🚨 Talks with Iran have collapsed before they even began.

Iran refuses to negotiate under a U.S. naval blockade and threats, and Trump says he expects bombing to resume once the ceasefire ends.

Iran is warning it will retaliate if attacked—and planned talks in Pakistan appear dead.

Of course they are concentration camps. And @anatosaurus.bsky.social is right that once you accept the euphemism you are halfway to normalizing the thing.

Where the DOGE Operatives Are Now WIRED tracked down some of the most prominent figures of last year’s DOGE invasion. Here's where they are now—in government and beyond.

and because I can't help myself, read @telliotter.bsky.social's story from a few days ago about where major DOGE operatives are now -- from high ranking positions in the US government to major private companies. This story will never truly be over.

Voting rights groups sue DOJ to block national voter surveil-and-purge database  - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington Voting rights groups sued to block the DOJ from creating a national voter database to surveil and purge voters.

BREAKING: We sued the Trump administration, on behalf of

Nope. Freedom 250 is Trump’s Christian nationalist hijack of America250, the official nonprofit entity celebrating America’s birthday. The U.S. Semiquincentennial Commission was established by Congress in 2016.

Trump Fed pick Kevin Warsh won't say if Trump lost the 2020 election (he did).

Why is the House not holding Bondi in contempt? Why is Oversight not holding Epstein hearings? Why is Oversight not doing more in this case?

WARREN: Name one aspect of President Trump's economic agenda with which you disagree

KEVIN WARSH: He said he thought I'm out of central casting. I think I'd look older, grayer, and maybe show up with a cigar

WARREN: Quite adorable

WARREN: That's not my question. Are you refusing to tell us if you have investments in vehicles set up by Jeffrey Epstein?

KEVIN WARSH: Those assets will be sold if I'm confirmed

Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT): "Jeffrey Clark was indicted in Georgia, pushed out of DOJ for his unethical conduct, and the D.C. bar has recommended he lose his law license. The best they’ve got is a conspiracy theorist…it’s a joke.”

Well, at least the BBC is covering this.

Palantir's summary of CEO Alexander Karp's manifesto is generating buzz. Read the 22 bullet points. Among the 22 points summarizing Palantir CEO Alex Karp's manifesto is the belief that the US should consider reinstating the military draft.

Cartoon Of The Day

Magyar Péter (Ne féljetek) * ... @magyarpeterMP Until 31 May, the Orbán puppets may voluntarily step down from their positions. This applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia, the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, the President of the Constitutional Court, and the Prosecutor General. On 12 April, the Hungarian people voted for a complete political transformation. If these officials do not step down voluntarily by 31 May, then - on the basis of the mandate received from millions of Hungarians — we will remove them from office.

Hungary’s Péter Magyar issues an ultimatum.

We can’t trust Palantir with our NHS data Is this really the company we should be entrusting with our health service’s digital architecture?

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."
