Man, if the international criminal court has a warrant for your arrest, somewhere along the way something's gone awry in your life

We must not walk in fear, one of another. We will not be driven by fear into an age of unreason, if we dig deep in our history and our doctrine, and remember that we are not descended from fearful men.

Major stakeholders are in the dark about why certain products face tariffs and others don’t. Trump administration officials have given conflicting messages about the tariffs or have declined to answer questions at all. By @robert-faturechi.bsky.social

Syril and Dedra are the Todd and Margo of the Star Wars universe

“One can only hope that somewhere, professionals are ensuring that the devices of top U.S. officials are free from mercenary spyware and not being tracked. For the moment, the signs are not encouraging.”

Another popular move for these shitheels. Make a big obnoxious display of implementing some stupid, oppressive, unconstitutional action, but nary a peep when they get their asses kicked in a court of law and have to knuckle under.

Perhaps an uncomfortable truth: the number of Catholics who are currently making the "do you want to see a dead body?" joke is statistically not zero

Absolutely mind blowing cameos from CNN and MSNBC in that first episode of Andor S2

Everyone should watch @repyassansari.bsky.social speaking truths about Abrego Garcia to Laura Ingraham last night. She told Fox viewers *five times* that Trump is defying SCOTUS and that his renditions are illegal/authoritarian, which they never hear. My new piece: newrepublic.com/article/1942...

The Trump admin’s proposed State Department reorg is a realignment of diplomatic priorities that seems set to constrain U.S. soft power & reduce institutional capacity in key areas. Dani Shulkin, @tessbridgeman.bsky.social & @andrewpmiller.bsky.social unpack the proposal & its likely consequences:

These print-the-label-but-don't-drop-the-package-with-the-shipper types are a real scourge.

Newly installed, Trump loyalist watchdog (OSC) screws > 2,000 fired probationary employees. (Trump was able to replace watchdog without cause, contrary to Congress's will, thanks to recent SCOTUS precedents under ever-expanding "unitary executive" interpretations.) www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...

Hold your nose and call Don Bacon's office to offer some gratitude

Standing up against constitutional abuses must poll well. Who'd have thought?

This administration isn’t just reckless. It’s shameless. And if Congress doesn’t act now, it’s only going to get worse. Demand that your elected officials take a stand: indivisible.org/camp...

Miles Guo, an exiled Chinese billionaire best known for his ties to Steve Bannon, is in a Brooklyn jail awaiting sentencing following his conviction for orchestrating a massive fraud scheme. But Guo’s years of using his wealth to forge ties with people close to Trump appear to be bearing fruit.

So I wake up and read that the vice president killed the pope?

All this Easter debate about the "right" way to eat a chocolate bunny, and I've yet to hear from anyone that obviously it must be skinned and field dressed first.

So this whole tariff thing has been about the commercials dude is seeing on Fox at 1 AM

Sorry, we promised not to post much today but we had to make a special callout. We forgot to give a proper shoutout to a few places yesterday. Denver and Dallas Fort Worth, you broke records. You were incredible.

The back porch cam gets a lot of great moments

My main worry about Trump and his "drabinet" was that they'd kill us all through famine, poverty and disease, but plane crashes have really come on strong as a dark horse

I wonder which new warlord will seize it?

I knew these Anti-Trump protests were gaining momentum, but I just saw news footage of the Capitol today and my dog was there. Hilarious sign, btw

A pickleball court opened by a former cop has to be one of the most 2025-y stories so far

From an outside perspective, humans probably seem to be in a bit of a rut right now

Calling an audible for dinner, skipping BBQ chicken thighs and mac and cheese (tank top) for steak and seafood (polo). Feeling good about this path forward

Today, April 19, 2025, marks the 30th anniversary of the tragic Oklahoma City Bombing at the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. The most lethal domestic terrorist attack in U.S. history, it resulted in 168 lives lost, many of them children.
