Live to tape, historian and author Arthur Milnes regales us with tales of the US presidents and Canadian prime ministers he has known. He talks about chaining up Nixon in the back yard (not the way it sounds); his presidential and prime ministerial-planted garden, what happened when his wife learned he'd offered to put up Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter, and more. https://shorturl.at/rsEqD at bluevotecafe.com, or wherever you get your podcasts! #demsabroad #bluevotecafe #politics #USpol #USpolitics

As well as spending millions of dollars to defeat progressive candidates, and spinning off a spiderweb of sub pacs, #AIPAC has gone full scorched earth to elect republicans in midterms by talking about how Dems take money from aipac. Easy problem to solve y’all. Don’t take money from foreign terrorists, it’s not hard. If you have taken their money, be public about giving it back and why. Other countries are not supposed to be allowed to meddle in our elections. Why is it ok when it’s #Israel? https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/aipac-3rd-congressional-district-314-action-fund-united-democracy-project-20260424.html #uspol #gop #dems #pacs #illegalcampaignspending

Will Bunch with his incisive take on the big picture: "Right outside the ballroom at the Washington Hilton, the gunfire was still echoing, a Secret Service agent whose bulletproof vest apparently deflected a bullet was speeding to the hospital, ... Yet inside, the first instinct of the president and the media superstars of an America comfortably numb to gun violence was to party on." https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/trump-dinner-shooting-violent-america-20260426.html #UsPol 1/n

"There has, of course, been wall-to-wall coverage since the shots rang out, but one thing that seems unexplored is how this all looks to the rest of the world. They see what could have been the best democracy on earth destroyed by madness, in a land where guns are everywhere and a callous elite media dons formalwear to toast its own humiliation by our narcissist king." https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/trump-dinner-shooting-violent-america-20260426.html?id=aILEqJvkLG2qH&utm_source=social&utm_campaign=gift_link&utm_medium=referral #USPol #Media

Trump telling O'Donnell "I'm not a rapist. I am not a pedophile" is the new "I am not a crook" #uspol #60Minutes #Trump #WHCA

How's electing a businessman working out? "The Biden administration in 2022 had estimated the work would cost $3.3 million. But Mr. Trump’s government agreed to pay Clark $11.9 million to do it." #trump #news #uspol #politics #facetime https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/us/politics/lafayette-park-fountains-trump-contract.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

Every word of Prof. Murphy's presentation here is equally applicable to the US. Nine letters in three acronyms would utterly transform human civilization: #LVT #UBI #MMT. We could do this virtually overnight, if we could just convince people of the truth of how economies actually function. #economics #USpol #LandValueTax #SingleTax #UniversalBasicIncome #ModernMonetaryTheory #taxation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GonO5dEpnL8

Why was the shooter of the press correspondent's dinner shown naked? Did they strip him or did he attack buck ass naked? Just curious. I've never seen a suspect stripped in public. Weird that they were so eager to strip him that they couldn't wait to do it later. Why isn't patting someone down not enough anymore? Is this new police procedure? 🤔 #uspol

“Overall, knowing only the scattered reports we still know about 12 hours later, this mostly appears like presidential security working as it is intended. It’s not — and shouldn’t be — the job of the Secret Service to secure the whole building. There was a threat to the president and it was stopped well before it could pose a threat to the president.” https://www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/a-quick-analysis-of-last-night-s-shooting #USPol

(apologies for the source): https://nypost.com/2026/04/26/us-news/whcd-gunman-cole-allen-sent-anti-trump-manifesto-to-family-just-before-opening/ “Turning the other cheek is for when you yourself are oppressed. I’m not the person raped in a detention camp. I’m not the fisherman executed without trial,” “I’m not a schoolkid blown up, or a child starved, or a teenage girl abused by the many criminals in this administration. Turning the other cheek when someone else is oppressed is not Christian behavior; it is complicity in the oppressor’s crimes.” “In order to minimize casualties, I will also be using buckshot rather than slugs (less penetration through walls). I would still go through most everyone here to get to the targets if it were absolutely necessary (on the basis that most people chose to attend a speech by a pedophile, rapist, and traitor, and are thus complicit) but I really hope it doesn’t come to that.” #Uspol #trump #Maga #fascism #ice #epstein #WHCA #coleAllen

RE: https://mastodon.world/@ginaintheburg/116471932519765196 Christopher O'Leary on MSnow: someone said Patel didn't look like a man in charge, running around all over the place, "he looked like someone on the phone calling his mom to pick him up at the prom." #WHCD #USpol

"Trump on Friday fired all 24 members of the National Science Board (NSB), the body that oversees the National Science Foundation (NSF). Many science advocates see it as the latest step by his administration to erode—some would say destroy—the independence of the 76-year-old research agency." Quite likely, the board will be replaced by loyalists. Even if not, the WH will decide which "science" gets funded and which orgs get the funding. https://www.science.org/content/article/trump-fires-nsf-s-oversight-board #Science #UsPol 1/n
