alright i'm giving up on understanding geopolitics

NEW: Eric Swalwell says he is resigning from Congress

Here a grandmother is forced to do a gig job with no job security because she can’t afford to retire? What are we celebrating here?

Cardinal Cupich: "We're dehumanizing the victims of war by turning the suffering of people & killing of children & our own soldiers into entertainment. To splice together movie cuts w/ actual bombings & targeting of people for purposes of entertainment is sickening. This is not who we are."

It's not a counterpunch, guys. The pope didn't throw a punch. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/u...

The Pope is WEAK on crime is so gd funny; I am HOWLING

i will vote for any candidate who offers up this slogan

All you fascists bound to lose.

Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

Something like this will have to happen in this country once Trumpism is defeated. In the absence of accountability, the world will rightly assume that it will happen again.

The Hungarian people wisely refused to listen to these grifting scumbags.

more seriously congrats to the hungarian people for kicking that asshole out

Iran warns of 'forceful' response to military ships after Trump vows to block Strait of Hormuz | CBC

Not to ruin your Sunday but Trump’s fake ceasefire is dead and Iran is threatening to blow up two American mine sweepers because in Trumps head, the Iranians wanted him to sweep the mines so he sent them into danger.

This is a developing story

How the fuck is the president and Secretary of State at a UFC fight in Miami while war negotiations affecting the world economy are falling apart.

And I know that MFer isn’t going to try to play golf tomorrow too.

One of many ways CPI diverges from consumer reality. Per CPI, a smartphone today costs merely 34.2% of what one cost in December 2019.

Sure, there's an economics argument for this, but nobody thinks "I paid more but it's a much better phone so it technically costs much less!" They had to pay more.

interesting watching the left’s reaction to one of their own being accused of sexual assault (immediate banishment) and comparing it to how that same situation was handled by the right (elected him president twice)

I complain about dem leadership but no, both sides are not the same

Eric Swalwell loses all 21 of his endorsements from Democratic colleagues in Congress It is a stunning reversal for Swalwell in the 24 hours after he was accused of sexual misconduct.

And that's that.

I know the running joke is that Rubio supposedly has multiple jobs but maybe he could try doing Secretary of State stuff once in a while.

Carney: "The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over."

*thunderous applause*

Oh.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has signed a decree establishing Universal Healthcare for all Mexican citizens.

The United States could’ve had this, but people chose economic collapse, cruelty and death instead. I’ll never regret voting for Hillary Clinton and Kamala Harris.

Too big for Europe: America's pickup trucks became a trade war flashpoint - EUROPE SAYS America loves its pickup trucks. The Ford F-150, the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the Ram 1500: these are not merely vehicles. They are cultural monuments on

The European Union is tightening the regulatory backdoor through which US automakers have been quietly importing around 7k large SUVs and pickup trucks/year. “The revised rules, expected to launch in 2027, are designed to close loopholes that Brussels says allow unsafe vehicles onto European roads.”

Yes, the Grink was there. I'm getting to that. He was on that island with me. And I wouldn't be alive to tell my story without him.

It's really something to be living through the worst President, the worst Supreme Court, and the worst Congress all at once

i firmly believe that kennedy wants preventable diseases to rip through american communities since, in his warped mind, those who survive without vaccines will have proven themselves “healthy.”

The capsule splashing down onto the water with the three red and white parachutes above it

Splashdown! Vehicle is stable and upright. “A perfect bulls-eye splash for Integrity and its four astronauts!” #Artemis

This reporting is extremely thorough and the allegations are horrific. Swalwell’s attorney is trying to undermine this woman’s credibility by saying she kept working for him afterward. It’s tired victim-blaming rhetoric. She was 21 when it started. I believe her and I hope she is okay.

perfect example of how NYC transplants are often way more progressive and actually appreciate the city they live in while many natives think free parking is their birthright

If they don't want to uphold their oaths of office and do their actual jobs, they can stop collecting paychecks and resign.

The media arm of the party that is running cover for a pedophilia sex trafficking ring that implicates their president thinks the *real* problem is that not enough teenagers are getting pregnant these days.
