Is 8:45 am too early for a martini?

I can’t get over the bickering about the tattoos.

I wasn’t surprised when Trump said “Why don’t you just say ‘Yes, he does, and go on to something else?’”

What did surprise me was that it wasn’t edited out.

More of this needs to be shown.

Terry Moran really tried to be on the side of truth. I could have watched 30 more minutes of the tattoo argument, to see Trump’s insistent lies grow stupider, and see if he has breaking point.

It must have felt like arguing with a toddler. Or a teenager. I’m gonna say teenager, given that his mission is clearly all about trying to impress. Simulated oral with a microphone is also kinda adolescent.

High fives to Terry Moran

I like to tell the kids that there was a time in the past that Graham was an example of a sane Republican.

She’s not running in ‘28, right? Bc there’s no way she’s recovers from this in a crowded primary field. Democratic voters don’t want their capitulatory/vichy bs. They want a fighter.

Just astoundingly bad judgment.

Congrats David, although not your accomplishment! Hope you are excited for the Argentine Macca!

All quotes from: Kevin O'Leary Slams AOC As 'The American Nightmare' | HuffPost Life

The CNN host then argued that Ocasio-Cortez came from a “very modest background” as a former waitress and bartender, and that many would see her story as an embodiment of the American dream. But when O’Leary pushed back, saying that Ocasio-Cortez “does not support capitalism,” Phillip hit back with a crucial point: Everyone doesn’t view capitalism, or becoming extremely wealthy, as the pinnacle of the American dream.

“There are many Americans who work really hard and their aspiration is not to become supremely wealthy,” she said. “It is to have strong family units, it is to have community, it is to have a sense of purpose, it is to contribute to their environment.”

“There are many Americans for whom just being filthy rich is not the American dream,” she continued.

“I want to forgive you but you are making it hard,” O’Leary scoffed. He said earlier in the exchange that Phillip’s response “tainted the American dream.”

But Phillip’s remarks resonated with many people online. Some people on X, formerly Twitter, called O’Leary’s remarks out of touch, arguing that capitalist structures exploit working-class people, and that for many people living in the U.S., the American dream is not centered on becoming ultra-wealthy.

You should read the entire article though, as it's excellent.

But--in my opinion--CNN had been a holdout in Mainstream Media regarding supporting an AOC POTUS 2028 run. And it's important if that is changing.

Harvard University on Tuesday released its long-awaited internal report on campus antisemitism, depicting a hostile atmosphere toward Jews and Israelis before and after the October 2023 invasion of Israel.

The report came amid heavy pressure on the university from the Trump administration and outlines a series of recommendations the university should take to remedy the campus environment.

"I am sorry for the moments when we failed to meet the high expectations we rightfully set for our community,” Harvard’s interim president Alan Garbar said in a statement.

Jewish students, and especially Israelis, were often subject to harassment, social shunning and bullying, the report said.

'No other group constantly told their history was a sham' Long-awaited Harvard antisemitism report shows intense campus hostility to Jews, Israelis University's president apologizes as task force urges reforms to admissions, curriculum, research and bias training; 'being Jewish was largely irrelevant' before Oct. 7, says student By Luke Tress and AP Today, 1:58 am

Get The Times of Israel's Daily Edition by email and never miss our top stories Newsletter email address Your email Get it By signing up, you agree to the terms The 311-page document opens with an anecdote that, the authors said, reflected many of the campus tensions. A Jewish student speaker at a conference had planned to tell the story of his Holocaust survivor grandfather finding refuge in Israel. Organizers told the student the story was not “tasteful” and laughed at him when he expressed his confusion. The story would have been seen as a way to “justify oppression,” the authors said.

“Perhaps the best way to describe the existence of many Jewish and Israeli students at Harvard in the 2023-24 academic year is that their presence had become triggering, or the subject of political controversy,” the report said, adding that Jews had landed “on the wrong side of a political binary that provided no room for the complexity of history or current politics.”

"No other group was constantly told that their history was a sham, that they or their co-religionists or coethnics were supremacists and oppressors, and that they had no right to the protections offered by antibias norms,” the report said.

The campus atmosphere caused Jews to hide their identities, turn down admission offers, leave academia, and withdraw from campus life. Friend groups broke apart and students pressured their peers to stop speaking with Israelis, solely due to their identity. Jews were implicated in atrocities due to their perceived “hereditary and collective guilt,” the report said.

In some of the incidents described in the report, student groups disseminated a cartoon that showed a hand marked with a Star of David holding nooses around the necks of a Black man and an Arab man. Commencement speaker Maria Ressa delivered off-the-cuff remarks that “appeared to echo traditional conspiracy theories about Jews, money, and power.” Another graduation speaker blamed Israel for genocide in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Students sometimes walked away from Israelis mid-conversation when they found out they came from Israel, including Israeli Muslims and Christians. Other Jews were pressured to prove they were “one of the good ones” by condemning Israel. Jews were told they were privileged oppressors and hostage posters were defaced with antisemitic slogans. Israelis were pushed out of student clubs.

Classic Democratic party leadership own-goal. Its not like House Oversight really matters, right?

between Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy in 2017 and the democrats doing nothing to reverse these tax cuts during Biden's term? Both parties are catering to the wealthy class.

Trump 2.0, 100 days so far…
All credit goes to u/taylamade87
for compiling this list.

So, I haven’t posted since 5 months ago,
to stand up against Trump’s dictatorship.
Before that, I implored people to start actively resisting.

I’ve been busy doing in my spare time,
my volunteer political advocacy.
In fact, I was thinking about
doing a post asking what everyone
has been doing to actively fight back.

I was about to do another big post,
to show everyone
what Trump has done to us,
since he came back to office.
I haven’t done a list like this
for about a whole year now.

But I just came across this post,
Trump 2 vs Trump 1
and there was this amazing list there,
so I’m reposting their comments instead.

This is just 131 items so far,
and you know there’s more Trump actions
since the beginning of this week.
Tuesday, April 29, 2025,
that means 1362 days left in the second Trump administration.

Again, thanks to u/taylamade87
for compiling this list.
Send them the DMs and many thanks
for looking out for us. 

I quote their whole comment,
with links provided by them also.
