A Battle with My Blood
When I was diagnosed with leukemia, my first thought was that this couldn’t be happening to me, to my family.

Trump: "I'm trying to have people learn about wind real fast and I think I've done a good job, but not good enough, because some countries are still trying and they're destroying themselves. I hope they get back to fossil fuel."

The last few days have truly been a low point for the American news media. And it’s all because journalists in this country—and their corporate masters—lack the courage to say what they all know and say endlessly in private:

That Trump is stupid, and nuts.

Happy FOIAFriday the 13th! NEW issue of my newsletter is out.

In March, I filed a #FOIA request with the US Institute of Peace just as DOGE was taking over the agency. This week USIP sent me the most incredible response to a #FOIA request I have ever received.

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

Good to see democrats in congress referring to ICE as the Gestapo.
Rep. Lynch: "In late March, ICE agents wearing masks detained Rümeysa Öztürk. And those of you who watched that abduction, when you compare the old films of the Gestapo grabbing people off the streets of Poland ... it does look like the Gestapo."

This is as stupid as anything a U.S. president has said this century.
Trump: "Russia fought with us in WWII and everybody hates them. And Germany and Japan, they're fine — some day somebody will explain that...Everybody hates Russia and they love Germany and Japan...It's a strange world."

Donald Trump, thanks for making the case against mass deportation.

Now call it off!

Or are you scared to confront Stephen Miller?
Trump says farmers are "being hurt badly" by deportations. "You go into a farm and you look and people, they've been there for 20 or 25 years and worked great and the owner of the farm loves them and you're supposed to throw them out?"

"We can't do that to our farmers and leisure, too, hotels."

What Moran reported was demonstrable fact. Indisputable fact. Yet they suspend him.

This is the advantage that Trump and his ilk have. They are so beyond the moral pale, so beyond normality, that it is considered impolite, impolitic, or intemperate to describe them as they are.
Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

A cast bronze memorial to the police officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6 declares that "their heroism will never be forgotten." But the memorial itself has been forgotten, left in storage because Johnson's office has not had it hung @joeheim.bsky.social www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
GOP won’t install Jan. 6 plaque honoring law enforcement, Democrats say
More than three years after it was approved by Congress, a plaque honoring members of law enforcement for defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, is instead sitting in a Capitol basement utility room.

BREAKING: China has stopped importing US beef.

Australia has stepped up to fill in the gap.

The US’s $2.5 billion beef trade to China has come to a halt.

Thanks to the POS in chief, agent Krasnov, “winning” is actually losing.

America is really not awesome rn.

the basic problem facing american democracy is that one party has decided it wants a king and will hand over as much authority as is necessary to make that happen
All but three House Republicans just voted for Trump's tariffs. The procedural measure, which preemptively surrenders congressional power to stop Trump's tariffs, passed with all Democrats voting no. This was the vote count:

Hot damn, Steven Horsford just set fire to Trump's U.S. Trade Representative Jameison Greer over Trump's idiotic and costly tariff play.
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge?
