Some news from the man who lies about everything

Just a reminder that these are the people purporting to be outraged by antisemitism on campus. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

RFK Jr. should never have been confirmed, thanks to spineless Republicans… Mr. Cod Liver Oil should resign ASAP, it didn’t take long for him to start costing American lives with his disqualifying health beliefs, not based in science. He needs to go before something much more catastrophic develops…

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

The thing about this guy is that he’s a total product of right-wing affirmative action and you literally would never have heard of him if he was a liberal.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

This 👇. Totally true

In retrospect, it continues to seem like a really bad decision by the New York Times to push out Paul Krugman, their longtime columnist who won his Nobel Prize in the economics of trade and geography right before we have 4 years where trade policy is the #1 crisis in the country.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Sorry but it drives me absolutely insane when news organizations say "Department of Government Efficiency" without saying so-called. It is not a cabinet level department. Stop!

“.. Notably, this announcement was not made by Trump himself .. but was instead posted to the US Customs and Border Protection Website, suggesting the president isn’t keen to advertise what amounts to his second major tariff retreat in just a few days.” - Vital Knowledge

Try not to laugh.

Nuremberg 2.0 has the perfect catchphrase.

Man our failure to do any productive public investment during an entire decade of negative real interest rates is going to look awfully foolish in hindsight.

Bluesky post of the day.

Indeed. Guardian: ‘Completely out of touch’: golf and dinners for ‘king’ Trump as economy melts down www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

WAPO: “.. The exemptions appear to undermine Trump’s ‘economic revolution’ that seeks to move high-tech supply chains and parts suppliers inside the U.S. ..” 🤡 @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

When you are one hundred percent committed to battling anti-semitism:

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

Sufficient wealth is indistinguishable from anti-social personality disorder in most.

"Medicaid cuts to pay for tax cuts that mostly serve the rich." Credit to @steverattner.bsky.social for being crystal clear about the GOP plan. Every news outlets should follow his lead.

So the felon in chief is demanding that Amazon stop selling books that reveal the truth about him. And watch Bezos bend the knee. Amazon will cave. They all will. Whiteness has exposed itself to be hollow and thin skinned. The tyrant will never stop demanding more and more of your soul.

POLITICO: “.. Travel from Canada is expected to plummet 20 percent this year, costing the United States $3.4 billion ..” @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

This 👇 happens all the time at NYT. Political reporters write something based on lying/lunatic sources in Trimp WH, and those who cover subject areas (Econ, business, specific companies) then have to do stories that correct the bilge Maggie & Co put out

NEW: NOAA scientists are cleaning office bathrooms and reconsidering critical experiments after the Commerce Department failed to renew contracts for hazardous waste disposal, janitorial services, IT and building maintenance. By @lisalsong.bsky.social

This would mean impeachment if we had a Congress & Senate that functioned as our Framer’s & Constitution intended, this was so blatantly illegal… We have so much work to do!

“.. millions and millions of human beings screwing in little screws” lasted about a week. 🤡
