"Who the hell wrote that?" Trump stops mid-speech to ask what a "corner store" is

The guy who's somehow managed to convince an alarming number of Americans that he's a real "man of the people" is so fundamentally out of touch, so disconnected from reality, so unfathomably privileged, he stopped mid-speech — about tax cuts for small businesses! — to ask outloud what the hell a "corner store" was. Donald Trump, born in New York City in 1946, doesn't know what a bodega is. Let that sink in for a second.

We shouldn't really be all that surprised, to be honest. This is the same man who declared "groceries" an old-fashioned word a few months ago. Champion of the people and voice of the forgotten Donald Trump finds both the concept of groceries and the buildings in which they're sold to be foreign mysteries. Beyond parody.

VIDEO OF THE DAY: Pope calls out "handful of tyrants" and "masters of war" ravaging the world as feud with Trump explodes

Speaking in Cameroon on his 11-day apostic journey to Africa, Pope Leo XIV held nothing back in his escalating war of words and ideas with America's vainglorious imbecile-in-chief. Leo lamented a "world turned upside down" by a "handful of tyrants" and took dead aim at the president of the United States when he declared: "Woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth."

"The masters of war pretend not to know that it takes only a moment to destroy, yet often a lifetime is not enough to rebuild," the pontiff added.

When the Vicar of Christ starts paraphrasing Bob Dylan anti-war anthems, you know things have truly gone off the rails.

Earthjustice doesn't give up. They go to court

Earthjustice: With 50+ lawsuits filed against the Trump administration and more on the way, Earthjustice is using the law to fight back — and they're winning. The courts give every American the right to stand up for their health, their communities, and their environment, and Earthjustice shows up to make that right real. As a nonprofit, every lawsuit they file is funded entirely by donors. No corporate backing, no special interests — just people who believe the law should protect everyone. This Earth Month, donations to Earthjustice will be matched 2:1, tripling the impact on the fights that will define our environment for generations.


"Fuck his ass!" Congresswoman rages against Trump
Pablo Manríquez of Migrant Insider and MeidasTouch asked California Democratic Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove if she was worried about the economic impact Donald Trump's war in Iran was having on the country's national debt, and Kamlager-Dove...did not hold back.

"Oh my God, yes of course I am," she replied. "Stevie Wonder can even see how much this war is costing us. So, gas prices are going up. It’s almost $10 in California. And fertilizer’s going up. I mean, you name it, prices have gone up. And this dude, Dr. Jesus, ok, is wanting to spend $2 billion of your money every single day rather than help you get healthcare. Fuck his ass!" Stand by for faux right-wing outrage over salty language from the party currently bending over backwards to absolve Donald for sharing sacrilegious AI slop.

Take Action: Demand Congress pay for healthcare, not war!

Franklin Graham says Pope Leo should be thanking Trump, defends AI Jesus slop

Well, speak of the devil... Franklin Graham, perhaps the most prominent evangelical leader in the country, dutifully came to the defense of his Lord and savior the degenerate nincompoop-in-chief amid the ongoing fallout from the blasphemous AI slop he shared on Orthodox Easter. Donald Trump has understandably faced withering criticism for sharing an AI-generated image that depicted him performing a miracle healing as Jesus Christ.

Graham, again, one the world's most recognizable evangelical figures and ostensibly someone who really, really believes in the Bible, dismissed the controversy yesterday, arguing that he didn't believe Trump would “knowingly depict himself as Jesus,” and that he accepted the White House’s absolute horseshit explanation: that Trump thought he was a doctor. "When I looked at the illustration, I didn't jump to the same conclusion as some," Graham wrote. "There were no spiritual references — no halo, there were no crosses, no angels. It was a flag, soldiers, a nurse, fighter planes, eagles, the Statue of Liberty, and I think this is a lot to do about nothing."

Folks, there is nothing the MAGA cult leader will do that these people won't find a way to excuse.

Take Action: No war on Cuba! Pass a war powers resolution and end the humanitarian crisis!

Senate votes to end ban on mining in Boundary Waters after Sen. Tina Smith's hours-long speech
In a 50-49 vote, Senate Majority Leader John Thune’s caucus voted to open up 250,000 acres of pristine, natural wilderness in Minnesota to a Chilean mining company, Antofagasta, so they can dig a copper sulfide mine that will devastate the local environment.

Republicans ignored a five-hour speech by Democratic Sen. Tina Smith, a two-year Forest Service study, and over 650,000 comments from the public urging them to vote "no" and instead chose to give another handout to a billionaire Trump crony. When we say these people are the absolute worst, this is exactly what we mean.


Iran peace deal could take six months, Gulf and Europe leaders say
Some Gulf and European leaders reportedly fear that it could take six months or more to negotiate a US-Iran peace deal, amid calls to urgently reopen the Strait of Hormuz to avoid severe food and energy supply shocks globally.

Timely reminder that ALL of this could've easily been avoided if the MAGA cult leader could've just accepted the fact that his predecessor, Barack Obama, had successfully negotiated a landmark deal with Iran in 2015 to curb its nuclear enrichment program to take nuclear weapons off the table in exchange for sanctions relief. But doing so would've meant giving credit to a Democrat — and a Black Democrat at that — and, well, that was clearly too big a pill for Donald to swallow.


Zohran Mamdani announces new plan to tax the incredibly rich
Weeping and moaning instantly broke out from the mouthpieces of the oligarchy when New York City's hardline Muslim Communist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, announced he would be implementing a new tax on...second properties — also known as pied-à-terres — worth over $5 million. "NYC is cooked," wailed Austin-based entrepreneur Jason Calacanis. "Actually one of the scariest things I have seen," cried Linda Yaccarino, the former CEO of Twitter under Elon Musk. Yes, when will the tyranny end?! Soon Mamdani and his brute squad will be coming for hard-working plumbers and schoolteachers when THEY buy $5 million vacation homes! Oh, the humanity!


Progressive Democrat Analilia Mejia wins New Jersey special election for US House
The Democrats' special election winning streak continued last night, as progressive champion Analilia Mejia handily won the open US House vacated by current New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill. Mejia easily defeated Republican Joe Hathaway on a simple message of standing up to the tyrannical policies of Donald Trump.

With nearly 90% of the votes counted Mejia enjoyed a nearly 20-point margin of victory, despite being branded a "socialist" by Hathaway and being targeted by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the most influential pro-Israel lobby in the country. Kamala Harris carried the same district by 9 points in the last presidential election. Let's harness these headwinds and trigger a blue tsunami in November, people!

We delivered over 500,000 comments to the USFS

 


EARTHJUSTICE | BECAUSE THE EARTH NEEDS A GOOD LAWYER

 

The fight’s not over — here’s what’s next in our quest to protect our public lands
TAKE ACTION

When Trump announced that he would be taking away this landmark conservation rule, environmental advocates — including Earthjustice actiontakers like you — spoke out.
Over 500,000 people across the country submitted public comments to the United States Forest Service on protecting the Roadless Rule — a landmark conservation policy that protects over 45 millions of acres from roadbuilding and clearcutting. Ninety-nine percent of those public comments opposed rescinding the rule.
This rule is one of the most critical policies that helps defend our forests. These letters sent a clear message to the Service: we need the Roadless Rule to protect our forests.
Participating in public comment periods is essential to the rulemaking process and can serve as a legal basis for taking the administration to court. Right now, the United States Forest Service is reviewing everything that came into the docket and will be making a final proposal on rescinding the Roadless Rule next spring.
Over 67,000 Earthjustice supporters sent in letters to the Service, telling them that the Service must leave the Roadless Rule intact. As the Trump administration tries to sell out our forests for corporate gain, we’ll fight together to protect them.
Let’s keep up the pressure and tell Congress to reject efforts to clear-cut our forests.
TAKE ACTION

We're defending the Boundary Waters in court

 


EARTHJUSTICE | BECAUSE THE EARTH NEEDS A GOOD LAWYER
 
The future of the Boundary Waters is at stake.

The Trump administration is attempting to greenlight a sulfide ore mine that could irreversibly poison the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness in yet another attack on our nation’s public lands.
Northern Minnesota's Boundary Waters are a vast network of more than 1,000 lakes and 1,200 miles of rivers and streams. These waters are so pure that visitors will often drink straight from them. But the Trump administration wants to open this watershed up to toxic mining.
Earthjustice is fighting the Trump administration in court to stop the Twin Metals Mine and uphold a 20-year mining ban that has protected the Boundary Waters for decades. 
Your support helps fund our lawsuits against Trump’s unprecedented attacks on the environment. We’re prepared to meet this moment across the country — as our public lands, our communities’ health, and our hard-won progress towards a sustainable future comes under threat. 
Please, donate today to help our 200+ lawyers continue their work on behalf of our partners and clients for free.

What’s special about the Boundary Waters?
  • The BWCA is part of the Superior National Forest, which contains 20% of all the fresh water in the National Forest System, dispersed across small and big lakes, rivers, creeks, and bogs. All that fresh water is constantly moving and flowing into itself, meaning any threat to its headwaters endangers the entire network. 
  • The northeastern Minnesota tourism industry built around the wilderness area supports 17,000 jobs and brings in approximately $1.1 billion annually. In the summer, recreationalists paddle canoes, camp, and fish. In the winter they snowshoe, dogsled and icefish. 
  • The environment is notably pristine and wild. The waters are clear and visitors will sometimes drink from them directly. The area is a dark sky sanctuary, often sporting vibrant northern lights displays.
What’s so dangerous about the Twin Metals Mine? 
  • Sulfide ore mining produces sulfuric acid, which could permanently pollute and alter the waters the ecosystems are built around.  

  • There has never been a sulfide ore mine in Minnesota. In fact, sulfide ore mining has never been done safely anywhere, let alone at the headwaters of an interconnected lake system.  

What can I do?  
For years, advocates for the Boundary Waters have successfully fought off sulfide ore mining in the region. Earthjustice is taking the fight to court to keep the Trump administration from reversing a 20-year mining ban that would make it possible for the Twin Metals mining project to move forward. 
At Earthjustice, we represent our clients free of charge. We go to court to protect our precious biodiversity, keep our public lands wild, and make our daily lives healthier — all because supporters like you trust us and offer their time, energy, and resources. Donate today and help fund our lawsuits against the Trump administration.
