Sali Berisha—the allegedly corrupt leader of Albania’s opposition party— wants help from Donald Trump. And Berisha, or someone backing him, is paying big bucks to get it.

'I run the country and the world,' Donald Trump says in Atlantic interview. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

A lil' fire & brimstone from John ...read it all so you don't miss the distinction "I’m not speaking about those who have or will come to their senses; those with the humility and empathy to admit their errors; those who will be visible and vocal in their resistance to this Administration." #MomSky

Spontaneous applause breaks out when a man as brave, beloved, and deeply respected as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrives. As for Trump — silence. And this variety of silence is not golden.

Atlantic: What would happen if you accidentally got the wrong person (re: deportations) - a legal resident, or even an American citizen? Trump: Let me tell you that nothing will ever be perfect in this world. This should chill you to your core. We will not be acceptable casualties to fascism.

Trump has fired hundreds of scientists & experts who were compiling the US Climate report on how global warming is affecting the country. The National Climate Assessment is required by Congress - but is now in serious jeopardy www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/c...

This is bad. ⬇️⬇️

Proud of my nephew, and @rfkhumanrights.bsky.social Board Member, @joekennedyiii.bsky.social, for standing up for truth, justice, and the power of student voices. In times of fear, he reminds us: no one’s coming to save us, but us. The fight for democracy is now. 💪🏼 www.cornellsun.com/article/2025...

Kamala Harris is set to step off the sidelines and go after Trump on Wednesday in her first major address since leaving office. The former vice president’s return to public life, the day after Trump marks 100 days in office, will be at a San Francisco event encouraging women to run for office.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

Trump has set up a new club where CEOs, tech bros, and foreign oligarchs can pay $500,000 to join in order to get access to the Trump Cabinet who will all be there regularly. Just because the grift is all public doesn’t mean this isn’t the most corrupt White House in history.

NEW: Per multiple sources, the National Cancer Institute’s Board of Scientific Advisors has been entirely disbanded.

MAY 1st WE MARCH! STAND UP, SPEAK OUT! FIND AN EVENT NEAR YOU! maydaystrong.org EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE, ALL AT ONCE!

Time for SCOTUS to reverse the immunity thing, throw the criminal out of office, reinstate all past charges, and add on all the new ones. newrepublic.com/post/194481/...

I’m not sure America can even survive the damage we’ve sustained in such a short time. Despite our best efforts it may not be possible (at least in our lifetimes) to stop the bleeding, reverse course, and repair all that has been damaged since January 20th. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/for-americ...

Excellent summary of our predicament here from veteran reporter Mort Rosenblum. www.mortreport.org/reports/a-wa...

Just like being the “party of family values” and dating your cousin, MAGA wants it both ways

Sometimes I think Trump cultists use random words because, like the taste of migrant blood, they like the way it feels in their mouths

Great news, folks! After months of denying that they were going to cut Medicaid by $880 billion Republicans have now quelled that rumor By announcing they’re “only” going to cut $600 billion in benefits So that way, you know, only 25,500 people will die instead of 34,000 Hands Off Our Medicaid

Stagflation warning lights are flashing

ICE is now cracking down on CHILDREN. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials have now been ordered to target children. They are hunting unaccompanied immigrant children in operations nationwide, aiming to deport them or criminally prosecute them. CHILDREN. ICE is also…

Congrats to Canada on picking a Liberal government and rejecting the stink of Trumpism! Elbows up!

Sleepy Don is taking his nap while your 401ks get crushed and your grocery bill hits the moon! Terrible!

HHS Systems Are in Danger of Collapsing, Workers Say The purging of IT and cybersecurity staff at the Department of Health and Human Services could threaten the systems used by the agency’s staff and the safety of critical health data. www.wired.com/story/depart...

Asylum seekers, legal residents and applicants with dates in an immigration court are NOT UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS. Being a non-citizen does NOT make someone undocumented.

Trump lackeys saying Trump tariffs are strategic are full of it The Art of the Deal is a LIE It's all an illusion Uncertainty destroys economies

complete batshit insanity

Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

This is what courage looks like. Kudos to the team at 60 Minutes.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

My new piece in The Atlantic continues how to fight Putinization in America. Trump is accelerating his wide-spectrum attacks on the rule of law & on public & private institutions that might slow him. If legislators don’t fight now, they won’t be able to later. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

‘Enormous pain for no gain’: Trump admin ramps up bombing of Yemen www.msnbc.com/ali-velshi/w...

“It’s hard to see how Trump would have acted any differently if he were a Russian asset than how he has acted in the first 100 days of his second term.” Huh. You don't say. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...

@msnbc.com Jen Psaki is an intelligent person, but we need someone with more drive and chutzpah during this moment. Ali Velski could fill Maddow’s slot admirably.
