Vance, Rubio, Hegseth and Caine attended the meeting. DNI Tulsi Gabbard was not included, per person familiar.-The Guardian

If the nickname I had acquired was “taco”, I would simply not set deadlines for tuesdays

WWI Combat: 53,402 deaths
WWI Flu: 45,000 deaths

Pete Hegseth: “Let’s make the flu a threat again!”

Apparently, “readiness” now means making our troops as vulnerable as they were in 1918. Bold move.

What is the "Mamdani Act"? GOP bill would ban socialists, Marxists from US Chip Roy's "Mamdani Act" would make socialists, Marxists and Islamists deportable and inadmissible to the United States.

This is even dumber than it is unconstitutional, and it is very unconstitutional. www.newsweek.com/what-is-the-...

Fabrizio will show him a poll of MAGA true believers with 99.99% support.

ooooooooooof. chances he ever sees these numbers or even gets wind?

"Few approve of how Donald Trump is handling the cost of living" – Overall: 33-67 – Immigration: 40-59 – Iran: 32-67 – Economy: 30-70 – Cost of living: 23(!)-76 "The nationwide poll was conducted April 16-20, 2026 using the AmeriSpeak® Panel, the probability-based panel of NORC at the University of Chicago. Online and telephone interviews using landlines and cell phones were conducted with 2,596 adults. The overall margin of sampling error is +/- 3.4 percentage points."

There's no other way to say it: This AP-NORC poll is atrocious for Trump.

– Overall: 33-67
– Immigration: 40-59
– Iran: 32-67
– Economy: 30-70
– Cost of living: 23(!)-76

37% of Republicans disapprove of his handling of the economy, 47% disapprove on cost of living.

Trump's approval on economy falls in AP-NORC poll, showing new warning signs for president A new AP-NORC poll finds that President Donald Trump’s approval rating on the economy has slumped over the past month as the Iran war drives prices higher.

New AP/NORC poll: "President Donald Trump’s approval rating on the economy has slumped over the past month as the Iran war drives prices higher...with even Republicans showing less faith in his leadership."

Overall approval: 33% (-5 from March)

Approval on the economy: 30% (-8% from March)

I’m glad that the Mad King isn’t going to commit war crimes right now, while once again it is obvious this bumbling fool has no idea what he’s doing.

Trump learning how wars work one mistake at a time.

The ticking clock on the Strait of Hormuz staying closed works far more against the US and its allies than it does against Iran. But there's every chance Trump just doesn't know that.

lol imagine being on a submarine right now

No date or time, Trump extends ceasefire

Lawsuit: Blaze’s Crackpot Reporting Prompted a Wild, Unnecessary FBI Raid Quickly debunked reporting based on “gait analysis” was enough to get the feds to descend with a helicopter on a falsely accused J6 pipe-bomber’s home.

Yeah, not good…

Kash Patel's FBI launched an unnecessary raid on the home of a former Capitol Police officer, based on Jan. 6 conspiracy theories from right-wing media outlet The Blaze.

Host: The U.S. military has significantly depleted its stockpile of missiles during the war with Iran. According to experts, this reduction is so severe it has created a near-term risk of the U.S. running out of ammunition should a future conflict arise in the next few years.

The United States Department of Justice April 21, 2026 Acting AG Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel to Hold Press Conference ****** MEDIA ADVISORY ****** FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY WASHINGTON -- This evening, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and FBI Director Kash Patel will hold a press conference at Main Justice. WHEN: Tuesday, April 21 at 5:30 PM ET WHERE: U.S. Department of Justice 7th Floor Briefing Room 950 Pennsylvania Ave NW Washington, D.C. 20530 A livestream will be available at justice.gov/live

NEW: Blanche / Patel presser at 5:30p today.

What fresh hell will this dog & pony show unleash?

Iran will skip Wednesday’s talks in Islamabad, citing U.S. failures to uphold commitments. Tehran says a Pakistan-brokered ceasefire plan was undermined by weak enforcement and ongoing maritime pressure.

I enlisted in 1988, during Reagan's last year in office, and we had to get the flu vaccine. Along with all the others.

Hegseth knows REAL warfighters don't get the flu anyway | Opinion Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has officially done away with the U.S. military's WOKE flu vaccine mandate, and I applaud that decision.

It’s a proud day for American toughness! Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has officially done away with the U.S. military's WOKE flu vaccine mandate, and I applaud that decision from the bed I currently can’t get out of due to a high fever.

Why is a Russian stooge interviewing him? Also too, we can't build a high speed railroad from LA to Vegas, so I don't expect to see this anytime soon. And would someone please explain to him what a sonic boom is, and why Concorde could only go above Mach 1 after it was over the Atlantic?

Trump is so illiterate that he had to pre-record his weird af Bible reading and apparently the government will be reading fork the Bible all week on public television

Two things to unpack here:
1) Trump is so illiterate that they had to pre-record him reading the Bible.
2) The Government is going to read the Bible on public tv all week while for weeks they’ve been howling about how Iran is run by religious extremists.

They've got nothing without whataboutism.
