Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky: Bondi deserved to be fired. But we’re really worried about Todd Blanche stepping in. He is not a suitable attorney general. He gave Ghislaine Maxwell a sweetheart deal. He has not listened to survivors.

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here’s why it’s necessary for the United States to invade Vatican City and install its own pope.

Bravo to Pope Leo, for denouncing Trump’s threat to destroy Iran’s ‘whole civilization.’ We need those with moral authority to speak out against our president’s abuses of power.

Newly created Polymarket accounts bet big on US-Iran ceasefire in hours before Trump’s announcement

Congress is completely useless at this point.

So if we can automatically register people for selective service with no ID issues, why can't we do the same with voting?

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

"The cardinal sat through the lecture in silence" is an incredible detail

It’s MAGA v Pope over on the Nazi site

Somebody pay a shipowner $20 million to run the Strait on the Omani side I want to see what happens

Benjamin Netanyahu rejects Trump's ceasefire and says the war will continue against Iran at any time he chooses. "We are ready to resume the fighting at any moment." "Our finger is on the trigger."

Quid pro whoa. #eastwing #ArcelorMittal

UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Leo shelved plans to visit America. Some officials saw their reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

The Trump administration threatened to kill the pope to the Vatican's ambassador and install a antipope in the US.

I'm thinking about all the people googling "Avignon papacy" or looking it up right at Wikipedia, and I love this for all of us. It gives me hope.

Eligible men will automatically be registered into the military draft pool by December as part of an effort to streamline the previous process of self-registration and save money.

NEW: Trump accepted $37m worth of donated steel for his WH ballroom project from the Luxembourg-based company ArcelorMittal. Days later, the WH made adjustments to Trump's tariffs that could benefit ArcelorMittal.

all these universities kept axing medieval history departments as if they thought tyrants beefing with the Pope was going to stop being relevant

“Everybody hates us, what should we do?” “The only thing that will get people back on our side. An armed overthrow of the Pope.”

That was the shortest ceasefire ever.

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

There's a reason why important agreements of all kinds are written down and signed.

JD Vance: "I think this comes from a legitimate misunderstanding. I think the Iranians thought the ceasefire included Lebanon, and it just didn't. We never made that promise, we never indicated that was gonna be the case."

who has a book coming out that people can preorder so they have something to look forward to and then be pleasantly surprised when the book just shows up on their doorstep

Since there's (hopefully, presumably) no mass murder tonight, can we talk again about the insanity of the World Cup coming to the United States under these circumstances?

Ding Ding Ding

Israel agrees to the two-week ceasefire, per Axios citing a WH official who also emphasized the ceasefire is contingent on the opening of the Strait of Hormuz:

Imagine negotiating with someone who just threatened to wipe your entire civilization off the face of the earth.

Amazing that this is going to happen at the same time he announces his new health care plan

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council claims Tehran achieved a “historic victory” over the U.S. and allies, says Washington agreed in principle to a 10-point plan including sanctions relief, non-aggression, and regional military withdrawal.-Fars News Agency

If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

What if the United States had a Congress?

Iran has accepted terms of ceasefire, per NYT www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

Anyway, we have ample research on how living under a state of sustained terror and stress causes life-long health problems as well as intergenerational epigenetic effects. This feels like it's making you sick because it actually is making you sick.

"open the fuckin' strait you crazy bastards"-- "a whole civilization will die tonight" -- "j/k" we can't do this for another 3 years

Did not enjoy today’s episode of the Trump Show, season 2.

BREAKING NEWS:

Heartened to hear that the president will stick to war crimes instead of committing genocide.

He’s going to say Iran has offered America a beautiful gift and more details will be given in the next 2 weeks

Stocks soar on 2-week postponement of Armageddon.

Good talk.

what's the polling on threatening genocide as a political tactic?

Do I have this correct? The Legislative Branch of our political system is not even working while all of this happening. Really?

Smith: Either he’s completely demented and has lost touch with reality, or he’s just a power-mad lunatic determined to use as much violence as possible. And both of those things are a problem that goes way beyond what he’s doing in Iran. I really hope people recognize that.

As a historian of psychiatry, I know all about the Goldwater Rule but Jesus Christ come on already

I can’t celebrate. I can’t even feel relief. Donald Trump is the child who didn’t kill his parents and then wanted credit for saving their lives.
