❗️Iran has rejected the US truce extension and said it will not reopen the Strait of Hormuz until the blockade is lifted. Iranian Officials warned that continued pressure is equivalent to military action and could trigger a response, accusing Washington of using the truce to buy time. #Iran
Peter Magyar's victory in Hungary was fueled by a potent message tying the affordability crisis to the corruption of wealthy elites. With Trump presiding over unprecedented corruption and with prices skyrocketing, Democrats have the opportunity to replicate Magyar's success in November and beyond.
Warsh: ha-ha, students are vacuous snowflakes who run to authority to maintain their status
Also Warsh to any question where a factual answer might displease Trump: Sir, that is a great unknowable I could not possibly comment on.
25th Amendment time, folks
"A day later, Trump offered another confusing update, this time about the whereabouts of his No. 2. He told a reporter ... that Vance was in the air and preparing to touch down in Pakistan within hours ..Moments later, Vance’s motorcade — ..arrived at the West Wing."
RUIZ: Bloomberg reports that Trump & the WH have benched you because you're making the president look bad
RFK Jr: That's not true
RUIZ: I think the reporting is correct. You're making the president look bad. You talked publicly about snorting cocaine off a toilet bowl seat. Your words, not mine.

🗣️ @timmiller.bsky.social : “People who think Pope Leo crossed a line have no memory. Pope John Paul II opposed both Iraq Wars, I don’t recall either Bush getting fighting with him… Bullying is all Trump knows. And JD Vance just converted to Catholicism 2 mins ago, maybe listen to The Pope.”
“democrat public school lunches”
Rep. @repyassansari.bsky.social: “Naked, open, brazen corruption. The Trump administration is guided and shaped by it… Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, is shaping US foreign policy while simultaneously soliciting billions from the same foreign governments he's negotiating with.“
A proud Minnesotan through and through.
10 years after his passing, I’m joining folks around the world in honoring Prince by listening to Purple Rain today.

Ossoff: "You were talking earlier about Jared Kushner. The guy leading our diplomacy in the Middle East is bringing in billions from Middle Eastern princes and sheiks and going around the region asking for billions more while he conducts nuclear diplomacy on behalf of the country. It's obscene."
U.S.–Iran peace talks collapse as ceasefire nears expiration, JD Vance’s trip is suspended, and Trump signals imminent bombing, raising fears of that full blown war will break out yet again. Meanwhile, VA voters head to the polls on redistricting. Catch up on the top stories for April 21, 2026.
"[Republicans] have overlooked [Trump's] mental disorders in the past— dismissed them. They've overlooked his depravity. They've overlooked the fact that he is an adjudicated sexual abuser. That he's a convicted criminal ... Because it served their purposes. It no longer serves their purposes."
BALDWIN: Do you think NIH should fund less cancer research?
RFK Jr: No, they should fund more, & one of the few agencies that got a raise in the budget was NCI
B: That increase is less than $1m for an institute with a $7b budget. That's a .01% increase. It wouldn't even cover one additional grant
This is your reminder that it's been ten months since the assassination of Melissa Hortman, her husband and her dog, and there hasn't been even a hint of justice for her family, friends or colleagues.
