New in PN: The world's worst dealmaker screws up the Iran negotiations "All of Trump’s weaknesses as a negotiator are now on display: His childish understanding of power, his inability to grasp the perspective of his opponents, his belief that anything can be accomplished by threats and violence."

Now this is indoctrination I approve of...

We're bombing more boats. Five more killed, still no evidence whatsoever provided to confirm that they were smuggling drugs. www.cbsnews.com/news/us-boat...

The energy in Budapest tonight is absolutely incredible. Unlike anything I’ve seen anywhere in the world. Every bridge, metro station and street is full of celebration. Literally the entire city. Follow me if you love this

At a packed Budapest metro station, crowds of Hungarians are chanting: “Russia, go home.” It’s our turn now. #Vote

One more for the annals of "imagine if any other president did that"

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Weird war, where the winner gets skyrocketing gas prices, inflation and market crashes while the loser gets control over 20% of global oil flow.

See, it's funny because his administration is comically corrupt and constantly committing felonies and war crimes.

No matter how bad he gets and no matter what he does, Republicans in Congress will never stand up to him or speak out because some agree with him on everything and the rest are spineless cowards.

Follow this thread. Most likely, and of course, all speculation right now, this is why Melania did her 6 min statement today. Amanda Ungaro was brought here as a 17-year-old model. She flew to NYC on Epstein's private plane. 1/2

Reminder

"It was not clear why she chose to speak out now. ... "She turned on her stiletto heels and stalked out as the dazed reporters started shouting after her: 'Why now!? Why now!?'"

Good morning, beautiful people🩷 A tree in my neighborhood. #Photography #Springtime #Trees #Nature

Exactly

Americans suffer from a desperate need to believe in the inherent goodness of the American electorate--the idea that a voter in 2024--after nearly a decade of unfiltered, widely broadcast, deeply fascist rhetoric from Donald Trump--was simply "tricked" by a Facebook algorithm or a Fox News segment.

A judge ruled that members of RFK Jr’s vaccine committee were "distinctly unqualified.” So RFK Jr rewrote the rules of membership for the committee, because of course he did.

And somewhere somebody made a profit from this.

If Trump does give an order to attack civilian targets that have no military value as a means of collectively punishing the Iranian people - and make good his threat to begin a genocide - Marco Rubio should resign and the military must refuse the order. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

If this pig doesn't stop attacking Blue States all hell will break loose. 80% of all revenue in USA is created in Blue States. Ca. pays $83 billion more in taxes than it receives back, supporting the entire south. In Speaker Johnson's district 40% of all constituents on Medicaid.🌡️the🍊🤡 He's a crook.

The state of American Politics:

Trump said we “can’t take care of daycare” because “we’re fighting wars.” Hello? The $200B he wants for his war could provide every child in the country with a free school lunch for a year & have $170 billion to spare. Trump can help people here at home — he’s just choosing not to.

Trump is right, we can either pay for “daycare, Medicaid, Medicare all these things," or we can pay for more war. Every dollar we spend on this illegal war of choice, is a dollar that could have helped improve life right here at home. He's telling us what he cares about more.

A reminder that last week, Pam Bondi accidentally released a Jack Smith memo revealing Trump’s motive for stealing and illegally retaining classified documents.

I want to thank our Allies for telling Trump to go fuck himself over the Iran war. You have to punch a bully in the face.

Just to recap: Russia is currently helping Iranian forces try to kill US troops. In response, Trump is… lifting sanctions on Russia and threatening to pull out of NATO, which are the #1 and #2 items on Putin’s wishlist

Per the Financial Times, Trump threatened to halt weapons supplies for Ukraine unless European countries agreed to help secure the Strait of Hormuz. If accurate, that would amount to linking support for Ukraine to European backing for a separate U.S. pressure campaign in the Gulf.

The Constitution compels you to follow the Constitution, which includes the recognition of universal birthright citizenship, you dishonest tool.

13 minutes 🤡 @nytimes.com

Two words: tiny dick

Convicted Felon Donald Trump attending today’s birthright citizenship arguments at SCOTUS is such a transparent attempt to intimidate the justices. But it just makes him look WEAK and PATHETIC. Trump reeks of desperation.

America: shoots $1.2 million missiles at $400 drones. Also America: can’t find $7 for school lunch.

is it actually unclear? really? "It was unclear why the White House did not issue orders to block the tanker or whether it would allow future Russian oil shipments to reach the island..." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/29/w...

I mean there it is.

The Trump administration wants to pretend none of it happened. Renee Good. Alex Pretti. All of the others. Kristi Noem is officially out at DHS today. It's our job to make sure Trump & co. are held accountable for what happened. Read here: joycevance.substack.com/p/kristi-noe...

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a new mRNA vaccine that has been shown to suppress abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina, offering hope to MILLIONS of patients with age-related vision loss. The vaccine triggered strong antibody responses that REDUCED retinal damage by UP TO 85%.

HAPPENING NOW: ❌👑 Thousands of people in DC are marching to Fort McNair where Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, Pam Bondi, and other leaders of this regime are living #NoKings #NoKingsDC
