even Fox News is having a hard time spinning Trump's first 100 days

Spain has declared a state of emergency after the nationwide blackout.

Movie you’ve seen more than six times, no Star Wars or Trek or LOTR

Sleepy Donny can't keep his eyes open for the Pope's funeral. Probably has a load in his Depends as well.

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

What an insufferable prick - get fucked, JD

Democrats can use the word dictator or tyrant if people think oligarchy is too complicated.

This is super hopeful. No where near moderately, in my view. Maybe the Economist is right. But in the First Trump administration it became clear to me, the US democracy is not properly designed to defend itself against a hostile takeover by the US president.

Our cover this week.

Bush was at 63% ??? Why? All he did in the beginning was pull out of Kyoto climate accords.

Brave "Warfighter" pounding his chest at a keyboard vs. Scared shitless "Warfighter" cowering in fear when "tourists" were strolling through the Capitol on Jan 6, 2021:

Even Pete Hegseth’s kids know this isn’t going to end well…

Rinse and repeat for the foreseeable future.

Do Republicans think it's normal behavior for a person to look forward to a funeral?

This is complete bullshit. Why would you pack $3000 in cash for any of that. Who was she with? Where was her Secret Service detail?

OMG

Please let JD only interact with Trump and people in the Trump orbit, this week.

We all know these things happen in three what will jd ruin next

Did MTG just call the Pope “evil”?

Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s bag, including $3,000 in cash, apartment keys, driver's license, makeup bag, blank checks, passport, is stolen from DC restaurant- www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/politics/homeland-security-kristi-noem-purse-stolen/index.html?cid=ios_app $3000 cash, is she a drug dealer??

Or heavy user or user that likes to buy in bulk or she likes to make use of the services of sex workers?

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

The New York Times declares dignity, professionalism, and courage in law firms “nearly impossible.” I suggest this framing exposes more about legacy media’s own problems than it does about the legal profession.

I read the New York Review of Books. Every single f***ing article about "academic freedom" or "the crisis of the university" seems to be contractually obligated to include a paragraph (or more!) about how the university has become too ideologically homogenous or something similar. Even now!

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

It’s so adorable that Pete Hegseth thought it was going to be *Pentagon leakers* who made him look bad. Bless his little heart.

Vance is extra going to hell for lying to Pope Francis

Now do Trump and Putin.

The President of the United States watched Disney’s Aladdin and identified with Jafar, the villain.

To prevent deer from being hit by cars Finland has tried using reflective paint. (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/avoid-deer-strikes-finland-painting-deer-antlers-reflective-paint-180949792/) File this under "solutions to modern problems that summon the old gods."

But her emails.

Quotas Police have been denying the existence of quotas forever Now ICE is destroying lives for quotas Even innocent people count Citizens too How many do they have to ruin for their numbers?

“It’s not my fault you couldn’t stop me”

He's describing the Republican Party.
