EU agrees to unblock €90bn loan for Ukraine after Hungary lifts veto #Ukraine

The entitlement is off the charts.

Trump admin agrees to pay $1.25M to 2016 Trump adviser over surveillance DOJ OK'd the settlement with Carter Page, but he could still press claims against ex-officials.

Let's be very clear about what's going here: this is Trump using contrived and fictional litigation to pay off his retainers out of the US Treasury for alleged wrongs they suffered. It's theft. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Serves him right TBH except that his replacement will be worse.

Priceless post from the official White House social media

What Was the 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal?

"Critics say that Mr. Trump could have avoided a costly war had he left the 2015 agreement in place. They also warn that Mr. Trump may wind up accepting terms little better than the ones Mr. Obama secured more than a decade ago."

The Art of the Deal.

Again, a key reason why flagrantly violating the UN Charter & the NATO treaty by threatening 🇨🇦 & 🇬🇱/🇩🇰 with illegal conquest & by illegally starting a war with 🇮🇷 is bad & should end any presidency is that it becomes much harder to oppose flagrantly illegal threats & wars against 🇺🇦 & 🇹🇼 by 🇷🇺& 🇨🇳

The Trump administration, from top to bottom, is filled with spiteful malicious bullies who insist that they're innocent aggrieved victims.

He schemed and schemed and worked hard to keep it all secret.

Are the women back there somewhere? Yes, I think I see them.

People who were openly rooting for a president-for-life a year ago mad about gerrymandering sounds like you’re just losers who don’t like losing

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

In big win for Democrats, voters approve Virginia redistricting plan, moving battle to court Virginia is now the second Democratic-controlled state to approve a redistricting plan in response to President Donald Trump’s unprecedented mid-decade gerrymanders in other states.

🚨BREAKING: Voters in Virginia have greenlit a plan that could see Democrats gain up to four more seats in Congress during the 2026 midterm elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Yeah that will solve all of our problems…..

Great, we can look forward to Republicans melting down when they lose the lead, because they just can’t grasp the concept of votes from non-equally-populous counties coming in at different times.

Trump Is Said to Be in Talks to Send Afghans Who Aided U.S. Forces to Congo

Absolutely disgraceful. These are people who stood with us, fought alongside us, and trusted our word. Turning our backs on them now is a moral failure, not to mention a dangerous signal to anyone who might consider coming to our aid in the future.

Your honor, I'd like to admit exhibit D into evidence

Why are they all so innumerate? Taking half as many days off obviously doesn’t mean you were in the office twice as many days.

And it is only going to work if people stop wearing sweatpants to the airport.

He waited til Spring though.

It never averaged <$2, in any state, but they don’t call out that lie.

Speaker Johnson's beginning of the end Trump's elfish toady is quickly losing control of the House.

New in PN: Speaker Johnson's beginning of the end

"Johnson has such a small majority he can’t afford to alienate anybody, & he has nonetheless managed to alienate everybody. The coming months will be brutal for him & are likely to end w/his speakership destroyed in a humiliating, titanic blue wave"

It’s like Sean Hannity claiming he no longer supports AOC

A fitting tribute to an ass-kisser.

We can’t trust Palantir with our NHS data Is this really the company we should be entrusting with our health service’s digital architecture?

"Palantir is not just a problem of profiteering from our national healthcare system— it's a fundamental threat to the democratic control of our public infrastructure + the privacy of every citizen. By giving our taxes to this company, we are aiding their operations everywhere."

If this isn’t insanity I don’t know what is.

“It’s amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”

- Harry Truman

As Trump proves often, the reverse of this is also true.

It’s amazing how much you can fuck things up when the only thing you care about is getting the credit.

Y’all don’t get to give this monster a pass by saying he’s
- possessed by Satan
- demented
-the anti christ

HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN an extreme malignant narcissist if you had only LOOKED AT FACTS of his rotten life
Oh and he’s a convicted criminal and accused child rapist
