Iran just seized 2 ships — AFTER Trump extended the ceasefire indefinitely. But “SOS!!!”

At least 34 tankers linked to Iran, including vessels carrying crude oil, have successfully bypassed the U.S. blockade, per FT

Here’s the very simple truth. We should ban all Gerrymandering.

Until then, to unilaterally disarm is political suicide and malpractice.

NEW REPUBLIC: “Where Did Millions in Funding Go?”

$63 MILLION companies paid in *settlements* to Trump appears to have vanished (into his pocket) and @SenWarren wants answers.

The verdict of a prominent conservative website and magazine:

"A 79-year-old man who has long dealt in chaos is now being consumed by that chaos. His episodes are becoming more frequent, his good days further apart. What he has lost is not a sense of decency or decorum—he never had those...

Fisherman. We're blowing up fishing boats.

Virginia Democrats Win Redistricting Referendum, Potentially Flipping Four House Seats By turning Trump's own redistricting gamble against him, Virginia just changed the math on Congress.

By turning Trump's own redistricting gamble against him, Virginia just changed the math on Congress.

The energy we need to send fascism back into hiding.

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.

The Justice Dept’s theory of the case— that the group that single-handedly disassembled the Ku Klux Klan defrauded its donors by concealing that it was using paid informant to do that work and more— has about as much merit as the now-dismissed charges against Jim Comey.

The 27-Year-Old Diplomat Waging Trump’s Cultural War With Europe

“In country after country,the [US] was drastically shifting its approach.Groups fighting for gender equality,women’s rights, gay rights and electoral reform were out. Organizations dedicated to religious freedom,right-wing speech and fighting abortion rights were in.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/w...

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

One could liken this to Kissinger's "madman" theory of statecraft, except with an actual madman.

Alt text: Screenshot of a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Abdulkhaleq Abdulla (@Abdulkhaleq_UAE), with a verified badge. The post reads: “This is what I told Reuters today: The UAE no longer needs America to defend it, as it has proven during the Iranian aggression that it is capable of defending itself with distinction. What the UAE needs is to acquire only the best and latest weapons that America has. Therefore, it is time to think about closing the American bases, as they are a burden and not a strategic asset.” The post is labeled “Translated from Arabic by Grok” and shows a timestamp of 10:21 AM · 4/19/26 with 139K views.

NEW: UAE scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla says the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a “burden, not a strategic asset” and suggesting they should be closed. The United States’ standing in the region has been obliterated.

Relieved they’re trying to manage his crazy…but also concerned they have to manage his crazy.

Trump’s amazing peace deal is going well. A peace deal the likes of which nobody has ever seen. Best peace deal ever. Nobody thought it was possible.

It seems like a Prime Minister who continues to get his corruption trial delayed for years because his government is engaged in wars has a personal incentive to keep wars going as long as possible.

Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

Just sobbed hardest I have since my mom died in 2020.

She missed these trials by a few months.

One of most ruthless cancers. Hard to fathom that maybe she'd still be here.

I feel such a hole inside.

In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes.

Kevin Warsh wants to lead America’s central bank.

Why does he have more than $100 million in undisclosed assets?

It’s getting to be like the boy who cried wolf. How long are the markets going to believe him?

“They’ll never close the Strait again” lasted a solid 10 hours.

Masterful negotiation (read: market manipulation) from Trump

CNN: “It’s a blowout… not even close… Pope Leo absolutely crushing Trump when it comes to how popular they are.”

All of his businesses and property should be nationalized and dissolved and he should be stripped of literally every single asset and dollar. Put him in public housing and let him live off of whatever UBI the next Congress passes.
