So far, Vance’s foreign policy record is yelling at Zelensky for not thanking Trump enough, campaigning for AfD in Germany and Orban in Hungary, getting rejected by the Pope on his invite to the US, and failing in the Iran negotiations.

Trump: "Effective immediately, the US Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz...Additionally & at an appropriate moment, we are fully 'LOCKED AND LOADED,' & our Military will finish up little that is left of Iran!"

Marathon talks? Compared to what? It took years for Obama to deliver a detailed Iran deal. The Trump admin are packing it in after 20 hours. (H/T @bgrueskin.bsky.social)

BREAKING: the judges who dismissed high-profile cases in immigration court against two international students who have advocated for Palestinian causes, Rümeysa Öztürk and Mohsen Mahdawi, were fired yesterday, alongside four other judges. /w @haleaziz.bsky.social and @nicknehamas.bsky.social

It rocks how few people and voters are buying his bullshit nowadays

When no one wants to join your HE MAN CLUB even when you have a lecture ready about how cool it is

Apparently DHS is handing out these awards to some of the people who participated in Operation Metro Surge here in Minnesota. Absolute lunatic behavior.

A bit of humor for you to brighten your day.

$3.2 million for eight years in one of the hardest and most important jobs in the world. And Trump and his family have reportedly made more than *one thousand times* that amount off the presidency in just *one year* www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

the leader of SECDEF Pete Hegseth's church held a conference announcing their vision (read: plan) of an america that bans non-"christian" religions, allows slavery, banning 'public' expression of LGBT identity, arguing for a "sexual gestapo" (their words), broadly banning women's vote, etc...

I quite happily live in a neighborhood where most people do not share my religion, where multiple languages are represented, and where people have come from a lot of different countries. Bigoted assholes always assume everyone else actually shares their bigotries.

What Tom Holman looks like vs what he thinks he looks like

If you recognize which unnamed woman is talking because you're asked for comment and the comment makes it clear which of the woman's rape stories match your memory of events, and you text that specific woman and say "stop telling people I raped you," that is.... sure an admission of something.

👀 Oh. My. Gawd. Now we know why Melania gave that Epstein presser on Thursday. An interview with Amanda Ungaro is about to be released by El Pais on Sunday morning (and it’s after midnight right now in Spain). And on Monday, she will be on CNN.

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

The Secretary of State attending a UFC fight while wartime diplomatic negotiations fail would generate an explosive, front-page, above-the-fold headline for any previous administration

The Dream Team failed. Total shock. We sent two of our most mediocre real estate developers and a fraud. Who could’ve guessed this outcome?

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart. And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

Please, media, do not let him do parrot-like repetition until people believe it. He lost. Which is why they are struggling to make a deal.

I love that the people who rail against participation trophies are led by a guy who's entire existence is getting the global equivalent of participation trophies

When you’ve definitely, completely, 1000% lost:

In the running for greatest giveaway of all time

that's it? it's over? what the fuck. get back in that room and bang your heads together until we get something other than bombs in the strait and airmen being rescued by the PJs.

Having foreign policy experts who specialize in Iranian Politics is DEI

im sorry but this is so fucking funny god help us

Why would Iran relinquish control of a strait the US can’t take from it or a nuclear program the US can’t stop? Iran has INCREASED its demands from before the war, because we’ve proven we are incapable of defeating the country in the ways we care about. Maybe the greatest US humiliation in history.

Here he is tonight. Working hard to end his War in Iran and make life more affordable for Americans like he promised.

Kanninen: "I wish Rs would do the same thing w/ Gonzales. Just 5 days ago there was a story about texts he sent another staffer after previous one killed herself. There's not been calls for him to resign. Anybody, R or D, w/ this kind of serious charge, should focus on their families, not politics"

Reagan’s OMB Director:

while even the Fox News keeps struggling to spin for the imploding bubble-boy presidency ... "going down to Miami for a UFC fight."

Obama's former minister once said "God Damn America" and we never heard the end of it.

Yes, it’s true that oil tankers that otherwise would be full, from the Persian Gulf, are empty. And if they fill up with oil from the U.S. instead, what does he think happens to oil prices in the U.S.? This guy really can’t put two and two together.

Here we fixed this for you, @wsj.com We see you trying to help JD pretend he doesn’t have to wear this war when he runs for president. Nope.

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

😵‍💫

What was Trump focused on today? Building a giant triumphal arch in DC then jetting out of town for a high dollar fundraiser and golf.

Trump quote for the ages: “you don’t need a backup plan.”

Melania: I never cut child in half with sword. I never do this. The entire USA: what? Melania: not me.

Just a reminder—as we’re all reacting to the First Lady’s statement on the Epstein files yesterday. This guy is still serving in the administration.

Even in Florida they hate it

“'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...

In his tirade against MAGA war critics, Trump blasted Alex Jones for calling Sandy Hook a hoax. This seemed odd. So I went back and checked. At the time Trump hailed Jones as "amazing" and rebuffed demands that he denounce lies about the shooting. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2089...

YES, A FAILED IMPEACHMENT MEANS REPUBLICANS APPROVE OF TRUMP'S CONDUCT. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON TO DO IT

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

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

“We believe representing the voters will get in the way of our election by the voters to represent them.” DO YOU HEAR HOW YOU SOUND GUYS

How much money has the DoD lost this year on missiles
