"In January, Zach Witkoff sat down at a table in Islamabad and signed a deal with Pakistan’s finance minister. Witkoff is the young CEO of Trump’s crypto finance firm, WLF, and the arrangement he struck that day would allow WLF’s stablecoin to be used for Pakistan’s cross-border transactions."

Those US-Iran negotiations in a nutshell: Iran sent 4 PhDs to Islamabad. The US sent a real estate developer, a son-in-law, a lawyer and a general.

Fun fact: the last country to build a monumental arch was North Korea. Kim Il Sung opened the truly ugly monstrosity in Pyongyang in 1982.

Exactly.

For over 8 million Americans, Trump wants to collect: "Medical and pharmaceutical claims, diagnoses, treatments, visit length, provider information, doctor’s notes or after-visit summaries..." All "with identifying information, such as names and birth dates" kffhealthnews.org/news/article...

The network of Hungarian “Institutes” from which money flows into the pockets of the autocratic right including British Reform political figures. Why would they want to keep it quiet.? Eg…The Danube Institute The Norman Stone legacy Foundation

The other America. It’s still there. Beautiful. 👇

Joe Kernen comes close to having a coronary on air as Pete Buttigieg dogwalks him all over the Squawk Box studio about Trump's economic mismanagement and inflation

No backbone?

💥 Israel just committed another horrific massacre in South Lebanon. Dropped bombs on government offices, Nabatieh. Not military targets. Civilian infrastructure. At least 12 civilians killed & many injured. No segment of Lebanese society is spared from Israel’s atrocities @sarahabdallah.bsky.social

Because 👇🏼

Most supporters of Russia don’t know this: Ukraine controlled 23 regional capitals and cities with special status when the full-scale invasion began in 2022. How many of those has Russia actually managed to capture and hold to this day? Zero. Not a single one. 0/23!

NARRATOR: Eventually the President, unable to remember which particular action was meant to distract from what particular scandal, demanded an immediate halt to the enrichment of Melania and safe passage through the Straits of January 6th.

Government officials should not be allowed to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets — especially on issues of national security.

Starmer just compared Trump to Putin. nypost.com/2026/04/09/u...

Fascinating, Zelensky coming out publicly more and more and saying that Trump is working with/for Putin. The Ukrainians seem to have determined that telling the truth is preferable to lying to please Trump.

Melania is bringing up the Epstein files to distract from the Iran War which was started to distract from the Epstein files.

Clean, safe, cheap, renewable energy that you don't have to fight deadly wars or destroy the environment to get. Good for wildlife, too, when done properly. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Breaking: Trump orders the dismantling of the US Forest Service. All regional offices are being shut down and the research program destroyed.

We haven't forgotten that Jared Kushner apparently still hasn’t filed any financial disclosures—even though he's legally required to, now that he's peace envoy. Meanwhile, he's set to head to Ukraine this month in a bid to relaunch talks on a peace deal.

End the White House Cover-Up. Release the Epstein files, NOW.

“This is a trans-national effort, funded by Russian oil, to replace Western liberalism with a pro-Russian ideology... Orbán is not just the puppet that gives this packaged ideology a European face... he oversees the money laundering vehicles to fund the larger network” emptywheel.net/2026/04/07/p...

Nope, not surprised at all. 🧐

Converting to Catholicism and then threatening the Pope with military action because you don’t like that he uh, *checks notes* is following Catholic belief is absolutely insane behavior

Love to see this: A new poll conducted in Hungary has shown that JD Vance's visit to Budapest caused Putin puppet Viktor Orbán's party to LOSE 3% of its support. ⬇️

Donald Trump is not a political genius or a genius of any kind. He ran for president out of pure narcissism and accidentally tapped into a thick, rich vein of American stupid.

Absofuckinglutley

A single line in this piece just made my day: “The electricity system operator is understood to be preparing to run the grid without any gas for short periods as soon as this summer, in a first for the UK energy system.” Renewables *work*. And progress matters🎉 www.theguardian.com/environment/...

This take is accurate. Listen to the ABC News interview of Trump by Jonathan Karl this morning. It quickly becomes evident that Trump doesn't actually know the terms of the ceasefire deal he agreed to. He's not a negotiator. He's a buffoon.

Wise words from Spain's Prime Minister: “The momentary relief cannot make us forget the chaos, the destruction, and the lives lost. The govt of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket. What is needed now: diplomacy, international law and PEACE.”

Didn't take long. He's even ceded the ability to shock with his deranged posts because *everything* is now compared with Armageddon, genocide and random profanity. To go with the rape, sundry criminality and Epstein chapters. He doesn't know it, but the sun is setting on his powers.

Binge-watched. So funny. And acute.

Donald Trump has done more damage to the United States of America than any foreign enemy accomplished in our nation’s 250-year history.

👇

So before Trump’s war, Iran did NOT control the Strait of Hormuz. And now because of Trump’s war, Iran DOES control the Strait. And will continue to. What a fucking disaster this illegal war has been. What a fucking idiot Trump is.

Don-Tzu

It is time for all the fighting to stop. ALL of it. We live in a blue paradise. 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊

The people of Iran aren’t free. Iran can now charge tolls. The nuclear material sits EXACTLY where it did, in the same amount, since June. The regime is still in place with a younger ayatollah. Iran still was launching missiles, now with more money to rebuild. Period

Jealous

The President of the United States is a madman.

“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.

We need to invoke the 25th Amendment and remove Trump. Threatening war crimes is a blatant violation of our constitution and the Geneva Conventions.

This is not foreign policy, it’s a deranged mad man threatening to wipe out an entire country. It's past time. The 25th Amendment must be invoked.
