The IRS, which of course is a federal agency within the Trump administration, is “in talks” with Trump about settling his $10 billion lawsuit. www.denverpost.com/2026/04/17/t...

Our dementia-addled president thinks the Strait of Hormuz is called the Strait of Iran, and I swear to God we are living in the dumbest timeline

JUST IN: Judge McElroy, a Trump appointee, continues DOJ’s unbroken losing streak in efforts to obtain state voter rolls. She calls it a “fishing expedition.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

HARDER: The Trump admin allows coal plants to emit twice as much mercury. How are these actions consistent w/your agenda to make kids healthy? RFK Jr: I'm not familiar w/ what's happening at EPA, so I'd have to ask Zeldin H: You made a career out of fighting mercury pollution RFK Jr: Call Zeldin

Tulsi Gabbard’s latest ridiculous antics are clearly a performative display intended to satisfy an audience of one as she desperately tries to avoid getting fired. For now, however, I think it’s probably working as intended. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Hey, what’s the latest on Alex Pretti’s murder? What’s the status of that investigation? Are the ICE and CBP agents still in the field? We cannot let them get away with sweeping his execution—and all the others—under the rug.

This isn't being talked about enough: President Trump is hosting a gala at Mar-a-Lago next week for the top 297 holders of his #$TRUMP memecoin. Not only is this blatantly corrupt, it's a national security threat.

It’s been overshadowed by Venezuela and especially Iran, but the deadly boat bombing campaign is still going, even though: -There’s no war -The US wasn’t attacked or under threat -Drug traffickers aren’t terrorists -These may not be traffickers -It’s blatantly illegal -With no clear strategy either

I think a lot of podcasters in this vein should be interpreted as “reactionary” in the most literal sense that they are extremely vacuous and form their politics by following trends of resentment against whatever they see on social media

In case anyone is still confused

Hungary's prime minister elect announcing that Orbán was funding CPAC and other Trump-related political activities (also Heritage Foundation's Project 2025), and this will now end.

I kept waiting for the audience laughter at the end only to realize this wasn’t an SNL fake C-SPAN voiceover

Same old pattern: Fox: Throws egregious softball to Trump Trump: Beats ball boy with bat, squats and defecates on Home Plate

"Trump still seems to believe that negotiations he has as president are basically the same as strong-arming a small business into giving him a better deal on some new curtains for one of his hotels. Preparation, understanding, and patience are for the weak." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social

somebody media trained grandma

i just scoffed so hard i started coughing bsky.app/profile/atru...

THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.

Trump makes a profane post threatening genocide on Easter, trashes the Pope for refusing to worship him, and posts a depiction of himself as Jesus healing the sick. The right-wing political pastors who promoted this scumbag fake Christian as someone chosen by God are charlatans.

Even his cultists on Truth Social aren’t thrilled with this one from the demented megalomaniac.

Not real but also perfection

If you’re a reporter planning to ask a Republican member of Congress about Trump’s attack on Pope Leo, just know they’re going to pretend like they haven’t seen it. They’re lying, so go ahead and bring a copy with you to show them.

Apparently the Vicar of Christ is "Weak on Nuclear Weapons." Who knew?

Also—say what?

an all-timer for "imagine how JD Vance would react if a democrat said any of this"

Don’t let the first insane thing he wrote distract you from the second insane thing he wrote: “I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran.”

Reagan’s OMB Director:

This picture should haunt Secretary of State Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat and the National Security Advisor, who is complicit in this disastrous war (cc @dandrezner.bsky.social). The NYT reporting shows he had reservations and did nothing to try to stop it. And gutted the State Dept.

So the Trump administration’s two goals in peace talks with Iran are: 1. A commitment by Iran not to develop a nuke (This was part of the Obama deal that Trump canceled) 2. Opening the Strait of Hormuz. (Was open before war.)

I love that the people who rail against participation trophies are led by a guy who's entire existence is getting the global equivalent of participation trophies

There hasn’t been exciting space-based activity for like 12 hours, let’s get going here people.

We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war. Art of the deal, baby.

He includes the stock ticker, of course

I still think it should be a bigger story that Trump had the Pentagon threaten the Vatican and Pope Leo for opposing their warmongering. I know there’s a lot going on, but that is insane.

but i was told it was already reopened i mean the smartest people in the world (wall street investors) made the market go up and everything

PSA: *reporting* Israel is bombing “Hezbollah” in Lebanon is like saying Israel is only bombing “Hamas” in Gaza — when we can all see them hitting civilians, apartment buildings, ambulances etc… all you do when you use their preferred words is sacrifice your own credibility.

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war. This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does. It’s a self goal. Actions have consequences

It remains truly maddening that the “significant achievement” some are now pointing to as the best possible outcome of this horrific war is a half-assed, much worse version of what was negotiated more than a decade ago in the JCPOA. Diplomacy worked. War failed. www.axios.com/2026/04/08/u...

“The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” www.cnbc.com/2026/04/08/s...

at some point conservatives should have to do something that makes the world better if they want to keep winning elections

I’m at a park trying to scrub my brain clean of the day and even the sunset looks like a fucking mushroom cloud

I can’t wait to kick your ass. I fucking hate you. I’m going to murder you and your family. *fakes getting and taking a phone call while making a big frown* Okay. If you say so. Bye, mom. *hangs up what is overtly not a call* That was my mom. She said I can’t. You’re so lucky

Others have posted this, but here's the evidence that Pakistan's Prime Minister's purported request that Trump delay was drafted for him by an English speaker.

"Action News reached out to every Republican member of Congress representing the Philadelphia region, including Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick, Ryan Mackenzie, Dan Meuser and Jeff Van Drew, as well as Sen. Dave McCormick. None responded or agreed to an interview." Fucking cowards.

donald trump, famous observer of rules

ROME (AP) — Pope says President Donald Trump’s threat to destroy Iranian civilization “truly unacceptable,” as deadline approaches.

So trump filled his cabinet with sychophants who lifted their faces off the floor a few inches to tell him war with Iran was a dumb idea and he ignored them because he’s never faced a consequence in his entire life www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...
