He can’t say no to this because, technically, he was on the clock at the Olympics. We paid for that and there’s video of him getting ripped. So we already have proof of at least one instance.

Secret docs: Neo-Nazi group's newest member is ex-Navy SEAL tied to war crimes case Records from the white supremacist group Patriot Front show one of its newest recruits is Corey Scott, who once testified that he killed an unarmed captive in Iraq.

Didn't see this one coming: Corey Scott, a former Navy SEAL medic who upended the trial of Eddie Gallagher by testifying that he, not Gallagher, murdered an ISIS prisoner, is a white nationalist member of Patriot Front, according to @nick-martin.bsky.social. www.informant.news/patriot-fron...

Testing finds toxic metals where Tesla discharges wastewater The drainage district that commissioned the testing has sent a cease-and-desist letter to the company, which says it is in compliance with all requirements for its state wastewater discharge permit.

Underlying these disputes is the likelihood Trump will bail out of the problem he created by launching a war against Iran by letting RU fix it.

Tweet from Hegseth that says The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately.

Public health got started largely in the
military for a reason, Hegseth.

Remember the 1918 flu pandemic.

Remember Walter Reed’s work on yellow fever.

Remember George Washington ordering his troops to be inoculated against smallpox.

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, hooded, 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.”

Indictment of @splcenter.org is based on clear false narrative.

False: DOJ and Kash Patel's claim that SPLC supported white supremacist groups via paying informants.

Reality:

“We frequently shared what we learned from informants with local and federal law enforcement, including the FBI."

#38 in Patel v. Figliuzzi (S.D. Tex., 4:25-cv-02548) – CourtListener.com MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER Granting 25 Opposed MOTION TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM (Signed by Judge George C Hanks, Jr) Parties notified. (knp4) (Entered: 04/21/2026)

In an extremely funny coincidence of timing, Patel's SLAPP suit against Frank Figliuzzi for saying more or less what The Atlantic said gets dismissed in Texas.

"Figliuzzi’s statement is rhetorical hyperbole that cannot constitute defamation."

RFK Jr. Says Measles Outbreaks Not His Fault: ‘I’ve Never Been Anti-Vaccine’ The HHS secretary, known for spreading disinformation about vaccine safety, falsely claimed people aren’t getting vaccinated because “the government lied to them during COVID.”

New from me: RFK Jr., who has spent decades pushing disinformation about the safety of vaccines, insanely insisted to Congress today he's played no role in fueling the resurgence of measles in the U.S.

Texas can require Ten Commandments in classrooms, court says The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the state can enforce its 2025 law requiring public schools to display donated posters of the Ten Commandments.

Breaking: Texas can force schools to post Ten Commandments, federal appeals court rules.

The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the state can enforce its 2025 law requiring public schools to display donated posters of the Ten Commandments.

If Melania Trump was actually an advocate for kids, she’d start promoting vaccines.

Is she at RFK Jr’s house?

It was @ryanjreilly.com who grilled Patel in this revealing moment of self-contradiction during today's SPLC press conference.

The next administration must make clear that any immigrant, refugee, or asylum seeker wrongly deported, exiled, or otherwise mistreated by this administration will be readmitted with an expedited path to citizenship. Send a plane to get them.

We can't undo the damage. But we can do something.

The scariest thing about Trump’s poll numbers is that it enhances his incentive to subvert the Constitution and mid-term elections.

I worry we are not prepared for the Constitutional test to come.

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:

This is horrific. I feel physically ill.
