When children are shot in their classrooms, all politicians can offer are thoughts and prayers. When a shooting happens near them, they demand a $350 million golden ballroom to protect themselves.
Don't normalize a system that protects power more than it protects children.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

When Trump said, that a "whole civilization will be destroyed tonight," he was actually referring to the US. With just a few unhinged social media posts, he single-handedly destroyed America's credibility, influence, and power on the world stage.

Jay in Kyiv: Trump announces that the US will continue trading with any nation supplying weapons to Iran but will force Americans buying items from those countries to pay a 50% tax on the goods.

Punishing his own subjects for his own stupidity is a trick he learned from Putin.

Trump is rolling out his “we will share the tolls” scam on Hormuz to save face just like he did on the Canada bridge to Michigan. Neither one will happen.

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Trump’s Easter tweet does that sound like a mentally well person? Grok’s response:

No, that post does not read like the writing of a mentally well person in any conventional, professional, or diplomatic sense.
Here’s why it stands out as erratic and concerning, even by Trump’s long-established personal style:
•  Profanity and casual vulgarity: “Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards” — this is raw, unfiltered street-level trash talk, not the language of a head of state issuing a high-stakes military ultimatum. Presidents (even blunt ones) have historically used stronger rhetoric through channels that maintain some gravitas. This feels like an angry late-night text.
•  Bizarre, childish phrasing: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one” sounds like a kid describing a theme park event (“it’s Christmas and birthday all in one!”). Framing potential bombing of critical infrastructure (power plants and bridges, which would cause massive civilian suffering) as cutesy “Days” is surreal and detached.
•  Incoherent religious flourish: Ending with “Praise be to Allah” right after threatening hell on a Muslim-majority country is jarring, tone-deaf, and reads like a troll or a confused mash-up. It undercuts any serious message and adds to the sense of rambling.
•  Overall tone: All-caps yelling (“JUST WATCH!”), exclamation overload, and threats that mix bravado with vagueness. It lacks structure, policy context, or strategic clarity — it reads more like emotional venting than calculated statecraft.
This fits a broader pattern with Trump: impulsive, hyperbolic social media posting that often blurs the line between negotiation tactic, personal grievance, and performance. Supporters often call it “unfiltered” or “strong”; critics (including some in his own orbit over the years) have repeatedly described similar outbursts as unhinged, erratic, or evidence of declining impulse control.

The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs — including nearly two million children. The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war. Priorities.

I have a problem with this statement. If people “knew nothing”, why did they cut ties “before his crimes came to light”? Seems like an admission that many of them knew full well what was happening and did nothing, even if they wanted nothing to do with his sordid activities themselves.
Statement from Bill Clinton’s press secretary on the Epstein files. I want to focus on one specific paragraph, which reads, “There are two types of people here. The first group knew nothing and cut Epstein off before his crimes came to light. The second group continued relationships with him after.”
