Same here! It was the first thing that came to mind, and when I didn’t see any comments about it I had to say it. Great minds, lol.

Formal proceedings assume that eventually people will be held accountable and that witnesses could be charged with perjury. Informal roundtables means they can ignore anything that doesn’t fit their narrative and just move on.

Nope. Reckoning day will come, whether they like it or not.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Who should be packing their bags because they’re the next to go?

Big win for coal companies. Big loss for the planet, renewable energy and the safer working conditions that coal workers would enjoy if they were employed at a place that wasn’t killing them.

I say this as someone whose family legacy includes MANY coal miners who died from black lung disease.

PHOTO ESSAY: AP photographer chronicles Chernobyl’s painful legacy of silence, sacrifice and danger KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Efrem Lukatsky, a Kyiv-based photographer for The Associated Press, was living in the city on April 26, 1986, when the explosion and fire struck the Chernobyl nuclear power plant,...

Amazing article that illustrates the harmful and deadly ramifications of hiding the truth and disregarding the lives that are impacted by it.

“Upon the request of” and “until such time as their leaders and representatives”? As opposed to “open the f**king strait” or they’ll be hell to pay. Something tells me Trump didn’t write this statement. Could ppl in the admin finally be getting sick of his rants blowing up any chance to negotiate?

Trump was handed a way to end this illegal war without too much egg on his face and in typical Trump fashion he squandered it. Iran opened the strait and instead of allowing that to move forward, he said “but not for you.” Trump breaks everything he touches, and we all pay for his stupidity.

Do better BBC. It’s hardly “breaking” news to say Trump and those around him are grifters. It’s not like they try to hide it. The evidence is there for all to see. Always has been.

There’s nothing MAGA fears more than a strong, opinionated woman who won’t back off just because she’s told too. And in the case of AOC, she’s also always on point.

They can’t even do fake women’s empowerment right. Yet MAGA women dutifully support the misogyny. The regime’s female cheer leaders should try manifesting some dignity and self worth for a change…for themselves and those they constantly “other.”

SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE Several Haskell men who had been exposed to influenza went to Camp Funston, in central Kansas. Days later, on March 4, the first soldier known to have influenza reported ill. The huge Army base was training men for combat in World War I, and within two weeks 1,100 soldiers were admitted to the hospital, with thousands more sick in barracks. Thirty-eight died. Then, infected soldiers likely carried influenza from Funston to other Army camps in the States-24 of 36 large camps had outbreaks-sickening tens of thousands, before carrying the disease overseas.

Is Hegseth trying to recreate the influenza pandemic of 1918? Is the US military not bringing enough death and destruction to the world that it needs to be transformed into a super spreader of disease?

This is why it’s so important to vote in EVERY election for EVERY position on the ballot. The courts are supposed to be politically neutral, but imagine what this ruling might have been if PA’s appellate court looked more like the current SCOTUS!

Vote like your life depends on it, because it does.

And yet…Uyghurs, Yazidi, Darfur, Tutsi, Cambodians, Palestinians…on and on. All because evil people desire money and power and don’t care what they have to do, or who they have to hurt, to get it. We say “never again” but it keeps happening because too many choose nationalism over humanity.

Texas can require public schools to display Ten Commandments in classrooms, US appeals court rules A federal appeals court rules that Texas can require the Ten Commandments to be displayed in public school classrooms, allowing posters of the religious doctrine to go up throughout the state.

Trump, his cabinet & GOP reps live streaming scripture readings from the Bible. Courts ruling that states can force PUBLIC schools to display the 10 commandments. While hate and cruelty is committed worldwide, and the separation of church & state is ignored. WTAF?

After saying earlier today that the “bombardment” will resume if a deal isn’t made, which will be delayed indefinitely as long as the blockade remains in effect. Such genius.

The entire world needs to ramp up the pressure campaign on this ridiculous regime. Words aren’t enough.

Nope. There are no “common sense guardrails” that would justify or legitimize Miller’s private mercenaries. Abolish ICE and close detention warehouses. Increase and streamline the path to citizenship, including for those already here.

Stop trying to put lipstick on a pig.

Stealing valor would, honestly, sum up Trump’s life perfectly.

How many times does Trump have to stab Stefanik in the back before she stops being his loyal puppet? These ppl have no self respect, no morals and no loyalty to average Americans or the constitution. Time to rid ourselves of them.

Nothing says “we’re serious about negotiating” like sending two inexperienced “diplomats” who only have their own interests at heart to lead talks with a country that has said it won’t negotiate with them. It’s either performative or Witkoff and Kushner are the designated scapegoats…or both.

Okay, but will this affect how MAGA votes? No matter how disgusted they may be by what Trump does or says, most would still vote for him again. They fully support a party that accepts, even parodies, Trump’s self-aggrandizing claims and harmful policies. Not relevant if it doesn’t impact voting.

Instead of praising Orban, let’s take a page from the Hungarian people and match the voter turnout they just experienced. The GOP is implementing Orban’s playbook in the US. Let’s make sure they fail here as dramatically as he failed there, and let’s do it now instead of waiting 16 years.

Opinion | What Clarence Thomas doesn’t understand about democracy Paul Waldman: The Supreme Court justice’s insistence that rights come from God, not government, couldn’t be more wrong.

“Americans know that when their rights are being trampled on, it is not God who will come to their rescue. Only government can do that — and it only does so when we as citizens demand it and have the power to ensure it.”

Well, if Hannity still believes in heaven and hell, I have some advice for him regarding life after death…pack light clothes and some aloe.

And the market responded to lies and manipulation again, and all the wrong people got richer. Meanwhile, Iranians and Lebanese are killed, the world economy suffers and the US spends tax dollars on war instead of healthcare and food assistance. And Congress does…nothing.

NY POST “Setting them strait” “Iran surrenders Hormuz, and Trump says peace deal close”

Front page of the NY Post today. Old news, but not even true when they printed it. Iran has had the upper hand since the US and Israel started this illegal war and no amount of spin can hide it. MSM is so corrupted.

LMFAO, even tho it really isn’t funny. Thank you. Needed that.

77 mil people weren’t angry enough. They voted for someone who CAMPAIGNED on lowering taxes for the wealthy & large corporations, increasing tariffs, & cutting funds for healthcare, social services & education. Being gullible enough to believe that would benefit the working class isn’t an excuse.

Wouldn’t it be great if pants really went on fire when someone lies.

Too stupid, too inexperienced, too racist, too much of a sycophant, too misogynistic, too corrupt. And that applies to so many involved with Trump and his regime that I won’t bother naming anyone.

BY SAMY MAGDY AND SAM METZ Updated April 18, 2026 6:51 AM CAIRO (AP) - The dueling blockades in the Strait of Hormuz lurched into uncharted waters on Saturday as the United States pressed ahead with its campaign to choke off Iranian ports and Iran reversed an initial move to reopen the waterway.

Trump tries to bully Iran and they close the strait again. No surprise there. He keeps trying to get the upper hand and Iran slaps it down. In the meantime, the stock market responds to every truth social post as if it’s gospel, and ppl with inside info make tons of $. Déjà vu, all over again.
