Trump officials have been peddling the same lies to survive the daily news cycle for the past 6 weeks, and people keep buying what they’re selling. ‘We won the war. Tomorrow you’ll see. Prices are coming down. Tomorrow you’ll see. We’ll kill them. Tomorrow you’ll see.’

NASA wasn’t “closed” before Trump. The US doesn’t pay NATO anywhere close to “trillions of dollars” or “hundreds of billions of dollars a year.” Trump hasn’t built anywhere close to “over 1,000 miles of wall.” Trump hasn’t “ended eight wars.” It’s not true that “nobody” else has ended a war. Trump didn’t achieve “no tax on Social Security.” Ruth Bader Ginsburg died weeks before a presidential election, not right after one. Senator Thom Tillis is still a senator.   And more. Quick fact check of some of Trump’s many false claims on Fox this morning: cnn.com/2026/04/15/pol…

THIS IS HOW YOU DO IT

George Conway on Trump: “We have to get rid of this guy. We have to impeach and remove him. This criminal regime that acts only in his best interest instead of the interest of the people, that spends money on ICE instead of on healthcare. We’re not gonna survive 33 more months of what we’ve seen in the past 15”

@atrupar Oh, now it's the last term?

Sen. Tuberville: "Almost 80 million people voted not for Democrat or Republican. They voted for Donald Trump. And he deserves to get everything in as quick as possible during this last term that he's in."

Americans must not shrug off Donald Trump’s latest social-media implosion—too much is at risk to keep dismissing his dysfunction, @RadioFreeTom argues. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…

@MollyJongFast I may be coming around, too...

You guys, I don’t think he’s a very good president

Keep telling them, George!

We can't keep looking away from his emotional and cognitive issues. The attack on the Pope was the beginning of a full night of melting down. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/04/…

@JessicaTarlov They are incapable of embarrassment...

This is just embarrassing...

@jasonmyrt Seriously! Right?

1:08pm the Day After the Flyers completed an EPIC finish to make the playoffs...and I am still BUZZING!!!

@BohuslavskaKate The words are "fucking barbarians".

An 8‑year‑old boy was killed in Cherkasy as a result of russian shahed drone attack‼️ Fucking barbarians. I have no words.

“There are two questions in confronting authoritarianism. The first is: Can you defeat the aspiring authoritarians through nonviolent means? The second is: If you defeat them, are you willing to make life harder for the next aspiring authoritarian?” thebulwark.com/p/its-not-enou…

It does explain things...

Todd Blanche needs a reminder that there’s a legally binding subpoena for documents that is different than the law. This investigation is not a hoax. The DOJ needs to release the rest of files.

@GrittyNHL 😄

prepare to be sick of me

Randi Weingarten to @PatrioticMills: "We have to make it easy for somebody to see hope and light. Whether you call them fascists, authoritarians, or feudalistic lords like Peter Thiel, they rely on fear, division, apathy, and isolation. It's really hate vs. hope."

@SlavaMalamud @NHL ✊

The Buffalo Sabres are Atlantic Division champions and they have no Russians on the roster (and neither do the Bills, incidentally). Kind of makes you think whether the @NHL really needed to betray its self-proclaimed values by shielding Putin operatives.

@JoyceWhiteVance @MattieTimmer Well, he has.

Swalwell has announced his resignation from Congress. It’s impossible not to ask why Texas Republican Tony Gonzales hasn’t done the same. And why the GOP doesn’t insist the Epstein files, which repeatedly mention the head of their party, be fully released.

@charlieo_conn Should that even be allowed?

Looks like all of the players thought to be out of the lineup for Carolina tonight -- Aho, Slavin, Svechnikov, Jarvis, Gostisbehere, Staal -- are indeed sitting out tonight. I don't see any of them on the ice for warmups.
