Trump supporters have their guy as President, complete control of Congress, a weaponized SCOTUS, FBI, and DOJ, and they're still outraged.

That's because MAGAs are inherently miserable people who will never understand joy.

That, and deep down they know their guy is a moron.

The Tariff on Hatred is Here, Trumpers. It's Time for You to Pay It's time to pay up, Trumpers.

This is the human cost of your MAGA cult delusion, and we're all paying for it now equally, however we voted.

Ultimately, fascism doesn't choose sides, authoritarians don’t spare voting blocs, and sociopaths don’t hold any loyalties.

Hi, I'm God, and I have a question!

To all the politicians, lawyers and media people who have bent the knee to King Donald, I want to ask them one thing:

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU LIVE WITH YOURSELVES?!?

Illinois Gov. Pritzker acts against El Salvador over Kilmar Abrego’s detention Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker has announced that the state will take punitive actions against El Salvador for holding Kilmar Abrego Garcia in custody, while a federal judge has ordered the Trump admini…

Governor JB Pritzker just announced that Illinois will be defunding investments in companies controlled by El Salvador to punish the country for holding American residents without due process.

More of this.

Pope Francis, who reached out to the margins of society, has died at 88 The pope was a strong advocate for the poor and the environment and a towering figure on the world stage, addressing not just Catholics but the men and women of our time.

Pete Hegseth is blaming everyone except himself for putting highly sensitive war plans in a Signal chat with his wife and brother.

The simple truth is Donald Trump should fire Hegseth immediately.

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this.

The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Pope Francis: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves, or who come from distant lands, bringing unfamiliar customs, ways of life and ideas! For all of us are children of God!"

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

When you stack your administration with incompetent sycophants, you can push things for a while. They’ll threaten your enemies and make all sorts of mischief.

But when shit goes down, it’ll go down fast. They’ll fall all at once like a house of cards because loyalty to a crook is all they got.

If Donald Trump illegally fires Fed Chair Powell, he will crash our markets and cause more economic pain for American families.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination.

He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech.

Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin.

So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

And many are outright geniuses, and engage in more productive activity in an hour than RFK Jr. will in his entire life.

My adult daughter Rachel works everyday, pays taxes, loves going to movies with her friends, and listens to awful (IMO) music.

Our U.S. Dept HHS has lost all of its humanity, compassion, and intellectual curiosity

It’s almost as though everyone in Trump’s orbit, inside and outside government, gets together on a (non-secure) Zoom call to decide “What’s the most corrupt and illegal thing we can do today?

And on some days they can’t reach consensus so they just go ahead and do them all.

A powerful ocean scene shows waves crashing against a row of buildings under a dark, stormy sky. Overlaid in bold white text: “How much would you pay to protect your coast?”

A square graphic with an aerial view of swirling ocean currents in teal and blue. Bold white text reads: “Only $21/year from the average taxpayer helps fund NOAA.”

A square infographic with a dark stormy ocean background. The white header text reads: “Your $21 funds these essential services.” Below are six dark blue boxes, each with a white icon and label: 1. Coastal Mapping – Detailed charts of shorelines, navigation hazards, and more 2. Weather Monitoring – Vital data for tracking storms, extreme heat, and drought 3. Marine Resource Management – Conservation of ocean life and sustainable fisheries 4. Coastal Resilience – Infrastructure that withstands storms and rising seas 5. Storm Research – Studies of severe weather patterns and impacts The graphic uses clean lines, oceanic tones, and emphasizes the small taxpayer cost for these vital environmental services.

Last one for Tax Day – NOAA 🌊

The average U.S. taxpayer contributes $21/year to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

💡 NOAA turns science into safety — for coasts, communities, & the climate. It helps safeguard lives, property, and ecosystems from rising seas and extreme weather.

Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

Thirty-eight of 43 experts cut last month from the boards that review the science and research that happens in laboratories at the National Institutes of Health are female, Black or Hispanic, according to an analysis by the chairs of a dozen of the boards.

Oh.

"This is about whether we have functional constitutional government in this country. If the IRS can go after you because of what you think or what you believe or what you do, we'd no longer live in a free country.“

Autism is not a disease and these kids are not damaged, despite what HHS Secretary Kennedy says.

Honestly I'm glad they picked Harvard to try out this novel "we're mad" legal theory of revoking tax-exempt status, given its infinite resources, deep network of powerful alumni, and law school attended by 142 sitting federal judges.

Good luck! 🫡

Before the election, I warned that there is no safe haven under authoritarianism.

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.

Americans of conscience must stand against this now.

Judge: 'Probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations The government sent several planeloads of alleged gang members to El Salvador, including 137 people under the act, the White House said at the time.

JUST IN: Judge finds 'probable cause' to hold U.S. in contempt over Alien Enemies Act deportations

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Congress can roll back Trump’s disastrous tariffs by passing new legislation that cancels them.

The problem, of course, is that Republicans are too weak to stand up to Trump.

Job openings are going down. Hiring is slowing. Continuing unemployment claims are the highest they’ve been in nearly 4 years. And the Trump-Musk agenda of chaos and bad economic policy will only mean more turmoil that the American people cannot afford.

Oh my god. Trump just apologized for destroying the retirement plans of millions of Americans as 401ks plummet.

Just kidding, he’s bragging about winning his seniors golf tournament.
