Cartoonists are chronicling the madness of this moment in real time.

I suggest Papa Leo introduce the "Chicago Style" of excommunication, just for adult American converts like Vance.

Trump: Cave or we kill you all. Iran: no Trump: Ok what if we give you everything you want and stop bombing you Iran: um ok Israel: shit, we better bomb Lebanon Lebanon: wtf Iran: wtf Vance: nobody mentioned you Pakistan: they were literally in the text Trump: … I totally won Iran: u ok?

Extremely not thrilled with how Vance is getting talked up in the media as a stabilizing force in the White House.

Mines and explosive remnants of war pose a grave threat to children across #Ukraine. Zakhar, 12, was injured by a grenade. As his recovery continues, he hopes to ride his bicycle again. 📹🖊️: UNISEF Ukraine

I can’t let go of this story - and these photos. A dog and a cat were evacuated from the front line by Ukrainian Defenders using a drone. The animals flew more than 12 km and are now safe. If they made it, then we can do so much more - and we will.

24,000 UGV missions in 2026. 24,000 times, machines moved forward instead of people. Fewer risks for our defenders, growing pressure on the enemy. 📹🖊️: Defense of Ukraine

🐾💔 Ruins. A destroyed residential neighborhood in the Zhytomyr region. And in the middle of the wreckage stands a dog, crying in a way almost unbearable to hear. It is impossible to watch this video without tears. Every life matters. Every life is priceless. 📹 DSNS/Telegram

🤬 Kharkiv came under a Russian drone attack overnight, with drones repeatedly striking rescue teams as they arrived at the sites of earlier hits. Russia has continued its daily campaign of attacks on civilians over the week.

💔 Russia is stripping Ukraine of its historic architectural heritage. In Velykyi Burluk, Kharkiv Oblast, a Russian drone strike destroyed the house of the Donets-Zakharzhevskyi family, a 19th-century wooden architectural landmark built in 1835.

Column by Michelle Singletary: With millions of workers lacking access to workplace retirement plans, the Labor Department has decided that a more pressing matter is giving Wall Street firms access to a lucrative market — your 401(k).

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin, a potential candidate to be President Trump’s next attorney general, praised the Heartland Institute, a climate denial group, for questioning climate change impacts and repealing the EPA’s endangerment finding.

Some Trump administration officials will be able to use a $70 million luxury plane that former homeland security secretary Kristi Noem said was being acquired for deportations.

Before President Trump announced a suspension of U.S. attacks on Iran for two weeks, the U.S. Energy Information Administration suggested that it could take months before the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz leads to lower energy prices. https://wapo.st/4cduZmn

We teamed up with Texas Civil Rights Project today and sued U.S. Customs and Border Protection for withholding public records on plans to build border walls through the #BigBend region of Texas. More info: biodiv.us/4dzdxv4

BREAKING: we're suing CBP for hiding plans to wall off Big Bend. CBP refuses to release basic details, leaving local communities, outfitters & landowners in the dark. This wall would permanently destroy their livelihoods—and CBP won’t say a word to them. biologicaldiversity.org/w/news/press...

Despite the fragile ceasefire deal, only 5% of traffic through the strait has occurred.

Impeach, impeach, prevent his reach. Imperialism imperils us all.

Iran read Art of the Deal and did the complete opposite.

Just to underscore a point: Israel does not "keep Jews safe." Iran is home to one of the largest Jewish populations in the ME outside Israel, yet Israel is bombing the very neighborhoods where most Jews live. This week they bombed a *synagogue on Pesach.* www.newsweek.com/israel-react...

As President Donald Trump’s unauthorized war on Iran with Israel entered into its second month, some Democratic officials were looking around and wondering: Where are the anti-war protests this time around? And why are college campuses so quiet? @lauren-egan.bsky.social takes a look.

Absurd. After Pope Leo criticized Trump's war in Iran, Pentagon officials reportedly invoked the Avignon Papacy as a warning—a devastating 14th century military conquest of the Catholic Church. Pope Leo has since cancelled his planned US visit Tl:dr Even the Pope appears unsafe from Trump’s fascism

this was the stipulation for iran participating in the ceasefire. it lasted 6 fucking hours, great job

Iran's 10 points, which Trump said he'd accepted, included - literally - that the ceasefire included Lebanon. The US administration is a clown show.

"Iran becomes the first Middle Eastern regime to withstand a combined attempt at regime change from Israel and the United States. This demonstration will be noted in Riyadh and all of the other capitals in the region." Tired of winning yet?

Jim Whittaker, who in 1963 became the first American to reach the top of Mount Everest, has died. He was 97. https://to.pbs.org/4bVZVss

Hackers backing Tehran say an uncertain ceasefire between Iran and the United States and Israel won't end their retaliatory cyberattacks, a warning that American cybersecurity experts say potential targets in the U.S. and Israel should take seriously. https://to.pbs.org/3PZKxmj

What a monstrous person.

First the city council in this Missouri city approved a $6 billion data center, despite massive pushback. Then, during yesterday’s election in Festus, MO, residents overwhelmingly voted to kick out the incumbents who voted for the project. America is fed up with data centers.

A nuclear armed United States is now an existential threat to the rest of the world

BTW, John Roberts owns ALL of this. No chance a POTUS would act like this unless someone planted the notion that they can get away w/ basically anything. As insane as Trump has always been, he didn’t try this stuff when he feared the threat of consequences. Then John <poof> took ‘em away. Nice job👍
