The National Park Service removed Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Juneteenth from its calendar of fee-free entrance days, replacing them with dates that include President Donald Trump’s birthday, which falls on June 14 (Flag Day).

Yeah, it's just CRAZY to suggest that Donald Trump is so insane he would want to force his name on a building associated with another president who was assassinated, right? #KennedyCenter

On this I cannot disagree. Mainstream media and legacy media have been bought and paid for and are willing turning a blind eye to an obvious coverup. No one is willing to go to the hospital and find out the truth? Shameful.

Their level of profound stupidity is contagious!

Warner on CBS: I was embarrassed that the president went before our country and networks like yours carried this as news as opposed to a rehash of falsehoods. It is incumbent upon you and any responsible journalist to pushback on this.

I’m old enough to remember when this kind of thing would end a presidency.

The president’s social media company is sponsoring the UFC event at the White House. The league is owned by one of his friends, and the event will be streamed to paid subscribers on Paramount+, a company whose merger the president just approved this weekend.

Iran state media.

Everything has to change. Everything. Do not settle for politicians who want to go back to "normal." "Normal" was the garbage state of existence that allowed all of this evil to take root and thrive. Everything has to change.

NEWS: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to remove Trump’s name from the Kennedy Center, ruling that only Congress can change the institution’s name and directing officials to remove it from the building façade, all physical and digital signage, and official materials.

Holy shit this cartoon.

They say free press keeps everyone honest. Reality: Foreign billionaire's 25-year-old daughter, whose only prior donation was $20 to Buttigieg, drops $3.5M into Trump PAC. Dad's bribery case? Vanishes into a full pardon. This is straight-up illegal. ... campaignlegal.org/update/seeki...

He's not planning on leaving. That's what the ballroom bunker equipped with drones is for. It's why he's calling for Thune to fire the parliamentarian who's refusing to allow the $1B for the ballroom in the reconciliation bill. It's why he's paying the insurrectionists with his slush fund.

Cf. the Bezos Post, "Republicans gerrymandering in Texas is fine, actually" b/w "Democrats gerrymandering in Virginia is a threat to democracy"

Biggest push back he’s gotten all year

Donald Trump is: profiting off of the presidency, draping ridiculously huge banners of himself on government buildings, tearing up the WH, making plans to build a giant arch, starting needless wars, picking fights with the Pope, likening himself to Jesus and crashing the economy. Republicans: 🦗🦗🦗🦗

Not great when the only people in the free world who believe and trust Vladimir Putin’s word on critical things despite all evidence to the contrary are currently running the government of the United States.

He went from “unconditional surrender” and “I must pick their new leader” to full “just declare victory and get the hell out” TACO Trump.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective. He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

Good news that the execrable Kristi Noem has been fired, but Trump should really be firing Stephen Miller, the primary engineer of the vile ethnic reengineering agenda and murderously violent civic tensions that are sucking all of them into a bottomless political sinkhole, Trump included.

“The Justice Department has withheld some Epstein files related to allegations that President Trump sexually abused a minor, an NPR investigation finds.” www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU

The US President, which does not offer free healthcare to his own people, wants his own people to offer free healthcare… to Greenland… which already has free healthcare. Maybe it is time for another brain scan for the US president.

It's time for a truly massive general strike. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-enough

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

General Strike Now Shut The whole fucking thing DOWN #Mm

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

Someday corporations and technology companies will pretend they were always against this

ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

A friend just sent me this:

Auchincloss: "When you have a badge & gun and you are interacting with a citizen who has committed no crime, the onus of responsibility is on you to exercise good judgment. Nobody watching that video will buy the argument that he had no other resort other than to shoot her in the face 3 times."

🇺🇸 MINNEAPOLIS VETERAN: "They are terrorizing the population, in Afghanistan we never wore masks.” (From @statuscoupnews.bsky.social )

Swalwell: You better believe that accountability is coming. Immunity is going to be stripped. And to Kristi Noem, Tom “Cashbag” Homan, Greg Bovino—your asses are going to be in these witness chairs.

Not that I expect more from CNN, but it would be closer to actual journalism if they didn’t act as government stenographers.

AOC: This has now become what we feared most about ICE for a long time—that it would be used as an anti-civilian force with no accountability. At the end of the day, what we saw today was a murder, and murders in cold blood need to be prosecuted.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

This would be a good moment for top editors in our major news organizations to call a meeting to announce to their staff that Trump has lost his mind and you don’t have to cover him like he’s normal anymore.
