The U.S. military fires missiles worth more than $1 million to shoot down drones that cost Iran $20-50 thousand to mass produce.
That math favors Iran.
HE WILL DESTROY THE WORLD TO PREVENT THE REAL EPSTEIN FILES FROM BEING RELEASED. BUT WE’RE SUPPOSED TO BELIEVE HE IS “INNOCENT?!”
House MAGA Republicans abruptly yanked their own bill to gut the Endangered Species Act after it flopped in a procedural vote.
Even some GOP members said no to weakening protections for wolves, grizzlies & more.
Despite tRump-era GOP: Earth Day win!

“He was using the modeling company as a cover in part for the sex trafficking… They would send the youngest girls down to Epstein’s place in Palm Beach… When Epstein formed that company, he said to her, I want it to be set up just like Donald Trump’s modeling agency.”

“Epstein is the tip of the iceberg [of] wealthy men finding a way to get connected to young vulnerable women. In my opinion, this is happening through the fashion industry and photographers and agencies… DOJ [should investigate] Antoine Verglas.”

Katie Couric just called out CBS for their pathetic "both-sides" pivot under Trump pressure. Equating J6 with Dem views? Settling his bogus $16M lawsuit? It's not journalism—it's cowardice.
Trump isn't "one side." He's a threat to democracy. Stop the cop-out. Facts aren't optional

“We just want answers. There’s no transparency. There’s none. [They are trying] to clear all this up by interviewing the trafficker? That’s the solution? We are so post-truth… That would be truly horrific. If there are videos, I want to know.“

“If they’ll murder a U.S. citizen in broad daylight in front of dozens of people filming it — and still lie about it — imagine what they’re doing to immigrants when no one is watching. Imagine wtf is in those Epstein files.”

First slide of an Instagram carousel summarizing Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American, April 21, 2026. A curly-haired dog is pictured in a teal circle on the left. Text reads: “Today, Heather explains how, as Trump's approval ratings sink to historic lows, his administration is responding not by governing, but by weaponizing the DOJ to sow doubt about elections and courting his Christian nationalist base with carefully chosen biblical imagery tied directly to the January 6th insurrection.”

The orange felon just called Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson a “Low IQ person.”
Unlike the deranged idiotic racist thug who shits on himself, she is a supremely intelligent Harvard educated attorney who graduated magna cum laude.
#History “This pattern—expecting Republicans to behave wildly and cheat to grab power while expecting Democrats to behave according to the rules of normal times—has been going on now for years, and it is a dynamic that reflects the political patterns of the years before the Civil War.”😒

Spot on!
Tortoise Media has celebrated the one year takeover of the Observer by axing two photographers. They’d been with the paper for more than half a century. No notice, no warning, no pay off.
NEW: I found two "news" websites active on X and other platforms—Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News—that are in fact U.S. government-operated anti-Iranian military propaganda mills. Both appear tied to U.S. Central Command.

NEW: Flight data reveals that the LAPD's "Drone as First Responder" program—sold to the public as a public safety measure—is in fact being used to spy on anti-ICE/anti-Trump protests in Los Angeles.
theintercept.com/2026/04/20/l...
Drone flight data compiled and visualized by @lemonodor.bsky.social and shared with The Intercept shows how, for example, the LAPD launched 32 separate drone flights to surveil the March 28 No Kings protest in downtown LA.
The LAPD told me they only hit record when a crime happens.
It’s high time for a grown-up conversation which acknowledges that the drug laws — by funneling untold riches to violent criminals — are more harmful than the drugs themselves.
With its last contract expiring, activists say garage owners should spurn ICE to avoid becoming complicit in Trump’s deportation blitz.
A photo of a police officer holding his baton standing at the ready outside the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, overlaid with the headline, "LAPD Deployed Drones to Spy on No Kings Protest," and the DEK, "Flight records show that Los Angeles police dispatched drones 32 times over last month’s No Kings rally."
A heat map by John Wiseman shows LAPD drone flights concentrated above No Kings protests on March 28, 2026
The LAPD insists the “Drone as First Responder” program presents no threat to personal privacy or civil liberties. We'll let you be the judge of that. theintercept.com/2026/04/20/l...
Tim Apple's continuous fealty to Trump has paid off today with Trump's Truth Social post calling him an "incredible guy." Here's what Apple's employees thought of that in January.
Pleased to speak with @nickturse.bsky.social.
“In his second term, [Trump] now has some officials in his administration eager to do a ‘Sicario’ — making Mexico a battlefield in the new GWOT against the narcos.”
Cold-blooded murder. Everyone giving or carrying out these orders must be prosecuted, full stop. Trump may enjoy executive immunity, his accomplices do not: the depraved disregard for human life exhibited by those perpetrating these murders must not go unpunished.
