I'm a fan of @cheetah.bsky.social's reporting, sure, but his writing never fails to deliver. Get you some Press Pass from @thebulwark.com if you're not getting it already. 'As a catapult welcomes a stone' - come on!
Screen shot of The Bulwark's Press Pass newsletter by Joe Perticone (@cheetah.bsky here). "In Virginia, where aggrieved furloughed and fired federal employees greeted Republican candidates as a catapult welcomes a stone, rural areas down south underwent massive shifts in the Democrats’ direction."

I assume this transcription is accurate.

This looks like the kind of thing that's going to catch a lot of "everything's taken care of because MY president is in charge" people unawares until the auto-pay hits in January. Enjoy that, I guess!
An email I received this morning from Healthcare.gov. "Stacie - Open Enrollment is here! Our records show you’re at risk of losing assistance to reduce the cost of your monthly premiums in 2026. If you don’t take action to verify or update your 2026 application, you will be renewed into a Marketplace plan without your current financial assistance."

Wait, *this* American pardoned for committing earlier crimes has been arrested for doing more crimes? Hard to believe.
(From AP) Christopher P. Moynihan is accused of sending a text message on Friday noting that Jeffries, a New York Democrat, would be making a speech in New York City this week. “I cannot allow this terrorist to live,” Moynihan wrote, according to a report by a state police investigator. Moynihan also wrote that Jeffries “must be eliminated” and texted, “I will kill him for the future,” the police report says. Moynihan, of Clinton, New York, is charged with a felony count of making a terroristic threat.

The House should impeach Trump today and the Senate should remove him tomorrow. Absolutely unacceptable extortion using the federal government.

The problem with getting a hankering for natto is that even when you decide to go ahead and whip some up, it’s still a two-day process. Anyway, here’s tomorrow’s natto.

I'm sure there will be no impact on milk prices.
A paragraph from an Associated Press story noting that ICE took the majority of a New Mexico dairy's employees at a recent raid. An industry professional is quoted saying, "You can't turn off cows. They need to be milked twice a day, fed twice a day."

Huh. I guess when you're doing real law enforcement things, you don't have to hide your face in shame. (This is this morning in Minnesota.) 📷Alex Kormann/The Minnesota Star Tribune

Maybe Trump is unifying the country after all.
Results of a YouGov poll that finds 60% of respondents think Elon Musk has hurt the country in government, and 69% want him to leave government.

Seriously, people don't like what he's doing and it's good for institutions to push back on him.

A version of the "Are we the baddies?" meme, where two British comedians on a television show are costumed as Nazi officers as it dawns on them that they're on the wrong side.

Crack journalism. By which I mean, you may as well be on drugs if this is how you're being "informed."
Front page of Foxnews.com as of 10:45 am on 4/3/25, which doesn't mention the stock market crash and paints the tariffs as a "major blow" (to what is not stated) and indicates that "some countries crawling back to negotiate".

So the shitgibbon has majority support for... none of his initiatives. And everybody's scared? Why?

While it is true that everything is terrible, Reddit tells me that this is indeed the shoot of one of the American ginseng root sets I put in the ground a few weeks ago. Little bit of joy on this one.

Why are we classifying inaccurate information?
A passage from an AP story that reads, "The Justice Department on Friday announced an investigation in "the selective leak of inaccurate, but nevertheless classified, information" from intelligence agences about Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang whose members in the United States are being targeted for removal by the Republican administration."

I just don't recall this level of public disorder under Joe Biden.
A row of Tesla vehicles on a lot, several of which are engulfed in the beautiful orange flames of creative destruction.

You think Ted Cruz, who popularized the second image, will have anything to say about the first one?
Reuters headline from today reading, "Beef prices may rise as Canadian ranchers shrink cattle herds, fearing Trump tariffs." An image of a star, and underneath it a barbecue grill, and below that the all-caps phrase COME AND TAKE IT. Ted Cruz posted this in 2021 after President Biden, in March 2021, promised the country that a well-conducted vaccine program would allow Americans to gather safely for Independence Day in July.

Got this message after sending. Fun fact: you can't spell "denied" without DEI.

Elon named his latest kid the r-slur, didn’t he?
A photo of a page of Ashley St. Clair’s legal filing to force Elon Musk to acknowledge paternity. The child’s name begins with R, but the rest is blacked out for privacy, making it look like Elon may have named his 13th child the r-slur that he loves so much.

It’s not practical for me, an American living in America, to boycott American products, but you bet your ass I’m buying products with this label whenever I can.
A food package labeled “Product of Canada.”

There are widgets or menu items at the bottom of the page that the website team at NPS has conspicuously not noticed yet. God bless 'em.
Four clickable menu items below the NPS complaint form, two of which still reference "LGBTQ" rather than the Trump-approved "LGB." Because that fucker doesn't dictate what our community is and can't erase who unleashed us in the first place.
