FBI began investigating @nytimes.com reporter Elizabeth Williamson after she wrote about Patel using bureau personnel to provide his girlfriend with security and transportation. DOJ officials were concerned it was retaliation and found no legal basis to proceed. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/22/u...
Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.
Mijn Trouw-essay over de vrijage van orthodox-gereformeerden met het militant-rechtse kamp. 'Verlies is het sleutelwoord. Maar waarom zou je het als verlies ervaren als de ander dezelfde rechten heeft als jij?'

-External support for democracy matters
-Autocracy is reversible
Bittere nederlaag voor VVD in Eerste Kamer.
Asielwet sneuvelt door ex partner Yezilgöz PVV
Tuapse continues to burn today 🔥
Day 1519 of my 3 day war. When smoke from the Tuapse refinery turns white, your Prez will be appointed pope.
I remain a master strategist.
THE NUCLEAR CODES
A troubling claim is now circulating from former CIA analyst Larry C. Johnson, who stated that during a recent White House discussion, President Donald Trump considered using nuclear codes against Iran—and that General Dan Caine intervened & said “no.”
Politieke chaos in Roemenië, mogelijk komen er nieuwe verkiezingen. Instabiliteit dreigt en extreem-rechts kan profiteren. En dat allemaal omdat de huidige premier Bolojan voortvarend de corruptie aanpakt. Te voortvarend volgens de kaviaar-socialisten van de PSD.
A clarification: Romania’s Social Democrats are not authentic left social democrats. They are, as they are often described in Romania, “caviar socialists,” interested only in their own enrichment.
Social Democrats in Romania are withdrawing from the pro-EU governing coalition, pushing the country into political instability, because they are unhappy that PM Ilie Bolojan is about to implement measures aimed at reducing govt. corruption and public waste. 🧵
😬 THAT'S NOT GOOD – The Air Force VIP jet (SAM236 – tail: 99-0004) departs Pakistan after only a few hours on the ground 👀
1/2 "When the UGVs reached the school building, the vehicle with rockets opened fire, forcing the Russian troops away from the windows. Two other robots then drove nearby or into the building and detonated, setting off the stored ammunition." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/20/w...
Ukrainian forces once again struck the Tuapse refinery, Krasnodar region, in Russia. The entire complex is on fire..
Exclusive: Sweden has intelligence indicating Russia's systematically manipulating data to fool Ukraine’s western allies into believing its economy has withstood the strain of its war spending & western sanctions, Thomas Nilsson, head of Sweden Military Intelligence, told me & @maxseddon.bsky.social
- Het ministerie van Justitie verwijdert de carrière-aanklager in Miami die het onderzoek naar John Brennan leidde, nadat zij zich verzette tegen druk om snel aanklachten in te dienen tegen de voormalige CIA-directeur en Trump-criticus.
De in 🇷🇺 geboren Dmytro Vasyltsjenkov, die in Kyiv 6 mensen doodschoot, bleek jarenlang antisemitische en pro-Hitler content te verspreiden en steun te uiten voor de Russ. ultranationalist en MH17-dader Girkin, blijkt uit onderzoek van Oekr. OSINT'ers.

US Representative Melanie Stansbury exposes the massive Epstein coverup on MS Now.

Trump - "I made Iran open the Strait so now NATO countries are calling me if i need help to coordinate. I told them i need no help"
Spain - "That's a lie. We never called him to coordinate with US military at Strait of Hormuz or in fact, anywhere. He's still living in delusion." #cdnpoli
⚡️US renews Russian oil sanctions waiver for 1 month, days after signaling it would not do so.
The U.S. Treasury Department issued a temporary license on April 17 renewing a sanctions waiver that allows countries to purchase Russian oil stranded at sea.
Well this is fun
Trump wraps up his press gaggle on Air Force One by threatening that if Iran doesn't capitulate to his demands, then "unfortunately we'll have to start dropping bombs again"
The Trump administration has rewarded Russian terrorism by quietly removing sanctions on Russian oil at the end of Friday work hours today, just one day after Russian ballistic missile strikes on Ukraine killed at least 18 civilians including a child and injured over 100.
⚡️🚨 BREAKING: President Zelenskyy said intelligence indicates roads are being built along the Belarusian border toward Ukrainian territory, while artillery positions are also being set up.
This may signal another attempt by Russia to draw Belarus more directly into the war.
Trump: "The Failing New York Times, FAKE NEWS CNN, and others, just don’t know what to do. They are desperately looking for a reason to criticize President Donald J. Trump on the Iran situation, but just can’t find it. Why don’t they just say, at the right time, JOB WELL DONE, MR. PRESIDENT, and start to gain back their credibility???"
Trump: "The Failing NYT, FAKE NEWS CNN, & others, just don’t know what to do. They are desperately looking for a reason to criticize President Donald Trump on the Iran situation, but just can’t find it. Why don’t they just say, JOB WELL DONE, MR. PRESIDENT, & start to gain back their credibility???"
Donald Trump doesn't seem very interested in the multinational mission that Macron and Starmer just announced in Paris...
Geweldig @tinkebell.bsky.social !!
Pope Leo XIV: Jesus told us, blessed are the peacemakers. But woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic, or political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.
Zijn er überhaupt nog juristen binnen de VVD?
