With no publicity at all, HBO quietly released the George Clooney - produced documentary about the Ohio State scandal. Gym Jordan is an absolute disgrace.

The HBO documentary Surviving Ohio State is worth watching and even if you thought you knew about Jim Jordan’s role in the OSU abuse scandal, you won’t be able to look at Jim Jordan the same again after watching it.

FALLON: “.. The White House is now claiming that over 250,000 people attended the parade. Yeah, it was an estimate, give or take 250,000.” @thr.com www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/l...

Seems relevant.

Given Donald's intelligence, it is unlikely that he knew any math classes that weren't remedial.

1. Trump and his Republican allies say their budget cuts are targeted at waste, fraud, and abuse But Trump's new 1,223-page budget proposal, quietly released on Friday afternoon, reveals the real target: Poor children

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding. Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

BREAKING: ICE deported a Burmese man who doesn’t speak English to South Sudan—a country he’s not from and on the brink of civil war. He refused to sign English-only papers. They deported him anyway—with 11 others. No hearings. No translators. Court order ignored. This is state-sponsored kidnapping.

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

Once a foreign government can openly give the president a half-billion-dollar plane as a personal gift, there’s no red line left between a democracy and a full-blown kleptocracy. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/corruption...

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

Well done @jennifertaub.com. Must watch!👇

This is a beautifully laid out case of the dangerous double standard we are witnessing related to competency.

Please read this.

Russia isn’t winning. They’re burning through men, tanks older than your dad, and begging North Korea for troops. That’s not strength—it’s desperation. We didn’t let them win the Cold War, and we won’t let them fake a win now. youtu.be/lvVI64jVXuI?...

This is bizarre, even for Trump.

Thank you, @bradleywhitford.bsky.social, for these wise words: “Despair is a luxury our children can’t afford, and action is the antidote to despair, and we need to be the change.” American women are in severe danger. We have to be actionable. Our children are counting on us. #MomSky

Strange that trumpers said things were bad under Biden

"Hegseth’s aides had warned him a day or two before the Yemen strikes not to discuss such sensitive operational details in his Signal group chat, which, while encrypted, is not considered as secure as govt channels typically used for discussing highly sensitive war planning and combat operations."

I would add it’s so incredibly hard to get in this kind of legal trouble when you’re an affluent white man with very powerful friends…. Trump had to work to get here.

Start with locking up Stephen Miller!!

So women should just make babies??

To stay atop the tangle of legal challenges involving Trump, the best source is this new Ryan Goodman Substack. Here’s its first installment: justsecurity.substack.com/p/april-17-s...

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

I'm sorry. I don't know this guy, but WTF. People are actually writing about the president's targeting of law firms across the country in a brazenly unconstitutional and retaliatory way like he's a guy winning a bunch of bets at the races?

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

Exactly. He’s a malignant narcissist, a narcissistic sociopath, a megalomaniac. It’s all about this. Some of us tried to warn everyone.

Hands off protest in very red Redding, CA. Estimate of 800+ attending. Lots of honking horns from passerby's

I find it outrageous as well.
