.S. a country that no one wants to come to and many want to leave.

OOH

Donald Trump hates drunks. HATES.

The FBI Director Is MIA Kash Patel has alarmed colleagues with episodes of excessive drinking and unexplained absences.

"Several officials told me that Patel’s drinking has been a recurring source of concern across the government... Early in his tenure, meetings and briefings had to be rescheduled for later in the day as a result of his alcohol-fueled nights." www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...
