ICE agents in tactical gear chase down and tackle a U.S. citizen in L.A. After realizing he’s American, they just slink away. Their only explanation: “Why were you running?” Probably because two masked men with guns were trying to snatch him.

If Trump’s ambivalence for war feels familiar — Reminder: Trump ran in ‘16 as both for and against the Afghan war. As the war went on with American lives lost, Trump never committed to a strategy. Impulsively, he cut a sweetheart deal with the Taliban, setting 5000 free and got nothing in return.

Rest in peace, Gilbert. 💔

Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

Poem for today: Kristi Noem is Stephen Miller With hair extensions and tons of filler credit to Andy Borowitz

An advance look at “On Parade,” David Plunkert’s cover for next week's issue. #NewYorkerCovers

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

“Scott said, ‘You’re a fraud. You’re a total fraud' ... Musk then rammed his shoulder into Bessent’s rib cage 'like a rugby player,' Bannon said, and Bessent hit him back."

And he forgets, He condoned it!

"Veterans know the layoffs aren’t about saving money. They’re about weakening the institution and ultimately privatizing and gutting VA disability funding, as spelled out in Project 2025." share.google/pz6mLWSzZIYC...

Wow, this one Fox actually covered. But let’s see whether this gets any run on their network instead of just the website.

LMFAO 🤣🤣🤣 I SANG IT IN MY HEAD 🤣🤣🤣🤣

“Well, We’re All Going to Die,” Says GOP Senator in Defense of Medicaid Cuts Joni Ernst’s casual cruelty is an accidental bedrock of GOP politics: Death does not matter, for certain people. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Jake Tapper. What a fuckingly pathetic excuse for a journalist.

This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.

Thou shalt focus on the current president's throbbing insanity and dementia. The previous president is no longer president and so it no longer matters.

So if you suddenly try to break into Congress to murder the VP you've supported for 4 years because he won't break the law and the police shoot you, your family gets 5 million dollars? Do I have that right, humans?

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

RFK Jr starts having a tantrum as Chris Murphy details how he lied during his confirmation hearing about his anti-vax views

🤮

Democratic House Rep. Eric Swalwell isn’t having any of Kristi Noem being evasive and not answering the question about the photo of Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s doctored gang tattoo photo: “I have a bullsh*t detector.” 🔥

Rep. Julie Johnson to Noem: "Are you aware that ICE agent jackets are available on Etsy for $20? Anybody can throw a mask on and run around and terrorize people of color without any regard for the law because your agency does not have proper protocols to make sure your agents are clearly identified"

A reminder not to store red sauce in Tupperware.

Walz: When did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? Government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest.

Tommy Tuberville says his wife's homestead exemption established his residency in Alabama, but election records show both of them voted in Florida after that. And that's only the beginning.

Kevin Kiley refuses to talk to his constituents about their health care and social security. Because he WON’T protect it. So, I went to Folsom and talked to them.

Go to hell

This should be the top story in Axios’s morning read. But it isn’t. It’s the FIFTH top story. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/04/23/t...

Seriously.

I don't know who besides the White House needs to hear this, but spraying cheap, Chinese-made foam wall decorations with gold spray paint isn’t classy, it’s tacky as hell and prodigiously embarrassing Right now the Oval Office looks like the dumpster behind a Michael’s

Pappas: People are going to have to wait longer to apply for benefits or even get a question answered because they moved to fire half the staff at the Social Security Administration.

BREAKING: Pete Hegseth is said to have shared the details of the Yemen attack in a second Signal chat that included his wife and brother. Reminder: Pete Hegseth is an alcoholic. He's also...the Defense Secretary.
