Palm Beach International Airport is now officially renamed to Donald J. Trump International Airport. The airport will be required to purchase official Trump merchandise, directly violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution.

NEW: Anti-Christian bias task force is blasting Biden in new report for targeting "traditional Christians." But Christian leaders are, in turn, blasting the report, saying it's focused on concerns of evangelicals and obscures Trump’s own conflicts with faith groups. religionnews.com/2026/05/01/a...

If you're not already clued into this stuff, it's hard to convey what's happening here w/out getting super nerdy. But basically: most Christians aren't evangelical, including in the U.S., full stop. So to pull largely from evangelicalism when defining Christian beliefs in a govt report is…notable.

every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen

John, Mark, and Luke are all coequal for me. Matthew a step lower though. 🤷

Anyone know how to tell the algorithm that I want all the WNBA content but literally none of the NBA content? You’d think the lesbian-heavy feed would be enough but no.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

I do feel like a semicolon might’ve been helpful

This is one of the most important stories of the week that you probably missed. The trump admin is basically taking something that belongs to all of us & giving it to political hacks & corporate donors. It’s an outrage & we should push back hard.

Hell is empty and all the deviled eggs are here.

🚨 🚨 ABC News confirms that Iran used advanced, passive infrared detection to shoot down the American F-15E fighter jet. Passive infrared detection does not emit radar signals. As a result, it cannot be detected or jammed by American electronic warfare systems. That leaves our aircraft vulnerable.

Sometimes a picture really is worth 1,000 words

A starkly different example of Christianity than we get from the White House and Pentagon.

Blasphemy

🤦

The 12 year olds at the Pentagon had a cool new missile they wanted to use. It explodes a few feet above the ground & shoots out little tungsten pellets, killing everyone nearby. They used it to bomb a sports facility where girls were playing volleyball. Killed 21 people. In your name.

Ok step one is to make them look less delicious

Women with an advanced degree are paid the same as men with just a bachelor's. And at every education level, women's hourly wages are about 20% lower than men's

A Dept. of Veterans Affairs memo obtained by ProPublica set new roadblocks to care for male veterans with breast cancer. The agency cited no new science, instead relying on an executive order about “restoring biological truth” in government. Listen to former Navy fighter pilot Jack Gelman's story:

The internet owes you this moment.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, hosting his first monthly Christian worship service at the Pentagon since the Iran war began, prayed Wednesday to have "every round find its mark." https://to.pbs.org/47mCOVc

Not me applauding alone in my office. 😭 #canterbury #archbishopofcanterbury

This is such a beautiful service and an incredible moment to witness. #canterbury #archbishopofcanterbury

Good morning lovelies, enjoy a smile from this Pomeranian with a perfectly centered nose that makes it look like a one eyed alien.😉

This cat brought home a baby joey from the trash can.😲☺️💙😎

Came out of the post office, saw that a guy had cut my saddle bag off my bike and was about to take off with it. I yelled "Please wait my cat's medicine is in there!" He started to run, and this grandma-age lady goes "SHE SAID HER CAT'S MEDICINE IS IN THERE" and WALLOPED him with her grocery bag.

This is the definition of using the Lord’s name in vain.

War is not a source of amusement, and treating it as such is evil.

“Imminent.” You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Me too, Gaston. Me too.

Tillis: You decided to kill that dog because you had not invested the appropriate time in training it, and then you have the audacity to say it’s a leadership lesson. You killed a goat and said it was behaving badly. You’re a farmer — you don’t castrate a goat, they behave badly.

You know who else did medical experiments on prisoners?

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’” GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

DHS is holding a 2-month-old BABY at a detention facility in Texas. Last night, Juan Nicolás was rushed to the hospital after choking on his own vomit & being unable to breathe. This demands accountability — not a blank check for more cruelty.

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.
