There’s a cruel sleight of hand happening in plain view right now, Monday, April 20, 2026, and anyone paying even casual attention can feel it. While we’re being pulled into another escalating conflict with Iran, while families are staring down rising gas prices, grocery bills that don’t make sense
To the Iranians, his fantasy deals signal his desperation to reach a deal that he can tout. They could reasonably conclude all they need is some gauzy window-dressing to keep Trump happy.

People feel like there’s a darkness that’s spread across America in the 15 months since Trump took office a second time. It’s being noticed all over the world, from the Pope to the leaders of our (formerly) allied nations, and is being embraced by dictators like Putin and MBS.
The BBC has found a pattern of spikes in trades on financial markets just hours, or sometimes minutes, before a social media post or media interview by the US president was made public.

Our president is insane. and I am just completely disassociating at this point.
This should be the official portrait in the Whitehouse!
One could liken this to Kissinger's "madman" theory of statecraft, except with an actual madman.
Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:
Alphabet: 8.01%

Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%

-70% of farmers can't afford all the fertilizer they need.
-6 in 10 say finances have worsened.
-94% say things are the same or worse.
This is what a war in Iran looks like for Nebraska farmers.
TRUMP--THE DUMBEST FUCK OF ALL THE DUMBFUCKS
“all the people who died through the roadside bombs, they are now walking around with no legs and no arms?”

And Republicans follow this stupid asshole? Good grief, the Republicans in the US government have a drastic mental health problem.
All of us need to be civil rights activists.
Don’t expect a wholesale collapse in Trump’s support. Some will leave, others have tied their conscience to his success. Those will double down, again and again. My new piece explores how humiliating the MAGA faithful only binds them more tightly to Trump.

24 hours ago: Trump says Iran will never close Hormuz.
Today: Iran closes it and fires on ships.

RFK Jr. has met with tons of CEOs and billionaires — even Kid Rock. But he's the Secretary of Health.

FARMERS WHO VOTED FOR TRUMP MUST BE STUPID AS HELL AND DESERVE WHAT THEY GET
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.
Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did.
