City leaders in Social Circle, GA, recapped last night a meeting with DHS that they say did not address any of their concerns regarding the ICE ‘mega processing’ warehouse the agency just bought.

A staggering study in ineptitude.

A REAL DISGRACE took place at the United Nations yesterday — Not one, not two, but three very sinister events! First, the escalator going up to the Main Speaking Floor came to a screeching halt. It stopped on a dime. It’s amazing that Melania and I didn’t fall forward onto the sharp edges of these steel steps, face first. It was only that we were each holding the handrail tightly or, it would have been a disaster. This was absolutely sabotage, as noted by a day’s earlier “post” in The London Times that said UN workers “joked about turning off an escalator.” The people that did it should be arrested! Then, as I stood before a Television crowd of millions of people all over the World, and important Leaders in the Hall, my teleprompter didn’t work. It was stone cold dark. I immediately thought to myself, “Wow, first the escalator event, and now a bad teleprompter. What kind of a place is this?” I then proceeded to make a Speech without a teleprompter, which kicked in about 15 minutes later. The good news is the Speech has gotten fantastic reviews. Maybe they appreciated the fact that very few people could have done what I did. And third, after making the Speech, I was told that the sound was completely off in the Auditorium where the Speech was made, that World Leaders, unless they used the interpreters’ earpieces, couldn’t hear a thing. The first person I saw at the conclusion of the Speech was Melania, who was sitting right up front. I said, “How did I do?” And she said, “I couldn’t hear a word you said.” This wasn’t a coincidence, this was triple sabotage at the UN. They ought to be ashamed of themselves. I’m sending a copy of this letter to the Secretary General, and I demand an immediate investigation. No wonder the United Nations hasn’t been able to do the job that they were put in existence to do. All security tapes at the escalator should be saved, especially the emergency stop button. The Secret Service is involved. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

oh my god lol -- Trump calls for UN workers to be arrested because his escalator didn't work yesterday

They didn’t vote for Trump to raise wages or expand healthcare or improve the standard of living in this country. They voted for him so that they could dunk on their enemies online.

Don’t take my word for it. Take theirs.

Log Cabin Republicans Disrupted Yasmin Williams’s Kennedy Center Performance - Washingtonian Staffers say center president Ric Grenell's office set aside passes for the group, which booed and heckled the musician.

Ric Grenell, Kennedy Center president, organized a claque of Republicans to heckle a musician critical of Trump. It's like junior high school

Trump to declare fentanyl “Weapon of Mass Destruction," per draft EO A copy of the draft was obtained and reviewed by The Handbasket.

SCOOP—Trump plans to issue an executive order designating fentanyl as a "Weapon of Mass Destruction," per copy of EO reviewed by me. Source at State speculates purpose is to designate cartels as terrorist orgs/justify military ops in Mexico/Canada.

Context/full text of draft only on The Handbasket:

Schumer’s argument that we’re not in a constitutional crisis until Trump disobeys a Supreme Court ruling is also a colossal abdication of Congressional authority and responsibility.

The admin has unconstitutionally usurped Congress’ spending authority. No court ruling is necessary.

you could say this about nearly every damn issue that republicans run on and theres no reason the opposition party and the media cant press the republican party to provide proof to back up the claims theyre using to seize power and ruin ordinary peoples lives

Wut.

After 5 years I have Covid for the first time. Today I watched 3 episodes of #WithLoveMeghan on @netflix.com and I've already soaked in epsom salts, sat out in my yard looking at nature, bought a white #LeCreuset Dutch oven on sale, & painted my nails. Thanks #MeghanSussex for self-care reminders!

No fraud

No fraud

This is nonsense. A district court decision holds just as much legal weight as a Supreme Court decision. The only difference is the district court’s ruling is appealable. But until you WIN an appeal a district court’s decision binds all parties, including the executive branch.

Ah. The good old town hall

Hassan grills Dr Oz about promoting a bunch of scam "medical" products on TV, including "raspberry ketones." She notes that "it seems to me you are still unwilling to take accountability for your promotion of unproven snake oil remedies to millions of your viewers."

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

News you can use! This is getting interesting.

We're approaching untenable territory here

Have you ever heard the line you go out fighting not you go out hiding? Well fucking done @ossoff.bsky.social

A concern I’ve heard from Senate Democrats: some worry if they support this CR, it’ll teach Republicans that they can write gov’t funding bills without Dems at the table knowing that enough Senate Ds will swallow them anyway. It could set the table for September funding debate.

Fox's Jacqui Heinrich asks Karoline Leavitt if it's time for Trump to do an Oval Office address and explain to Americans that they're in for short-term economic pain

Schumer: “Our caucus is unified on a clean April 11 CR that will keep the government open and give Congress time to negotiate bipartisan legislation that can pass.”

Schumer on Senate floor: "Funding the government should be a bipartisan effort, but Republicans chose a partisan path"

"Because of that Republicans do not have the votes in the Senate to invoke cloture on the House CR. Our caucus is unified" on the month-long CR

"Our caucus is unified," says Schumer.

Team Fight has won the CR battle in the Senate Democratic caucus.

CALL NOW: Tell Senate Democrats to Hold the Line Against the Extreme MAGA Continuing Resolution

🚨🚨🚨 ALERT: we are hearing from sources that there is a very serious danger that Senate Democrats are on the verge of folding on the MAGA CR. CALL THIS MORNING indivisible.org/resource/cal...
