This is a time in our nation's history that will be remembered for all the broken fools who needed so much attention.

Trump Nixing of Dem State Disaster Aid Backfires, Screwing MAGA Voters After Trump’s handling of disasters boomerangs on MAGA country, the author of a piece on his retribution against blue America explains how this saga reveals MAGA ideology’s deepest depravities.

Trump screws his voters again: He just denied disaster aid to Maryland (while giving it to red states). But I took a look and it turns out the suffering Maryland counties are in Appalachia and backed him by 40 and 54 points.

On the pod, @stevebenen.com and I discuss:

Democratic Governors Should Not Paul Weiss Themselves Everyone who fights comes out looking better, and in better shape.

Let’s make Paulweissing into a verb, so Dems and others can ask themselves a simple questionβ€”am I Paulweissing it?β€”before making a deal with the devil. www.offmessage.net/p/democratic...

Trump Tyranny Tracker: Day 100 April 29, 2025

Trump Tyranny Tracker: Day 100 is out!

The daily tracker documenting the latest in corruption, power consolidation, civil & human rights abuses, and weaponization of government news.

Trump is not slowing down and is carrying out so many abuses. This tracker took me over 5 hours today.

A tweet from "Covie" (@covie_93) that reads:
"Speaker Mike Johnson from the great state of 'Louisnana' wants to get rid of the Department of Education."

Below the tweet is an image of a large blue curtain featuring an emblem with a pelican and the words "SUPREME COURT" and "CONFIDENCE." The word "LOUISNANA" is prominently misspelled instead of "LOUISIANA." The mistake is highlighted with a red circle. In the foreground, three judges in black robes are seated at a table.

I'm sorry that @schumer.senate.gov and @cnn.com and @msnbc.com didn't know this before today: there is no compromising with Trump.

He is insane and his only human emotion is revenge and you cannot mitigate against it. There is only one path through: destroy his presidency.

BREAKING: HUNDREDS of New Yorkers have swarmed and shut down the Tesla dealer in Manhattan. Six have been arrested after occupying the showroom. Protests are erupting across America to reject Musk's billionaire regime. This is how we beat fascism.

Mass direct action.
