KALLAS: Russia is executing one of the most outrageous breaches of the international law in the United Nations history by invading a sovereign country and turning its back on its obligations as a Permanent Member of the UN Security Council.

Heat pumps are the most efficient heating technology ever invented. They harvest and compress pre existing heat in the air, ground or water and transport it where it is needed. That energy is all around us. And it does not have to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

Italy's Meloni backs Pope Leo in clash with Trump reut.rs/4cqGAPd

In a first last month, renewables supplied more power to the U.S. than natural gas, a milestone in the shift to clean energy.

"9 Times Trump Has Ridiculously Insulted Christians" Sharing an image depicting himself as Jesus is just one of many ways the US president has denigrated the people who put him in the White House.

Our Vice President is literally Catholic. He must muster the courage to invoke the 25th Amendment.

Best Twitter riposte of the day is from Ronald Reagan's budget master.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called Donald Trump’s tirade against Pope Leo XIV “unacceptable,” exposing a growing rift with the US leader over his war on Iran.

The U.S. killed five more people in two strikes on April 11. The total number of people killed by strikes in the Pacific and Caribbean is now 168. theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

"For most politicians outside MAGA-land, even fellow autocrats like Orbán, Trump’s endorsement is the kiss of death." Luckily, Trump doesn't seem to realize yet how much he is hated around the world. If the Mad King supports an ally, this gives a boost to his opponent. prospect.org/2026/04/13/t...

🚨China has issued a direct warning to the United States in response to Trump’s threat to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. Chinese Defense Minister Admiral Dong Jun: “We have trade and energy agreements with Iran; we expect others not to interfere in our affairs. The Strait of Hormuz is open to us."

Trump just said he thought this image is supposed to be him as a "doctor."

The American president counts Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un as his friends while denouncing the Pope.

It's not a counterpunch, guys. The pope didn't throw a punch. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/u...

🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨 (I'm NOT deleting my post below 👇)

Two notes on the dismissal of Trump's lawsuit against the WSJ for publishing the Epstein birthday letter story. Although an amended complaint can be filed, Judge Gayles (Obama) makes clear the lawsuit doesn't have the juice: "The Complaint comes nowhere close to this standard. Quite the opposite."

Pope Leo: ”I have no fear of the Trump administration.” I am catholic, however religion is not important to me, but for this he has my respect. Well done, Pope Leo!!!!

Pope Leo says he does not fear Trump, citing Gospel as he pushes back in feud over Iran war apnews.com/article/trum... The Pope is putting the interests of the Church and Bible over the Bullying of Trump. If would be great if All politicians put the interests of their constituents first

Is it naive to hope that attacking the pope is finally the Joseph Welch to Joe McCarthy moment for Trump: "Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness... Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?"

That it's taken ten entire years (!) for mainstream outlets to start reporting on Trump's insanity in an honest way is a key element of the whole story of this era. (Although pictured, I do not mean this to apply to the Guardian, which has been doing years of excellent Trump coverage)

War criminal netanyahu is destroying towns in southern Lebanon without military reasoning, which is a punishable war crime.

visits the pope → pope dies leads Iran negotiations → talks collapse flies to Hungary to prop up Orbán → Orbán loses in a landslide Man’s got a streak.

Trump: "Iran’s Navy is completely obliterated. What we have not hit are small number of 'fast attack ships.' Warning: If any of these ships come anywhere close to our BLOCKADE, they will be immediately ELIMINATED, using same system of kill we use against drug dealers on boats. It is quick & brutal."

More evidence submissions for Section 4, 25th Amendment

I’m not sure it has broken through to the general public that the president is a megalomaniac crazy person. Hopefully posts like this help.

The Pope claps back very papally…

Pope Leo said he will continue to speak out against war despite sharp criticism from US President Donald Trump, telling reporters that the Christian message is being “abused” and that he does not want to enter a direct war of words with the president.

I will never forgive Orbán for helping Russia commit genocide in Ukraine

I invite JD Vance to come campaign for far-right parties in France, Germany, and the UK

Armenia, Syria, Venezuela, possibly Iran and now also Hungary. The list of countries slipping out from Russian control is getting longer.

BOOM! South Australia's power prices have plummeted as they near 100% renewables, proving to the world that relying on wind and solar with battery back-up is possible, more reliable and costs people less. THIS is how we avoid the next oil crisis. #EnergyRevolution

Deutsche Bank has no doubts who won the Gulf War. China did. •China is the winner in the war from an economic standpoint and from an energy mix standpoint, according to Jacky Tang, emerging markets chief at Deutsche Bank AG. •The country's status as the world's largest producer of clean

Hungary: You can follow the live vote-count here. Magyar needs a super majority of 133 seats in the 199-seat parliament to be able to affect any kind of change and remove Orban's control over the government - filled with his sycophants. vtr.valasztas.hu/ogy2026

Hungary, 6.5% counted: National parliament election TISZA-EPP: 47.8% (+9.1) Fidesz/KDNP-PfE: 43.7% (-9.5) MH-ESN: 6.2% (+0.1) DK-S&D: 1.1% (+0.4) MKKP→G/EFA: 0.7% (+0.1) +/- vs. 1.4% counted ➤ europeelects.eu/hungary

All the other presidents said no to Netanyahu. Only one was dumb enough to say yes.

Trump at a UFC event last night told fighter Paulo Costa he’s too good-looking to fight. “You’re a beautiful guy. You could be a model, you look so good.” This was what Trump was doing as negotiations with Iran imploded.

US Joins Iran in Blockading the Strait of Hormuz Vance achieved the unthinkable in just 12 hours of negotiations with Iran. This surely will be the highlight of his diplomatic career.

Blockading a blockade is the work of a pure stable genius like no one has ever seen before. Only Donald Trump could have thought of this. It's like, "You think you can shoot at us? Well, we'll show you—we'll shoot ourselves!!" We should all have tears in our eyes.

Screed # 1, with Trump attempting to upend the global economy with a blockade.

A sign in Seattle, Washington that reads: “Congress, remove Trump now.” With Orban losing we are starting the campaign to remove Trump in USA. Follow me to see it unfold and there is a link in my profile to support

"Just to tell you how crazy this has gotten. We are at a point where #Trump Admin is not allied w #Europe, where it sees NATO as potential foe, where #Vance says enemy of both US and Orbán is the EU. And guess which other world leader supports Orbán and interferes with Hungary's election? #Putin"

Screed # 2.

Trump says US to start blockading the Strait of Hormuz reut.rs/3NVFYcc

🚨 TRUMP: “Additionally and, at an appropriate moment, we are fully ‘LOCKED AND LOADED,’ and our Military will finish up the little that is left of Iran!”

🚨 TRUMP: “I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.” “Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!”

🚨 TRUMP: “Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz.”
