Well, at least the BBC is covering this.

The Strange Death of Orbánism Franz Pokorny

Hungarian taxpayers paid American “post-liberal” Rod Dreher $105,000 last year to produce propaganda for Orban’s regime. www.jaccusepaper.co.uk/p/the-strang...

Quite literally Nazi propaganda.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

Iran fully closes Strait of Hormuz over US blockade and fires on ships Iran now says the Strait of Hormuz is fully closed until the end of the U.S. blockade on Iranian ports.

I am old enough to remember when two days ago Trump
boasted that he had gotten Iran to agree to never close the straits again. apnews.com/article/us-i...

Yes, the fact that I'm attending the White House Correspondents Dinner might SEEM like a supine gesture of complete deference to the insane dullard who demands total obedience from the press, BUT that's until you see the secret message I have on my pocket square

Federal judge unloads on ‘unserious’ RFK Jr., says anti-trans policy showed his ‘cruelty’ Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai vacated the “Kennedy Declaration,” finding it unlawfully attempted to override medical standards and restrict care for transgender youth.

Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.

“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

UPDATE: The Trump administration is deporting "nonviolent medically impaired grandparents" to Laos over a 33-year-old drug conviction, a decision Judge Tana Lin says is "inhumane" and "cruel" — but says she is powerless to stop.

NH Libertarian Party post on X: “if you believe government-funded colleges have a right to ban guns, you deserve to be [omitted] (we always strive to follow the X Terms of Service)”

NH Libertarian Party post on X says the second amendment is for people who are in favor of an income tax.

NH Libertarian Party post on X says: “Hiring hitmen to kill IRS officials and Congressmen should at least be tax deductible.”

NH Libertarian Party post on X says: “No one is suggesting murdering Democratic voters. Violence is legitimate against socialist politicians and their staff only.”

The NH Libertarian Party seems to want a lot of people to be killed. The party of “Live Free or Die” is really leaning heavily into the dying part. Good thing the NH State House is full of these people looking out for the interests of NH residents.

GOP Leaders: SYSC Abuse Reports Need Fast Action; Adult Survivor: State Can’t Be Trusted Chuck Miles, an abuse survivor and board member of Justice for YDC Victims said: “The Child Advocate's report confirms New Hampshire continues to fail to protect its most vulnerable children. I was on...

So the same Manchester MAGA state senator who voted to defund the Office of the Child Advocate is leading an “investigation” of more abuses at the YDC that was only uncovered thanks to the work of…wait for it…the Child Advocate? 🍿🍿🍿#NHPolitics indepthnh.org/2026/04/10/g...

Someone let NDT know he’s doing it wrong

A tweet quoting Senator Andy Kim criticizing being denied a briefing on the Iran war, with a video still of him speaking at a press conference alongside other officials.

It's so bad they won't even brief Congress.

It's reverse Robin Hood.

Hungary's New PM Just Showed Us What Courage Looks Like. Where's Ours? Hypothetically, if I was elected President, here are the opening salvos of restoration

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did.

The Iceberg Theory, visualized:

WARREN: I want to understand how slashing healthcare for families so Meta gets a $3b tax cut is a 'really good outcome for the American public'

IRS CEO BISIGNANO: I don't see the two as correlated

W: Those tax cuts were paid for by pushing people off their healthcare. Did you not follow that?

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

MAGA is a white supremacist project.

Those who support MAGA are either enthusiastically behind the white supremacist project or reluctantly behind the white supremacist project, but they are not opposed to the white supremacist project.

Americans should keep these facts in mind as we proceed.

I seem to recall you organizing the Democratic surrender where we lost these

@votekiper.org I donated $100 to you as a Democratic primary candidate. I had to scrape that money together by carving it out of my family’s grocery budget over two months. I did not donate $100 to the creation of your own personal party. Please refund my donation. #nhpolitics

I don't know, guys. The president started a war with no plan and crashed the world economy, is building immense monuments to himself, is making billions off the presidency, and is now attacking the Pope while presenting himself as Jesus. Maybe the political class should abandon the inside voice.
