- I think him giving Maxwell a pardon would finally be ‘the thing’ that causes a major exodus of MAGA from Trump — I know, I know, history and past cultish behavior but I just can’t see them letting this one go seeing how much they have invested in the Epstein horrors…

Grim but useful read.

Dan Lamothe @DanLamothe X.com EXCLUSIVE: It could take six months to fully clear the Strait of Hormuz of mines deployed by the Iranian military, and any such operation is unlikely to be carried out until the U.S. war with Iran ends, the Pentagon has informed Congress — an assessment that means the conflict's economic impact could extend late into this year or beyond. 11:52 AM • 4/22/26 • 5.3K Views

This timeline means the war’s economic impact could extend late into this year and beyond.

‘We were terrified they were going to kill us’: fishers who survived US boat strike speak out An Ecuadorian fishing crew describe their ordeal as victims of Trump’s purported war on ‘narcoterrorists’

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

With the result in Virginia, here's what we know about how mid-decade redistricting has shifted the landscape.

Across the 7 states with new maps:
—11 districts have shifted toward Democrats;
—9 districts have shifted toward the GOP.

Tax the rich - it’s not hard. It’s just being blocked by billionaires and politicians in their pocket.

In big win for Democrats, voters approve Virginia redistricting plan, moving battle to court Virginia is now the second Democratic-controlled state to approve a redistricting plan in response to President Donald Trump’s unprecedented mid-decade gerrymanders in other states.

NEW: In a huge win, Virginians approved a plan that will allow Democrats to redraw the state’s congressional map to counter GOP gerrymanders.

The redraw could net four more blue seats in Congress in the midterms.

Litigation seeking to block the measure is ongoing.

🚨 Virginia has APPROVED the amendment for congressional redistricting, @nbcnews.com projects. A victory for Democrats that will help them gain several House seats in the 2026 midterms.

Our Afghan allies provided critical support to U.S. forces for over 20 years, but the Trump-Vance Administration has turned its back on them and their families, shutting down key resettlement programs. The idea that we’re now in talks to send as many as 1,100 Afghans, whom we have already evacuated, to the DRC—a country with severe political instability, violence, and a massive refugee and humanitarian crisis—is insane. [1/2]

We told these Afghans that we would help ensure their safety after they helped us. We have an obligation to follow through on our promise because it’s the right thing to do, and because going back on our word will only make it harder for us to build the kinds of partnerships we may need to advance our national security in the future. [2/2]

My statement on reports that the Trump-Vance Administration may send Afghans, including those who served with the U.S. military and more than 400 children, to the Congo:
