Add going to war with the Pope and losing that one too to Trump’s record.

NO WORK NO SCHOOL NO SHOPPING MAY DAY 2026

We’re excited to join May Day Strong, labor groups, and other allies to flex our economic power in a massive day of economic disruption on May 1.

There are many ways you can take action, from refusing to shop, to walking out of work, to attending a demonstration: www.mobilize.us/mayday/?utm_...

That’s on her. She knew about the many previous times that Trump didn’t pay his bills (including stiffing his lawyers), She deserves to not be paid. Hopefully, she learned a lesson (doubtful).

Trump stiffed the lawyer who cross-examined Stormy Daniels in his trial - never paid her bill.

Four days. Wrong brother got the K9s. Message delivered. This is how it starts. The Pope knows

Bomb threat. Pope's brother. 70-year-old retired principal.
Four days after Trump publicly attacked the Pope AND publicly said which brother he liked better...
K9 units rolled on the brother he didn't.
This is a signal story. And I wrote it tonight.

No amount of word salad from Texas Governor Greg Abbott can spin him trying to defund the police in Houston by asking them to refund money that funds the police.

Weaponized government in action.

You can do better than this guy, Texas.

There's been major flooding in Michigan.

Have Republicans in Congress funded FEMA yet?

Nope.

Important note: Hezbollah has said it WILL NOT agree to a ceasefire—so it’s unclear what effect this ceasefire will really have.

Allbirds was a shoe company whose business was declining. Eventually, the company sold off its assets for less than 1% of its previous valuation.

But when it announced it would rebrand from shoes to AI, its market value jumped more than 500%.

Wondering if AI is a bubble? Watch this.

“I believe Jane Doe 4 received a settlement”

Epstein’s accountant said the woman who alleges Trump & Epstein abused her as an underage teen did receive a settlement… He then tried to retract it saying “he can no longer confirm or deny”: www.thedailybeast.com/epstein-acco...

So…rhetoric gets turned up, targets get named, temperature rises…
…and suddenly there’s a bomb threat tied to it. Yeah…Pope Leo’s brother just received a BOMB THREAT.
But sure, it’s all just “talk,” right?
Funny how “just words” keep producing very real consequences.

BREAKING: U.S. President Donald Trump announced that Israel and Lebanon have agreed to a 10-day ceasefire starting at midnight in Lebanon.

Hezbollah did not participate in the U.S.-hosted ceasefire talks.

Franklin Graham Defends Trump's Jesus Post. Again. The pattern is clear: when Trump crosses a theological line, a familiar roster of pastors arrives to explain why it isn't really a line.

Franklin Graham today: the Pope should thank Trump.
Let that sit for a second.
My new piece on how the Trump movement uses faith as a costume — and what happens when real religious leaders push back.

There was a bomb threat at the Chicagoland home of Pope Leo’s brother, John Prevost, last night.

Neighbors and nearby residents in New Lenox, Illinois were forced to evacuate while police conducted searches.

Thankfully, no explosive devices were found.

Bastards.

An effort to force President Donald Trump to seek congressional approval for further war actions in Iran failed in the U.S. Senate for the fourth time Wednesday, with all but one Republican continuing to support the president’s Middle East conflict. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/16/r...

It’s been a week and a half since the second crew member was rescued from the F-15E Strike Eagle that Iran shot down. Why haven’t we heard anything more about him, or is he in Butler, Pennsylvania?

Today, more than 80% of the Democratic caucus stood with the American people and voted to block U.S. military aid to Netanyahu and his horrific, illegal wars.

My theory? Fetterman had a ton of medical bills after his stroke. They got wiped out. All he has to do is vote with Repubs.

... and Fetterman!

Senate votes down restraining Trump on Iran after Fetterman crosses Democrats again Democrat resolution fails as GOP Senate caucus remains in near lockstep support of Iran war

Yet again, Senate Republicans (and their colleague Fetterman) have blocked Democrats’ legislation aimed at stopping Trump’s illegal war on Iran.

Email your senators and urge them to keep fighting (or let them know how you feel about their latest betrayal): act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

JUST NOW: Bernie’s effort to block military aid to Israel FAILS with 40 votes

@MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty voted to sell more bombs and bulldozers to Israel — along with the rest of the Republicans and 7 Dems… including @SenSchumer 🤔

Chuck Schumer's two votes tonight in favor of bombs and bulldozers to Israel is yet another reason Senate Democrats must vote to remove him as leader post the midterms.

For nearly a half century, trickle-down economic policies have resulted in a tax system rigged in favor of the rich. This is not only bad for our economy, but it’s leading to a billionaire takeover of our democracy as well. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkiO0_uSJAk
