Trump has gone after MAGA influencers, the Pope, as well as the leadership of Italy, Spain and the UK. Yet he was oddly quiet about Melania’s Epstein remarks and played dumb when Bibi sabotaged the peace talks. He knows they, like Putin, belong to a small group that could sink him forever.

NEW on MS NOW: Rep. Jamie Raskin has introduced a bill that seeks to kickstart the removal of Trump through the 25th Amendment — a longshot effort that, while unlikely to succeed, aims to put renewed focus on the president's mental fitness and recent rhetoric.

Trump loves touting "no tax on tips," but ignores that his Department of Labor proposed a rule that would make it easier for corporations to misclassify workers. Millions of gig workers are wrongly labeled "independent contractors," and cut out of benefits and protections designated for employees.

"It's her who's unacceptable" -- Trump in a new interview today attacked Italian Prime Minster Giorgia Meloni for criticizing his attacks on the Pope

BREAKING: Embattled GOP Rep. Tony Gonzales announces he will resign from Congress tomorrow, stepping down ahead of a potential expulsion vote after a House Ethics probe into an inappropriate relationship with a staffer.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October. Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year. Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

Reporter: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ? Trump: It wasn't a depiction. I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor. And had to do with red cross as a red cross worker, which we support and only the fake news could come up with that one.

This week, I will be forcing a vote on legislation to block the sale of nearly half a billion dollars worth of bombs and bulldozers to the Israeli military. The extremist Netanyahu government that has committed genocide in Gaza does not need more military support from American taxpayers.

Trump is delusional. Demented. Unhinged. He doesn’t care about faith, God, or you. In the last 24 hours, he attacked the Pope—then posted a bizarre image of himself as Jesus. If you’re a CEO, elected official, or voter who enabled this in the White House … today is the day to wake up and stop him.

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

NATO allies are refusing to join Trump’s Strait of Hormuz blockade. Britain and France have rejected the plan, with Macron proposing a multinational mission instead. Allies are pushing diplomatic, non-military solutions as Trump’s blockade begins.

Pope Leo: "To put my message on the same plane as what the president has attempted to do here I think is not understanding what the message of the gospel is."

Christopher Hale: "Pete Hegseth's Bible ends in the Old Testament. He never seems to invoke the New Testament, the message of peace, the message of Jesus"

He's not well. He's never been well. He's never been more unwell. He will become yet even more unwell. It's Congress's job to remove him, since the Cabinet won't. And it's our job to send people to Congress who will be laser-focused on doing just that. 👉 georgeconwayforcongress.com

In the year of our Lord 2026, On the second Sunday of Easter, Also known as Divine Mercy Sunday, A convicted felon accused His Holiness the Pope of being weak on crime.

The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.

Congratulations to Péter Magyar on a decisive election victory in Hungary. The Hungarian people have chosen a new path. We are ready to work with you, and our European allies, to deepen our cooperation in trade, defence, and security.

Bannon referred to Orban as "Trump before Trump." Well, Orban is gone. MAGA is next.

Victor Orbán’s removal sends a timely signal. Corrupt kleptocratic Christian nationalism was on the ballot in Hungary today — just as it will be on the ballots that Americans will cast in November. It was repudiated abroad — may it be repudiated here in November (and beyond).

Wow, J.D. really vanced the hell out of the Hungarian presidential election

God bless them.

the JD Vance effect: "Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded that he had lost Hungary’s election on Sunday, as early results showed a stunning defeat for the politician who has ruled the country for 16 years and been an ally of President Trump."

WELKER: You voted to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in criminal contempt earlier this year for failing to comply with subpoena. Why shouldn't the same standard apply to the former AG Pam Bondi? BYRON DONALDS: We'll see what happens when we get back to DC

Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."

Trump: "We're putting on a complete blockade. We're not gonna let Iran make money on selling oil to people they like and not people that they don't like. It's gonna be all or none, & that's the way it is. You saw what we did with Venezuela. It'll be something similar to that, but at a higher level."

Today, Hungarians are voting. These elections loom large the world over. Viktor Orbán is a central figure in the international far right and his loss would be blow to familiar figures like JD Vance and Donald Trump, who are his pupils. snyder.substack.com/p/the-hungar...

May today be the day when Hungarians end the corrupt, illiberal rule of Viktor Orbán, sending a sign to the far-right movement and the Trump regime their days are numbered. www.americaamerica.news/p/is-this-th...

I’m shocked since we sent our best negotiators.

You're a foreign official campaigning in a foreign election for one preferred side, JD. Think about it. Take all the time you need.

Every time Trump and Vance try to interfere in a European election it ends up hurting the candidate/party they are backing. Do they actually think they are popular with European voters? Will European candidates now start asking Trump and Vance to endorse their opponents?

This is the massive turnout for last night’s “anti regime” concert in Heroes Square, Budapest, ahead of tomorrow’s crucial Hungarian elections. Tens of thousands chanted “Russians go home”. #Orban

Notice how the most celebrated and successful space mission in *decades* was run by at least 50% “DEI hires”—not all white men? And not even all Americans. Maybe diversity *is* strength . . .

The amazing, letter-perfect performance of NASA this week is a ferocious rebuke to the right-wing fools who constantly tell us that for-profit businesses always do a job better than the government.

HOUSTON (AP) — Artemis II’s astronauts return to Earth, ending a record-breaking trip around the moon with a splashdown in the Pacific.

Gotta wonder what’s going on, Hungary is a small country yet Trump and Vance are obsessed with Orban. Hungary first foreign policy? Hungarians…. I hope the Trump endorsement is the kiss of political death it should be

Top Democrat on House Judiciary formally asks White House physician to conduct cognitive exam of Trump: “Experts have repeatedly warned that the President has been exhibiting signs consistent with dementia and cognitive decline… increasingly incoherent, volatile, profane, deranged, and threatening.”

Inflation jumped 0.9% in March, largely due to oil price spikes tied to Trump's war on Iran. This was the highest one-month gain since June 2022. Even more alarming, wage growth is slowing and we're witnessing declining economic growth across the board. Tired of "winning" yet?

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

Damn. Iran just dropped an A+ level troll on Trump in this new LEGO movie. I’m no fan of Iran at all… but this one actually nails him. 😂😂

I don’t think Pete Hegseth’s henchman yelling at the papal ambassador to the US is going to intimidate this Pope.

QUICK: But with the war, the administration thinks it was going after a security issue with Iran, a player that was potentially very close to having a nuclear weapon BUTTIGIEG: That right there is a huge fail for the White House, because they assured us that the nuclear program was 'obliterated'

The war with Iran delayed Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial. The war with Iran got people to stop talking about Trump's connections to Jeffrey Epstein. So both men had corrupt motives for colluding to start a senseless war. Because they only care about themselves, not the people they kill.

Reports that Melania Trump didn't give Donald a heads-up that she was going to do something to get everyone talking about Jeffrey Epstein again really makes it seem that her motive for the unsolicited speech was intentionally to undermine Donald.

I am not sure why Melania Trump decided to make a statement about Jeffrey Epstein seemingly out of nowhere today, but if the idea was to put the ongoing coverup in the rearview mirror it will backfire spectacularly

Both Donald Trump and his Slovene-born escort spent years calling for Obama’s birth certificate. I am calling for Melania Trump’s legal immigration papers: How did she get an “Einstein” visa for extraordinary abilities despite her blatant lie under oath about her college degrees?

Donald Trump needs to go — the 25th Amendment needs to be invoked.

If Pam Bondi chooses to continue this White House cover-up and not testify as mandated by law, we will hold her in contempt. The survivors deserve justice.
