While we slept the DOJ deleted all press releases about charges against January 6 defendants: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

New in PN: The slow-motion humiliation of RFK Jr "The FDA turmoil is a sign of the administration’s deeply unserious approach to public health. MAHA never had a solid constituency on the right, and its support has eroded further the longer the nation has stared into Kennedy’s beady, fanatic eyes."

“He failed to understand the interconnectedness of the world economy.” ⁣ ⁣ That was true in the trade war, and it’s true now.

I’d argue that this was the week we learned of the biggest Trump corruption scandal of all.

NEW: President Trump is desperate for the Iran war to end Energy prices are up, his polls are down. Few U.S. military goals have been achieved Trump doesn’t want to resume hostilities so he keeps punting his deadlines - and Tehran is calling his bluff www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

Wow, and they lied to us?? Who would have thought.

When chaos erupts in Russia, Ukraine will be even more powerful compared to Russia than it is now. They should continue liberating all of their territory, force justice on every war criminal, bring back all kidnapped children and make sure the new leadership in Russia pays war reparations.

❗️👀 Putin is losing control of Russia. Every step he takes accelerates its decline, —The Economist "A bleak view from Moscow" from a former senior Russian government official: ▪️"Putin has led Russia into a dead end, and no one knows what will happen next";

The president demands election results be thrown out so Republicans win more seats

In an internal memo obtained by ProPublica, a top EPA official criticized the work of the agency’s own scientists and ordered a review of their work. It opens the door to weakening hundreds of efforts to protect people from harmful chemicals.

"Stocks just had a great month because they previously had a terrible month." That’s not a boom; that’s a rebound from a scare.

Chris Sununu downplays rising airfare prices: "If things go on and all of that, you'll probably see a 10% increase in prices, but that's all on top of the fact that before the war, the average prices of a domestic airline tickets hadn't budged in 6 or 7 years"

Trump says anyone running for president should take a cognitive exam because you could end being stuck with a moron for years. “I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he's got a good line of crap. He gets in and all of a sudden you're stuck with a man who's a moron”

We are now congratulating Trump for failing

Q: In your letter to Congress, you said the hostilities in Iran have concluded. How can you say that given the naval blockade? TRUMP: Well, it's a very friendly blockade

"Trump’s initial post about removing US troops from Germany came just hours after he spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has long sought to reduce the number of NATO troops in Europe... "The Pentagon 'was not expecting it'... www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Hegseth: "You go from 'defense' to 'war' because you want to be proactive about peace through strength. The one institution that should win the Nobel Peace Prize every single year is the United States military."

bessent's bullshit here feels close to criminal

i had to triple check that this wasn't from a parody account

This is loser behavior.

It's really not out of the question that history will regard Trump as the U.S. president who most effectively shifted the world towards renewables www.jezebel.com/theres-actua...

I really wonder how this is gonna work out. never before have I seen members of a presidential administration lying about current financial conditions like this. especially given they were put in place to lower prices. crazy shit

The US Government used to be the strongest supporter of new therapeutics to save the lives of people battling metastatic melanoma or pancreatic cancer. Tools exist. They need support, resources are smart regulation. It’s no longer happening and patients will bear the burden.

A Virginia judge has voided yesterday's election results redrawing the state's congressional map. This is the third time that Republican-appointed Tazewell County Judge Jack Hurley has tried to stop the redistricting, and each previous time the Virginia Supreme Court overruled him.

We are currently in the 3-5 day pause on the 14 day extension of the initial 48 hour hard deadline for the ceasefire.

BREAKING NYT: The FBI began investigating a New York Times reporter last month after she wrote about Kash Patel using bureau personnel to provide his girlfriend with government security and transportation, according to a person briefed on the matter.

Trump threatens Iran with potentially "blowing up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!"

COVEY: “.. under the new map, Democrats are favored in 10 of the state’s 11 seats, leaving just one deep red district in southwest Virginia ..” @cookpolitical.com www.cookpolitical.com/analysis/hou...

CNN put together a montage of Trump saying as far back as March 9 that his war against Iran "is going to be finished pretty quickly," then him saying that same thing over and over for the past six weeks

Donald Trump is stuck in “no man’s land” on Iran—he doesn't want to commit to war, but he's also unwilling to make the concessions needed for a deal. So instead, it’s delay after delay—“two weeks, two weeks”—as the crisis grows more dangerous.

How many different ways does he want Americans to suffer & die?

Jared Kushner is incredibly corrupt. He corruptly distorted US foreign policy in Trump’s first term to get more money into his and his father-in-law’s private accounts, and he’s accelerated those efforts in term 2. Anyone who praised his Gaza real estate scheme as “peace” helped perpetuate it.

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

The US’s status as the world’s lowest-cost dollar borrower faces a challenge from foreign development banks as President Donald Trump’s erratic policymaking increases the appeal of alternative haven assets. www.ft.com/content/ad21...

Worth adding that Russia did as a matter of fact intervene for Trump in 2016 and that the evidence is widely known, abundant, and collected in various forms (🧵 1/3) www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

We are spending billions to keep our entire navy in the Strait to fecklessly fail to open a waterway that wasn’t closed until Trump’s pointless war of choice closed it. He’s just burning your tax money.

If you watch and share one thing today make at this. Why is every democrat in the country not talking like this?

WATCH: Researchers at Stanford University modeled how many people could die or be disabled in 25 years if vaccines for polio, measles, rubella or diphtheria were no longer available.

I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas ruling on cases related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup. Or ruling on cases related to government regulations and a wealth tax knowing he took gifts from billionaires. It's a disgrace.

Please help us get Congress to enforce the law they wrote less than a year ago to protect the Forest Service actionnetwork.org/letters/cong...

Now DOJ is demanding 2024 ballots from Michigan without a proper legal basis. Is it just a coincidence that it’s targeting swing states like Michigan, Georgia, and Arizona in the lead-up to the 2026 election? www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

And they remain mystified as to why it's so hard for them to find real lawyers who will work for him... Eastman: disbarred Giuliani: disbarred Chesebro: disbarred Clark: facing possible disbarment Ellis: law license suspended www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

This is the reason the stock market is completely disconnected from the real economy.

Trump on his historically dismal approval numbers: "The polls are rigged, much as the 2020 Presidential Election was rigged"

EV sales surged everywhere apart from the US, rising more than 20% globally in 2025 * EVs were half of Chinese sales and electric truck sales in China tripled * EV sales outside CN/Eu/US grew 80% (!) 10/10

We must use US taxpayer dollars to backstop the UAE Which is facing economic problems caused by the war Trump started and doesn't know how to win A war encouraged by leaders of the UAE Who have given hundreds of millions in bribes to Trump, his family, and associates
