Humility is not weakness. It is discipline. “We do not lead by standing above others, but by kneeling beside them.” That is the choice before us. An Easter Message That Matters ethicsstupid.com/accountability…

Thanks to this president WE ARE the terrorists, now.

Negotiations fail. Donald Trump’s new gambit: Blockade the Strait. Who cares if a quarter of the world’s oil runs through it? Not MAGA supporters. Guess Jared couldn't pull it off. Is he next to go?

Trump now threatens military action against Iran if they challenge blockade, China with 50 percent tariffs if they help Iran.

How low can Trump go? Low enough to attack the Pope. This isn’t political. It’s moral. “If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican” ethicsstupid.com/uncategorized/…

Before posting that joke or jab about Donald Trump, ask: What does it accomplish? Mockery doesn’t change minds—it hardens them. Like sports fans, people double down. We want less division, less contempt, and more respect. We don’t have to agree, but we do have to live together.

Fully 55% of Americans say Trump does not have the mental soundness to serve as president, according to Fox News poll, up 7 points since late 2024 and near the high of 56% in 2023. foxnews.com/politics/fox-n…

THE RAMIFICATIONS OF SATURDAY'S ATTACK There’s a line that once held: between words and consequences, between disagreement and danger. We don’t talk about it much anymore. But what happens when that line no longer holds? When the Line No Longer Holds ethicsstupid.com/accountability…

The First Lady condemned Jimmy Kimmel for “violent rhetoric.” In response to lawmakers who reminded military personnel that they do not have to carry out illegal orders, President Trump responded: “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” The contrast speaks for itself.

Trump’s greatest threat isn’t his perceived enemies or late-night comics. It’s his ego. It feeds on praise and power, bends truth to serve itself, and erases the line between strength and self-interest. Leaders like Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin don’t confront it—they use it.

Former FBI Director James Comey has been indicted on charges tied to an alleged threat against President Donald Trump. He appeared in court and was released without conditions. His attorneys say they will challenge the case as “vindictive and selective prosecution."

House oversight hearing on Iran devolved into a war between Def. Sec. Pete Hegseth and the Committee on Oversight and Accountability. Oversight is about ACCOUNTABILITY, NOT ATTACKS. Yet Hegseth deflected and dodged questions. Americans deserve accountability, not instability.

When Trump pulled out of the international nuclear agreement with Tehran in 2018, Iran lacked even a single bomb's worth of uranium. Since then, it accumulated 22,000 pounds of enriched uranium. Blacki Migliozzi William J. Broad nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Six of America's wealthiest billionaires spent more than $100 million apiece to help get Donald Trump elected president. That's a broken campaign finance system. And it desperately needs reform. nytimes.com/2026/05/06/us/…
