CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS: "We need more religion in politics."

[Pope uses religion to criticize Trump.]

CHRISTIAN NATIONALISTS: "Keep your religion out of our politics!!!"

Imagine if we didn't have a bloodthirsty megalomaniac president.

If Hungary can get rid of its autocrat, so can America

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.

He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.

The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.

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.

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

Hungary has chosen Europe.

Europe has always chosen Hungary.

A country reclaims its European path.

The Union grows stronger.

Humanity did that. Science did that. Publicly-funded research did that. Excellent universities did that. Diversity did that. International cooperation did that.

Artemis II is a perfect example of what we can do at our best.

Welcome home, Integrity crew!

the Artemis mission is what I believe in and want to see more of in the world. smart, kind experts working together for knowledge and discovery.

Joe Kernen comes close to having a coronary on air as Pete Buttigieg dogwalks him all over the Squawk Box studio about Trump's economic mismanagement and inflation

Why a surprise inspection? Because the last time they inspected this facility they had to give 7 days notice; and ICE moved almost everyone out of the facility before they got there, then filled it up again when they left. azmirror.com/2026/04/09/i...

Buttigieg: "For the leader of this country to make a nakedly genocidal threat against another civilization as if the US was a death star that was going around blowing up civilizations, of course that is a new low ... the whole country is being judged just for tolerating that kind of thing at the WH"

Sincerely… NASA couldn’t have chosen a better team of people for this mission. They have been a bright light in the shadowy time here. It’s been a joy to watch.

DONALD TRUMP: "Well, the war didn't go so great, but did you notice? Nobody is talking about Epstein anymore."

MELANIA TRUMP: "On it!"

12.7 million battery electric vehicles were sold globally in 2025.

In 2010, the number was barely 10,000.

In China, 1 in 2 new cars sold last year was electric.

The transition is happening faster than almost anyone predicted.

It says a lot about Republicans that they’ll make draft registration automatic and mandatory, but not voter registration.

Pentagon Threatened the Pope After He Criticized Trump It was so bad that Pope Leo changed his plans to travel to the U.S.

Vatican was so alarmed by Pentagon’s warning that Pope Leo cancelled plans to visit the U.S. this year, reported Hale, who noted that “many in the Vatican saw the Pentagon’s reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.” #Pinks

1984 calendar meme with the lady saying "the empire is at war with Persia and the Pope" and the calendar says January 1054

The starkest of contrasts in today's timeline.

Now Ron Wyden:

The Vice President is overseas campaigning for a dictator, because I guess there’s nothing going on here that warrants his attention.

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

25th amendment. Impeachment. I will support any avenue to remove Donald Trump from office. We cannot leave this man in charge of America’s nuclear weapons as he threatens to end an entire civilization. And Congress must not fund this reckless administration.

In a shocking twist, impunity has emboldened a narcissist to descend into full megalomania

“Acts or threats of violence the primary purpose of which is to spread terror among the civilian population are prohibited.”

Geneva Convention Additional Protocol I
and
Department of Defense Law of War Manual, § 5.2.2

A madman has control of the most powerful military in the history of the world and the leaders of his party are too afraid to say or do anything to stop him.

You will know them by their fruits
