Listening to Hakeem Jeffries on @lawrenceodonnell.bsky.social say Dems will focus on lowering costs if they take back the House is making a promise he can’t keep, because exactly how is he going to do that? Given Trump’s polling numbers it’s clear the most important thing is to stop Trump.
When the Dems regain the WH they had better not focus solely on returning integrity to the DOJ; they have to focus on holding everyone accountable who went along with the perversion of justice in order to satisfy Donald Trump.
Sec of Defense Hegseth signing a shell with a banner that reads “The Arsenal of Freedom” but I removed the “nal” in Arsenal So it reads the “The Arse of Freedom”
Fixed it:
It’s beyond “concepts of a plan.” Boom is Supersonic has actually flown a proof of concept at greater than Mach 1.0 — the first non-military plane to do so since Concorde. They have some interesting tech to prevent sonic booms from impacting the land below. But years away from an airliner.
Nah. It’s a company called Boom Supersonic. They flew a proof of concept past Mach 1.0 without a boom. But they’re years away from a certified commercial supersonic airliner.
JD Vance?
There is no legal underpinning to Trump’s blockade in international waters (the Gulf of Oman), just as there is no legal underpinning to Trump’s war with Iran in the first place.
And people say we shouldn’t compare Trump to Hitler. This certainly puts him in the same category.
This is Kirk Moore, the Oklahoma school principal who stopped a mass shooting by tackling the gunman despite being shot himself.
Not all heroes wear capes, and many public servants will do anything to protect their communities.
His students honoured him by making him Prom King.
Mark Carney just landed on Time 100 Most Influential People.
While others talk, he’s calling out global cracks and pushing real cooperation.
Even Christine Lagarde is backing him.
So proud of our PM! Canada’s on the world stage. 🇨🇦

These defenders fought not only for Ukraine, but to stop Russian killing and madness from spreading further into Europe.

The world should remember who stopped Russian violence from spreading across Europe.

What kind of an idiotic decision is this? Let the construction go on until the appeals court decides whether the construction is legal. If they rule it’s illegal Trump, will appeal to the Supreme Court and the appeals court will stay its decision. At some point the courts become irrelevant.
He’s gonna be surprised when SCOTUS votes against his interpretation of the 14th Amendment: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”
Your non-sequiturs actually made more sense than Trump wilted word salad.
🇺🇦 Ukraine's creditors agree to defer payments on state debt for 10 years
Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko signed a memorandum of understanding with the Group of Official Creditors, which provides for the deferral of payments on state and state-guaranteed debt.

The Titanic sank 114 years ago at 02:20 hours (05:20 UTC) on April 15, 2012. More than 1,600 people perished.
Brilliant.
In 1971 President Nixon recorded his view of Canadian PM Pierre Trudeau. He called him an “asshole” and a “pompous egghead.” When Trudeau learned of the insults via the Watergate hearings, he said “I’ve been called worse things by better people.”
Another sign of Trump’s cognitive decline is his dislike for Canada, which wasn’t all way the case. The result less than a quarter of Canadians have a favorable view of America.

🇨🇦 Carney's promise to defend Canada against Trump’s trade war won the Liberal Party a majority with 174 of the 343 seats.
He will have the ability to pass legislation without relying on support from opposition benches & he could stave off a federal election until 2029.

Unfortunately, Article II, Section 4 is superseded by the 25th Amendment, Section 1:
“In case of the removal of the President from office or of his death or resignation, the Vice President shall become President.”
Canadian PM Mark Carney’s Liberal Party won all three byelections, securing an outright majority in the House of Commons. This includes the Terrebonne riding in Québec, that the Supreme Court ordered a new election had to be held because the Liberal only won by 1 vote during the previous election. This time the Liberal won 48.4 to 46.8 over the Bloc Québécois candidate, and by 732 votes.
Canadian PM Mark Carney’s Liberal Party won all three byelections, securing an outright majority in the House of Commons.
Trump once told his voters you’ll never have to vote again. Some took that to mean he would cancel any future elections. Given his picking a fight with Pope Leo, and angering Catholics, many of whom voted for him, it’s clear he knew all along he no longer needs their votes since he can’t run again.
Canadian PM Mark Carney’s Liberal Party secures a majority in the House of Commons after 2 Toronto byelections went their way.
Mark Carney’s Liberal Party has secured a majority in Canada’s House of Commons after the party is projected to win two of the three byelections held today. The third in Québec is too close to call.
JD Vance has a new book coming out about his path to being a Catholic. Would be a shame if if he got excommunicated just as the book drops.
Despite Trump saying that the US would only blockade ships going to and from Iranian ports, there is virtually no traffic going through the Strait of Hormuz the night of April 13, 2026:
