The Speaker of Iran’s Parliament fact checks Donald Trump: “The Strait of Hormuz will not remain open.”

I put out a montage of him a while ago sniffling in nearly every podcast interview he did for two years, but maybe that wasn’t the only thing he had going on.

Any government that isn't right now accelerating plans to transition to 100% clean, renewable energy is either: a. Incompetent b. In the pockets of people who'd rather they didn't c. a & b

THIS IS VERY BRUTAL FROM 🇮🇷 IRAN 🇺🇸 Trump –– "Iran has agreed to stop enriching uranium and hand over it to me pretty easily." *Two hours later* 🇮🇷 Iran –– 🔥 "Don't lie, We has rejected the option of giving enriched uranium to Trump." Trump getting humiliated every hour 😭

I’m $ure there’$ a rea$onable explanation.

Israel killed an average of at least 47 girls and women per day in Gaza. A new analysis published by the United Nations shows that more than 38,000 girls and women were killed in between October 2023 and December 2025.

"A large number of Cubans are being held at the Everglades facility. 'Predominantly, the population are Cubans whose families voted for or supported Trump, and they’re pissed,' immigration activist Thomas Kennedy said."

IDK whether no one is telling Trump the truth about what Iran is agreeing to, or whether Trump is lying as usual, but I'm inclined to trust almost anyone else over whatever Trump is saying. In any case, Trump and Iran do not seem to be on the same page about what's happening.

The most despicably racist public statement of our lifetimes came from the perverted mind of RFKjr who said “every black kid” should be taken away from every black parent by government and “re-parented.” Listen to him say it & hear the sound of American Nazi madness.

I say this a lot but today’s pod is worth your time. It’s with Josh Owens who worked for Alex Jones/Infowars for 4 years in the 2010s. It’s a conversation about how the conspiracy machine works from inside, about radicalization and, crucially, about the hard, unscalable work of deradicalization

"Owens describes how Jones’s conspiracy machine works, as well as how his own moral compass was scrambled by Jones’s manipulative management. The conversation explores radicalization, the conspiratorial media ecosystem Jones helped create, and how Owens was able to pull himself out."

Q: Did Anthropic have a meeting at the White House? TRUMP: Who? Q: Anthropic. TRUMP: I have no idea. *walks away*

Ronny Jackson's birthday party is at Mar-a-Lago and Trump just announced he won't be there 😆

Actually, Atlas was condemned to carry the sky on his back. (The image of him with the planet came later.) And that was his punishment for losing a war. This guy should try the internet.

Hey remember when Republicans freaked out about Obama’s Iran Deal because it unfroze some of Iran’s assets? An expensive, bloody war later here we are. 🤔 www.axios.com/2026/04/17/i...

Total capitulation by the Trump administration. What a complete and utter humiliation!

Peace, but only during trading hours

Trump may very well pull some shenanigans, but he may not have to. His supporters may catch on to the plan and do it for him.

Christian Nationalist Pete Hegseth has come up with a way to motivate Iranians to kill more American troops. Instead of framing the war as being against the Iranian regime, which many Iranians dislike and wouldn't fight for, he talks of the war being against their Islamic faith. He's smart that way.

Farmer sure "owned the libs", shame they won't own their farms much longer! Blue States need to form community trusts to buy up foreclosed farm land so it doesn't end up all owned by the 1% and they control our food supply as well. COOP farm collectives, give people homes and a sense of purpose!

He’s lost his damn mind. Also, if he thinks Iran will “never close the Strait again” he’s delusional. He’s acting like the war is over because it’s back to status quo…ish. Still haven’t solved uranium or missiles. All we’ve done is get the Strait re-opened.

Iran is rejecting Trump’s claim that Tehran agreed to hand over its enriched uranium stockpile. A source close to Iran’s Parliament Speaker said “no form of nuclear material transfer to America has been negotiated,” directly contradicting Trump. 1/

Only in this timeline, right? Madness.

The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow. Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance. Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for the Wall Street Journal:

Franklin Graham is a lying phony who skims over $720,000/year off of just one of his "charities." When Pope Leo denounced people who use God to promote their own wicked self-interests, he was talking about people like Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth. But also Franklin Graham.

A month ago.

He…doesn't really know what a corner store is. And clearly doesn't review what his speechwriters write beforehand.

Meanwhile, Lukashenko: You [the United States] should learn democracy from us. We have a hundred times more democracy than you - real democracy, real human rights. (Belarus has one of the lowest human rights indexes in the world. Lukashenko has ruled Belarus since 1994.)

The map that is in this article is incredible. It shows that clearly something is going on in a lot of these rural counties, which is killing the people there. All the red ones are high farming, high chemical use areas. www.minnpost.com/health/2026/...
