I'm officially rebranding it as Schrödinger’s Strait. After all, it's both open and closed at the same time.

White House bunker to include “Jesus-grade resurrection cave” donated by Peter Thiel, says Trump.

I miss President Obama so much. I will love that man forever. Was he perfect? No. But he was a man filled with decency, with an aura that moved your soul. He never punched down on people or dehumanized groups for a laugh. He understood the solemnity of the office, and he remains such a good man.

These Senate Democrats voted to allow the proposed weapons sale to Israel to proceed: Schumer Rosen Gillibrand Cortez Masto Blumenthal Coons Fetterman I will make it my personal crusade to pour every ounce of my family’s resources into primarying them. Winter is coming…

I’m NOT joking… Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, while discussing gas prices, the Iran ceasefire, and oil shipments, referred to the Strait of Hormuz as the "Strait of Vermouth." I guess someone’s been spending too much time with Pete Hegseth.

This GOP war with the Pope might be the new dumbest thing they’ve done, and as usual, it’s completely self-inflicted.

Good News: The International Court of Justice has declared it has jurisdiction to put Israel on trial. Official legal ruling issued. Court asserts authority to proceed. Also: Italian Prime Minister Meloni announces suspension of military cooperation and defense agreements with Israel.

Masoud Pezeshkian,President of Iran “His Holiness Pope Leo XIV(@Pontifex),I condemn the insult to Your Excellency on behalf of the great nation of Iran, and declare that the desecration of Jesus, the prophet of peace and brotherhood, is not acceptable to any free person. I wish you glory by Allah.”

Donald Trump’s next post: the Pope is two weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon. It’s time for an incursion into the Vatican.

Donald Trump just posted a very lengthy attack on *checks notes* the Pope. This may be a first for an American President, and a deeply shameful one at that. He disgraces the United States and everything it stands for, day after day.

Rep. Eric Swalwell is suspending his campaign for California governor. After reading the timeline of events and the article, I have my own mea culpa to present: I’m sorry if anyone thought I was being dismissive of the allegations. I just believe strongly that the CJS must take its course.

I'm probably going to get crucified for this, but l'm genuinely trying to understand something: why does it often take survivors of assault several years—or even decades—to come forward and talk about what happened to them? I want to understand better, not judge. No one is compelled to answer.

The allegations against Representative Eric Swalwell are disturbing and must be investigated. Why are Democrats asking him to resign w/out evidence of criminality or a completed investigation? WHY DO WE ALWAYS DO THIS? Republicans are still in office after having affairs that led to actual suicide.

Kamala Harris just said she's "thinking about" running for POTUS in 2028. History isn't kind to repeat nominees who just lost. The data says she's damaged goods. "Thinking about it" is one thing. Winning? Not happening. This country is not ready for a woman. It’s fucked up, but that’s our reality.

Melania Trump having a presser to deny any involvement with Jeffrey Epstein is interesting and odd at the same time. "The lady doth protest too much, methinks…”

The ceasefire lasted a mere 12hrs. Iran is preparing a response to Israel's attacks on Lebanon. They’ve also closed the Strait of Hormuz again. Israel has killed over 250 civilians today with their indiscriminate bombings. They are pathologically incapable of letting ANYONE exist. FUCK ISRAEL

This administration is threatening the Pope. “The Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Pope Leo XIV shelved plans to visit the U.S. later this year. Many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.”

The USDA just finalized a rule that guts environmental review on our public lands.

Iran is clearly winning. Daily Revenue (120 ships/day): Revenue = 120 ships × $2,000,000 = $240M PER DAY Maximum (138 ships/day): Annual revenue = 138 × $2,000,000 × 365 = $100.74B GDP (using $375.6B base) = ($100.74B ÷ $375.6B) × 100% = 26.8% increase in GDP

I do not trust General Dan Caine at all. He’s still around, because he’s clearly MAGA aligned and a “yes man.” Why is he discussing the consumption meals, energy drinks, and nicotin? Priorities? I’m far more concerned with a war that has cost nearly $45B in taxpayer dollars.

This woman has a PhD from Oxford. Do I have any scientists following me? Although I'm pretty sure you don’t need more than basic elementary knowledge to figure this out.

Good News: Democrat Chris Taylor has defeated Republican Maria Lazar in the Wisconsin Supreme Court Election. This expands the liberal majority on the court from 4-3 to 5-2 and locking it in until 2030.

In The Lion King, the hyenas' betrayal of Scar feels almost like poetic justice—after all, he treated them as disposable tools, and in the end, they reminded him exactly what happens when you feed your ‘friends’ nothing but empty words and hunger. Do with that story what you will, MAGA.

Per the New York Times: "The Iranian 10-point proposal includes a lifting of all sanctions—placed on Iran by every American administration since the George W. Bush administration.” Perhaps Donald Trump should have read the Art of War by Sun Tzu, because deal making is not his forte.

UPDATE: TACO TUESDAY WINS AGAIN!

I can’t believe the winner of the FIFA Peace Prize would do something like this.

“He didn’t literally mean he would wipe out an entire civilization” Then he shouldn’t have fucking said it. He’s the President of the United States. He has sole launch authority over the world’s most sophisticated nuclear arsenal, and words mean things.

Iran has terminated all diplomatic and indirect communications with the United States. Will Donald Trump taco again? We shall see.

Real quote just now from Trump: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will."

I have a really bad, uneasy feeling tonight. Stay safe and be aware, my loves. I wish our collective humanity was better.

Breaking News: The United Kingdom has stated it will restrict U.S. access to RAF Fairford airbase if energy infrastructure, water plants, or bridges in Iran are bombed. Concerns over potential war crimes are causing other nations to avoid complicity.

Trump has been in power for 2% of our nation's history but is responsible for 25% of our debt. It's almost like he's bad at business.

I’m very jealous of the Artemis II astronauts. I’d LOVE to be on-board with them right now. Imagine being approximately 250,000 miles away from anything Trump related.

Christ preached forgiveness, mercy, and peace. A guy who beats his girlfriends and has four gin-and-tonics before breakfast says we should kill for Jesus in Iran. For busy church-goers, it’s hard to know who to believe.

If President Obama threatened to engage in war crimes and praised Allah on Easter Sunday, we’d never hear the end of it. Impeachment proceedings would’ve already started. (There’s nothing wrong with glorifying Allah. It’s the hypocrisy from Republicans that is at issue.)

For those that celebrate: I’m sending you a prayer that His grace surrounds you now and always. John 11:25-26 Happy Easter! I hope everyone has a safe and fun day with your friends and family.

A real quote from Donald Trump: “Tuesday will be Power Plant Day, and Bridge Day, all wrapped up in one, in Iran. There will be nothing like it!!! Open the Fuckin' Strait, you crazy bastards, or you'll be living in Hell—JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah. President DONALD J. TRUMP” 25th Amendment now…

“I don't paint to live, I live to paint.” Willem de Kooning

It's hard to comprehend why Christian Nationalists would celebrate the resurrection of a man they would deport and crucify again.

If Jesus had focused more on kitchen table issues and less on unpopular outcasts like lepers and prostitutes, he might have won more support from white working-class Judeans.

FOUR aircrafts have been destroyed in the skies of Iran today. I thought Iran's ability to retaliate had been destroyed and totally obliterated. I thought the regime had no arsenal left to speak of. We've been told that all their weaponry is gone. This administration wouldn't be lying, would it?

It was quite appalling when Pete Hegseth dismissed the Rules of Engagement and Geneva Conventions as nothing to worry about. He’d better pray that if that American pilot is captured by armed enemies, they follow the rules governing POWs.

I’M SCREAMING!! The United States asked for a 48hr ceasefire and Iran said NO. Never has America been so humiliated before. This is utterly embarrassing for a war we’ve already “won.”

Hegseth, Gabbard and Rubio prolly sweating like Tiger taking an impairment test now that the president is back in Apprentice mode

Oh my GOD… Two American pilots were ejected over South Western Iran. They are presently unaccounted for and multiple U.S. aircraft are searching for them. If the IRGC reaches them before the rescue helicopters do, it’s going to be horrific.

Hegseth has asked General Randy George to step down and take immediate retirement,per NYT. It sickens me that an alcoholic w/extremely limited experience is dictating orders to men who’ve commanded troops, earned their ranks through decades of dedication, and are now being disrespected in this way.

We wanted to understand how the rising price of gas will affect blue-collar Americans in Midwestern swing states. So we talked to three Ivy-educated podcasters with trust funds at a Le Pain Quotidien in Dupont Circle.

Um…I don’t know where to begin when it comes to Bryon Noem and the pictures that just dropped. I don’t think he should be shamed for cross-dressing, though. I want to go back to the days when I had no idea Kristi Noem existed.
