The Scandinavian countries are all way ahead of us once again.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy: "This is the greatest equipment in the world that we're deploying, and it makes the job of the air traffic controller that much easier. We're gonna use AI tools."

Advisor to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf says Trump’s ceasefire extension “makes no sense,” calling it an attempt to buy time for a surprise attack and claiming Iran “currently holds the initiative” as tensions escalate.

Iranian state-linked media, Tasnim News, asserts: "If the US wants to maintain the shadow of war, it should consider the Strait of Hormuz completely closed."

Tom Emmer uses his talking time during the House Republican news conference to go on an unhinged rant about Ilhan Omar

Warren: "Why try to end independence of the Fed? Bc Trump's economic failures are causing him political problems, he wants the Fed to artificially juice the economy Having a sock puppet in charge of the Fed would also give the president access to the Fed's powerful authorities to enrich himself"

Hegseth was one of 12 National Guardsmen removed from duty for failing an FBI background check out of the 25,000 National Guardsmen who were assigned to the presidential inauguration security mission to protect President Biden and his inauguration,14 days after January 6th

So Trump made him SecDef.

Yes, when you are finally out of office, you incompetent and ridiculously stupid buffoon.

💯 🎯

(the midterms can't come soon enough)

Surprised?

For Trump,
it was NEVER about a
party,
coalition,
marriage,
religion,
partnership,
beliefs,
relationships,
family,
voters,
MAGA,
AMERICANS,
…

It was and is ONLY about his inflated, monstrous ego.

He’d even burn the world down if it meant he could warm his cold little balls.

This is very good

It’s important to remember that the goal of lawsuits like the one brought by Kash Patel against the Atlantic isn’t to win, it’s to cost the Atlantic as much money as possible only to drop the suit before discovery, and as red meat for the MAGA base by simply filing it.

So it can be the new norm for current and higher prices.

If this is true (because almost everything he says isn't), it shows how stupid Donald is. He doesn't realize that this increased demand will make US oil prices go up, causing domestic gas prices to rise further. The only beneficiary? The US oil and gas industry, which gave Donald a $1 billion bribe.

It's April 20, 2026: Tensions rise as U.S.-Iran talks teeter, allies warn of economic fallout, midterm fears grip the White House, and Kash Patel files a $250M lawsuit against The Atlantic.

All this and more in today's recap.

Spain has recently outpaced the US in GDP growth, emerging as one of the fastest-growing major advanced economies. As of 2024–2025, Spain’s economy is growing at a rate over 3% annually, exceeding the US (~2%) and Eurozone (~1%) averages.

Donald is such an uninformed idiot.

So to recap:

-$160 BILLION+ unconstitutionally collected in tariffs from 🇺🇸 corps, despite Trump saying foreign co’s pay

-they pass that cost to us

-Now corps collect the💰back… from us?🤔

heads they win, tails we lose!😕🤷🏼 (almost like this was the plan all along)

“I’m” winning the war

Me me me me me

The malignant narcissist can’t help himself

Jeffries on Kash Patel: "We have to stop putting all the blame on the people who nominated this incompetent, toxic, malignant individual. What about the people who confirmed him? It's extraordinary to me that Senate Republican confirmed people like Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Patel."

"Too cheap to meter".
That was a phrase coined by Atomic Energy Commissioner in 1954.
NOPE.
Nuclear energy is neither cheap nor safe.

Wasserman Schultz: MAGA just doesn’t know what to do with so much winning. I mean, they have skyrocketing gas prices, grocery prices, housing prices, utility prices, and health care prices, and they refuse to do anything about it.
