More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

If you wanted a visual frame of reference, I am 6’4” and 216 lbs (and currently what I would consider “out of shape” due to not being able to play soccer for the last three months)

Donovan Mitchell is 6'3" and weighs 215 lbs.

Pete Hegseth threatens military actions against Iran

History will record that Pee Wee Hermann Goering here was the saddest discount fascist of all time. Go spray paint your dome again, you greasy dipshit.

would love to read a portrait of rubio the person, who seems to be the kind of vacuous, amoral ambition addict who excels in tyrannical regimes

"So it's not that they won't be subject to tariffs geared at reshoring, they'll just be under a different regime. It's shifting from one bucket of tariffs to a different bucket of potential tariffs." -U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer on the electronics tariffs

beyond parody — the White House cites Trump’s “frequent victories in golf events” as evidence of his health

This is disgusting. Someone set fire to Shapiro’s home while he and his family were sleeping. I hope this person is caught quickly and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

KARL: You're saying that big tariffs on things like laptops & all those iPhones built in China, they're temporarily off but they're gonna be coming right back in a month? LUTNICK: Correct. That's right. Semiconductors & pharmaceuticals will have a tariff model in order to encourage them to reshore

The governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, said he and his family were evacuated from their home early on Sunday after an arson attack that significantly damaged a section of the governor’s residence.

“As is evident, simply by looking at him, Dear Leader is in exquisite health, having the trim body of an athletic 23-year-old, the mind of an inquisitive genius, an the couth of the most refined men. Truly, the most perfect human walking among we lesser mortals. Praise God!” --The Court Physician

Fox needs to be permanently shut down!

Oof. We’ve fallen so far, so fast.

From Fox Business analyst, after Howard Lutnick said this morning on the Sunday shows that the tariff exemptions on tech were only temporary.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

This can’t happen soon enough. He’s an aspiring, modern-day Heinrich Himmler.

Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg.

Sumy 💔 A family mourns the loss of a loved one. 21 people killed and at least 20 more injured as of the current information. Today is an important church holiday in the Easter Orthodox tradition. Many people were headed to church in Sumy this morning...

The aftermath of the Russian missile strike on Sumy this morning. 21 people dead. 83 people injured, seven of them children. Rescue works continue.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal—convicted on 34 felony counts of fraud. He is lying, and he is manipulating the stock market too. At his best, he enriches himself, the billionaires who back him, and the members of Congress who trade with him. Not you. Not me. Not the people.

Muslims don’t recognize Jews as God's chosen people, Jews don’t recognize Jesus as the Messiah, Protestants don’t recognize the Pope as the leader of the Christian world, and Evangelicals don’t recognize each other at Hooters.

Bernie Sanders made an appearance at Coachella to introduce Clairo. "The future of what happens to America is dependent on your generation. Now, you can turn away and you can ignore what goes on, but if you do that, you do that at your own peril.” Love this dude!

happy ten year anniversary to this post

RFK Jr's always going on about "healthy" and what he means is a mixture of nihilism and eugenics, that public health and medicine are pointless because "unhealthy" people are going to (and deserve to) die anyway. Never mind the kid's death was easily preventable. Call them "unhealthy" and move on.

DOGE is failing on its own terms, which were already misleading. The numbers they toss out don't account for the effects of the cuts. The deep cuts to the IRS alone cost $1.6T over 10 years via reduced revenue. Cuts to research like NSF and NOAA will cost even more. www.cbpp.org/blog/on-tax-....

whoever did this belongs on Rushmore (via www.paloaltoonline.com/technology/2...)

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism — full stop. I’m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

How Fox this morning frames Russia’s latest missile attacks against civilians: “Both sides now accusing each other of violating the 30-day cease fire agreement.”

You can tell what Bernie is doing is working because it’s making the New York post furious

A very, very good question.

Trump has been trying to bully Maine Governor Janet Mills. A fight he is not winning. Her unwillingness to back down, similar to Boston Mayor @wutrain.bsky.social, is a lesson that could be well learned by some universities and law firms in our midst. 1/ www.bostonglobe.com/2025/04/12/s...

NEW: I confirmed w/ CBP that the email @nicolemicheroni.bsky.social receive telling her to self-deport is real, not a scam. It's also is very weird and likely causing fear and chaos. I spoke w/ Micheroni—a US citizen and immigration attorney—about her experience. www.wired.com/story/homela...

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Some horrifying details on the white supremacist book purge at the Naval Academy library: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

The Trump administration doesn’t want to bring him back. The Supreme Court knows this, and could have been explicit about what they have to do, and didn’t ballsandstrikes.substack.com/p/the-suprem...

An Apprentice producer weighs in on Maher getting used by Trump: “I assure you Trump is laughing and telling everyone around him how easy it was to manipulate Bill… Trump’s superpower is telling whoever he’s with what they want to hear…”

I need this cow at every Planned Parenthood!

I have a new favorite Reddit post.

BREAKING: Famed Economist Paul Krugman just told Ari Melber: "This Tariff pause is [still] a tariff rate that is higher overall than Smooth-Hawley. This is a bigger shock to the economy than any trade policy in any country’s history."

Fed up of this hypocrisy!

Trump just totally ignored Cheryl Hines at UFC 🤣….love this for her!
