the party of "a whole civilization will die tonight" fake-rending their garments over violent rhetoric is funnier than the entire history of saturday night live

what exactly is the challenge, he’s at 30% approval and 7 months away from being completely neutered, tell him to fuck off and reap good will

This is a position that should lead to expulsion in a Democratic majority

Finally, some good news: workers at Hachette are unionizing, and you can sign an open letter of support. This is the way! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

This morning at Hancock High, seniors headed to the floor of the gym to receive their caps and gowns, each from a teacher they had chosen. Stacy Campbell waited there, holding her student Israel Makoka's cap and gown. But he wouldn't come. He and his brother, Max, 15, had been taken by ICE.

this is an absolutely insane political party and we need to say so

"but republicans will never vote for impeachment" is a sign you just don't understand this shit. democrats need to fucking fight for what is right. what is right is removing a criminal corrupt president and his cronies. if the gop wants to go on the record backing this, LET THEM. over and over.

"a deranged man with a gun means the president should be able to build his gaudy ballroom" is the insane position of the republican party of america

Trump told 60 Minutes that Secret Service told him to get down. No, he fell. You can see here that Secret Service is trying to bring him to his feet. The press corps will accept his lies as true, however. I don't expect this to get more attention. It should, though, given how Biden was treated.

donald trump needs his 30 ft tall mechanical spider and he needs it now

democrats: if we win this fall we wont do the single most obvious thing to hold this administration accountable also democrats: we dont understand why its so hard for us to get our voters to show up

He quite literally won't shut up about a White House ballroom he can stay in for safety, what are you taking about?

Programming note: Celebrated the birth of our second son this weekend. 😊His big brother is over the moon, as are we! Everybody is happy and healthy. I’ll be taking off the next two weeks, then back through July, after which I’ll be off again for a while. Good luck out there!

fyi this is the kimmel comedy routine MELANIA DOES NOT WANT YOU TO SEE. definitely do not like and share it or else the MOST UNPOPULAR FIRST LADY IN HISTORY will be mad. youtu.be/GRjKhsJc95o

Counting tomorrow, Trump will have hosted a grand total of 4 state dinners over his two terms, the fewest of any modern president. Obama had 13. Reagan had 59! But, you know, without a ballroom we won’t even have a country.

The gaslighting will continue until the polls improve.

Morning. ☕ ICYMI: Every single one of Trump's nominees to lifetime federal judgeships has refused to say he lost in 2020 when asked directly by senators, using nearly identical + strangely worded characterizations of the election to avoid stating the facts. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

i hate that these people keep making me say (relatively) positive things about bush but i think its so stark how will ferrell literally made his career shitting on bush and bush never called for snl to be canceled over it

“helped”??

1. More thoughts on the failed attack on the White House Correspondents Dinner. • The president told 60 Minutes that the Secret Service told him to get down. However, video evidence shows that Donald Trump fell.

You are being robbed, America.

Fact-checking what happened at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.

We’re doing Kathy Griffin again?

Take a break from <waves vaguely> all this and let your brain soak up the amazingness of the Sombrero Galaxy, the stunning result of several cosmic collisions. [Also in this issue: will Andromeda really collide with us? The chance just went up.] badastronomy.beehiiv.com/p/the-specta... 🔭 🧪

Something tells me if Biden fell while being shuffled off the stage because of a threat on another floor the press would not have painted him as a bullet dodging Superman.

“'As Democrats, we don’t expect the media to take our side in any political battle because we fight our own battles, but we do expect them to take their own side in the fight for constitutional freedom,' Raskin continued."

the guy who came up with sleepy joe, krazy kamala and crooked hillary would like everyone to stop calling him names.

The Trump supporter who was dismayed by the Epstein connection didn’t get much media play at all. Funny how that works.

Trump joking about the attack on Paul Pelosi is all you need to know about White House accusations that Democrats encourage violence.

look at this horrible woman

dems should start ripping the ballroom just to keep him distracted, say the renderings are tacky and itll be the only thing he talks about for a week

Rule by morons means they think we're all morons.

Cole Allen’s manifesto revealed a mainstream liberal who felt compelled to act against a criminal regime and a system that doesn’t seem willing to stop them. This feels reminiscent of past cycles of violence where liberal democracy starts to fall apart jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-broken...

it's still pretty wild to me that pretty much ALL press outlets inherently assume this FCC "router ban" isn't some shakedown. Nobody that's gotten "conditional approval" has had to actually explain what they've had to do to get it. A bribe? A backdoor for ICE? Who knows?

Personally I think even hardcore MAGA has to be getting a little pissed off at Republicans treating Trump’s royal whims as the only crisis they’re willing to snap to action on. Does a guy who needs a second job to fill up his truck think the lack of ballroom requires urgent action?

A Catholic church I know of pulled out of an annual ecumenical service once because the Episcopalian church hired a woman priest. Now, look at this:

The only thing Mike Johnson has going for him is a press that treats him as if he’s not the worst leader and best toady.

clinton turned the page we got bush obama turned the page we got trump biden turned the page we got trump again maybe... stop?

I love the way they act like it’s Trump’s event now, when he’s skipped them all before this one.

Stories like this are precisely why Veep wouldn't work these days -- the real-life shit happening now is too ridiculous to satirize.

According to the gunman's manifesto he was using buckshot; if so, then if a bullet hit the agent, it wasn't from the gunman

Cannot stress enough the degree to which this guy was lightly brushed against by a septuagenarian congressperson and he behaved as if she had beaten him into a coma with a pipe.

Maybe the most Democrat thing ever is to refuse to represent the vast majority of voters who don’t want AI at all by promising to help them keep their energy costs low while never once addressing the fact that AI promises to destroy those voters’ jobs. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

every other president, even a pos like bush, would get some kind of wave of sympathy after a thing like this. but the gop decided to elect a fucking sociopath. twice. and they cant figure out why people just dgaf.

Yeah, Fox News -- when it's not helping to push Trump's ballroom -- is going ALL IN on getting Jimmy Kimmel fired today.

Completely agree - this is a point I made in today's newsletter, specifically with Kash Patel. And I will make in today's video as well. This many incompetent people cannot stage something to this degree. The president can barely read a teleprompter. lni.media/p/there-s-no...

Whenever I see a video of one of our tech billionaires at some conference where they hold forth like the visionary gods they imagine themselves to be, I can’t help but think we are so cooked that these maladjusted psychopaths now own our political system.

Folks, impeachment shouldn't be a day 1 priority, because it's purely symbolic/rhetorical; Trump isn't getting convicted in a 51-49 senate and unless the Dems do take the Senate he isn't even getting tried. Accomplish things! Legislate! Investigate! Sue!

I hate to break it to you guys, but Rob Schneider is wrong. Jimmy Kimmel's contract runs through May of next year. He signed a one-year extension in December.

I’m sure we could open the Strait of Hormuz if only Trump had a ballroom and Jimmy Kimmel was fired.

Confused here if the Mar-a-Lago ballroom is supposedly as secure as Trump's dream ballroom, or does the presidential pop in wedding package transcend security concerns?

When your assassination conspiracy theory is just the plot of Nine Inch Nails' 2007 album "Year Zero"

Maybe the ballroom will be built just in time to hold the televised trials in.

The Trump administration is launching a new program to address the epidemic of gun violence in America. Under the program, every school, concert venue, house of worship, etc. will be allocated funds to build a ballroom.

To describe Trump accurately will always sound to some like incitement www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/o...

If you're wondering just how out of touch Dem leaders are, well. If he wants to bring down the cost of living, stopping the guy who's causing it to skyrocket might be a priority.

Keep coming back to Trump saying how when he was hustled offstage he wanted to stay and see - he stressed that desire to watch what was happening on 60 minutes — it excited him, the violent chaos, he didn’t want to miss a second, like it turned him on, gave him a rush.

GO(P)ebbels Imagine being a parent of school-age children today in America and hearing this statement.

Trump trying to immediately exploit guy with a gun and a manifesto to promote his pet project so obviously feeds false flag conspiracies it almost seems intentional. I think he likes his opponents preoccupied exploring rabbit holes.

the fact they prepared 2,600 dinners for this orgy of corruption is another scandal

hakeem jeffries is expert level on "can't read the room" thehill.com/homenews/hou...

You’d really think the WHCD security incident was the red wedding based on how Republicans are fear mongering and using it to divert attention from their plethora of governing failures.

this is EXACTLY why donald trump needs a 30 ft tall mechanical spider to ride around on and why its the only way to prevent these things from happening

Can you imagine how Republicans would have mocked Obama if he tried to so shamelessly milk any of the foiled plots against him for political gain? Fox News would have definitely worn out a cry baby graphic.

Brendan Carr could not shut up about Chinese ownership of TikTok when he was trying to help Trump offload it to his billionaire buddies but when Saudi and Chinese cash back a rich Trump-donor acquisition of a major studio, there will be no questions asked

A long long time ago everything was very densely packed. It was all in there, luckily enough, although we might ponder what there was. Then, suddenly, BANG, all at once, everything was everywhere. Without even meaning to, we had the universe, which is a concept humans made up to mean everything.

That this most violence horny administration is trying to pin the current climate on Democrats is entirely predictable.

Conspiracies aren't just for the right! I wrote about the baseless rumors the attempted shooting was staged, and why the dinner should be changed - or scrapped - altogether. lni.media/p/there-s-no...

BREAKING: Man yelling in theater demands audience members show some decorum and stop criticizing him so loudly

Lovely waxing gibbous moon tonight.

gas is over $4/gallon

to be fair we (liberals, democrats) should have talked a lot more about how the right constantly entertained lurid fantasies of killing, hanging the first black president of the united states and how it was supercharged by things like the birther movement and its spokesman... donald trump.

The fact that the gop landed on “president king deserves a ballroom” as the talking point from this proves the entire party should be locked in a mental institution

That photo of her hand on the back of his head! NYT on Sergei Brin and his newly powerful girlfriend, "a Trump-loving gut-health influencer" www.nytimes.com/2026/04/27/u...

fucking snowflakes you know what gives us a right to be "overly critical" of a fascist and call him "horrible names" the fucking first amendment. so blow it out of your collective asses.

The only way we're gonna get these gas prices down is if we...**lowers sunglasses**...build that damn ballroom.

Do we know if the Secret Service agent who took a bullet to the vest was from the suspect or another agent?

Everyone focuses on Trump’s fury when Obama mocked him at the WHCD, but he was also furious that the administration ignored his offer to build a ballroom a few years earlier. The obsession really dates back and as with much of his psychosis, Obama figures prominently.

I'm caught between not believing this particular incident was a false flag while acknowledging that false flags are definitely in the authoritarian bag of tricks. So, all things considered, I'm sympathetic to people wary of the official version of anything these days.

Being so wildly unpopular that you and your friends need 7-inch thick glass to hide behind isn’t the flex Mike thinks it is.

We interrupt the overlapping Trump failure news cycles to complain that the problem is reporting on how bad he is.

Do I think the president, forever an opportunist, would brazenly use any event to promote one of his unpopular projects? Yes, I do!

Dunno. Seems like gothic horror to me.

Don’t worry, for the midterms Republicans are laser focused on the ballroom table issues that matter to real Americans.

Hypothesis/informed guess: The President told them to file this overwrought tweet in court today, and it took them until after 11 p.m. to find attorneys so lacking in self-respect as to be willing to sign it.

Why do I envision a scenario where Trump forces the White House press association to have their dinner at his house, charges them more than the Hilton for less capacity, and then at the last minute gets mad at some news story and cancels the whole thing.

NEWS: CBS News London bureau chief Claire Day is out. A memo this morning says the the bureau will be under new leadership, with a Foreign Editor overseeing international coverage. Bari Weiss just hired the WSJ's Shayndi Raice, whom one source called a "raging Israel-First Zionist" for the role.

The AI facilities can use as much electricity as tens of thousands of homes and require millions of gallons of water each year to cool the computer systems running continuously inside.

The most delightful outcome would be all of their assumptions backfiring spectacularly.

people lack confidence in democrats because they dont fight for things. people are right.

Dems can't even radicalize themselves.

I don't know if this means anything, but I find this strange.

Reasonably confident the reason Trump is going after Kimmel yet again is he wants to see if the new CEO will play ball with him.

President boat bomber clearly abhors violence.

What an absolute POS

what is it like for you guys doing PR work for jd vance for free?

i was at that nats/padres game that ended early because of a shooting and no one gave a shit or built me a ballroom, you probably dont even remember it happened
