Regardless of whether itโs all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something.
For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

So, I called Rep. Jack Bergman (MI-01) to chat about our genocidally insane president and you can probably guess what happenedโฆno mailbox.
He must be in Florida.

Donald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization.
Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do?
Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.

โ.. Strip away the shock value for a moment .. This is not a stray remark at a rally. Nor was it a misstatement quickly corrected by staff. This is a public declaration, .. during an active and escalating international crisis.โ

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office.
The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Rep. Balint: "My Republican colleagues have accepted for themselves that there's no bottom. They will continue to support this man regardless of how unhinged and how unfit he is for office. It's disgusting."

If I were in Trump's Cabinet, I would spend Easter calling constitutional lawyers about the 25th Amendment.
This is completely, utterly unhinged. He's already killed thousands. He's going to kill thousands more.

Bureau of Labor Statistics reports 178,000 jobs added in March. Yeah, right. In lieu of alt-BLS numbers, Iโll wait for the revised statistics.

ICYMI - Samuel L. Jackson (!!) narrated this powerful video for Saturday's No Kings rally about the strength of Minnesotans protesting ICE:
"When your neighbors are being attacked and your communities are being targeted, you don't give up. You don't look away. You don't back down. You showed up."

Anyone else notice this? Mainstream journalists have forgotten their duty to speak truth to power. It is why it is one of the rights written into the Constitution. Political cartoonists are the real and true heroes of the moment.

Thereโs much analysis of options available to end the Iran war. They all rightly assume the US has a dedicated and highly skilled military. But, Iโve yet to find an analysis that factors in the utter incompetence of the Trump administration leading said military.

As Democrats have said over and over, Trump could have ended the TSA shutdown whenever he wanted.
He was delaying TSAโs funding to try to get more funding for ICE, but we refused. Glad to see Trump is finally ending the Republican shutdown of TSA.

Billy Carter sold Billy Beer. LBJ owned some radio stations.
The Trumps have taken $400M jets, $2B in Saudi money, and put the president's face on currency like a Roman emperor.
Same office. Different universe.

This is ridiculous.
Elected officials, their family members, or staff should NEVER be able to make fortunes off of insider information.
Theyโre making billions betting on our national security while everyone else struggles to pay for groceries and gas.

a. Trump isn't announcing a pause on strikes. He's saying he's postponing a possible war crime - strikes on Iran's civilian energy infrastructure.
b. Also, this isn't a message to Iran. It's a panicky message to the markets: "No war escalation until markets close on Friday".
