Our rapacious leader is a deeply deranged man. Stomping all over the legacy of an assassinated President. It's horrific.

A CNN investigation reveals Russia likely provided crucial satellite information about U.S. bases, giving Tehran a major advantage in the war. And not a word from Senile Satan.

Americans really don’t understand how evil Canadians view this rhetoric. We think it’s just “Trump being Trump” and trolling for lulz, but Lutnick here is threatening the sovereignty of our closest ally and biggest trading partner. This is a catastrophe, not easily remedied.

As President Trump imposes tariffs on goods from around the world, China is casting itself as the champion of free trade. Canada’s decision to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, becoming the second nation to do so, drew praise from the first.

America's roughly 1,100 billionaires (and 1 trillionaire) are collectively worth a record $9.24 trillion. The wealth of the bottom half of the US, roughly 65 million households? $4.3 trillion. It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of wealth concentration to continue.

OOP New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!' www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
Screenshotted excerpt from linked article reading as follows:

"In public, Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. has cultivated a reputation for care and caution. The papers reveal a different side of him. At a critical moment for the country and the court, the papers show, he acted as a bulldozer in pushing to stop Mr. Obama’s plan to address the global climate crisis.

When colleagues warned the chief justice that he was proposing an unprecedented move, he was dismissive. “I recognize that the posture of this stay request is not typical,” he wrote. But he argued that the Obama plan, which aimed to regulate coal-fired plants, was “the most expensive regulation ever imposed on the power sector,” and too big, costly and consequential for the court not to act immediately."

I’m sorry he got so blackout drunk they had to ask for SWAT door busting equipment?!
On multiple occasions in the past year, members of his security detail had difficulty waking Patel because he was seemingly intoxicated, according to information supplied to Justice Department and White House officials. A request for “breaching equipment”—normally used by SWAT and hostage-rescue teams to quickly gain entry into buildings—was made last year because Patel had been unreachable behind locked doors, according to multiple people familiar with the request.
