Trump: "They attacked the reflecting pool.   They viciously attacked it, cutting it with probably box knives, knives or box knives, uh, box cutters." Fact-check: Expert findings show that the Reflecting Pool deterioration was the result of a botched installation job rather than vandalization.

Looks like Trump's bold strategy of committing war crimes has once again failed to win over the Nobel Peace Prize committee. Tough crowd.

Not happening, Donald! Just days after claiming it would be a “great discredit” if he didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize, the prize went to South African anti-apartheid lawyer and human rights judge Navi Pillay.

ICE agents fired into the back of a car with a 5 year old inside, trying to arrest a guy. Miraculously, she survived. If you're not furious about what happened in the Bronx yesterday, you're not paying attention. FUCK ICE.

At this stage it doesn't matter to me if this guy is cosplaying. I want a person who talks like this and then promises to back it up to be the next president. If there's somebody who winds up being more convincing than him in the next year or so, I'll vote for that person instead.

Here's some history the US Supreme Court doesn't want you to think about. In April 2026, SCOTUS effectively ended the Voting Rights Act. The decision has startling parallels with Plessy v. Ferguson, the decision that established “separate but equal" and cemented Jim Crow.

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

A naked, gold-covered Trump statue has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It’s called “Orange Plague,” also known as “King of Injustice,” and shows him sitting on another man’s shoulders holding an enormous golf club. Covered in reportedly 23-karat gold, of course.
