PENTAGON ERASES WOUNDED U.S. TROOPS FROM IRAN WAR CASUALTY LIST: "DEFINITION OF A COVER-UP" The U.S. government altered its tally of American casualties - inexplicably scrubbing 15 wounded-in-action troops from the count. Nick Turse April 222026, 10:50 a.m. Share
The Pentagon has launched a cover-up of the casualty count in the Iran War, The Intercept reports.
15 casualties are now not included and at least one reported death Major Sorffly Davius is missing from the official tally.
The system tracking casualties may be omitting hundreds of injuries.
Russian asset propagandist Tucker Carlson bullied, attacked and threatened the American public for many years and made millions of dollars from the hate he deliberately spread on national tv, so he doesn’t get to cry about being attacked, bullied and threatened. Just STFU.
BENNET: Do you agree that 89% of children who died from flu were unvaccinated?
RFK Jr: I don't know the exact number
BENNET: That is the exact number, Secretary Kennedy
RFK Jr: *death growls*
BENNET: You took down the HHS communications promoting the flu vaccine. Do you regret that?
No one will ever trust us again. In time of crisis, we will have no one who to whom we can turn, no one who will stand by our side. Day-in and day-out this administration betrays our allies and enables our enemies. It is perverse and nauseating.
Maga Inc, the main political fundraising group supporting Donald Trump, has amassed a nearly $350mn war chest, an unprecedented haul for the president’s allies to defend the Republican Party’s control of Congress in November’s midterm elections. It all comes from Trump's tech bro friends.
Spent Saturday with President Obama and New York's Cutest — turns out my first name is Mayor and I need to be doing more squats.Â
Here’s to building a City where families can thrive and every classroom is full of this much joy.
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”
Almost everything we argue about is a substitute for the thing we should be arguing about: the immense wealth & power of an oligarchic class, which captures governments, ruins lives and wrecks the living planet.
This class redirects our rage at scapegoats. To resist its lies is to resist its power.

ICYMI — new HUNGARY đź‡đź‡ş PM Magyar says Netanyahu will be arrested if he goes to Hungary
Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.
"I’m here today to show my strong feelings. I’ve had several strokes, so I don’t walk well, I have neuropathy in my feet, and crowds frighten me. But I am here to support my people...

You have to see this.
PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.
Anyone who thinks Pete Hegseth will resign doesn't understand TrumpWorld.
They have no shame. They have no introspection. They have no respect for consequences.
As bad as the Houthi PC Group Chat is, and as bad as the DOGE stories leaking by the minute are...what's happening under the radar is so, so much worse.
Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed.
That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF.
I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.
The evolving position of the Trump Admin seems to be that they’re going to steal our Social Security and then when we get mad about it, they’ll call us frauds.
2022: "The Supreme Court would NEVER overturn Roe v. Wade!"
2025: "The administration would NEVER take away Social Security!"
NONE of this is normal
Is it at all surprising that a convicted felon would ignore a judge's order?
Trump is destroying the country from the inside out so when Putin gets here and takes over, there is no way to fight back. But decorum…
The USA is a shit-hole country.
