Leading candidates for new AG: -- Alex Murdaugh -- That Nazi ICE prosecutor in Texas -- Aaron Schlossberg -- Kevin Lomax -- Some lady lawyer Trump finds attractive -- The corpse of A. Mitchell Palmer -- Nicki Minaj -- Inspector Javert -- Alan Dershowitz

Trump is mad at Europe for not joining the war against Iran that he started alongside Israel, in order to get the oil flowing for free again through the Strait, most of which goes to Asia. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

holy shit

La defensora del pueblo de Cataluña pide información a un colegio jesuita sobre el envío y encubrimiento de pederastas en Bolivia. Una asociación de víctimas cuantificó en una veintena los abusadores jesuitas y unas mil víctimas en el país sudamericano

"This war has been an elaborate, destructive way to teach Iran a lesson, and unfortunately for the U.S., Israel, and the world, that lesson has been: Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz." prospect.org/2026/04/02/o...

Brazilian activist Thiago Ávila, who just last week traveled for more than 90 hours by boat as part of the Nuestra América Convoy that carried humanitarian aid to Cuba from Mexico, was barred from entering Argentina by the country’s authorities.

Thanks to the Trump administration's chaotic policies, American manufacturers are already struggling with higher costs and the difficulty of managing supply chains. Now, manufacturers must face the economic shock of Trump's war of choice in Iran. https://ampr.gs/4dX1bNf

Bombing residential buildings to kill “moderate” politicians trying to broker a deal. Absolute madness. Either Trump is lying about wanting a deal, or Netanyahu wants to kill anyone who might help it happen. Or both. Again: Bibi hated the Iran Deal because it worked.

U.S. President Donald Trump has discussed firing Attorney General Pam Bondi amid his frustration with her leadership, including what he sees as a lack of aggression in targeting his enemies and over her handling of the Epstein files, the New York Times reported on Wednesday.

Es divertidísimo que alguien con el deterioro mental y físico de Trump (circulan vídeos por internet explicando que ya usaba pañales de contención cuando presentaba "The Apprentice") se atreva a aludir al estado de conservación de Bruce Springsteen en términos despectivos.

Somebody else hear Springsteen's monologue and found it impactful!

Me muero.

Many More Should Have Also Been Prosecuted….

If you watched the live NASA channel and all the NASA programming you’ve gotta give it up to some of the best science commentators in the business. NASA is absolutely masterful at this and it’s important to note this is a priority for them. Not many other govt orgs do this level of public education.

Iran is victorious, from the point of view of the mullahs' regime. The US and Israel cannot overthrow the regime or even open the Strait of Hormuz. The regime is fighting for its survival and is succeeding for the time being. /3

Here are 10 consequences of the US-Israel attack on Iran - a thread. US soft power is damaged. To launch an attack without clear aims or an exit strategy has upset allies - in Europe, Gulf & Asia - who must bear the economic, political and military consequences. /1

Trump speech is implicit recognition that Iran war is not going well & US options for escalating its way out are bad. 1/

"The war’s most immediate effects are felt by the Iranian people. (...) Outside the region, the main losers are in Europe, not least because Trump’s action has further undermined the international legal norms that have contributed to European states’ security and prosperity since the end of WW2."

Due to myriad reasons, women move through the city much differently than men. Care trips, access to public transport, perceived safety, and vibrant public spaces all impact where and how women travel. We can take a more proactive approach to creating gender equal mobility, where everyone benefits!

"Personne ne l’a raconté, mais son manuscrit a dû être expurgé, après relecture attentive de ses avocats. Ses attaques contre les magistrats étaient trop franches, ses accusations trop violentes, avant un procès en appel décisif." @camillevigognelc.bsky.social avec @vlazard.bsky.social

Es pasmoso que permitamos que la estabilidad del mundo dependa del capricho de este cretino racista.

I can specify: Trump is a racist, a sexual predator, an insurrectionist, a convicted felon and a corrupt crime boss. He’s bad to the core and his limited intellect is rotting before our eyes The US has benefited from Somali immigrants. It’s being destroyed by this sad evil excuse for a human being.

Move over Sherlock

Hay medios "oficiales" que han proporcionado justificaciones para la guerra contra Irán que ya ni quienes la iniciaron se molestan en mantener. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

"The answer for Karp, the high priest of Palantirianism, is obvious: What ought to be built is what makes people safer. What makes people safer is empowering the military, police, and intelligence services. That is his vision of the common good." www.businessinsider.com/palantir-gui...

"Democracies (...) do not collapse in spectacle, with tanks in the street or constitutions abruptly discarded. They erode through the gradual weakening of institutions—courts, legislatures, and legal protections—designed to constrain political power." www.lincolnsquare.media/p/why-the-us...

Trump hunde todavía más los mercados y consigue que aumente aún más el precio del petróleo. El dúo Trump/Netanyahu está consiguiendo llevar la economia mundial a la catástrofe. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/b...

Si Artemis hubiese despegado montada en uno de los Starships de Musk, ahora estaríamos recogiendo pedazos de los cuatro astronautas por todo el Golfo de México.

Y'all are right to stay off the Nazi bar, but MY "for you" feed is utterly remarkable right now--the only thing abt Artemis is from well-connected right wingers who got to watch firsthand. Elon is a spiteful bitch.

The US president blithely rehearsing what Putin thinks of NATO, and Putin being sufficiently relaxed with/contemptuous of the US president to tell him, is pretty strong evidence that NATO is not currently functioning as a defensive alliance in any meaningful way.

Trump is saying this now because he's angry that other NATO members aren't doing what he wants. But there are also medium- and longer-term questions about NATO's viability that everyone needs to face up to. 🧵

Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

Hundreds of people outside the Supreme Court for a rally in support of birthright citizenship, as Trump sits inside for oral arguments over his exec order trying to strip citizenship from some citizens. The crowd is currently chanting: "Defend the 14th Amendment! It is ours!"

The Economist spoke to diplomats, advisers, scholars, experts, and current and former officials in China. Almost all of them see the war in Iran as a grave American error. Register for free to read why: econ.st/416vZDK

So what this describes is ethnic cleansing www.nytimes.com/2026/04/01/w...

One of the most bizarre aspects of the city occupations last year and this winter was the way in which the administration brought random social media celebrities inside its operations to produce propaganda. Through lawsuits and reporting, we're learning more about how that all worked.

"In January, as Trump threatened to invade Greenland, Europe finally had to face that Trump was not their ally. In the last month, as Trump has waged even stupider adventures in Iran, any alliance with Trump is becoming increasingly costly." emptywheel.net/2026/04/01/i...

“I’m working now for rideshare, but I don’t know what that’s going to look like next week. Because if gas is $4 a gallon, I’m done,” she told CNN. Good to remember the stock market is a playground for the rich and does not reflect the economic realities on the ground.

«"CEO said a thing!" journalism involves parroting the claims of a business leader or executive with absolutely no context, correction, or challenge whatsoever, no matter how elaborate the delusion.» karlbode.com/ceo-said-a-t...

I do not see how Hormuz gets reopened with Trump saying stuff like this. He's explicitly saying any ceasefire agreement is meaningless! *TRUMP SAYS US WILL BE OUT OF IRAN PRETTY QUICKLY: REUTERS *US CAN COME BACK TO IRAN FOR 'SPOT HITS' ONCE WAR OVER: REUTERS

🧵 A masterclass in creating a dysfunctional command climate. Also, just existing in the military is dangerous business. And it's why we take safety so seriously. And when the SecDef reaches down and cancels a subordinate's investigation out of hand, brother, bad things are happening.

So Starmer has chosen the EU over the US after a year of not choosing. Big question remains about how far the EU is up for his new partnership whatever that means. None of the agreements on trade promised last year have landed www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/reev...
