Hakeem Jeffries accuses the Trump administration of misleading the public about casualties suffered in the war with Iran: They are breaking a sacred trust by apparently lying to the American people about the injuries being experienced by our heroic servicemen and women in the Middle East.

Texans, vote for Gina Hinojosa! She hangs out with Willie, she doesn't want to kill pregnant women and force feed Christian sharia law down your throats. It's time to push Greg right on out of the governor's mansion in Austin.

I have to do another video on the reflective pool debacle. They are trying to say it was sabotaged by the left. They are unable to see a flaw in their God king. The Trump administration dumped hydrogen peroxide to kill the algae and it stripped the paint.

“The scandal of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool is such a complete encapsulation—and such a perfect metaphor—of incompetence and corruption that it deserves to be both a long-remembered failure and a final straw for a restless, angry nation.“ www.americaamerica.news/p/what-does-...

Never in my life have I paid OVER $1,000 for a home heating oil delivery…until today. $1,049.74 for 198.9 gallons. Absolutely insane. Energy prices are completely out of control and families are getting crushed. This is what Trump’s chaos looks like. When does the pain stop?! 😡 #TrumpsGasFailure

Even if ivermectin did all those things (which it doesn't), hantaviruses don't replicate in the nucleus. We do actually need drugs that work against hantaviruses, but for that we need federal grants to support that research.

"I’m all in favor of using impeachment...but tell me first how you’re going to coerce the admin to provide documents and testimony, a problem that undermined every effort to impose accountability in 2019." @emptywheel.bsky.social comments on my George Conway pod: emptywheel.net/2026/04/17/d...

Democrats Need to Solve the Tactical Problems with Impeachment before Relying on It - emptywheel

Democrats are gung ho to use impeachment if and when they win back the House. But before they do that, they need to rebut the tactical means Trump used to stonewall in 2019.
