Yeah, $1 billion a day for the unnecessary Iran war (more in the early days when it was just launching) could buy some fairly impressive things that people actually want in the U.S.

Last Feb, Francis rebuked Vance for his take on ordo amoris, today, US Bishops issue slap-down of VP: “When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ.”

This report on the “Biden Administration’s Weaponization of the FACE Act” repeatedly cites conduct that occurred…during the first Trump administration.

Y’all are wild

In that case, I recommend: bsky.app/profile/serr...

I made a meme

Taco Bell is weak on borders

I support Pope Leo and his message of peace. Trump's war in Iran is not only illegal but it's immoral. Please join me in calling your reps and senators and demand an end to this unnecessary war.

This was the presser opening: "Formerly, press conferences worked in a way that the propaganda media asked questions that were written for them by govt... We will now give the floor to those Hungarian outlets who are still independent."

don't kid yourself, if it hadn't been an obvious blowout he definitely would have done all that

THE DALAI LAMA IS WEAK ON MONETARY POLICY.

I’m sorry but “Pope Leo is WEAK on Crime” is unintentionally one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Trump’s brain is actually just mush now

Seriously, how much longer can this go on?

This is just too on the nose. Graham has finally discovered a role for Congress in war powers: its consent is needed to *end* a war.

Good lord. If we cede control of the strait to Iran…. And agree to REPARATIONS…. This will be the biggest humiliation in American history

Others have posted this, but here's the evidence that Pakistan's Prime Minister's purported request that Trump delay was drafted for him by an English speaker.

a visual depiction of Fox News's commentary tonight

How it started (1/12/2026) - "Iranian patriots, KEEP PROTESTING — TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!! How it's going (4/7/2026) (with IRGC still running things) - Iran’s National Security Council . . .said the United States had accepted all of Iran’s 10-point peace plan. Trump to pro-democracy Iranians

This is now in my top ten. When cleaning out my mother's house I photographed her bulletin board. This was one of my favorites:

Iran won’t close the Strait Iran better open the Strait Iran has 2 days to open the Strait Iran has a week to open the Strait NATO, open the Strait I’ll bomb your critical infrastructure if Strait isn’t opened I don’t care about the Strait No ceasefire till Strait is open

Leaving aside the horrific "establishment clause" overreach here, "into thy hands I commend my spirit" is not the vibe I'm looking for from the part of the government whose sole purpose is to keep the homeland safe.

This is what happens when a Gameshow Host puts a Weekend News Anchor in charge of the Pentagon and 50 Senators go along because they don't want to get yelled at

Whatever happens here on out with Iran, President Trump has pretty much killed the prior positive associations most everybody had with the word "excursion" up until now.

Seriously, what have I done with my life that I remember most of these. 🫠

He's nothing if not a master of metaphor

Ok, kids . . . it's a wrap. No topping this.

Me, a diehard Warriors fan before today's match up with the Spurs. "Wow, I wonder if Curry will finally be able to return and we can make a run of it." Me, a few minutes into the game. "Is there a mercy rule in professional basketball? Because somebody should look into that."

Well well well, the GOP's new deal for funding DHS sounds awfully familiar, says Rep. Rosa DeLauro, the top Dem on House Appropriations Committee. "This agreement closely mirrors the bill I introduced over a month ago, before the shutdown even began."

Is this chair in the room with us right now?

Are we setting up for an instance in which, like the Babelfish and God in the Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Chief Justice Roberts will cause himself to vanish in a puff of logic?

ICYMI - Samuel L. Jackson (!!) narrated this powerful video for Saturday's No Kings rally about the strength of Minnesotans protesting ICE: "When your neighbors are being attacked and your communities are being targeted, you don't give up. You don't look away. You don't back down. You showed up."

I have to say, usually I see Dem politicians missing obvious lines of attack. This time, they picked it up and I'm embarrassed to admit I didn't see it.

No Kings is worth attending for the entertaining signs.

Still can’t get over the House GOP rejecting a 100-0 bill from the Senate to fund TSA, Coast Guard, and FEMA and… just going on vacation. Complete abdication of duty.
