AlterNet Crooks and Liars Daily Kos (Note: these articles are from RSS News Feeds websites, and are deleted after 30 days, April 26, 2026 at 3:31 PM EDT More than friendly to fascists both abroad and at home, the Trump administration is now seeking to destroy the Southern Poverty Law Center -- historically one of the nation's most powerful and effective opponents of the Ku Klux Klan, American neo-Nazis and other white supremacist movements. This was the latest in a long series of signals from the White House to the president's swastika-flying fans. It means that such groups need no longer fear a resolute federal response to their criminality. April 26, 2026 at 2:44 PM EDT President Donald Trump was the seeming victim of an assassination attempt on Saturday -- and one ex-presidential adviser, who served Trump's Republican predecessor, says the president himself bears partial responsibility for what happened. "This isn't normal," wrote Steve Schmidt, a former adviser to President George W. Bush, on Sunday. "It isn't random. And no matter how loudly the MAGA movement insists, it isn't the fault of Donald Trump's critics. The argument that criticism of Donald Trump somehow incites violence against him isn't just wrong. It's an inversion of reality so brazen that it demands to be confronted directly." April 26, 2026 at 2:24 PM EDT Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) criticized Democrats for opposing President Donald Trump's proposed White House ballroom, prompting some of those same Democrats to point out the obvious: Because the White House Correspondents Dinner is a private event, it would never have been held at the White House, and therefore a ballroom would have made no difference. "We were there front and center," Fetterman posted on X on Sunday. "That venue wasn't built to accommodate an event with the line of succession for the U.S. government. After witnessing last night, drop the TDS and build the White House ballroom for events exactly like these." April 26, 2026 at 2:14 PM EDT President Donald Trump plans on meeting with King Charles III on Monday -- and if early reports are to be believed, the encounter could be quite embarrassing for both men. "Trump has always been very receptive to the pageantry that comes with hobnobbing with royalty - but the King is also grappling with a family crisis that may cast another awkward shadow over his interactions with the president," wrote The Independent's Alex Hannaford on Sunday. Citing both Trump's criticism of Prime Minister Keir Starmer for not helping him in his war against Iran and the longstanding friendship between Trump, Charles' brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, Hannaford pointed out that millions in America and the United Kingdom question why there have not been legal consequences in America as existed in Britain. April 26, 2026 at 2:09 PM EDT The Supreme Court is so determined to kowtow to President Donald Trump, and so willing to openly politicize the bench, that it is losing tremendous credibility. "In the past few weeks, two Supreme Court justices offered comments that were greeted with outrage and condemnation," wrote Jesse Wegman, senior fellow at the Brennan Center for Justice, for The New York Times on Sunday. "The episodes were unrelated, but together they offer a revealing glimpse of the state of the Supreme Court, on the verge of momentous rulings in the weeks ahead. Only one justice issued a public apology -- the wrong justice." April 26, 2026 at 11:06 AM EDT A flesh-eating bacteria known as Vibrio was discovered all over Long Island -- and authorities are issuing warnings about it. Causing the disease vibriosis, people infected with Vibrio can suffer symptoms including nausea, diarrhea, cramps, nausea, chills and sometimes even death, according to Grist. On average there are 80,000 cases of vibriosis each year, with roughly 100 fatalities. April 26, 2026 at 9:09 AM EDT US President Donald Trump used a lone gunman's storming of the lobby outside the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night to promote his $400 million White House ballroom project, which is riddled with glaring conflicts of interest. Speaking at a press conference after being evacuated from the Washington Hilton hotel hosting the White House Correspondents' Dinner, Trump declared that "this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we're planning at the White House." The president added that "we need the ballroom," saying, "We need levels of security that probably nobody's ever seen before." April 26, 2026 at 8:47 AM EDT Trump is making insane proclamations about Iran again, sabotaging efforts at peace by his unqualified, incompetent negotiating team. He's lying to his supporters about obvious things like the price of gasoline. He's not sleeping, up all night shouting in all-caps at anybody who will listen and, during the day, literally screaming at his aides. His former-heroin-addicted brainworm-infected head of Human Services, who has absolutely no training or experience in medicine or public health, is destroying America's public health. His wrestling billionaire head of education is shutting down the US Education Department. April 26, 2026 at 8:20 AM EDT President Donald Trump's administration is falling apart, despite America being in the middle of two wars, and this can be explained by one word: Entitlement "When a group of senior figures in an Administration depart, it's natural to suspect political dark arts""that one faction has forced the exit of another," wrote The New Yorker's Benjamin Wallace-Wells on Sunday. "But there is no such obvious distinction now: those who have been pushed out and those who so far remain are all hard-line MAGA. Instead, scandals have provided rolling revelations of a general unseriousness." April 26, 2026 at 8:10 AM EDT Federal judges have received more than 800 threats since Trump's rhetoric intensified -- and retired members of the judiciary are now speaking out. "According to the U.S. Marshals Service, there were 564 threats against federal judges in 2025 and there have been 275 already this year," wrote USA Today's Rex Huppke on Sunday. "The Marshals Service asked Congress for an additional $34 million in April, noting that 'the threat environment' is 'unlikely to decrease in the foreseeable future.'" April 25, 2026 at 2:12 PM EDT Before President Donald Trump headed off to Washington, DC., on Saturday for the White House Correspondents Dinner he first had to face top investors in his Trump meme coin crypto scheme at Mar-a-Lago -- just as his cryptocurrency is in freefall. But MS NEWS reporter Alex Tabet said the value and pay-off of the money purchase isn't as important as the act of dumping money into a hole that apparently buys access to the president. April 25, 2026 at 1:34 PM EDT Zeteo editors made clear that they will not be attending the Saturday White House Correspondents' Dinner. They were equally vocal about their reasons. "We will not join our media colleagues in partying with Donald Trump, an authoritarian who seeks to curtail the First Amendment and criminalize journalism, who puts masked agents on the street to racially profile and kidnap people and kill people, who jails foreign students for their pro-Palestine speech, who seeks to denaturalize US citizens, who has made it US policy to summarily execute people at sea, who is massacring children and threatening the global economy with his disastrous war in Iran," said editors. |
