Elon trying to backpedal any actual results 😆
Nothing has killed more soldiers in the history of humanity than disease. While worst is a more complicated question Hegseth is absolutely the dumbest secretary of defense the United States has ever had. bsky.app/profile/ones...
It feels like the US is sliding back into the Dark Ages with its merger of religion and state, and also so many grifters feasting on the uneducated.
BREAKING: The so called 'SAVE' Act has FAILED in the Senate and will not become law.
I wrote this piece on how in reality, this is the Voter Restriction Act to prevent women from voting. It is fascism and would have installed Trump as a permanent dictator. www.qasimrashid.com/p/the-save-a...
Ben McKenzie: "Last year, a crypto company estimated that $154B of illicit activity was financed via cryptocurrency. And to give you an example of how deep the corruption goes, the biggest stablecoin company by far is Tether. And their broker is Cantor Fitzgerald Howard Lutnick's Firm.
Exactly. Is it partially because the public feels safe from this dangerous person, as they are not after 'strangers'? Ironically you are most likely to die from someone you know. Domestic violence IS the greater public danger.
The American Age of Piracy 🏴☠️
A decisive step for Europe’s digital future. The European Commission has awarded a €180 million, 6-year contract to European cloud providers, strengthening our capacity to manage sensitive data under EU rules. 1/2
At some point the endless string of corrupt behaviour has got to catch up to Doug Ford. How will this play with all the rubes who see him as 'one of them'?
Elon shoving all his failed shit into the SpaceX ahead of the IPO: X The Everything App, the Mechahitler CSAM Generator, and now tens of thousands of unsellable Cybertrucks
Wall Street figures a bag of shit this big must be worth nearly $2 trillion
Vance, Witkoff, Kushner—It's not simply that they're not effective diplomats, nor diplomats of any sort... it's that they're out for private game and in the process are creating misery for tens of millions and leading the world towards catastrophic destruction. time.com/article/2026...
Priceless.
The only time I personally heard of a driver charged for hitting a cyclist was when the cyclist hit was a police office 😑 Otherwise cyclists = squirrels #Ottawa #OttawaPolice
The soulless, sociopathic orange cunt stands in his suit looking bored and devoid of intelligent thought whilst an Oval Office guest is collapsed on the ground behind him. Fellow guests, able to demonstrate more compassion than the pedo protector has ever mustered in his entire miserable existence, are helping the collapsed man. The photo captures the insipid, disdain Trump holds for any other human being not permanently kissing his fat, wrinkly ass. At least today is one day closer to his death.
Congratulations to photographer Andrew Harnik who has won the White House Correspondents’ Association award for presidential news coverage with one of the greatest Oval Office photos ever captured.
Wonderful! Hope 💛 for democracies globally.
Opposition leader Péter Magyar at a rally.
Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
The President of the United States and the Secretary of State are attending a UFC event tonight as negotiations with Iran collapse in Islamabad—raising the risk of a massive war restarting.

As a decades long Linux supporter and user since the 90's, this is great. #cdnpoli
French 🇫🇷 President Macron 🔥👏
"He plans to replace Microsoft Windows systems in French government with Linux to reduce reliance on 🇺🇸U.S. tech and gain more control over its data."
NASA March 2026 Land+Ocean temperature anomaly vs 1951-1980 in °C. The temperature rise comes with polar amplification and Jet Stream distortion enabling cold air to move from high latitudes to lower latitudes. arctic-news.blogspot.com/2026/04/a-hu...
Tonight in Budapest’s Heroes’ Square, a sea of young Hungarians—who’ve only ever known Orbán’s corrupt, suffocating regime—are packed together, singing, chanting, and daring to dream of freedom again.
Their hope is raw, their courage is real. The heart of Europe is beating in Budapest tonight. 🇭🇺❤️🇪🇺
Pete Hegseth believes that Jesus guides Tomahawk missiles, even when they hit elementary schools.
I wrote about the roots of his militant faith - from the Crusades to the confederacy - and what they mean for the US and Iran today.
Visiting MIL at 94, the main topic of conversation is why hasn't God taken her? Tried to get MAID, but can't as she is quite healthy (death is not imminent).
Spanish PM Pedro calls for the IMMEDIATE ARREST of Netanyahu
He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.” #cdnpoli
Not that I am disagreeing with you. Even if its purely aesthetic, which it is for a lot of religious politicians, they still have the problem of the Pope directly contradicting their Godly policies. Maybe JD would have to leave the Catholic church
Put differently: most Americans would rather hold out hope of someday being in on the grift than hold grifters accountable to the law.
🎯 new American dream
Isn't JD Vance a Catholic? He will be the next President - soonish. So how will that work?
Trump's Evangelical administration has a big problem if God's #1 (the Pope) removes your legitimacy. Hegseth Department of War is using 'God's will' as cover for their war crimes. Pope is pushing back and that puts him in legitimate danger.
