Yes, those pesky facts. Some people don’t even want to acknowledge that there is something complex going on. I am not a national security/geopolitical expert, but I will express my opinions. 😎 Vaccinated. Pro-dogs — my dog’s name is Maverick—🫘

I am being told that wearing an AR-15 rifle lapel pin is indicative of Tren de Aragua membership.

Four House Dems flew to El Salvador to fight for Abrego García, the man the MAGA regime forcibly removed without due process and imprisoned in another country. They are: @robertgarcia.bsky.social (CA) @maxwellfrost.bsky.social (FL) @repdexteror.bsky.social (OR) @repyassansari.bsky.social (CA)

Vietnam allows the plan to build a Trump Hotel in Vietnam, as a deal to lessen tariffs from the Orange Turd.

All facts

BREAKING NYT: Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer. The info included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting Houthis. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

The American tourism industry is going to get absolutely smoked

Note that Trump asked for IRS investigations in his first term too: Strzok, McCabe, Comey, and he interfered directly in IRS investigation of Hunter Biden. This did not come up in Jack Smith's challenge to Trump's immunity claim, tho I raised it at the time.

Remember the 6 men who forcibly removed Dr. Teresa Borrenphol from the Coeur d'Alene town hall? They’ve been arrested and charged! www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

President Putin announced an Easter truce in Ukraine on Saturday, in a move that was met with scepticism in Kyiv as attacks continued

investing in university research made us the leader in science, medicine, and technology it’s not a cost.

This from @jdcivicscience.bsky.social nails why small town, red America is not turning on Trump.

A conservative federal judge issued a dire warning on Thursday: The government must bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the US, or else the country will descend into lawlessness.

“The Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index is probably the best metric to understand if the U.S. is ‘bringing manufacturing back home.’ And it's absolutely cratering: -26.4, one of the lowest readings in memory.”

Florida: Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez (20) is being held in the Leon County Jail, charged with illegally entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien." Lopez-Gomez is a U.S. Citizen, born in the USA. He showed his U.S. birth certificate in court. The judge held him in jail anyway. This is Fascism.

Trump reportedly blew up over a secret Pentagon briefing that included Elon Musk, demanding he be shut out: “What the f**k is Elon doing there? Make sure he doesn’t go,” according to Axios. #WEARETHEMEDIA

Guys? I had to add an Axios story to my DOGE debunking list today. I think the story is substantially wrong and it's Axios and all. But it's still a debunking. That's what we've come to. EVEN Axios can debunk DOGE. www.emptywheel.net/portfolio-it...

If a questionably analyzed satellite image that came from Google Earth LAST YEAR ends up being what brings down Trump & Co. I'm really not sure how I'm going to feel about it. Relieved (maybe?) but I'll be holding my nose the whole way...

That’s a good question. Can a White House official be sued for slander?

This is the dollar since “liberation day”

Everything is breathtakingly stupid

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

Can’t believe it’s #america 💔
