NARRATOR: WE DID NOT IN FACT GET IT TOGETHER IN TIME

Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again. Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺

Epstein survivors have released a statement responding to Melania Trump's earlier comments: "First Lady Melania Trump is now shifting the burden onto survivors under politicized conditions that protect those with power: the DOJ, law enforcement, prosecutors, and the Trump administration"

I have seen one good example of this plate

As the comments point out, the only thing off is "US soldiers refuse orders to kill ISIS families." Nope, the military complied with orders to blow up civilian boats and a girls' school, and stood ready to carry out orders of "a whole civilization will die tonight."

The Pakistani Prime Minister who was the intermediary for the ceasefire tweeted yesterday that it included Lebanon

RIP The Open Strait of Hormuz, 8 APR 2026 - 8 APR 2026

This is accurate. President Obama had gotten Iran under control without violence, but Trump tore up that deal because a Black man brokered it. The Strait was open before Trump’s War with Iran. The U.S. has sacrificed resources and lives for no reason whatsoever. This is what White America wanted.

Speaking of War Crimes Deadline Day, Trump tweeted this out 5 minutes ago.

Trump just openly stating his intention to commit genocide at this point: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."

Amazon reportedly failed to create any new jobs at its HQ2 in Virginia last year, despite millions of state tax incentives. The company has cut 30,000 jobs since last October — while saving $4 billion in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Trickle-down economics is a hoax.

damn aaron swartz tried to warn everybody about sam altman

I really want to start hearing more ideas about how people will be prosecuted and their assets seized.

I'm a bit of a broken record on this, but usurping the power of the purse isn't just one constitutional violation among all the many others. It is, uniquely and singularly, the death of constitutional government altogether. Game over, end of story, you now live in an autocracy.

Speaker of the Iranian Parliament, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf. I'm not a huge decorum guy but I do find myself nostalgic for the version of confrontations between states that did not feature emojis

New in PN: Trump's war crime campaign, explained by an expert "Right now, we are living through a moment of impunity, and leaders in the United States are acting unlawfully. The question is whether and when we snap out of that." — @bcfinucane.bsky.social

“My patient is refusing a drug studied in 170,000 people because of side effects that a 124,000-person analysis just confirmed do not exist — while injecting a compound studied in 14 humans, from unregulated sources, based on the recommendation of someone who profits from selling it.”

There is a predictable way that this ends and Hegseth owns it
