He might as well answer in Russian.

Why is it only normal people see how fucked up Trump is? Seriously. Most of the world thinks he’s insane.

DO NOT STOP TALKING ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES

The corruption of the Supreme Court is America’s biggest failure as a country

I've been busy at this conference this morning -- has John Roberts resigned from the Supreme Court yet?

RELEASE THE REMAINING EPSTEIN FILES, NO WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN. YES, WE KNOW THERE ARE 3 MILLION MORE FILES.

JUSTICE TO ALL VICTIMS INJUSTICE FOR AMERICA.

REMOVE THIS COMPLETE ADMINISTRATION FOR TREASON UNDER ARTICLE II SECTION 4.

RULES ARE THERE FOR A REASON‼️

Except EPSTEIN news will never die down.

Ex-model, arrested by Aventura police and deported, causes White House stir A Brazilian brought to the U.S. on an Epstein plane at age 16 lashes out at the Trumps, saying she was betrayed by her friend Melania.

Amanda Ungaro was 16 when she was flown to the US on an Epstein plane. She later became close to the Trumps

On Apr. 8, she went on X to threaten legal action vs Melania “and your pedophile husband”

On Apr. 9, Melania made that odd public statement about Epstein

Trump actually said that PUTIN explained NATO to him...And that he has a very good relationship with Putin.

Then Trump called NATO a "paper tiger."

It's always been a concern that Trump values Putin's opinion, but even more so now when Putin is aiding Iran against the U.S.

Before Putin explained NATO to Trump, he did not know the difference between NATO and NASCAR!

The grift never ends. Most corrupt regime in history

A headline reads: "Times Exclusive: The Inside Story of 5 Days That Remade the Supreme Court. Secret memos obtained by The New York Times illuminate the origins of the court’s now-routine 'shadow docket' rulings on presidential power."

Confidential memos by Supreme Court justices, obtained by The New York Times, show how they decided to bypass time-tested procedures and create the modern “shadow docket,” a rushed and secretive new way of doing business. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

INCREDIBLE reporting from the NYT’s @jodikantor.bsky.social and @adamliptak.bsky.social on the inner workings of the Supreme Court in the moment the justices unleashed the shadow docket.

ICE went on a hiring spree. Sterling credentials were not required, AP investigation finds Some new U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers started working before passing background checks and had problems in their past.

"...evidence is mounting that applicants with questionable histories were either not fully vetted before they were brought on or were hired in spite of their past..."

As suspected, ICE is attracting garbage hires.

Some excellent reporting here from the @apnews.com.

Two bankruptcies, six jobs before ICE hired him Among the new hires is Carmine Gurliacci, 46, who resigned as a police officer in Richmond Hill, Georgia, to join ICE in Atlanta in December, according to a resignation letter obtained by AP. He filed for bankruptcy in 2022, saying he had no income and had been unemployed for two years after moving from New York to Georgia, court filings show. He said he was living with a friend and doing chores in exchange for housing, listing tens of thousands of dollars of unpaid loans, bills, child support and other debts. He also had filed for bankruptcy in 2013 in New York, when he listed $95,000 in liabilities, records show.

Really good reporting from AP. They took 40 people who had listed their new ICE job on LinkedIn, then looked for red flags.
