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
The SPLC has long monitored and exposed white nationalist and Christian nationalist hate groups, so it makes sense that an administration staffed by many people sympathetic to one or both of those movements would use the DOJ to go after them.
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
"changes to SNAP are happening alongside cuts to Medicaid. It leads to what Allen calls a “terrible synergistic effect” of people’s food being taken away and people getting sick because of it while health care is stripped away."
Eligibility unchanged: its all policy change via administrative burdens
No handshake deals with Pete Hegseth. Might get typhus.
Mazie Hirono: Are you telling me you have a handle on Strait of Hormuz?
Chris Wright: Can you repeat the question?
Hirono repeats.
Wright, not answering the question: I've been discussing since day I was sworn in.
Hirono, points out Wright invented a nuke background he does not have.
This is his plan to kill everyone on U.S. Navy ships.

Secretary of War P... @SecWar Follow The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. • •• We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.
The guy who quoted a Pulp Fiction Bible verse thing is using freedom of religion to justify this insanely stupid new policy.
There is no major religion that objects to vaccines.

Junger should consider writing his next piece in thicker air.

Just so we are clear (again) you’re allowed to break shit, threaten to kill the VP and smear shit on walls even assault Capitol Police and if you do get arrested you’ll get a pardon.
But if you just stand there holding signs, you’ll be thrown in jail with no pardon.
FCC chair Brendan Carr, who has threatened to revoke the licenses of broadcast outlets whose Iran war coverage displeases him, plans to attend the White House Correspondents’ Dinner as a guest this Saturday.
The suck-up media will never learn: When you invite fascists to dinner, they devour you.
if you're wondering how Trump has 45 minutes to shoot the shit with Joe Kernen he's in the beginning stages of a 5 and a half hour block of executive time today so
Trump never works, there are no ‘policy meetings’ he snorts Adderall in the morning & watches TV, does a phoner w/supplicant press and then hands out a trophy in late afternoon. It’s adult day care for a drug addict. Weekends he golfs in Palm Beach.
TurningPoint USA doesn’t succeed because they get a lot of likes.
They win because they have successfully created communities for young people to join. They give people a place to go and then let the politics follow.
It’s time the left stops pretending going viral will fix our problems.
Ken Burns says "history doesn't repeat, but it rhymes" in a wide ranging interview, where he explains how historians should fearlessly "call balls and strikes" and why his work could only air on public TV. Honored to interview him for Tampa's WEDUPBS. WATCH: loom.ly/jid29YE
KERNEN: Is there some type of currency swap possible with UAE to help if they need it? And do you think there'd be backlash?
TRUMP: It is. It's been a good country, a good ally of ours. It was shocking because we didn't think they'd get hit. I'm surprised, because they are really rich.
Trump: "I have to be careful because if I do trip or fall, it's gonna be the biggest story. That's why when I get out of those planes, I walk nice and slowly. I'm not looking to set any speed records."
Tomorrow marks 10 years since Prince passed. For the first time, I gathered nearly two decadesq of my writing, podcasts, talks & more into one curated resource, including playlists, rarities, a review of every video he ever made, and collaborations I did with his estate. anildash.com/2026/04/20/p...
Filming another TikTok or going onto another podcast isn’t gonna win us Gen Z.
What will is giving people a place to go and a reason to come back, and letting the politics follow from the belonging, not the other way around.

A child’s understanding of international relationships.
This is something I've been hoping Dems do for some time. Hold the Senate GOP accountable for every incompetent the confirmed, and the destruction of American lives that resulted, but also for the oversight not exercised, especially over Iran.
20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite's intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim.
This bullet point from Alex Karp/Palantir’s latest diatribe strikes me as the best representation of the whole project.
“The elite’s intolerance of religious beliefs…”
Let me stop you right there, Alex. You just made that up. That isn’t a thing in 2026 America.
