AI Jesus was the inevitable outcome of white evangelical protestantism. A God who will never tell you what you don't want to hear.

Calvin Duncan, a man imprisoned for 30 years before he was exonerated, won an election in New Orleans promising to fix a judicial system that failed him Now, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and the GOP-controlled Legislature are racing to eliminate his job before he can be sworn in

ROME (AP) — Pope blasts 'delusion of omnipotence' fueling the US-Israeli war in Iran in his strongest condemnation yet

"If I have to create stories so that the American media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people, then that's what I'm going to do." - J.D. Vance, admitted liar, about his lie that Haitian migrants ate pets in Springfield, Ohio We should not take him at his word about Iran.

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears. "She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.” “'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..." azmirror.com/2026/04/10/i...

The energy 2026 needs tbh.

Tens of thousands chant “Russians, go home!” at tonight’s anti-Orbán concert in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square ahead of Sunday’s Hungarian election.

Years and years of "what is a woman" discourse only to settle on a definition that includes 15-year-olds.

Joe Kernen comes close to having a coronary on air as Pete Buttigieg dogwalks him all over the Squawk Box studio about Trump's economic mismanagement and inflation

Wow, great news: the CDC has a study proving COVID vaccines slashed hospitalizations by 55%. Bad news: RFK Jr.’s team killed it before publication because facts were inconvenient. They are literally hiding data that could save your life. #USDemocracy #Pinks newrepublic.com/post/208886/...

Hard to think of a better campaign ad than: "Candidate X was prepared to let Trump start a nuclear war."

Trump showed little interest in opposing China on Taiwan, and that was before getting pantsed by Iran on the global stage. He's too much of a coward to risk losing a regional conflict with another superpower, especially with his grip on power this tenuous. www.wsj.com/world/china/...

And read JVL's Triad today for more:

Trump is Putin's greatest investment.

BREAKING: House Republicans blocked a resolution to end Trump's war on Iran. The Republican presiding gaveled out the session without even calling the measure to a vote. Under our constitution, Congress has the sole power to declare war. Refusing to even hold a vote on it is shameful & cowardly.

Reminder: Corporate consolidation, like what we've seen over the years in the airline industry, leads to less competition. It gives the biggest remaining corporations the power to rip you off and protect profits because you have fewer options from whom to buy from.

This seems to have slipped through the Bari Weiss firewall.

1) they're cooked and they know it 2) it appears that a big reason Planned Parenthood won't get targeted like it did last year is because Democrats refused to fund DHS, effectively forcing Republicans to focus their second reconciliation bill on funding the secret police

Two reminders: First, Robert E. Lee was never a general in an army recognized by the United States. You can annoy all the right people by referring to him as Col. Robert E. Lee, his actual rank. Second, the primary flag of the Confederacy is the white one of surrender. To wit:

Trump's threats of war crimes, even genocide, are a moral atrocity in their own right. But also, importantly, they achieved less than nothing. Iran came to the table because Trump agreed to their negotiating framework. As @gregsargent.bsky.social argues, people should take on this lie directly.

I just watched A-Train's final words to Homelander in "The Boys," and damn if they're not apropos here. "What was I so afraid of? You are ... fucking nothing. Really, you're just an empty fucking suit. Take away these powers and what are you, huh? A pathetic, weak, sniveling fucking loser."

This seems bad.

“We live in a society that accords its citizens enormous benefits. In return, states can, in a measured way, require certain exactions & accommodations to the broader social interest... WV's compulsory vaccination law does exactly that... a legitimate exercise of the state’s power"🛟😷🧭 health policy

Did…the Trump regime lowkey threaten to kill the pope?

We could do this with voter registration, but too many people are committed to voter disenfranchisement.

Feels like a trial run.

Would love to know how many of those billionaires paid into Trump's inauguration fund

"Deep state goop" sounds like what I find in my newborn's diaper after his naps.

JD VANCE: With no disrespect to the cardinal, I don't know who Cardinal Christophe Pierre is REPORTER: He's the ambassador to the Holy Sea and US VANCE: Okay, I've met him before. Sorry. I just didn't remember the name. I've never seen this reporting. I'd like to talk to him.

It would be very funny for Catholic DOD employees to sue Hegseth for religious discrimination. The fact that these guys are dependent on a Supreme Court with 6 Catholic justices seems to have escaped their attention. www.huffpost.com/entry/news-l...

At any point did anyone think it might be a good idea to get mutually agreed upon ceasefire terms in writing? (Oh right, direct diplomatic channels were closed because Trump was toying with the idea of genocide.)

It is truly a mystery why more women than ever choose to stay single

Congress should force every single federal employee who was present at this meeting to testify about it.

1) The ceasefire didn't hold. 2) I don't expect the price of gas to normalize for the rest of Trump's term.

Blaming NATO for his failures in Iran merely solidifies Trump's "abusive ex" status. He already admitted he walked away from NATO when it denied him Greenland, which explains why he kept NATO leaders in the dark about war with Iran. And still he tried to dupe them into bailing him out!

Is the open Strait of Hormuz in the room with us right now?

Democrats will force a vote next week on an Iran war powers resolution, says Chuck Schumer. Trump is a "military moron" who has overseen "one of the worst military and foreign policy actions the United States has ever taken.” www.huffpost.com/entry/latest...

He had a good run.

Sounds like an oral agreement no one is agreeing to but Trump lol

THIS SUMS IT UP AS WELL AS ANYONE CAN:

Hegseth's defeat speech is virtually indistinguishable from his victory speech.

Completely impotent

Day 1 of Trump’s ‘Golden Age of the Middle East’.

Completely plausible.

IRAN'S IRGC CLAIMS TO HAVE ATTACKED ENERGY FACILITIES AND OIL LINES CONNECTED TO THE U.S. AND ISRAEL LAST NIGHT, ACCORDING TO STATE MEDIA.

Iran continues to mock Trump: We are writing to you from the Stone Age and we control the Strait of Hormuz.

These losers have made losing an art form.
