Trump post appearing to depict himself as Jesus sparks backlash from religious right Evangelical and Catholic allies call the post “blasphemous” and urge its removal in a rare public break from a base that has largely stood by Trump.

Breaking news: President Trump posted a rendering of an image that appeared to depict him as Jesus, drawing rare criticism from the religious right, prompting calls for him to take down the post and allegations of blasphemy.

People are like "unfortunately, Trump is very funny" and that's not true. He is not. The person who is terrible but unfortunately very very funny is Eric Adams

I don't think it's a "problem" that there are fewer teen pregnancies. I think fewer teen pregnancies is a good thing, actually,

I was consulted recently by an editor of an interdisciplinary journal who was ready to retract a paper based on hallucinated citations. It’s a real research integrity problem, and it’s arriving in humanities and social sciences publishing. (It’s already been a problem in STEM.)

She helped the authorities deport her abuser. Then they deported her back to him. Immigrants in her situation "were given a promise that they would be protected as long as they were vulnerable."

Immigrants who survived domestic violence were given a "promise that they would be protected as long as they were vulnerable and shared their story with the cops."

Then ICE deported them anyway. www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/04/u-visa-t-violence-against-women-act-ice-trump-deportation-lawsuit/

Atlanta’s World Cup dream has a public bathroom problem Atlanta does not have enough public bathrooms to accommodate the hundreds of thousands of visitors coming to the Peach State for the World Cup, but here are some solutions.

The City of Atlanta, which spans an area of 134 square miles with over half a million residents, has exactly 18 free public bathrooms.

Only three are open 24/7, four require permission, five are single-stall facilities, and only five are located downtown.

We are not ready for the World Cup.

The marches had no shortage of skeptics. In Oxford, Miss,, Cass Rutledge, a first-year law student at the University of Mississippi, walked through the No Kings protest and around the town square on Saturday and questioned why people thought Mr. Trump was acting like a king. "He is, you know, a duly elected president who won the popular vote and the electoral college in a landslide," Mr. Rutledge said. "And so I'm a little bit confused on how he's acting differently than any other president." He pointed to the stalemate in Congress over the SAVE America Act, the Republican-driven bill to tighten voter identification and registration rules, which Democrats have called an attempt to suppress turnout based on false claims of voting fraud. Mr. Rutledge said that Mr. Trump was "going through the process" to try to get the legislation passed.

The NYT says today’s #NoKings protests had “no shortage of skeptics,” and then quoted exactly one of those skeptics: The chairman of the Ole Miss College Republicans (as of 2025.)

But of course, the Times doesn’t ID him as such. He’s just a Concerned Youth.
