Bringing light to the darkness of American politics.
Apparently, the Trump administration has a new strategy for weeding out the gay Nazis and LGBT Klansmen in its ranks.

Things President Trump has “completely and totally obliterated”:

✅ White House’s East Wing
❌ Iran’s nuclear enrichment facilities

Despite crime in #Portland being down dramatically this year and only three arrests outside the #ICE facility here since January 20. 2025, the Rose City has apparently updated its iconic "White Stag" neon sign to welcome Trump's troops.

In 2010, a special prosecutor could not prove the Bush administration fired U.S. Attorney David Iglesias for refusing to prosecute cases it wanted charged.

In 2025, President Trump confessed to doing just that to U.S. Attorney Erik Siebert. #Comey

How lawless is Trump’s GOP?

Well, in 2008 President Bush’s AG Michael Mukasey named a special prosecutor to probe his boss’ purge of U.S. attorneys. This is what she found:

Sorry, Republic of Tea. But the gentlemen of "Breaking Abbey" started offering his lordship's "Earl Blue" in 2012.

The Trump administration is using the tragic murder of Charlie Kirk as its own #ReichstagFire.

The unprecedented extortion of broadcast networks, the dangerous targeting of opposition voices and the lawless crackdown on liberal groups only requires a simple cut and paste from the original German.

Two stories, same day.

Perhaps "50 eyes for an eye" is not how #Israel will win friends and influence people.

First Iran and now Qatar. For the second time in three months, Israel launched a strike to derail U.S.-led negotiations already in progress.

Not a good look for #Trump and his #NobelPeacePrize crusade.

History is replete with dominant global powers who over time lost their position of leadership. The United States appears to be the first to unilaterally surrender.

There is no evidence that Donald Trump paid Russian hookers to urinate on him in a Moscow hotel room in 2013. But a new report from the nonpartisan CBO confirms that Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill" takes from the poor to give golden showers to the rich.

Fatter than a spreading buffet, more flatulent than a laxative, able to lease tall buildings in a single term. Look up on the screen! It’s a turd! It’s a shame! It’s…

For those of you keeping score at home, Donald Trump’s nuclear disarmament record is now 0 for 2. #Iran #NorthKorea

As #CBO warns once again, for the GOP the only certainties in life are debt and tax cuts.

Here's how the Trump administration is telling you that American consumers will pay the cost of its tariffs without literally telling you that American consumers will pay the cost of its tariffs.

These two stories from today give the game away.

As Pro Publica reports, America’s “Great Unlearning” has a growing body count.

The lesson: You can’t count on herd immunity if the herd isn’t immune.

In 2004, the CBC broadcast “H2O,” the fictional story of a nefarious plot to divert Canada’s water resources to the U.S., a scheme which leads to its annexation by America.

Now, the psychopath in the White House thinks it’s a documentary.

51 days into Trump's presidency, a status report:
March 13, 2025 at 1:00 AM
Trump and Speaker Johnson got GOP holdouts to support the House CR by promising the White House would illegally withholding the spending Congress approves. #Impoundment

As Johnson put it, "Some of the things that are being appropriated, the executive branch has the authority not to spend."

History is replete with global powers whose age of dominance ended when challenged by a rising competitor. Unless Donald #Trump changes course quickly, “American exceptionalism” may soon only refer to the first superpower to yield its leadership by choice. #China #Economy

Trump broke the law in 2020 when he blocked $250 million in Congressionally-approved aid to #Ukraine.

He’s breaking the law now.

The devastating firings at #NOAA could be Trump’s Katrina.

At least George W. Bush was warned when he lied that “nobody could have predicted the levees would fail.”

On the left, Trump mascot Elon #Musk. On the right, Portland soccer mascot Timber Joey.

There may be plenty of methheads in Portland, but only the guy on the left acted like one. #CPAC

Tomorrow's headlines, probably:
