As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

Peace Talks Day is off to a great start.

Tech billionaires want Christians to believe in AI For Peter Thiel and JD Vance allies, the tech right is framing AI as a moral—even divine—mission.

New from me: Tech bros have launched a campaign to convince Christians that AI is godly: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Péter Magyar, who unseated Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán Sunday in a landslide, shared a bombshell with reporters that the outgoing leader had diverted taxpayer funds to bankroll the American Conservative Political Action Conference. trib.al/vozuOJA

⚡️⚡️⚡️ DON'T FORGET TRUMP RAPED LITTLE KIDS & COVERED UP THE EPSTEIN FILES ⚡️⚡️⚡️

I'll just leave this here.

Trump: "Powell is a bad chairman, and I was surprised when Biden extended him."

(Trump appointed Powell.)

“Bad,” as in “not corrupt?”

The nonstop grift the Trump family is running on taxpayers is just extraordinary.

Klein: I agree that it is a revolutionary technology, that it is going to transform our economy on the scale of the Industrial Revolution.

But unlike the Industrial Revolution, which created huge numbers of jobs, the goal of this revolution is to eliminate jobs.

CPJ calls on Kuwait to release US-Kuwaiti journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin - Committee to Protect Journalists Washington, D.C., April 13, 2026—The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on Kuwaiti authorities to immediately and unconditionally release Kuwaiti-American journalist Ahmed Shihab-Eldin.

We should be allowed compensation. Corporations are over stepping laws with the intent of ‘asking forgiveness is better than asking permission’. Thank you for your work.

Millions of people had their photos transferred to a facial recognition company without their knowledge or consent. The FTC's "enforcement" amount to a pinky promise not to do it again. I'm demanding answers.

I choose the one on the left!

THE WARS THAT STAIN THE PRESENT MOMENT WITH BLOOD ARE THE FRUIT OF THE IDOLATRY OF POWER AND MONEY. LET US NOT GROW ACCUSTOMED TO THE CLAMOR OF WEAPONS AND IMAGES OF WAR! PEACE IS NOT MERELY A BALANCE OF POWER. IT IS THE WORK OF PURIFIED HEARTS, OF THOSE WHO SEE OTHERS AS BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO BE PROTECTED, NOT ENEMIES TO BE DEFEATED. ~ POPE LEO XIV ACT.TV

The Pope isn’t afraid of Donald Trump, JD Vance or Pete Hegseth. He will not be silenced just because a fragile little man child can’t accept criticism.

Trump IS weak on crime, if he wasn’t, he wouldn’t be committing so many.

A dear friend here said to me “I think it's ok to be angry, as long as it's manifested appropriately. If I was ok with what’s going on, it would show I support it.” If you’re angry or grieving over our country right now, I’d like to be your friend. I know you have a good soul. #Jaye’sMorningLight

I wouldn’t take that order, I don’t care how much the pay was gonna be.

He’s a constant flow of lies.

Q: Did you post that picture of yourself depicted as Jesus Christ?

TRUMP: I did post it and I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do Red Cross. Only the fake news could come up with that one.

Too much humor for a Sunday morning and enjoying every minute of it.

Blockading a blockade is the work of a pure stable genius like no one has ever seen before. Only Donald Trump could have thought of this.

It's like, "You think you can shoot at us? Well, we'll show you—we'll shoot ourselves!!"

We should all have tears in our eyes.
