CHRIS WRIGHT: What happens when the wind blows right now? We turn down natural gas plants and we save 2 cents in reduced natural gas price. We pay a 4 cent subsidy and save 2 cents

WYDEN: What you are describing is fiction

Trump admin says it was targeting “the worst of the worst” criminals residing in the US illegally but immigrants in Maine with no misdemeanors or no criminal records are picked up too. 1400 people statewide that ICE identified as part of “Operation Catch of the Day.”😡

One Year Later, We Are Still Pope Francis’s Legacy Pope Francis died one year ago on April 21, 2025. I’m republishing my Newsweek essay from the morning of his death — with a prayer that we, and Pope Leo XIV, still carry his mission forward.

Pope Francis died 1 year ago on April 21, 2025. We & Pope Leo XIV, still carry his mission forward. Francis was asked about gay priests. His response, “Who am I to judge?” reverberated across the globe. It marked a dramatic shift in tone & posture

Bite down on this American-made leather belt, soldier. We’re making sepsis and camp fever great again.

Trump: "Never allow the Traitor Democrats like Low IQ person Hakeem Jeffries, or Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, or the totally corrupt Fake News Media such as the phony and decaying Wall Street Journal, the Failing New York Times (Subscriptions way down!), or dying '60 Minutes,' to demean or criticize Operation Midnight Hammer, which totally obliterated the Nuclear Dust locations to the point where bloodthirsty Iran has been unable to get to it, or dig it out. Space Force has cameras on every inch of the 3 sites that were so brilliantly hit last June! Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DJT"

Trump post: I have always been a big fan of Tim Cook, and likewise, Steve Jobs, but if Steve was not taken from the Planet Earth so young, and ran the company instead of Tim, the company would have done well, but nowhere near as well as it has under Tim. For me it began with a phone call from Tim at the beginning of my First Term. He had a fairly large problem that only I, as President, could fix. Most people would have paid millions of dollars to a consultant, who I probably would not have known, but who would say that he knew me well. The fees would be paid but the job would not have gotten done. When I got the call I said, wow, it’s Tim Apple (Cook!) calling, how big is that? I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to “kiss my ass.” Anyway, he explained his problem, a tough one it was, I felt he was right and got it taken care of, quickly and effectively. That was the beginning of a long and very nice relationship.

Even Trump knows Steve Jobs would have hated him. Congrats on this legacy, Tim

I doubt that's true, but I hope it's true

We go way back

Okay, who made that dress? And what museum is it in? 🤣

Chris Wright insists that collapsing snow pack in Colorado is the result of "the path of the jet stream last year," not climate change

Okay, Chris, so why did the path of the jet stream shift last year?

Could it be due to fluctuations in the polar vortex caused by shrinking polar ice caps, in turn caused by climate change?

“…as Democrats, we simply can’t come to a boxing match when the person brings a knife. We’re just not going to be able to survive that. So that’s the position we’ve been forced into.”

They said it couldn't be done. They said this candidate does not stand a chance. But just in a few weeks, Xavier Becerra has proved them wrong. More Democrats need to drop out! Do it to save California. Don't fuck this up! Let's keep California Blue!

The Onion Signs New Deal to Take Over Infowars A new deal, which would allow The Onion to use the Infowars name and website address, must be approved by a Texas judge.

The Onion has to convert Infowars into a parody of itself: licensing the website from the site's court-appointed manager. Here's how it would work, and what would need to happen for it to become reality. nyti.ms/425AbUV

Ukraine launched a major attack on Russia’s Black Sea port of Tuapse, hitting oil tanks and sparking massive fires at the oil terminal. The results are glorious!

So let me get this straight: the U.S. is sending a delegation overseas led by JD Vance to negotiate with Iran… and Iran might not show up?

Genius at work.

When you learned about the Iran hostage crisis, did they teach you this part?

In November 1979, during the crisis, Black hostages and women were released first.

Ruhollah Khomeini said they were oppressed in the United States and not part of the power structure, so they weren’t seen as spies.
