Why the Strait of Hormuz Is More Than an Energy Crisis Rising oil and gasoline prices have been the center of attention since the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. But that immediate effect tells only part of the story. Because oil and gas underpin product...

The disruption in the #StraitofHormuz doesn’t just raise oil prices—it exposes how fragile our entire global system really is. Nearly a 5th of the world’s energy flows through there, and when shaken, everything from shipping to inflation feels the shock news.gatech.edu/news/2026/04... #bigpicture

The Hungarian Election Shows That Even Strongmen Can Lose Many people in the country had trouble imagining that Viktor Orbán could be defeated. But a philosopher also warned that defeatism can abet authoritarianism.

Viktor Orbán, the longest-serving Prime Minister in the European Union, pioneered a system of legalized autocracy that became a model for aspiring strongmen all over the world, including Donald Trump. On Sunday, Orbán was voted out of office. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/Mbyufm

Transcript: Trump’s America Is Deeply Unwell, and It’s Time to Say So As Trump reveals his unfitness in stark new ways, a political theorist argues that our election of this man to the presidency twice should prompt deep introspection about what we’ve become.

"This is what happens when you have a malignant narcissist as the president of the United States. This man is simply not capable of thinking or feeling or conceiving of other people beyond himself." trib.al/a3aaSiG

US media needs to start calling Trump's shit out too! He's trying to control all of it except some independent news sources.

A parody president that was up all night posting crazy shit including a meme of himself as Jesus Christ. Here's a fixed one and I think much better.😆
Whatever’s coming will come soon enough with that orange guy.
Cheers to all!

I’m telling my grandkids that this is why Victor Orbán was so roundly kicked to the curb by the wise people of Hungary.

A reminder: The Strait of Hormuz was open before Trump launched his stupid, illegal war.

Blockading a blockade is the work of a pure stable genius like no one has ever seen before. Only Donald Trump could have thought of this.

It's like, "You think you can shoot at us? Well, we'll show you—we'll shoot ourselves!!"

We should all have tears in our eyes.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney:

“The days of our military sending 70 cents of every dollar to the United States are over."

The orange felon is a global pariah. Love it. 💙👊

The Dream Team failed. Total shock. We sent two of our most mediocre real estate developers and a fraud. Who could’ve guessed this outcome?

Subramanyam: If Melania Trump wants to clear her name, she should come testify before our committee under oath, because it's clear that that's what she was trying to do. Either that or promote her book.

CNN Anchor Hits Back at Trump After Late-Night Meltdown Jake Tapper responded to the president’s claim that his network was lying to the public.

Lebanon: ICRC outraged by deadly strikes in densely populated areas The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is outraged by the devastating death and destruction in densely populated areas across Lebanon today following intensified military operations.

Difficult to describe how unusual it is for @icrc.org to speak publicly like this.

"Heavy explosive weapons with wide-area effects struck densely populated urban areas, including the capital Beirut, without effective advance warnings."

So Congress is just gonna stay on vacation while all this happens, huh.

Regardless of probability, voters need to keep the pressure on our elected representatives to remove the criminal president from office. The homicidal sociopath & his lackeys must be held accountable for their actions.

Great discussion with @jenrubin.bsky.social and @gregsargent.bsky.social.

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office.

Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

Malcolm Nance posted this on X. I couldn't agree more.

DENOUNCE TRUMP NOW ‼️

@barackobama.bsky.social, @hillaryclinton.bsky.social (Bill is not on bsky), but also @kamalaharris.com and of course Joe Biden, who is also not on bsky.

When Iran is the party that starts calling on the world to denounce #WarCrimes imposed by the USA.... You don't need anything else to know that things are VERY bad and VERY dangerous.

Live right now!

Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people.

We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.

Official Statement from the House Democrats on the current state of affairs:

"it's time for House Republicans to put patriotic duty over party loyalty and join Democrats in stopping this madness."
