He never had the money to pay for the ballroom. It was always a scam. We were always going to have to pay for it. They were just waiting for the right moment to hit us with the bill. This is now the time.

Mark Carney: "Many of our former strengths, built on our close ties to the US, have become weaknesses. The US has changed. That's their right. And we're responding ... we're deepening our partnerships with our closest allies, including the EU, the Nordic countries, and Australia."

PabloReports: What do you make of Stephen Miller and Tom Homan asking for all this money but then refusing to show up to the hearing today? Frost: That’s what happens when you have a lapdog as speaker.

NEW AND WOW: Secretary of the Navy John Phelan is leaving the Trump administration “effective immediately.” Trump looking for scapegoats for losing the Iran War? Wonder if Pete Hegseth replaces him with his bigoted "Pastor"?! www.cnbc.com/2026/04/22/n...

BREAKING: Secretary of the Navy John Phelan is OUT — effective immediately, according to the Pentagon.

By turning Trump's own redistricting gamble against him, Virginia just changed the math on Congress.

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

Today, President Barack Obama and I read to a group of toddlers at Learning Through Play Pre-K Center in the South Bronx.  In between singing wheels on the bus, we discussed our administration’s vision for this City — one where New York’s Cutest have the strongest start possible.

The worst possible tactic you can use when negotiating a deal with a regime like Iran is to dunk on them in public during negotiations. Any knowledgeable seasoned diplomat knows this. But we have Mr. Art of the Deal who needs to feed his cult and the markets a steady diet of BS.

Who could’ve predicted this would happen?

The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history

Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.

BOYLE: The CBO says the big beautiful bill eliminates healthcare coverage for more than 15 million Americans. Are they really all, according to you, illegals and defrauding the system. That's really your position? RUSS VOUGHT: Yes BOYLE: That's laughable!

ERASING HISTORY: U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro asks court to vacate seditious conspiracy convictions of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and Proud Boys leaders Ethan Nordean & Joseph Biggs, despite jury findings of coordinated efforts to stop the transfer of power.

I don’t see this on here so sharing from fb— 🤦‍♂️ 😠

Even Door Dash Grandma was complete bullshit 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thou dost think that Trump stepped into the ring against someone with much higher powers. #PopeADope

Prices are beginning to rise faster than Americans' wages finance.yahoo.com/economy/arti...

The American president counts Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un as his friends while denouncing the Pope.

As Trump’s foolish defamation case against the Wall Street Journal gets thrown out of court, there’s a larger lesson here: Those who push back against his abuses — news organizations, law firms, universities, et al. — succeed, while those who try appeasement fail. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Even if you were stupid enough to turn yourself into AI Jesus and post it online. It’s a whole new level of stupidity to lay your heavenly hands on a guy who looks just like Epstein in the pic. 😂🤣😂🤦🏻‍♂️

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Mexico is getting universal healthcare. Canada has it. We're in the middle, drowning in medical debt, afraid to get care, and tied to jobs because we can't leave or risk losing our expensive coverage. Republicans...they are why we can't have nice things.

Excited supporters of Péter Magyar and the Tisza Party are already dancing outside Parliament in Budapest. 🇭🇺

The end of Viktor Orbán’s autocratic regime is a victory not just for Hungary, but for people who value democracy around the world. Congratulations to Tisza, to incoming leader Péter Magyar, and to Hungarians everywhere.

Quite possibly the best political sign ever 😂

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

Trump’s mental state is in decline – and it’s time we talked about it www.independent.co.uk/independentp...

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart. And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.
