I just turned to my husband and said, Look at their joy! Imagine the joy when we get rid of Trump? People are going to be drunk for days!

Pope Leo XIV speaks six languages and has four degrees from Catholic universities.

Sean Hannity is a college dropout.

Democrats are still on the cusp of handing the Governor's office to a Republican because they can't get out their own way. Swalwell is a pig and let every bad thing happen to him from now to the end of time. But the bigger problem of too many candidates who won't drop out remains either way.

I don't care if he resigns his seat--he's not my congressperson-- but he needs to drop from the Governor's race like, yesterday. He's going to fuck this up and we're going to wind up with Steve Hilton 🤮

I can't believe the US govt is posting things like this.

Every fucking day with these people. Every day.

I'm all for the American pope. Sort of not a fan of popes in general, but I can get behind this guy.

Improvisation? More like a plastic bag in a tornado.

NYT: Iran War Live Updates: Trump Escalates Threat to Hit Iranian Power Plants After U.S. Rescues Downed Airman President Trump used an expletive-laden social media post to taunt Iranian leaders, saying that the United States would attack if they did not fully reopen the Strait of Hormuz.

NYT: President Trump on Sunday escalated his threats to bomb Iranian power plants within the next two days and taunted the country’s leaders in an expletive-laden social media post. Mr. Trump, seemingly emboldened by the successful U.S. rescue of an American airman in Iran over the weekend, issued a new ultimatum to Iran to end its chokehold over the Strait of Hormuz, a major Persian Gulf waterway for the transport of oil and gas, by Apr. 6. If Iran’s government did not, he said, U.S. forces would target the country’s energy infrastructure, which supplies power for millions of civilians. “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” Mr. Trump wrote on social media. The president has previously postponed his deadline to attack twice and the Omani foreign ministry said on Sunday that officials had discussed how to reopen the Strait of Hormuz with Iranian counterparts without reaching a definitive agreement.

“Praise be to Allah,” Mr. Trump added, before signing off in all caps. Iran has threatened to retaliate by intensifying its attacks on critical infrastructure in Israel and Arab states that are allied with the United States. An escalation could further derail the lives of civilians throughout the region and add to worries about the global economy, which has been rattled by soaring energy prices since the start of the war. Over the past two days, the U.S. military has been in a race with Iranian armed forces to find the missing airman after an F-15E jet was shot down over Iran on Friday, in the first known instance of a U.S. combat aircraft since the start of the war. The plane’s pilot was quickly rescued. But a second officer was stranded in Iran and injured in the incident. American commandoes found the airman deep inside Iranian territory under the cover of darkness.

The New York Times deleted Trump’s “open the fuckin’ strait” line to make him look less insane

Their write-up falsely says his post says only “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!!” and “Praise be to Allah”

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.

This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

What speech was he better off for haveing given? Have there been any that aren't trainwrecks?

Just wait until you see the flag flying over Alito’s house tonight, it’s going to be a doozy

Alito is the American dream—in a single generation, he went from the son of immigrants to sitting on the highest court in the land, where he gets to opine about how more recent immigrants shouldn’t have rights

Which will be even better when he goes down in flames and is forced to watch it live. I love this for him.

🤣 @elienyc.bsky.social is making my whole day with his commentary.

Trump doesn't own the White House. He doesn't own the legal system. He has no right to ignore the Constitution. He doesn't own NATO or America's historic allies. He doesn't own the military. He doesn't own the U.S. Treasury.

Not sure why they didn't show her in her natural habitat (stoop in Charlestown circa 1994) with a Marlboro red in her hand. This is the city I grew up with!

We are being reminded that a fundamental issue of our day isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”

It’s who our government actually works for.

Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires? Or should it work for the rest of us?

This needs to be said over and over and over again...

We were all saying that meeting up today was important for our mental welfare. Personally, I think it's going to take general strikes to make the changes we need. Perhaps the results of the midterm elections won't make that necessary. I sure hope so, either way we still have a lot of work to do.

I'm so very sad to read of his death.

😂

When we act like cowboys, when we coerce and bully other countries (including our allies), China starts to look like the more reliable and predictable partner. In the long-term, that is bad for American national security interests.

If Donald Trump wants to steer Iran's leadership away from fundamentalist Islam, he must deploy an army of beautiful young research assistants to convert them to pseudo-Christianity.
