Polluted rain fell on Russia’s Black Sea city of Tuapse as authorities struggle to extinguish a blaze at local oil facilities following a drone attack, highlighting the environmental effects from the war in Ukraine.
The president's son, who was never involved in this industry before his father became president, should not be getting contracts from the Pentagon. This is absurd corruption that Republicans in congress will say nothing about and do no oversight. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Posted this morning by the President of the United States.
Overwhelmingly, the American people do not want this in their capital. Does that matter at all to Republicans or does it only matter what their cult leader wants? This attitude is why they are going to get cooked in the midterms. bsky.app/profile/atru...
Trump reposts Marc Thiessen's tweet:
Markwayne—Oklahoma's finest—threatens physical violence against the Senate minority leader because he asked some questions about DHS that Markwayne can't answer. bsky.app/profile/atru...
So much to know about John Phelan’s ouster as Navy secretary:
- driven by Hegseth’s insecurities
- firing a Navy secretary 10 days after launching a naval blockade?
- Phelan was a poor choice for the job, especially in light of his Epstein ties
- scope of the Pentagon purge is staggering
This administration IS the definition of SCUMBAGS.
Hunter Biden says wtf
"The indictment is a grotesque attempt to recast white people as real victims of racism. In the DOJ’s telling, advocates who spent decades dismantling the Klan are its secret benefactors, 'enriching' themselves by secretly creating racism — something in such short supply it can only be generated."
Here’s what I predicted on this site 28 days ago:
“Here’s my prediction: As he took credit for Obama’s economy, vets bill, etc, Trump will negotiate an Iran deal that mirrors Obama’s JCPOA—which Trump ripped up in 2018—and proclaim it *greatest* deal ever.”
And here’s WaPo headline yesterday:
If only he had both of these…..
Looks AI to me. 🤷♀️
They paused Oversight Committee hearings the minute we started getting answers about the Epstein files.
Now it’s “roundtables”: no rules, no oaths, no subpoenas.
You do the math. Because the moment accountability shows up, they shut it down. The survivors deserve better.
tRump's GOP is sabotaging the Epstein investigation. House Oversight Chair James Comer is ditching real hearings for toothless "roundtables"—no oaths, no subpoenas, no accountability. Just another cover-up to shield powerful friends (including tRump, named 38k+ times in the files)

Dan Lamothe @DanLamothe X.com EXCLUSIVE: It could take six months to fully clear the Strait of Hormuz of mines deployed by the Iranian military, and any such operation is unlikely to be carried out until the U.S. war with Iran ends, the Pentagon has informed Congress — an assessment that means the conflict's economic impact could extend late into this year or beyond. 11:52 AM • 4/22/26 • 5.3K Views

The Republican Congress.
The most accurate indicator that something bad is about to happen.
Fragile snowflake Hegseth was jealous.
Trump only looks to hire the most qualified people for important jobs like protecting the American people from terrorist attacks.
That’s pretty much the cult line. All he’s got left are people who will drink the kool-aid if the order was posted on Truth Social.
