Great to see Lenore Taylor, former Guardian Oz editor-in-chief back on ABC Insiders panel. Facts matter. Taylor is a working counter measure to all the mis/disinformation infecting our politics.

BREAKING: A lone Republican member of Congress is finally asking, “Am I crazy, or is Jared Kushner going around making all kinds of secret, personal deals with foreign dictators worth billions of dollars without any Congressional authorization not a textbook example of treason?"

🚨 #Epstein #Trump New accusation‼️‼️ “If you stay quiet, I’ll take care of you.”‼️ ⛔️Béatrice Keul, a 22-year-old Swiss woman, finalist in Miss Switzerland, receives a personal invitation signed by Donald Trump for a contest organized with Jeffrey Epstein. ⛔️She goes there full of hope. 33 years later, Béatrice Keul accuses Trump of a brutal sexual assault and is preparing a lawsuit to force him to testify‼️

@DemocraticWins Too bad nobody will tell Trump.

BREAKING: For the first time since 2010, a Fox News poll shows that American voters trust Democrats more than Republicans on the economy. This is huge.

So the Libs and Nationals are going to preference the Racists in Farrer against Independent @michelle4farrer I shudder to think what former MP late Tim Fischer would think of this move. Where is the outrage from John Anderson? If anyone is still struggling to understand how America under trump has collapsed this will give you a glimpse of how to start the slide in Australia.

BREAKING: During an emergency White House meeting, President Trump reportedly attempted to access the nuclear codes but was blocked by General Dan Caine, according to former CIA analyst Larry Johnson.

BREAKING: News legends Dan Rather and Sam Donaldson along with 250 journalists sign blistering letter demanding the White House Correspondents’ Dinner “stop the polite nonsense” forcefully call out Trump to his face! In a powerful open letter, retired star journalists Rather (94) and Donaldson (92), along with more than 250 other members of the press, are urging the White House Correspondents’ Association to stop the usual polite nonsense and use this week’s dinner to directly confront Donald Trump’s unprecedented attacks on the free press. The letter states that Trump’s “systematic, sustained, and unprecedented” assault on journalism – including retaliatory bans, lawsuits, defunding public broadcasting, arrests of reporters, and constant verbal attacks – makes it impossible for the dinner to continue as “business as usual.” They are calling on the WHCA to issue a strong, public defense of the First Amendment from the podium, deliver a direct condemnation of Trump’s behavior, and toast the Constitution in front of the man who has spent years trying to destroy press freedom. This is a remarkable moment: some of the most respected names in American journalism are saying enough is enough. Enough normalizing. Enough smiling and clapping while Trump attacks the free press every single day. The letter makes clear that freedom of the press is not a partisan issue but a cornerstone of democracy, and must be defended. If you support real journalists standing up to Trump’s war on the free press, please like and share this post.

BREAKING: Rep. Melanie Stansbury confirms that Ghislaine Maxwell is BLACKMAILING Trump to try to get a pardon! On MSNBC, Rep. Stansbury (D-NM) just blew the lid off the disgusting scheme: convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is actively offering to clear Donald Trump’s name in hopes he’ll pardon her. “She is trying to gain a pardon by essentially saying that she would exonerate the president when she knows very well that he’s deeply implicated in Epstein’s activities,” Stansbury said. “They were friends for years.” Stansbury confirmed FBI files contain explosive allegations that Trump raped a minor, and Maxwell, a convicted sexual predator, trafficker, and groomer, has mountains of dirt on him. The evidence is overwhelming, and everyone knows it. “She knows she has dirt on him,” Stansbury warned. Maxwell is dangling exoneration because she believes it’s her ticket out of prison – and Trump may be desperate enough to take the deal to hide from the Epstein files. Even the Supreme Court already rejected Maxwell’s attempt to overturn her conviction. But Stansbury says if Trump tries to pardon this monster, there WILL be court action to stop it. The whole Epstein affair is a massive cover-up in plain sight. Trump is so terrified of the Epstein evidence that he is scheming to free one of the most notorious child sex traffickers in history just to save himself. You might ask how could you sink so low? But just think about what he’s done in the past and you have your answer. If the thought of Trump pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell to bury his own Epstein scandals makes you ill, please like and share.

Bring it on as Hegseth is hopeless, between him & Trump they have lost the war badly against Iran🇮🇷 Between America & Israel they deserved to loose due to their arrogance & no plan to win the war. They thought their superior firepower would win out but missiles & drones won 👍

Great spending time with New York City’s Cutest. And thanks to @NYCMayor for giving me an excuse to break out my best “Wheels on the Bus”

That’s only because Trump wants Vance out of the way so he can support Rubio 👎🤬 What he should really be doing is getting rid of Hegseth who is an absolute dud, incompetent and a religious nutter 👹🇺🇸

Virginia, if you haven’t done it already, make a plan to vote YES on the redistricting referendum. You can vote early by April 18 or on Election Day, April 21. Find your polling place at IWillVote.com/VA.

BREAKING: Rep. Jamie Raskin introduces EXPLOSIVE bill to evaluate Trump under 25th Amendment authority — and 50 Democrats immediately sign on as co-sponsors Jamie Raskin has had enough of having a completely demented madman as president. So he's decided to do something about it — with 50 colleagues standing behind him. The top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee introduced legislation Tuesday to establish a "Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office" — a 17-member body authorized under Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to determine whether Donald Trump is mentally and physically capable of serving as president. The evidence Raskin cited in introducing the bill reads like a highlight reel of a presidency in freefall. Trump threatened to destroy "a whole civilization" over a shipping deadline he posted on Truth Social. He published an image of himself as Jesus Christ — then claimed he was portraying himself as a doctor. He attacked Pope Leo, the first American pope in history. He launched an unauthorized war in Iran without a congressional vote, in violation of the War Powers Act. He nearly blurted out classified troop numbers at a press conference before his own Joint Chiefs chair had to stop him. He set four consecutive deadlines against Iran and backed down from every single one. "Public trust in Donald Trump's ability to meet the duties of his office has dropped to unprecedented lows," Raskin said. "We are at a dangerous precipice, and it is now a matter of national security for Congress to fulfill its responsibilities under the 25th Amendment." Let's be honest about the math. The 25th Amendment has never been used to end a presidency. It would require JD Vance and a majority of Trump's own cabinet to declare him unfit — the same cabinet that paid $35 million to buy their jobs and has spent months nodding along to everything Trump says. Then, if Trump disputed it — which he would, loudly, on Truth Social, probably while posting another Jesus picture — two-thirds of both chambers of Congress would have to agree. That's a higher bar than impeachment. Raskin knows this bill won't remove Trump tomorrow. That's not entirely the point. The point is to force a conversation that the White House desperately does not want to have — about a 79-year-old man who is threatening civilizational annihilation on social media, comparing himself to Jesus, ignoring his own generals, hiding war casualties, and calling his diplomatic strategy "J.D. and Steve and Jared." The White House response to Raskin's earlier request for a cognitive evaluation was: "Lightweight Jamie Raskin is a stupid person's idea of a smart person." Which is obviously not the response everyone would like to see: "The president will be happy to take a cognitive test." Meanwhile, Republican Rep. Marlin Stutzman of Indiana reassured everyone that Trump is "one of the greatest presidents our nation has ever seen" and is "making the entire planet safer" — this being the same planet where Austria, Italy, and Spain have closed their airspace to American warplanes, and allies believe America has "lost its mind." Fifty Democratic co-sponsors. A formal bill. A 72-hour medical examination requirement. And a president who responded to questions about his mental fitness by posting a picture of himself as Jesus. Who still thinks we don’t need a commission like Raskin and his co-sponsors have proposed? Please like and share this article if you think the American people deserve to know whether the man with the nuclear codes is truly mentally fit to have them.

BREAKING: "FULLY UNHINGED!" — Hillary Clinton SLAMS Trump’s social media meltdowns, warns allies think America has "lost its mind." Hillary Clinton has finally had enough. The woman whom Donald Trump somehow defeated in his first presidential run can no longer hold her tongue when faced with his devastatingly bizarre and institutionally destructive behavior that harms both our system of government and our nation as a whole. "Trump has become fully unhinged, and we should talk about it," Clinton posted on X — after which she made a beeline to an appearance on MS Now’s Morning Joe and explained exactly what she meant, with the calm fury of someone who has spent decades watching American institutions be tested and knows what it looks like when they're breaking. Clinton said reading Trump's social media posts left her "shaking my head and feeling sick at heart." And the receipts are not hard to find. In the past week alone, Trump threatened to destroy "a whole civilization" over a shipping deadline he set himself on Truth Social, attacked Pope Leo — the first American pope in history — and compared himself to Jesus Christ on social media. "When you look at the last week of unhinged rants coming from Trump's social media account, it's just disgraceful," Clinton said. Hillary reserved particular contempt for Trump and Vance's constant invocations of "Western Civilization" — a phrase they deploy like a weapon while apparently having no idea what it actually means. "I don't think they've ever taken a course in Western Civilization," Clinton said flatly. "Western civilization has a real meaning. It is a meaning about our values, our institutions — how we hold leaders accountable so they don't become autocrats and dictators, and how they don't lead us into reckless wars." On the Iran negotiations — the talks that just collapsed in Pakistan after 21 hours with no deal — Clinton, who helped lay the groundwork for the original Iran nuclear agreement under Obama, was surgical: "You know, two of them, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, they're supposed to solve Ukraine, Iran, Gaza. It's a joke." She noted that real diplomacy requires "hours of sitting in a chair" doing hard, disciplined work — something she knows that Trump and his minions are "unable to do." And then came the warning that should be on the front page of every newspaper in the world: America's closest allies, Clinton said, "believe we've lost our minds." They wake up every morning, like the rest of us, and see the president of the United States ranting on social media, threatening civilizations, attacking the Pope, and comparing himself to Jesus. "A figure of such authority," she said, "making no sense half the time." Those allies are now strengthening their own defenses and building up the European Union — because they have concluded they can no longer rely on the United States as long as this man is in charge. The former Secretary of State who negotiated with world leaders, who sat in those chairs for hours, who helped build the diplomatic architecture that Trump is now burning to the ground — she is watching all of it, reading the posts, and feeling sick. It’s a feeling that’s quite familiar to anyone except Trump’s most hardcore MAGA followers — and the only remedy is Trump’s impeachment and removal from office, unless, of course, a higher power intervenes to stop the blasphemy by natural causes. Please like and share this story if you think "fully unhinged" is a fairly generous description of a president who threatened to destroy a civilization and then compared himself to Jesus in the same week.
