1/ NYT out with a huge piece on the decision to go to war. It's much as we thought: Bibi sold Trump a rosy scenario that he heard over the mild to moderate warnings that it was BS but the details are so...appalling/demoralizing. Vance clearly a source: GIFT LINK 🎁 www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

Three takeaways from @nytimes.com "inside the room" account. 1) Previous US admins mostly resisted being conned by Netanyahu. Trump was a complete sucker. 2) Vance and, to lesser degree, Marco playing "we always knew this was bad idea" card. 3) Trump is an idiot. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

“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.

Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on April 7, per AAA: • Regular: $4.14 (⬆️ $1.16 since war in Iran began on Feb. 28) • Premium: $5.02 (⬆️ $1.16 since war began) • Diesel: $5.65 (⬆️ $1.89 since war began)

He accused the EU of interfering with Hungarian politics on a trip to interfere with Hungarian politics.

JUST IN: Iranian media says all diplomatic channels and indirect talks with the U.S. have been frozen following Trump’s threats

Viktor Orbán told Putin ‘I am at your service’ in October phonecall

GM, Ford sales fall sharply in first quarter as affordability, tariff impacts drag down results

The time for subtle responses is way over.

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Having left the stadium before extra time, a group of West Ham United fans watched the FA Cup penalty shootout against Leeds United outside the stadium on FaceTime from a fellow supporter. 🎥 @dansheldon.bsky.social

🤩 WE’RE GOING TO WEMBLEY!!

Don’t mind drawing Chelsea. We can beat them. Still not expected to win - but they are fragile.

Christianity is the biggest, most profitable scam in America.

Never in doubt. Routine away win.

That was an awful pen. Awful.

I am not optimistic here. Been a Leeds fan too long, I’ve seen this movie before.

Penalties. It should never, ever have come to this.

Bijol had had a good game for us. Been everywhere.

Get on with the game!

How does the keeper get cramp?

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

Lots of tired players now.

That’s so poor from Justin. Awful delivery.

Offside is saving us here …

Perri is a lucky boy.

What’s Perri doing there? Just catch the bloody thing!

Huh. #lufc

Can’t believe we allowed that to slip. Have to refocus and go again. They are there to be beaten. Also those West Ham fans who left should have their season tickets revoked!!

Thrown this away. Unbelievable.

That’s dangerous play surely!!

Shoot me.

And now they score in extra time. Is he not offside??

11 minutes of extra time???! Where the hell did that come from?

This has been a decent performance from us. And West Ham have been poor.

Getting to a semi final would be huge. Wonder if the psychological impact of this on the relegation run in will be even bigger? West Ham crowd are on their backs now - fragile confidence.

This Reddit post is formatted like a joke but it’s actually a very dry recitation - at times, direct quotes - of America’s public war strategy over the last month. This can’t go on. This is deranged. Impeach and imprison.

Honestly I don’t think the rest of the political universe is conveying how much Trump and Hegseth are flailing. Each whipsaw change in direction is reported, sometimes critically, but it’s the accumulation of insanely reckless course changes - sometimes 180 degrees in 12 hours - that’s important.

West Ham fans leaving??? Early for that. 😂

Does DCL take this? He must - the goal will do him such a world of good.

That’s a pen!!!!

That’s Okafor out for 3 weeks … There is player there, but he can’t stay fit long enough to put a run of games together.

Need a change here. What’s Farke doing waiting for???

Good grief. We can’t be losing 3 players today to injury.

I’d be tempted to take off Nemecha for Longstaff and move Okafor to 9. Look to catch them on the break as they have to press for a goal.

This game needs Longstaff on. Need someone more physical in midfield especially with Amps on a yellow.

Stach and now Rodon with ankle knocks - this could be a costly game. We need those two fit for the run in.

Amps taking one for the team 😂

Not sure Aaronson and Tanaka works as midfield pair.

We can’t afford to lose Stach beyond this game. Hope this is just a knock that needs ice not any ligament damage.
