Péter Magyar, who unseated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Sunday in a landslide, shared a bombshell with reporters that the outgoing leader had diverted taxpayer funds to bankroll the American Conservative Political Action Conference. trib.al/ct7GGV3

This is a meaty, well-reported story that should be read twice — once to admire the influencers (a teacher and a lawyer) who fought for these women, and once to behold all the examples of moral, professional and political failure by lawmakers and media. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

"I receive countless letters from children in areas of conflict. In reading them, one perceives, through the lens of innocence, all the horror and inhumanity of actions that some adults boast of with pride. Let us listen to the voices of children!"

Officials at “Alligator Alcatraz” are defying a court order and the Constitution. We’re fighting back.

Have you noticed how all those threats from Ukraine towards Hungary suddenly stopped?

I'm fairly gobsmacked by the number of people who profess surprise that Orbán was funding CPAC. Did you know of his ties to Heritage and Project 2025? One of the most telling, tho, was he funded Rufo and the racist Trump tried to install at State, Jeremy Carl. www.splcenter.org/resources/ha...

The same week the NYTimes was devoting its significant resources to producing this ridiculous piece about Lauren Sanchez Bezos's call for rich people to not worry and be happy, Ryan Hass, an independent journalist in Oregon, was investigating this horrifying story about a death in an Amazon plant.

Russian terrorists struck the Pechenihy dam with six guided aerial bombs. It’s a critically important reservoir for Kharkiv and the entire region. The reservoir is vital for Kharkiv’s water supply and regional security.

NEW—I got an exclusive excerpt from a USAID whistleblower's new book that made me gasp multiple times. It details Trump's dismantling of the humanitarian aid agency & his team/DOGE's shocking ignorance to public health. 'Into the Wood Chipper' by Nicholas Enrich is out tomorrow. Read excerpt here:

Jesus wept

This is why we need public scholarship. As soon as the @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy newscaster asked about Trump saying the image was him as a doctor, @candidamoss.bsky.social cites the 2000 years of historical iconography that indicated to everyone that the AI image was meant to cast Trump as Jesus.

Saw my second butterfly of the year today with this lovely Mourning Cloak. This is another species that overwinters in leaf litter as an adult. I sometimes see these & the Commas on fresh sapsucker holes nectaring from the sap that wells out. #insects #butterflies

Goodnight. 🖼️ Nathan Theodore. ‘Then do the clouds like silver flags Stream out above the tattered crags, And black and silver all the coast Marshalls its hunched and rocky host… The darkened land, the brightening wave — And moonlight slants through Merlin's cave.’ ~ Victoria Sackville West

Your post about the World's Longest Press Release appeared like this in my feed.

This transition on PBS speaks volumes about the Trump presidency. First segment - Trump wants to build an arch in honor of himself. Second segment - all young men are automatically enrolled in the military draft.

Trump posted some AI slop of him as Jesus healing what looks like Jefferey Epstein. I figure I share this drawing I made back on April 1st 2019.

I recently learned that (PA-R) Senator Dave McCormick's wife, Dina Powell McCormick is now president of Meta. I also recently learned about the PA Chamber of Commerce’s partnership with Meta “leveraging AI for small business growth & efficiency"

Remember how Sean Young dressed up as Catwoman and everyone collectively decided she was nuts? This month's Women They Warned You About looks at that moment, our inability to deal with feminine anger in Hollywood, and how shitty David Letterman was. thefilmmaven.com/sean-young-b...

Access to child care should never be political. We know it, and the courts do, too. Protecting this vital funding ensures children can continue to be cared for, providers stay in business, and working families are supported while our case continues.

Trump says the photo he posted last night was him as a "Red Cross" doctor.... not himself as Jesus He blames the "fake news" Trump says he "makes people better"
