(Reuters) - European allies fear an inexperienced U.S. negotiating team is pushing for a swift, headline‑grabbing framework deal with Iran that could entrench rather than resolve deeper problems, diplomats with past experience dealing with Tehran said.

I’ve had the good fortune to meet & talk with TIM CURRY — 80 Candles 🎂 today — a good few times over the years, and I can tell you that whatever you would’ve hoped him to be in real life, he truly is: charming, ribald, very funny, witty as f**k, larger than life, & just lovely.

Happy 80th birthday to Tim Curry who has always, *always* understood the assignment.

I don’t think we talk nearly enough about the fact that corporations like Amazon, don’t pay a single cent to maintain the roads they use, the transportation system they use, the courts they use, they pay nothing for the infrastructure that is absolutely critical to their business. WE Pay for

It seems like a Prime Minister who continues to get his corruption trial delayed for years because his government is engaged in wars has a personal incentive to keep wars going as long as possible.

Iran fired at a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz early Saturday after reimposing restrictions on the waterway in response to a U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.

Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.

Tesla paid $1 billion in taxes to China & $0 in federal income taxes to the US. At least 88 highly profitable corporations paid $0 federal income tax last year while bringing in $ billions. Disney, CVS, Palantir, Taco Bell & others are making massive profits, paying executives enormous ⬇️

a beautiful love story turned into another ICE horror story, abetted by those asshole sons: Jean-Noël Barrot, "announced the return of the woman, Marie-Thérèse Ross-Mahé...saying “there were acts of violence” in her case that concerned the French government" www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/u...

The American gestapo abducted an 85 year-old widow. Was she one of the worst of the worst? No, her step-son, a retired Alabama state trooper, got ICE to put her in a detention center to deport her because he wanted all of his father's inheritance. Sounds like the son is the worst of the worst.

His first call is always to Barak Ravid at Axios.

I think a meeting will probably take place over the weekend. I think we will get a deal in the next day or two,” Trump said in a brief phone interview with Barak Ravid.

When your life becomes a case study in karma.

The arrest comes more than seven months after the 14-year-old girl’s decomposing body was found in the trunk of a Tesla registered under D4vd’s name.

Iran reopened the Strait of Hormuz to all commercial shipping traffic Friday, citing Thursday’s ceasefire with Israel in Lebanon, signaling a major breakthrough in the conflict.

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

The lies are not going to cut it with the American people. Everyone knows what they’re paying at the pump, at the grocery store, for housing, and healthcare. Our young people are struggling. The republicans can’t buck reality.
