“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. "Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad." "How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

  1. How destructive is he? Let us count the ways —:
    so far he has either destroyed or put in peril:
    our allies trust in America
    the economy
    national systems such as the nation’s health, social security, judicial, weather, postal services and more.

    As Russia’s war with Ukraine continues, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sits down with Scott Pelley to discuss U.S. support for Ukraine, the war, the Oval Office meeting, and the latest attacks on civilians.

  4. Trump’s budget plan eviscerates weather and climate research, and it could be enacted immediately | CNN

    The Trump administration intends to eliminate the research arm of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, close all weather and climate labs and eviscerate its budget along with several other NOAA offices, according to internal documents obtained by CNN.

    The documents describe the administration’s budget proposal for 2026, but indicate the administration expects the agency to enact the changes immediately.

    The cuts would devastate weather and climate research as weather is becoming more erratic, extreme and costly. It would cripple the US industries — including agriculture — that depend on free, accurate weather and climate data and expert analysis. It could also halt research on deadly weather, including severe storms and tornadoes.

  5. Toddler tRUMPsky needs to sit in the timeout chair until he can behave. He is not king, he doesn’t have half of the authority he has welded, and folks need to start telling him “no,” and then taking action themselves.

    “The courts may step in here, but we don’t have to wait for the courts,” Warren said. “The question is whether or not the Republicans will join us in this.”

    Last week, Warren called on Congress to take action against Trump’s tariffs. She noted that it’s part of the powers granted to Congress and asked Democrats to encourage GOP lawmakers to join with them.

    Democrats in the Senate are seeking to force a vote on a resolution that would terminate the emergency that Trump declared and reverse Trump’s tariffs of 10 percent on all imported goods and 145 percent on Chinese-made goods.

    Tyrant Toddler is so stupid. Our tariffs on China is on stuff we buy from them, and it is a tax on Americans. China’s retaliatory tax on our goods, means the few things they do buy a lot of from us (like soybeans) will be bought from somewhere else. Art of the doofus.

  6. The direct effect of krasnov and his cosplay as a dictator is import/exports are almost halved, can’t find the graphic right now. You can see it watching U.S. ports. Ships are arriving with light loads, leaving with light loads, carrying empty containers as a load.

    Where I live I can look at the Annapolis Anchorage, ships anchor there to go to Port of Balitmore, and to top off loads of coal leaving for Asia. Normal are five or six ships. High number is above ten, low is zero to two. Currently two. Not good.

  7. Knock him off his throne…

    A group of self-organized volunteers has been recruiting voters in every House district and started simply asking congressional offices. “Operation Anti-King,” they fittingly call it. In addition to Rep. Al Green, D-Texas, who has already called for impeachment — and has done so many times since Trump’s first term — they quickly found seven more willing to go on the record: Reps. Suzanne Bonamici and Maxine Dexter of Oregon, Sam Liccardo and Maxine Waters of California, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Shri Thanedar of Michigan, and Hank Johnson of Georgia.

    In a statement to this group, Dexter made the obvious connection: “Donald Trump’s cruel, chaotic, and unlawful actions have put our democracy at risk. … I will not stand by while our democracy is eroded. I support impeachment because no one is above the law.” Bonamici likewise affirmed her support because he is “violating the Constitutional rights of people in this country and ignoring the rule of law.”

  10. if Stephen A Smith announces a presidential run before an established Democrat candidate, they need to dissolve the entire party.

    US President Donald Trump will host El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele at the White House on Monday, as he seeks to deport more immigrants to a notorious maximum-security prison in the Central American country.

    *Bukele should bring Mr.Garcia with him.

    Days after the Supreme Court ordered Donald Trump to “facilitate” the return of a man his administration illegally shipped to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador — allegedly the result of an “administrative error” — Trump’s administration is saying it has no responsibility to actually bring him home.

    The administration further rejected any demands that it share copies or details of its agreements with El Salvador to hold the migrants the U.S. sent there — claiming that this information is either “classified,” subject to attorney-client privilege, or subject to the State Secrets privilege.

    *Without due process, they can claim anyone deserves to be deported/imprisoned/used for forced (free-ish) labor…even an American-born citizen, going generations back, who voted for tRUMPsky but have changed their minds about him.

  15. Will the Supreme Court do anything about Trump disobeying its order? If not, it’s official, we’re in a dictatorship.

  16. Bukele is, of course, in cahoots with the current administration. How many taxpayer dollars are giving El Salvador to wrongfully imprison folks?

    “How can I return him to the United States? Like if I smuggle him into the United States? Of course I’m not going to do it. The question is preposterous,” Bukele said, sitting beside Trump in the Oval Office, when asked if he’d return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “We’re not very fond of releasing terrorists,” he added.

    *Where is the proof that he is a “terrorist”? No due process should worry the heck out of everyone.

    Trump Wants To Bend Columbia University to His Will With Government Oversight
    The president, intensifying his conflict with elite universities, is reportedly pursuing a consent decree that would legally force Columbia to comply with his agenda.

    …the White House is now reportedly trying to direct a federal judge to enforce any deal it reaches with Columbia University under a consent decree, which would impose legal oversight over the school’s compliance with Trump’s agenda for years to come.

    Columbia has already yielded to President Donald Trump’s will after he revoked $400 million in grants and contracts from the university, alleging that the school had failed to protect Jewish students from antisemitism on campus. The administration has also targeted for deportation students who participated in last year’s protests against the war in Gaza.

    On Friday, a court in Louisiana is set to rule on the release of one such former graduate student, a green card holder named Mahmoud Khalil, who was arrested in early March. The administration has not made any criminalclaims against Khalil. Instead, it has said in court documents that his removal is based on “past, current, or expected beliefs, statements, or associations that are otherwise lawful,” but which Secretary of State Marco Rubio believes “compromise a compelling US foreign policy interest.”

    Just this week, the administration froze $1 billion in funding for Cornell University and another $790 million for Northwestern University.

    

  20. Fundraiser Helps With Family Medical Costs After MD Father Wrongfully Deported

    A GoFundMe has been established to help the family of a wrongfully deported Maryland man. He and his wife have a child with stress seizures.

    BELSTVILLE, MD — A GoFundMe has been set up to help the family of a Maryland man wrongfully deported to El Salvador. Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia and his wife have three children with health challenges: Two are on the autism spectrum and a third has epilepsy.

    National Day Laborer Organizing Network has organized the fundraiser on behalf of Jennifer Vasquez Sura, wife of Abrego Garcia, a resident of Beltsville and a citizen of El Salvador.

    On March 12, Abrego Garcia was stopped by ICE officers after picking up his son from daycare.

  21. It would be hard to come up with two more despicable assholes sitting together in the Oval Office than Bukele and SFB.

  22. Called my Republicans in Congress. Today’s rant: Vote against the SAVE Act, insist on due process because “this is some n@zi baloney,” and I hope the House will impeach tRUMP & that the Republicans in the Senate will join Dems to convict & remove him.

  23. Yep, and Orange Adolf just lied & said SCOTUS voted 9-0 “in our favor.” The vote count was right, but it wasn’t in the orange asshat’s favor.

  24. So it would appear – at least to SFB and his minions.
    I would note to the lawyers who are doing his bidding, take a lesson from Lin Wood, Kenneth Chesebro and Ruudeee (and pay attention to Michael Cohen and Sidney Powell)

  25. these people weren’t even accused of crimes. Absolutely disgusting and frightening.

  26. Bernie is making good noises, but I still haven’t forgiven him and the bros for helping to sabotage Hillary. We could have avoided all of this with Hillary followed by Obama. It’s woulda shoulda coulda, but part of that mistake rests on Bernie’s shoulder. We can only go forward now and hope it’s not too late, but he remains unforgiven.

  27. The Real Reason El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele Cozied Up to Trump

    Based on El Faro’s reporting, I gather that some of these gang leaders potentially had a lot of dirt on Bukele.
    That’s right. Bukele made that secret agreement with the gangs five years ago that helped his party win elections. In exchange, Mr. Bukele freed some of the gang bosses, including a few who were facing extradition to the U.S. After leaving El Salvador they were captured in Mexico and sent to the United States where they were indicted. Some of the indictments include allegations of the gang’s collusion with authorities in El Salvador. We also know that when Mr. Bukele offered Marco Rubio to receive deportees and criminals, he also requested that the gang bosses be sent back to El Salvador, and at least one of them was included in those first flights.

    How would you qualify Bukele’s regime? I’ve seen it described as bordering on fascist.
    I would qualify Mr. Bukele as an authoritarian populist. That is not ideological, but rather a project of accumulation of power. Until recently, Nayib Bukele was a member of the former guerilla party, the extreme leftist FMLN, and benefited from the Venezuelan government’s Alba Petróleos fund. Then quite suddenly he became almost libertarian and started to flirt with authoritarian and extreme rightist movements all over the world, including, of course, the United States. So I would say that his project is not ideological, but rather the complete grab of the state to accumulate power and wealth. 

  28. Trump to the USA: There Is No Rule of Law

    In the future, April 14, 2025, may well be recognized as a monumental day in US history. That is, of course, if there is honest history in the future. Because this is the day that President Donald Trump sent a clear message to the nation: There is no rule of law in the United States.

  30. HRC literally won the nomination. I voted for her, she lost and then (once again) literally ran in the woods to cry. I respect her, but we don’t need to besmirch Bernie now.

    Whatever, it’s a post-Constitutional order anyway your lack of forgiveness for Bernie will be noted for history

    Craig is unforgivable by your standard, also. I forgive you Craig.

  31. Liberals- getting demonized by conservatives and then shitting on each other for the last 40 years, wonder how trump happened hmmmm

  32. AOC & Bernie doing a rally in Idaho tonight.

    I think this is Bernie passing his torch to AOC.
    As he said recently, he’s tired.

    We’re all tired. 2025 has been a long year.

    The media, everyone, needs to start calling them kidnappings, human trafficking across state/country borders, and concentration camps.

    Another student was abducted today.

    Aside from calling my congress members (who probably think I’m a crank) every day, even on weekends, and cursing the entire administration while the bonfire roars, I’m out of ideas. (It was a beautiful bonfire, complete with full moon.)

  33. Too funny not to pass on…

    https://delawareliberal.net/2025/04/14/song-of-the-day-4-14-chicago-an-hour-in-the-shower/

    You probably didn’t notice this last week, what with the destruction of the world economy and all, but Donald Trump renewed his war on water efficiency standards. He took time out of his busy schedule of making shit up as he goes along to issue an executive order on the important issue of “Maintaining Acceptable Water Pressure in Showerheads.”

    He’s been on about this for years, and as he made clear last week, it’s personal. “In my case, I like to take a nice shower, take care of my beautiful hair,” he said as he signed. “I have to stand under the shower for 15 minutes until it gets wet. It comes out drip, drip, drip. It’s ridiculous.” That probably has less to do with water pressure than whatever shellac cements his elaborate combover in place, but as usual the absurdity disguises more sinister moves against all kinds of regulations

    Unlike Trump, most people enjoy taking a leisurely shower, though Chicago’s Terry Kath might have taken it to an extreme with this suite from their third album, creatively titled “Chicago III.” Released in early 1971, the album was the group’s third double LP in 21 months, and you could tell they were running out of things to write about.

  34. For the entirety of his tenure in American politics, Donald Trump for better or worse has lived on by the grace of the American people’s faith in his economic leadership. Now it is plain and clear, just as with his failures in Atlantic City or with Trump University, that President Trump never had any idea what he was doing all along. If we avoid the distractions to come and stay focused on the economy, Democrats can take back the one issue that has kept Trump on a respirator all this time. Through all the hardships to come, we bring the silver lining. And finally, we can begin again.

  35. STAND BY FOR NEWS from our fearless leader. his new thread probably won’t appear until 6 EST even though he scheduled it for 5:00 a.m. this morning.
    word press seems to think we’re still on standard time which I so wish we were permanently.
