NEWS: Karoline Leavitt says the Jerome Powell investigation is not over: “The case is not necessarily dropped, it's just being moved over to the inspector general, who has critical tools at their disposal to continue to look into the financial mismanagement at the Fed...

This is complete BS. The British people agree with Starmer's stance regarding Trump's war.

NEWS: Bette Midler just released a new music video for her remake of "All You Fascists Bound to Lose"—featuring Barbara Hershey, other celebrities, and crowds from the No Kings protests in a joyful, powerful show of resistance. You have to see this.

Wait, I thought we brought in trillions of dollars of tariffs and were going to erase the deficit with it? He lied again? GASP!

"In the US, especially among the elites that ought to be leaders, people are hiding because of what Trump can do to them. They're complying in advance, not standing up because they’re afraid. But once there are too many of you for the govt to do bad stuff to each of you, it’s almost like immunity."

Iranian outlet Tasnim is reporting that Iran never requested in-person negotiations with the U.S., directly disputing claims made by Karoline Leavitt. According to the report, Iran has actually rejected U.S. requests for talks due to what it calls “excessive demands.”

Last week, acting AG Todd Blanche claimed the DOJ has released “everything” related to the Epstein files. But that’s not what the evidence shows. Millions of documents remain unreleased. The claim that “nothing is left” doesn’t add up.

I love this! Watch, Sing, Share, Vote!

Do you know how South Korea got rid of their dictator? EVRYONE STOPPED HOW DO ITALIANS GET THEIR GOVERNMENT TO LISTEN? EVERYONE STOPPED WORKING IN AMERICA WE ARE THE STUPIDEST BECAUSE THEY HAVE US FIGHTING EACH OTHER WE NEED TO WAKE UP ITS THE WORING CLASS AGAINST THE EPSTEIN CLASS

Anyway, here is a photo from MLK Jr's speech and he didn't have to pay anyone to show up.

I defy you not to smile 🫠

💡 "We should be as cautious with exercise in long covid as we have come to be in ME/CFS...I don’t know how often we need to continue to put our finger on that light socket.” @sunsopeningband.bsky.social GREAT article - completely debunks those trying to push exercise 🙌

One of the best comebacks you will ever see. It wasn't easy teaching him to walk again but little Stormzy has done us so proud!

Lots of "commentators" are rewarded for spreading lies and convincing you that everything is getting worse and you should be afraid. The good news is it's not: homicides at their lowest level in 50 years and killings involving a knife are at their lowest recorded level www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Montana has a plan to effectively neuter Citizens United through ballot referendum. And now, Hawaii is following suit with a new bill in its state legislature that would do the same. Here's what you should know about the plans, and how they could be replicated where you live.

🇺🇸🇻🇪 CNN: A U.S. special forces soldier was arrested for allegedly using inside information from a secret mission to capture Nicolás Maduro to place bets on a prediction market, making over $400,000 profit. He reportedly bet about $32–33K on Maduro being removed from power just before the operation.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV told the world’s press today that the Catholic Church’s moral imagination has long been too narrowed to sexual ethics — and that war, migration, and human dignity are the “much greater, more important issues” of our time.

Trump is about to hit REM on camera during an Oval Office event. It's just incredible.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

We are currently in the 3-5 day pause on the 14 day extension of the initial 48 hour hard deadline for the ceasefire.

While we are transfixed by the antics of our supposed "leaders", a catastrophe of astonishing proportions has been creeping up on us. Climate scientists now believe it is more likely than not to happen, and soon. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Pulitzer-worthy reporting here from Minnesota immigrant news @sahanjournal.bsky.social. 70+ children detained during Operation MetroSurge. 30 sent to Dilley. Two dozen held >20 days, a Flores violation. 7 still detained as of March 10. ~20 have been deported. sahanjournal.com/immigration/...

That’s pretty much the cult line. All he’s got left are people who will drink the kool-aid if the order was posted on Truth Social.

They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files. Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas. You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.

Right now, in the middle of Trump's war with Iran, Senate Republicans are keeping us here all night to vote on the most pressing issue they can think of: Giving $70 BILLION more to ICE and CBP. I'm going to fight them every step of the way.

‼️ Russia: “Tax hikes, an economic slowdown, and a massive consumer shift to austerity have plunged Russian businesses into a pessimism unseen in over two decades.” 🍿 Oh dear… (I did tell you that it would get worse 😉) ru.themoscowtimes.com/2026/04/22/d...

Kash Patel turns reality on its head: "You have to ask yourself about the explosion of crime under the Biden administration, and thankfully President Trump was put in place to tamp it down." (The crime wave that ended under Biden started during Trump's first term.)

Ossoff: "The financial entanglement, the way UAE money, Emirati money has compromised this WH is astonishing. It may be one of the most significant scandals in US history. Who are Trump's 2 chief negotiators? Kushner & Witkoff. The people doing diplomacy are at the same time on personal business."

Excellent news. Thank you, Hungary!

Back in September, I wrote about Ukraine's long-range drones. Now that they are regularly and accurately striking Russian refineries and oil infrastructure, I think it's worth reading again, for those who missed it. Gift link: www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Today, following the President's claim on Truth Social, "I am an extraordinarily brilliant person," the concept of Delusion took back control of it's own definition & fired Donald Trump as the brand's celebrity representative for being too extreme.

Trump is reportedly considering an Iran deal that includes: - releasing billions (up to 20B) to Iran - a sunset provision on enrichment (5-15 years) - potentially not securing the highly enriched uranium - nothing on Iran’s ballistic missiles It’s the JCPOA but worse

Carter Page is the next person who'll get to loot Treasury bc Trump wants to discredit investigating Russian spies.

MILITARY PURGE: Navy Secretary John Phelan has been FIRED, effective immediately. Hung Cao will take over as Acting Secretary. Prior reports raised questions about his claims of being “blown up” in combat, with his Navy record lacking a Purple Heart or Combat Action Ribbon.

The US Secretary of the Navy, John Phelan, a businessman and art collector who has never served in the military, flew at least twice on Epstein's plane with Jean-Luc Brunel, and got his job by donating millions to Trump's campaign is apparently stepping down. No word on why yet.

See full statement from AG Jones below:

Trump University has just found its Dean of Mathematics.

Yep. That’s one of the reasons Trump is so hesitant to resume the war, aside from the crippling unpopularity. Iran has had two weeks to prepare, and the assessment is that Israel and the Gulf States would likely be facing large retaliatory salvos.

Russia reduces oil production significantly due to drone attacks on ports and refineries, according to The Moscow Times. Drone strikes are crippling key terminals, causing chaos in oil markets and leading to steep production cuts, officials warn. (1/6)

It’s official - VICTORY in Virginia as voters approve new redistricting plan with a 10-1 Democratic advantage This could mean up to FOUR more seats for Dems in House this November Mike Johnson, consider yourself on notice - the American people are about to FIRE you

You ever try to code switch at work and fail? 😂

In an extremely funny coincidence of timing, Patel's SLAPP suit against Frank Figliuzzi for saying more or less what The Atlantic said gets dismissed in Texas. "Figliuzzi’s statement is rhetorical hyperbole that cannot constitute defamation." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump threatens Iran with potentially "blowing up the rest of their Country, their leaders included!"

Oh no!!! TX judge dismisses Kash Patel's defamation case against Frank Filiuzzi, on which lawsuit Kash based much of yesterday's lawsuit against the Atlantic. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING: The YES vote will WIN Virginia’s redistricting referendum, allowing Democrats to redraw maps ahead of the midterms and potentially flip the state from 6–5 to 10–1 — a four-seat swing that could decide control of Congress.

I didn't think the earlier Truth'd "statement" sounded like Trump had anything to do with it. This is much more his style. Pity the Ketchup Waiter, they deserve a raise.

🌋Sakurajima in Japan erupted again this afternoon. The video has been sped up.
