It's April 20, 2026: Tensions rise as U.S.-Iran talks teeter, allies warn of economic fallout, midterm fears grip the White House, and Kash Patel files a $250M lawsuit against The Atlantic.

All this and more in today's recap.

a brown wire-haired pup stands on a wooden deck in a grassy yard. he looks at us with golden eyes and his right ear flipped inside out. he has a pipe-shaped stick in his mouth, giving him the appearance of a sophisticated and dapper gentleman. just give him a deerstalker cap and a cloak, and he'd give Sherlock Holmes a run for his money.

This pup found a stick shaped like an old timey pipe earlier today and has already solved three mysteries. 13/10

Trump Admin Aims to "Break the Forest Service," Nearly 200 Million Acres at Stake YouTube video by Democracy Now!

Among other things,in this interview it was announced that the nominee to head the park service is a former CEO of a logging company. He has said publicly that Roosevelt was wrong to create the NPS. I assume that, like the education department, the national parks will be next to go.

Ordered free, still locked up: Judges fume as Trump administration holds ICE detainees So far this year, the Eastern District's six active judges have ordered almost people 2,000 freed.

I'm not sure who would enforce the decisions of these judges, because the Department of Justice is staffed by loyalists who are acting as Trump's personal attorneys.

National Park Service sued for authorizing mining at Mojave National Preserve Colosseum Mine operations at Mojave National Preserve have triggered a lawsuit.

If they win and it passes the Supreme Court on appeal (which you know is coming), it could set a precedence for blocking oil and mineral exploration on National Park lands.

Just look at how many people turned out on a Saturday night in April, in a gym in Oklahoma.

Police originally claimed to have killed the shooter.But they actually killed the hero & let the shooter go.Even worse, AL AG concluded the shooting by the officer was justified.
