The excremental president claims his administration is eliminating waste, corruption, and unnecessary spending. Instead, those are precisely the attributes of his administration. theintercept.com/2025/05/20/k...

Trump loses again at the Supreme Court.

The attempt to slash funding for Medicaid in the proposed Republican budget is meeting strong opposition, even from some Republicans whose constituents rely upon it. Massive organizing needs to pry open this crack in the fascist consensus.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services has terminated a grant to the Arhoolie Foundation which was funding the digitization of Chris Strachwitz' papers. In terminating the grant, IMLS informed us that the project “no longer serves the interest of the United States.” What utter nonsense!

The idea that South African Afrikaners are in any way oppressed and deserve refugee status is so completely absurd that it comes off as the cruelest of jokes.

It's time for a United Front against Fascism, and even these guys can be allies in that.

As a Jewish atheist, I have little interest in popes. The new one is from Chicago but lived in Peru for a long time. www.cbsnews.com/news/new-pop...

A new film from Zeteo reveals the name of the Israeli soldier who murdered US citizen and journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin and also reveals the complicity of the Biden administration in covering it up. That soldier has since died, but he was following criminal Israeli policies.

Can we have a ban on brainless idiots holding high positions in the federal government? That makes more sense than purging trans people from the military.

Why can't more US politicians take a principled position on Palestine?

Israel is pursuing "a final solution" in Gaza. There is no other name for it. As a Jew who had relatives slaughtered by the Nazis during WW II, I see the Israeli government as the new Nazis.

From now on it is appropriate to refer to ICE as Brown Shirts 2025.

If you thought only non-citizens were at risk, think again and read this article. This is what fascists do. newrepublic.com/post/194557/...

The central organizing principle in capitalism is greed. Maximizing profit is just a euphemism for greed. What kind of society do you get from that? This one.

Israel, with massive support from the US and European governments, has been engaged in a genocide against Palestinians since 1948. To fail to recognize that is to be complicit in a holocaust of massive proportions.

The polls are out on the first one hundred days of our excremental president. He has the lowest popularity rating at that point of any president in at least 80 years. However, there is one group less popular, the Democratic Party. That means that there is a huge political vacuum in the USA.

Of course, our excremental president is attacking Ukrainian president Zelensky for refusing to accept Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine. Trump is obviously ignorant of the 1994 US, UK, and Russian agreement to guarantee Ukraine's territorial integrity.

That department has to be renamed the Department of Homeland Insecurity as they run amok over the tattered US constitution.

I just heard on the radio that Tesla's stock rose when Musk said he would return to running the company and only put one day a week into destroying the country with DOGE. Why would investors think that Musk's return would increase the value of their stock? I'd expect the opposite.

@hartmannreport.com I keep hearing Thom talk about the 1973 Arab oil boycott's effects on the economy. In fact, Knight Ritter investigated and found that there was no such boycott. It was announced, but the oil kept flowing. Big oil just used it to raise their prices and profits.

The excremental president calls us "lunatics who don't care about crime." Well, mr. president, we care about your crimes.

Vladimir Putin copies Israeli and US lame excuses for bombing civilians. To do so is still a war crime even if what he says were true, which it isn't. In Krivy Roh, he is defending a bombing of five residential buildings and a playground full of children. meduza.io/en/news/2025...

Why has it been so easy for Ukrainian forces to cross the Russian border? In a word, it's massive corruption in Russia. meduza.io/en/feature/2...

We had all better hope not to have more natural disasters for a few years. Florida voted for our excremental president. www.tampabay.com/ap/2025/04/1...

This song was written by Woody Guthrie about 75 years ago. It has been covered by many great singers. It needs to be played right now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rx-7...

Our excremental president wants to render US citizens to foreign jails if it's legal; it isn't. He wants to get rid of what he calls the worst of the worst. I call on him and Musk to self-deport themselves.
