This should get a Pulitzer. It's going to be an all-time classic.

Ghosts of Coups Past Haunt Trump CIA's Venezuela Ops From Iran to Chile to Iraq, even the most 'successful' regime change ops came with huge risks, unexpected consequences and downsides. Venezuela is no different.

What a disgrace. And what an embarrassment for @cnn.com.

In Ruins Strap in.

The shocking, disgusting, vile Washington Post editorial approving of Trump’s heinous, clandestine destruction of the White House East Wing doesn’t even mention that Post owner Jeff Bezos is a Trump supplicant who is donating money to his vulgar new “ballroom.” open.substack.com/pub/genewein...

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Home wrecker: Trump begins demolishing East Wing facade to build his ballroom. He’d promised not to “interfere” with the existing White House structure.

Easy-peasy: With a phone call, Putin appears to change Trump’s mind on Ukraine. Again. #TACODon

Journalists turn in access badges, exit Pentagon rather than agree to new reporting rules Journalists at the Pentagon turned in access badges and cleaned out their workspaces on Wednesday, the price for refusing to agree to new restrictions on their jobs at the seat of U.S. military power.

With the Letitia James indictment, the US is officially a banana republic now

Associated Press disputes Trump's false characterization of its legal fight over access The Associated Press is objecting to Donald Trump’s characterization of its ongoing legal dispute over access after the president incorrectly characterized the case in a public forum.

Peace in our time!!

MAGA: If you want to know what the rest of the world thinks of Donald Trump, here you go.

They think he's an idiot and a buffoon.

Because that's what he is.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Trump gave ‘an unusually meandering speech’ at #Quantico, which is really saying something. Translation: Off his rocker.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

Veteran assaulted by ICE: 'three days in federal custody with no charges, no phone call to my family, no access to a judge or an attorney, no shower, and no explanation for their actions. It is deeply troubling..'

“He is the most dangerous person ever. I had suspicions … about his mental decline and so forth, but now I realize he’s a total fascist. He is now the most dangerous person to this country…A fascist to the core.” former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Mark Milley to Bob Woodward.

Hegseth’s weird rant was merely the warmup act for Trump’s rambling, incoherent—bizarre even for him—speech, which went on and on, and on….

WHATEVER YOU DO, REMEMBER NOT TO CALL THE PRESIDENT A FASCIST

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

Cardinal Dolan calls the late Charlie Kirk 'a modern day St. Paul.' I'm not making this up. Cardinal Dolan joins the Catholic right's ever growing quest to lionize the late Charlie Kirk as a Christian martyr.

Kirk is not a modern day St. Paul, despite what Cardinal Dolan says. The only thing that such myth-making achieves is fomenting resentment, curtailing dialogue, and stifling action to otherwise prevent this tragedy from happening again, says John Grosso.

tl;dr to Bob Iger:
