STEFANIK: President Trump didn't call for genocide, Jake. You are putting those words in his mouth TAPPER: 'Your entire civilization will die'? STEFANIK: It's the terrorist regime, Jake. He's targeting the terrorist regime TAPPER: You're changing his words!

Trump won’t have the sense to see the unique tech and expertise the Ukrainians can offer — but a lot of the rest of the world is starting to see it.

Christian Nationalism is a Cult of Convenience

This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Scott Bessent said 2 days ago there would be no more extensions. Now Donald Trump extends sanctions relief on Russia for another month, also recently lifting sanctions on Belarus, which also eased pressure on Moscow.

NEW: Officials in Russian regions that the Kremlin has historically sought to shield from the effects of the war in Ukraine are beginning to acknowledge the impacts of Ukrainian long-range drone strikes in the Russian rear. Full Report: isw.pub/UkrWar041726 Other Key Takeaways:

across the board, this is hands down the most incompetent and dangerous administration I have ever seen.

Organized looting by the criminal syndicate

That the president of the United States is personally looting the treasury to the tune of literally billions of dollars and that he is not being immediately removed from office and tried for high crimes against this country is a devastating indictment of every part of our political system!

Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell could not have sold children for sex without rich perverts buying them for sex. I feel this needs to be emphasized much more than it is.

I have the greatest respect for the men and women who have fought and died to protect my freedom. They absolutely deserve that we uphold their rights and freedoms as well.

Wait… at a “Christian” rally they are comparing Trump to a Greek mythological deity?

God intentionally gave us free will to choose to follow or not, so my government should not think removing that will is the their right.

More money, power, control, and personal info for Musk sounds like an absolutely horrible idea

putin rubberstamped indefinite imprisonment without charges for opposing russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine The secret ‘decision’ allowing enforcement bodies to abduct and hold people incommunicado was issued just two weeks after the full-scale invasion began khpg.org/en/1608815675

It's reverse Robin Hood.

We MUST have free and fair midterms without MAGA interference in numbers so undeniable there can be no doubt. Hungary getting rid off Orban sized numbers.

It makes more sense this way

Donald Trump defunded the Red Cross.

Sanders: The people have got to determine the future of what happens in our country and in the entire planet, not a handful of extraordinarily wealthy, arrogant, anti-democratic multibillionaires. That’s what they want. They have their goals. They are not our goals.

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”

You know what's really embarrassing about this conflict? Iran has a 90 percent literacy rate while 50 per cent of the US reads at the 6th grade level or below. Iran sent Phds to the ceasefire talks. The US sent realtors.

Or which thing is more likely…

Vance says that stopping funding for Ukraine is one of his proudest achievements in this administration. ​I’m watching this stunningly cruel speech from Ukraine, as Russia continues to kills us every day. Just today, they killed 8-year-old boy in Cherkasy and five people in Dnipro.

Educate the voters in your life. They’ll try to blame shift all of this.

As a former US Capitol Police officer, I’m disgusted by this. As a current local detective, I’m disgusted by this. As a future criminal attorney, I’m disgusted by this. As an American, I’m terrified by this.

Iran used Chinese spy satellite to target US bases ft.trib.al/EpSr7tr

Should be part of his next test.

The United States is in an unprecedented crisis. A convicted criminal has attained the presidency. And he has decided that a crime is not a crime if it is committed on his behalf.

Because protecting Trump and protecting themselves matters more than protecting our military men and women, the global economy, international food security, and guarding against terrorism on our own territory

Trump won’t care if the world starves, but the rest of us should.

Exactly. @juliadavisnews.bsky.social points out this was not the first time👇🏽 Trump is very obviously lying (as usual) and anyone pretending to buy it is just telling on themselves

Damage control — STAT
