People in Many Countries Now View China More Positively Than the U.S.

Views of China have improved recently while views of the U.S. have worsened, to the point where China is now seen more positively than the U.S. in most countries surveyed.

Looking forward to the Smithsonian exhibit in a few years that talks about the Trump years as a great catastrophe in American history and Trump as the greatest villain and failure the country has ever known. Who knows, maybe there'll be t-shirts and mugs in the gift shop to commemorate it.

Trump Says Smithsonian Exhibits Need Correction President Donald Trump ordered warning signs outside the Smithsonian telling visitors its exhibits need renovation and correcting what he calls inaccurate American history. theintellectualistofficial.substack.com/p/trump-orde...

You could eat a can of alphabet soup, puke up the contents, and whatever letters hit the floor would spell out something more coherent that any Trump statement these days.

Here's a thought experiment: How much further out there would Trump have to go for the attendees at the White House Stenographers' Association dinner to object? Is there *anything* more he could plausibly do or say that would cross a line for them? I can't think of anything.

This entire administration is just nepotism and grifting all the way down. I hope @oversightdemocrats.bsky.social are ready to hit the ground running when they retake the House, because there are a lot of crooks to prosecute.

There it is. RFK Jr’s son, “Finn” Kennedy recently launched his own investment fund focused on AI in healthcare. It should surprise no one that he worked at 8VC—the investment fund launched by Peter Thiel’s Palantir co-founder (Joe Lonsdale)—in 2025. 4/24/26 … 1/ www.facebook.com/financialtim...

Brian Schatz seems like a good illustration of how staying on Twitter has completely warped some people's perspectives on politics. He used to seem like a smart, decently progressive and now he's sounding like Fetterman Lite

Gross to see a senator skip over the part where the aid was cut off illegally and without warning. Cooking their brains on a right wing owned social media site.

As Elon Musk constantly screeches white supremacist hate speech about “remigration” and “the death of the West,” this New York Times headline from 2022 should remind us of the media cowardice that helped fuel Musk’s power and influence. 1/2🧵

Schulze: "Kennedy has made only one public comment about cyclospora and it was misleading at best. ... Kennedy claimed the cyclosporiasis outbreak was 'under control' (it’s not) and that DOGE cutbacks to food safety programs are not to blame (they are)."

NEW: Kennedy is talking about orange juice, peptide injections, dental fillings & his new TikTok account. The rest of us are trying to figure out if the produce at the local grocery store is safe to eat or not. We need straight answers, not more MAHA nonsense. open.substack.com/pub/jennifer...

This is really pathetic. He blames Biden for depleting our military stockpile [CITATION NEEDED] and then insists no, no, it's not depleted. So there's absolutely nothing wrong and it's all Biden's fault

WELKER: Is America backing away from a larger attack bc our stockpile has been depleted? WALTZ: We have to take a step back. A lot of our stockpiles were depleted because of Biden WELKER: But you acknowledge they're depleted? WALTZ: No. And the people leaking this nonsense deserve to be in jail

Mike Waltz -- the same guy who accidentally added the editor of the Atlantic to a top secret Signal group chat about US strikes in Yemen -- says that people who expose military secrets need to be in jail.

Trump is promoting a Michael Savage video calling for democratic socialism to be made a crime and its leaders deported. I’m noting this in case anyone has any doubt that Trump wants to rule as a dictator. We need to take this stuff seriously.

Ya, leadership that represents the will of the people is the scariest thing these fascist thugs can imagine.

I like this team and I don’t feel bad rooting for them, despite how I feel about the country writ large… BUT… could we get a Beyoncé remake of Country Road or something? Just, you know, just to try it??

When I was a young associate I worked on appeals to the Court of Arbitration for Sports and... I have to imagine every lawyer the USMNT has on retainer is pulling an all-nighter right now figuring out what their options are.

(🚨) So to be very clear, FIFA rules do *not* allow the USMNT to appeal the Balogun red card *on the basis of claiming the referee erred*. But. Under the circumstances, the USMNT should appeal on the very different grounds ESPN just reported on: misapplication of VAR protocols.

Trump is twisting government policies to do favors for people who bribe him. The Republican Party is helping him stuff his pockets. Vote against all Republicans.

I wonder if Trump's staff keeps a running total of how often and how creatively his Cabinet members lie.

I literally have stopped watching American morning news. I watch CBC News, Al Jazeera and BBC News

need to start thinking now about a full package of judicial reforms: new justices, new circuits, new district courts, ethics reforms, docket reforms, and transparency reforms.

We don't discuss enough that one of the hosts of CNBC's morning show is indistinguishable from any of the hosts of Fox News's morning show. Kernen is exactly as partisan and stupid as Kilmeade.

“When Bill Pulte was in his previous position at the Federal Housing Finance Agency, he launched high profile investigations and ultimately criminal referrals of a bunch of Trump's opponents: Letitia James, Lisa Cook, Adam Schiff. He is willing to be a hack for Trump. And that's what Trump wants.”

If your 80-year-old grandpa was insisting that the reason the backyard pool has algae in it is because terrorists are trying to make him look bad and demanding the police arrest somebody, you'd put him in a senior care facility before the end of the day.

Minnesotans are living through a coordinated campaign of retribution from the Trump Administration. Funding cuts. Lawsuits. Terrorizing our citizens. Today, I filed 16 FOIA requests to find out how far this campaign reaches.

Americans should hang their heads in utter humiliation for having elected this cretinous scumbag. No voters— at any time, in any nation, at any point in history— have chosen more poorly. America has precisely the president they deserve— and insisted upon.

Republicans really know how to harvest stupidity.
