Only kinda suddenly.

This was planned at least a day in advance -- this invite went out yesterday!

The baffling thing is that this was announced yesterday.

Just a reminder that we knew Melania Trump's statement was happening as of *yesterday*.

By my count, there are now over 50 House Democrats, along with two Senate Democrats, who have called for Trump to be impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment for his post on Iran.

Is this real?

WBUTG?

Truth Social post: A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don't want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

Absolutely wild to me that the same government produced these two images on the same morning.

WH pool report 1 -- checking in, threat to Iranian civilization | White House Pool | Forth From White House Pool | Forth

From: Shirish Date Sent: Tuesday, April 7, 2026 9:30 AM To: DL WHO Wranglers Subject: WH pool report 1 -- checking in, threat to Iranian civilization Good morning from your White House, where it is a cool but pleasant spring day. The president has no events open to the pool or the larger press corps today. According to the daily guidance, he began participating in "executive time" at 0800, which may, per the schedule, last until the 1600 "policy meeting." Pool has asked what exactly the president is doing in this period, but has as of yet not received additional guidance. Pool will note that six minutes into executive time, the president wrote on his social media platform that "whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again."

White House Press Pool report from this morning.

Executive time until 4pm, and then “a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.”

Did you confirm receipt?

The White House got angry about it, though.

(Still probably proves your point)

While President Trump Directed Heroic Rescue, the Radical Left Spread Deranged Lies | White House Pool | Forth From White House Pool | Forth

The White House put out a press release filled with screen grabs of tweets, calling any rumors of the president's health issues "deranged leftists [...] spreading vicious, fabricated conspiracy theories."

"...the Radical Left revealed the true sickness rotting their souls."

You should get to take the day off. You already worked a day in your sleep.

Going Forth, Again Allow us to reintroduce ourselves. We’re Forth, and we’re a new kind of news site, featuring updates from primary sources as news breaks.

Not yet helpful in this specific case, but we’re building @forth.news to bring trusted reporting together with the primary sources journalists are monitoring.

Trust through transparency, and unmatched speed to publication.

We’d love to hear your thoughts.

This is why I’m here

They’re cable, not broadcast.

Agreed, but that assumes that it is being asked to replace journalists. If you’re not asking it to generate articles from scratch, (and especially if done without guardrails) this becomes moot.

Some thoughts on this. The AI isn’t necessarily the problem, it’s the cavalier attitude towards plagiarism, and the truth.

But only a few of us are dyeing.

We’re journalists looking to build technology to help journalism and its audiences.

Please share any concerns or ideas to improve, we’re listening. 4/4

Democratic States File Lawsuit to Block Trump’s Mail‑Voting Order | Forth Follow the story on Forth

Here’s an example from today. As some states sue the Trump administration over a voting EO, Forth is updating this thread with new reporting and new statements, coming from verified official sources. 3/4

@forth.news is taking a different tack.

We surface trusted journalism and primary sources, and publish them together as stories unfold. We leverage AI to help us sort through all of the material quickly, and summarize the latest. Everything is cited, and reporting is used with permission. 2/4

This is why journalists do not trust AI.

It’s a shame because this is a righteous goal, to increase coverage in areas that do not have much — if any — local news infrastructure. But plagiarizing others’ work is absolutely not the answer. 1/4
