Inflation is surging.
Grocery prices are near record highs.

Trump and Infantino are two peas in a rotten pod: They’re both greedy, corrupt international leaders who lie to get what they want, flout the rules, and gouge everyday people. It’s no surprise, then, that their respective domains have come to resemble each other.

At what point will “journalists” who take Donald Trump at his word about Iran start feeling complicit in helping him manipulate the markets?
What you have to understand is that the United States started a war, almost immediately lost it, then began the laborious process of negotiating against itself, and is now settling into the secondary denial phase …
📌MEDIA: Stop calling Jared Kushner a "high-level negotiator." He's a damn thief operating in his repulsive family's best interests not ours.
Clownishly evil sociopaths like Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, Donald Trump, Stephen Miller, Larry Ellison and Benjamin Netanyahu should be *nowhere near* the levers of global power—and increasingly both the left *and* the right see it. So what do we do now?
We let the worst people on Earth become the most powerful people on Earth, at a time when the most powerful people on Earth had ready access to the tools to destroy Earth.
Those words will be on humanity's gravestone—should any of a dozen rolling disasters cause global collapse.
This is complete Insanity. The rest of the world sees what is going on.
I mean, of course that’s what happening. It’s been clear the whole time
NYT INVESTIGATION: As the Trump administration & Congress last year moved to repeal sanctions on Syria, the Qatar-based family that most stood to benefit was privately negotiating a real-estate partnership with Jared Kushner and proposing a Trump golf course in Syria www.nytimes.com/2026/04/19/u...
It really takes a lot to make Iran’s fanatical theocrats look like the adult in the room, but Trump has done it.
i dont understand, 2 days ago i was told there was a deal, i was told it was over and we got everything we wanted, i was told the strait would never be closed again, i was told all this just as markets were hitting their stride on friday afternoon
1/The Justice Department has moved to drop the last remaining January 6 insurrection criminal matters: the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys seditious conspiracy cases. Trump commuted their sentences when he returned to office, which got them out of prison, but it didn’t erase their convictions.
These are the ledes on the top stories from major media outlets after Donald Trump threatened more war crimes on Iran:
CNN: Trump says US delegation heading to Pakistan for talks with Iran
ABC News: Iran live updates: Iranian leader vows 'new defeats' for US
🧵
Look it’s simple we want less stress and we want to be able to buy pet food and paper towels and body wash on the same day again without it being a major financial event and we want Wishbone back and those are the things we want
Someone tell me who’s going to do anything about it
Why can't media you do more than one thing at a time?
Epstein victims are still demanding justice
ICE agents are still abusing their power.
Same here!!
There are those who feel obliged to make excuses for Donald Trump. But for the rest of us, writes Alan Rusbridger , it is time to speak bluntly about what we see: the guy is nuts
Triumphal arches have typically been built by imperial powers and/or to commemorate military victories. There are some exceptions, but those look more "monument" than "triumph."
A monument to America on its 250th birthday should be about liberty, equality, ingenuity, and industry.
what is the charge. what crime has been done
Headline from The Guardian: Traders placed over $1 billion in perfectly timed bets on the Iran war. What is going on?
Yeah geez weird impossible to know I guess
Trump called every reporter in the observable universe, who all dutifully repeated his updates about Iran, and all those updates have fallen apart in fewer than 36 hours.
How long will legacy media keep doing this?
What a weird timeline. I still think the weasel that got into the large hadron collider in 2016 thrust us into an alternate universe.
Breaking: HHS’s ban on gender-affirming care is struck down. Rarely have I read a ruling this sharply worded.
“This case is one of a long list of examples of how a leader’s wanton disregard for the rule of law causes very real harm to very real people.”

Can’t wait to hear about the new “peace deal” Monday around 7:30 AM before the markets open.
There is so much market manipulation going on in this administration.
