EU provisionally approves €90bn Ukraine loan as Hungary drops opposition after Druzhba pipeline reopens – Europe live European Union presidency confirms approval of loan with formal procedures expected to conclude on Thursday During his press conference, Fico also doubles down on his criticism of the incoming Hungarian government led by Péter Magyar, in a further sign that the relations between Bratislava and Budapest could change dramatically in the next few months. Fico has been close friends with Orbán, often teaming up with him on energy issues, but it doesn’t look like this Slovak-Hungarian partnership will continue under the new management in Budapest.

Live updates: Trump says US is extending ceasefire while awaiting proposal from Iran President Donald Trump said the U.S. is extending its ceasefire with Iran as he waits for a "unified proposal" from the Islamic Republic, but the U.S. military will continue its blockade.

Interpretation: The lawless criminal is extending his ceasefire with Iran because he’s backed himself into a corner and has no f’ing idea what to do.

The interesting thing about the current dynamic is that Trump said he would extend the ceasefire indefinitely, and Iran’s response was basically “fuck you, we’re winning”

They also threatened retaliation for any more vessels seized… which we just did.

Trump Library Saga Takes Dark Turn: Where Did Millions in Funding Go? Four huge media conglomerates forked over $63 million in “settlements” earmarked for Trump’s presidential library. Democrats are trying to track that money—and the latest developments don’t inspire co...

I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer.

Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are missing.

Why should Americans trust that this money isn’t going straight into Donald Trump’s pockets?

Look at this chart.

Tax cuts for the rich are a policy choice. Cutting the social safety net in exchange for them is a policy choice.

States like New York have an opportunity to help undo this trickle down nonsense by raising taxes on the rich (who will still be rich).

I hope Gov. Hochul does.

BREAKING: Today, the D.C. Council voted 8-5 to move forward with a permanent youth curfew.

Punishment-first policies like this fall short of advancing real public safety because they put kids at risk of unnecessary encounters with police instead of providing opportunities.

The epitome of irresponsible spending. While massively cutting taxes to the wealthy, cutting health care and education public spending, this administration is pushing for a MASSIVE INCREASE in ICE and military spending. It's like it truly couldn't care less for wellbeing average American.

The dumbest decision ever made by a US President: blindly embrace Fossil Fuels and letting China develop knowhow, expertise, technology the world demands as it transitions Tina low carbon economy. Trump is an old man sitting on old suitcases at forlorn train station watching high-speed train go by.

Groups Sue Administration Over Approval Of Ultra-Deepwater Oil Drilling Project In Gulf Five Gulf and environmental groups have sued the Trump administration over its approval of BP’s new ultra-deepwater oil drilling project in the Gulf of Mexico.

"BP’s first completely new oilfield in the Gulf since the company’s Deepwater Horizon disaster 16 years ago.

It will be deeper than Deepwater Horizon, and in riskier waters... drilling 6 miles below the sea floor, deeper than the height of Mt. Everest"

"Your retirement is at risk." - Elizabeth Warren on the Trump admin shoving private equity and crypto into 401(k)s

The Trump Administration is pushing private equity, private credit, and crypto into retirement accounts.

Wall Street wants to dump its risky assets in your 401k – putting your retirement at risk.

Delusional Old Creep. The usual nonsense coming out Truth Social. Just hot air and empty words. No one believes you, Old Creep.

No one is above the law. Fundamental principle of any democracy. Least of all our leaders and big business. Big Oil has been an incredibly profitable Big Business in large part because of massive subsidies, overly friendly legislation and huge externalized costs. They must start paying.

Top military officials kept Trump out of the situation room during the rescue of downed soldiers bc of his erratic behavior. This is more proof that he isn’t fit to be president and is a threat to national security. This needs to be top news.

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

Analysis: Ramaswamy seems to criticize Acton for being a victim of child sex abuse Republican candidate for Ohio governor Vivek Ramaswamy posted the undated video of a campaign speech to his X account April 14.

In this moment, Ohio needs leaders capable of understanding what citizens go through, capable of seeing how words, actions, and policies affect us on a human level. @amyactonoh.bsky.social does; Vivek has no interest in such things. The difference is jarring.

May this May Day truly make a historic crux in which We The People stand up against the ruthless, careless violence of the Trump administration. Whether it is immigrants or the environment, HIS policies, guided by greed, are cruel, vicious, evil. A GENERAL STRIKE is needed. He MUST GO!!
