Trump would not tell my colleague @andrewfeinberg.com how the US would respond if Iran harms the pilot who is currently missing. “We hope that’s not going to happen.” www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Somewhat relatedly, conservatives and Christian conservatives in particularly have not really been able to create the type of lucrative alternative to Hollywood despite years of trying. Compare that to Contemporary Christian music, which IS a multi billion dollar industry

I was going to say, wouldn’t this require an act of Congress? And wouldn’t this just entice the most promising athletes to leave school early and go pro?

The judge who ruled that Pirro's subpoenas of the Fed were improper denied the government's motion to reconsider his ruling, paving the path for an appeal that could continue the brinksmanship with Tillis over the Warsh confirmation www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

JUST IN: Boasberg refuses bid to force release of more Epstein files before Bondi's scheduled April 14 House deposition. Doc: ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Economist/YouGov Both congressional Democrats and congressional Republicans are unpopular But Democrats in Congress are less unpopular than their Republican colleagues this week — and that's unusual yougov.com/en-us/articl...

❗Bondi’s portrait is already in the garbage — literally — at the DOJ, @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social + @carolleonnig.bsky.social report for @ms.now: www.ms.now/news/pam-bon...

President Trump is doing the equivalent of Biden's 'We Finally Beat Medicare' multiple times per day now.

A new era of American military might cloaked in religious righteousness is presenting Pope Leo with a challenge: How to confront a vision of God being articulated by the Trump administration that sounds radically different than the view of the Vatican. https://wapo.st/4dXPTIz

Trump posts about Iran "KEEP THE OIL, ANYONE?"

Trump and Hegseth halted funding for research to get blood to wounded U.S. Marines and U.S. Navy sailors: "When someone is wounded and survival depends on the availability of blood, this software would have made that survival more likely. Now it will not." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/s...

The Archbishop for Military Services put out a statement last fall expressing frustration that the Army canceled contracts that help support Catholic chaplains and Catholic service members. It's starting to be a pattern, this lack of support for Catholics in the military.

My "We don't allow bets on assassinations and murder" ad campaign has people asking a lot of questions already answered by the ad campaign

NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel. Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. www.huffpost.com/entry/news-l...

BREAKING: One of the F-15 pilots on the downed U.S. fighter jet was rescued and is alive, a U.S. official says.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was taken to a hospital after becoming ill last month at a Federalist Society dinner in Philadelphia, according to people with knowledge of the March 20 incident. https://cnn.it/4vaNP6k

Today’s #JobsReport for March shows a stagnant economy experiencing flat unemployment and slow job growth in 2026. But there is some surprising news for women. Read our full #JobsDay analysis here: nationalpartnership.org/women-back-i...

Tillis is on his way out, but he's about to become a VERY powerful man. He sits on Judiciary and can basically veto any nominee for Attorney General. This comes as he is blocking Warsh's nomination on banking. #NCPol #NCSen

Lara Blume McGee, an Epstein survivor, told me that that while she is glad Bondi is gone, Bondi is taking the fall while men like Trump aren't being held accountable. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I am once again asking for Danhausen come to the White House and meet JD and Usha Vancehausen

This month is #AutismAwarenessMonth or #AutismAcceptanceMonth. If you would like me to speak at your college, nonprofit or educational institution, I would love to get in contact. www.brightsightspeakers.com/speakers-a-z...

Really good piece by @vermontgmg.bsky.social about Chuck Norris, Rambo and Pete Hegseth. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-mythol...

Hegseth seems to have spent the whole day trying to underscore my thesis that he doesn’t know anything about what makes a military effective — he’s a frustrated mid-level officer from the glory days of the GWOT lashing out at all those he thinks failed him: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-mythol...

Hope all the Yehudim have a blessed Pesach

Thinking today on Good Friday about how my Savior Jesus Christ was wrongly convicted and praying for those in prison who are wrongfully convicted.

True story: James Madison’s final public act was to warn the 1829 Virginia convention that if they allowed white men who didn’t own property to vote, that they’d all vote to tax rich slaveholders until they were forced to free the people they enslaved. Just in case you thought any of this was new.

Corrected: Remember when Chip Roy said of Trump on January 6: "He deserves universal condemnation for what was clearly impeachable conduct?" Or when he said "He purposefully seeded the false belief that there was a path for him to stay in power?" roy.house.gov/media/press-...

Thinking of my dear friend @stevesilberman.bsky.social this #AutismAcceptanceMonth. I miss him so much and we need his voice and moral clarity more than ever now that we are seeing a backlash to including autistic people's voices. And also, I just wish I could text him.

I spoke to the only people who actually matter in the entire Pam Bondi tenure: The survivors of Jeffrey Epstein. They are simultaneously elated that Bondi is gone after she disrespected and retraumatized them. But they don't believe Todd Blanche will be better www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has taken steps to block or delay promotions for more than a dozen Black and female senior officers across all four branches of the military, according to nine U.S. officials familiar with the process.

Every generation gets the Ollie North they deserve.

I spoke to Lisa Phillips, an Epstein survivor, about when she and other survivors raised their hands and Pam Bondi didn't bother to look at them. "That was a moment when I realized, ‘oh, this woman doesn't care about us." www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

“A few small beers”

Pam Bondi’s trajectory is a cautionary tale: she went from being a mainstream Jeb! Style Republican to being the first statewide official in Florida to endorse Trump. She was seen as too extreme for the first Trump administration, was the understudy for Matt Gaetz and… is now on the way out.

I hate DC. What do you mean people are already preparing their Kristi Noem ICE/Bryon Noem Bimbo couples costumes?

I spoke with one group of people who matters the most in all this: The Epstein survivors. They are experiencing a mix of emotions. When I told Lisa Phillips Todd Blanche was taking over, she said "No, no, don't tell me that." www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Remember when John Fetterman voted to confirm Pam Bondi?

The moral of the story between both Pam Bondi and Kristi Noem's ouster is that congressional oversight matters and actually can rein in the executive branch. Congress, especially the GOP-controlled Congress, needs to actually do its damn job.

Nancy Mace on Bondi: "Bondi handled the Epstein Files in a terrible manner and seriously undermined President Trump. She has stonewalled every effort to hold the guilty accountable. The American people deserve an Attorney General who is transparent and delivers real accountability."

Garcia, the top Democrat on Oversight, says that Bondi is not off the hook after her subpoena

Lot of unclear next steps here: does Bondi still have to testify before the Oversight Committee this month? -when does Grassley and Judiciary schedule the confirmation hearing? -What are the next steps for the Epstein files?

Jess Michaels, an Epstein Survivor, says about Bondi’s ouster: “good riddance” Haley Robson, another, tells me “Thank you Karma”

The Dow is no longer 50,000 and Pam Bondi is no longer AG

One possibility for why RFK Jr. has blocked the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF) is found in this very article. “The current administration would not only like to cut back on regulation, they would definitely like to cut back on required benefits under the Affordable Care Act”.

CNN reports that Pam Bondi is out www.cnn.com/2026/04/02/p...

At an event for the EPA with RFK Jr. and Lee Zeldin about microplastics... and they are pouring water in glasses from plastic water bottles.
