He’s trying to bury his tax returns just like he’s trying to bury the Epstein Files. This is the most obscenely corrupt and morally bankrupt administration in American history. And it’s not even close.
Trump forces IRS to quietly shield him and his family from tax audits FOREVER - as president escapes potential $100m bill trib.al/j0f5AFv

The Spanish Flu caused 26% of the U.S. Army to be combat ineffective in 1918-1919. Most estimate say it killed somewhere around 65,000 service members.
Breaking news: The military will no longer require U.S. troops to receive the annual flu vaccine, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, rolling back what he described as “overreaching mandates that only weaken our war-fighting capabilities.” wapo.st/4dZY8UL

Just a reminder: Fuck Alex Jones.
One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them. The graves of multiple children have been defaced. One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

Bibi didn’t just torch support for Israel in the US; he squandered every shred of goodwill Israel ever had, made the country an international pariah, and led the slaughter of thousands of innocents. One of the most disastrous leaders any country has seen in my lifetime.
Bibi torched U.S. support for Israel for a generation. Older Republicans and white Evangelicals are the last groups to hold majority favorable views of Israel, according to recent Pew polling, @AndrewSolender and Justin Green write for @axios axios.com/2026/04/18/israel-…

During the Revolutionary War Gen. Washington mandated soldier inoculations to prevent disease from depleting readiness. In WWI, the mandate for short cropped hair and shaven faces emerged to control lice and facilitate gas masks. But this asshat thinks he knows better.
The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.

Happy “Headless Body In Topless Bar” Day, if you're observing it... 43 years ago today, April 15, 1983, the legendary NY Post managing editor, the late Vincent A. Musetto wrote the greatest headline of all time…

But we did get a repeat of Apollo 8, so it's all good, right? LOOK (below) at the list of science that's slashed!. The brightest, pro-science conservatives like Zubrin can see the obvious. This is war on science & every profession that uses facts.

You're simply ignorant. In Operation ELDORADO CANYON, Reagan's 1986 bombing of Libya, NATO members France, Spain and Italy all denied DoD use of bases or their airspace, which made the operation more difficult. Nobody whined about ending NATO over it.
That may or not be the case, but for European countries to prevent US planes from flying over their countries and blocking the US from using their European bases really is betrayal of a major ally. Fair enough not to join in but to be obstructive like that is apalling.

"Never start a bombing campaign that will completely halt shipping in the Strait of Hormuz" is right up there with "never get involved in a land war in Asia” in terms of the classic blunders.

the reason iran is a geopolitical threat is because they could block the strait of hormuz and cripple the world’s economy, something they have never done. so we bombed them until they did that

If we somehow end up putting a relative of the Shah back in charge of Iran think about how full circle this all goes: We toppled the democratically elected regime in 1953 and put the shah in power.The Shah's policies lead to blowback which brings us the Islamic Republic in 1979.

Using a NoSQL database for financial transactions because you were too lazy to learn SQL joins is criminal negligence. ACID compliance exists for a reason, stop trying to reinvent consistency.

You know, I'd be totally OK with the SAVE act if it *also* guaranteed free ID to every legal US citizen. But it doesn't, so millions are disenfranchised - and it's exactly the millions you think it will be.

So, basically, they used excessive force at a memorial for an American citizen they killed, and managed to injure an actual Native American...
ICE fired “less-than-lethal” rounds at an Alex Pretti memorial and severely injured an American Indian woman’s hand. Let that sink in. They used impact munitions on people mourning the man they killed. This is state violence.

Give credit to Rep. Massie for stating the obvious: Trump's offshore slush fund is a blatant constitutional violation, born of the same authoritarian narcissism we've watched for years where he treats public funds as his own personal piggy bank. The GOP's craven silence speaks volumes - and our media's inability to focus for more than a minute on anything is crippling. #TrumpCrimeFamily

Replying to @Timodc
It was ok for Rittenhouse to carry a rifle over state lines to a protest looking for trouble (while underage). He wanted to be a vigilante and took a firearm to a very volatile environment. This guy couldn’t carry a firearm that was holstered and licensed to carry. They’re too dumb to see the hypocrisy.

AOC: "How rich is it that she is saying showing up to the scene of a protest with a legally owned weapon should be grounds for a person's death, execution at the hands of the state, by the same party and administration that praises Kyle Rittenhouse."
