Trump wraps up his press gaggle on Air Force One by threatening that if Iran doesn't capitulate to his demands, then "unfortunately we'll have to start dropping bombs again"

Schiff: What more will happen? You know, really, the sky’s the limit. We have to anticipate they could create some provocation at a polling place to create a pretext to call on the military or to seize ballot boxes. And we’re going to be prepared for whatever they throw our way…

It's no coincidence that on April 15th, the Trump administration terminated an $11 million federal contract with Catholic Charities of Miami, ending a 60-year partnership for sheltering unaccompanied migrant children. His pettiness know no bounds. Neither does the revulsion people have for him.

“Trump also revived talk of another conflict, once again floating Cuba as next in line for a military excursion… “We have people, Cuban-Americans, people that were brutally treated and whose families were killed and brutalized. And now, watch what happens.”

Thinking about the 62 million views, and then thinking about how marital rape was only made illegal in all 50 US states in the summer of 1993. I can remember 1993. I can remember what was on the radio at the time. I had just been in my first movie. It was not so long ago.

Trump on the nuclear dust: "We're taking it. We're taking it. Very simple. Very simple. With Iran. We're going in. With Iran. We're taking it. We will have it. I don't call it boots on the ground."

also i don’t think either alito or thomas is staying for any reason other than “fuck you, make me” when it comes to retirement

exactly three democrats voted for gorsuch (the final vote was 54-45, heitkamp, donnelly and manchin), 1 voted for kavanaugh (manchin) and none voted for barrett. bsky.app/profile/alb8...

Fox News is reporting that their sources say Alito won’t be retiring this year. CBS just reported they heard the same. If that stays true (Alito could still announce in coming months in coming months) that would raise the stakes of November’s Senate races even more.

Speaker of Iran’s parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said that seven recent claims that US President Donald Trump made regarding Iran “were false”, and warned that the Strait of Hormuz “will not remain open” if the US blockade of Iranian ports continues. - AJE

Axios: Trump shocked Netanyahu with post declaring Lebanon strikes "prohibited". Israel asked the White House for clarifications. I think it is theater.

Trump promises that US military will bring “new dawn for Cuba”.

Trump just wrapped up a disastrous speech at a TPUSA event. He started by lying about a supposed deal with Iran, claiming, “We have now secured the Strait of Hormuz. It is ours.” He also said the U.S. and Iran would be excavating nuclear sites together to collect “nuclear dust.” None of it is true.

Here’s Trump bragging about making the U.S. a country that no one wants to come to and many want to leave.

MS NOW confirms: The Trump DOJ has removed the lead prosecutor overseeing the investigation into John Brennan. Maria Medetis Long told colleagues that she had recently told her superiors that there was not ample justification to bring criminal charges against Brennan.

Well she just popped the “what does it mean to have a drunk and incompetent head of FBI while we are at war with a historic sponsor of terror” back to the top of my list of fears

Listening to Sarah Fitzpatrick right now it sure seems like Patel slamming a beer with the USA men’s hockey team while on official business might have shook loose some sources…

Kash Patel advisor Erica Knight says a “lawsuit is being filed” over The Atlantic’s article alleging that the FBI director’s drinking has been “a recurring source of concern across the government.” Patel retweeted the post.

Good point

Trump has extended a sanction waiver for Russia’s oil until mid-May. Everything to accommodate terrorist Russia This after Bessent said otherwise the other day. They all are liars ofac.treasury.gov/media/935526...

yeah it is critical that dems win the senate

Over a month of bombings, lives lost, global economy disrupted, billions in taxpayer dollars gone, alliances weakened, depleted stockpiles, for this …

The “Strait of Iran” is crazy. Oman and UAE are probably pissed right now.

Dear Media: Blindly quoting the President without fact-checking or context is just misinformation with a press pass. We don’t need stenographers; we need journalists. Do your job.

The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026

Patriots coach Mike Vrabel still has his job. Two female reporters have been fired as a result of his alleged affair with one of those reporters. This is the USA work place women have always had to navigate.

NEW: Louisiana is asking a federal court to impose nationwide restrictions on mifepristone, a medication used in nearly two-thirds of abortions in the U.S. Extremist politicians' attacks on abortion are out of touch with science, law, and public opinion.

Lutnick also called the USMCA a "bad deal." If true, whoever negotiated it for the US must be a real dope

Sen. DURBIN: Who won the popular vote in the 2020 election? Trump nominee: The popular vote isn’t mentioned in the Constitution. Durbin: It’s a basic question for an 8th grader. Who won? Nominee: That doesn’t matter.

Graceland. When it came out, in 1986, it was quite a surprise, even considered "risky" and "experimental" by some people. Simon flirted with African-influenced music but the result was extremely successful; joyous and uplifting. Still a great listen after all these years.

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

President Donald Trump is more overtly leaning into some of the spoils of his office in his second term, drawing comparisons to French Queen Marie Antoinette from political opponents.

A typical American family paid $310 more for groceries during President Trump’s first year in office compared to 2024 (President Biden’s last year!)

During Trump’s first year in office, families spent $1,625 more on average due to inflation.

Four Democrats voted with the GOP on reauthorizing a little-known law that lets the government sidestep the Constitution and spy on US citizens. If you’re represented by Gluesenkamp Perez, Golden, Gottheimer, or Suozzi, ask them why they’re siding with the Trump regime on government surveillance.

“In Douala on Friday, the big field in front of the Japoma Stadium was bursting with people singing, swaying and dancing as an announcer shouted ‘Habemus Papam!’ (We have a pope!). The Latin phrase is used to announce the election of a new pope but in this case joyfully announced Leo’s arrival …”
