Cancel the 2026 White House Correspondents’ Dinner The White House Correspondents Dinner shouldn't invite a president who is an enemy of free speech. Better no "Nerd Prom" than this one.

The #BraveOfUS stand up and confront power and that's exactly what @vetsaboutface.bsky.social is doing with 150 veterans and active duty military in the Capitol rotunda right now to demand Congress end this criminal war on Iran.

NYT’s Investigation of How Trump’s War on Iran Started Leaves Out the Paper’s Own Silence A full accounting of how the disastrous Iran War came about must grapple with the US military/industrial complex's megaphone: the compliant US corporate media.

#FakeTapper only attacks #Stefanik because he knows she's politically dead. Otherwise he would be more deferential.

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

‘We Will Turn Trauma Into Something Beautiful’

Having spent the past seven weeks in this country reporting for @thenation.com on Nepal's "GenZ Revolution" and what comes next, I can assure you there has been no "revolution." Nor was that even what Nepal's GenZ movement was aiming for.

Hilarious headline in the #NYTimes. In what alternate universe is taxing a second home the "apex" of an "anti-rich current?"

On April 15, at the direction of #SOUTHCOM commander Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Three male narco-terrorists were killed during this action. No U.S. military forces were harmed.

Five boats hit in five days. This means either:

- These aren't drug boats: the intelligence is sloppy, or the killing is happening just for the sake of it
- These *are* drug boats: there are so many out there because this strategy isn't deterring anyone

Either way, a failure.

For me, a big “aha” moment in law school was when I realized that every year, the handful of normal, median-ish guys (they were all guys) who would land huge clerkships seemingly out of nowhere were all officers in the student FedSoc chapter

It's the 7th month of the US bombing random ships in Latin American waters they claim are drug smugglers (reminder that two survivors who were rescued were repatriated, not charged), and the death toll is 150+, and it barely gets discussed.

Israel is attacking Lebanon to sabotage the Iran ceasefire, but the media is hiding its true motivation Israel moved quickly to sabotage the Iran ceasefire with air attacks on Lebanon, but the mainstream media refuses to report this as an attempt to torpedo the fragile talks.

#Netanyahu is killing hundreds of people in #Lebanon to torpedo the U.S./#Iran ceasefire talks. And the mainstream media is ignoring #Israel's murderous sabotage effort. My post @mondoweiss.net. mondoweiss.net/2026/04/isra...

An mRNA treatment for PANCREATIC CANCER was in trials, among many other uses. Choosing to end this research is choosing to sentence millions to an early, painful death

If #Netanyahu truly wanted peace negotiations to succeed, why would he order #Israel's military to kill another 112 people in #Lebanon? And why would J.D. Vance quibble about what the ceasefire actually means? Just stop the killing. @mondoweiss.net

Kudos to the #NYTimes. This report proves that the U.S./#Israel air war against #Iran is killing civilians, not only striking military targets. The rest of the U.S. media should match the NYT's reporting. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
