Sen. Jack Reed to Warsh as he dodges questions about divesting his assets: "Excuse me. I must commend you on the way you can circularly go around questions and not answer them. It's a skill. Unfortunately it's not a good skill for the chairman of the Fed."
Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them.

"This is an important thing to think about."
Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.
Props to the WSJ, they managed to pack almost every Trump decision-making pathology into a single story. It’s all here:
1) Short attention span
2) Impulsive behavior
3) Knowledge deficits
4) Gambling for resurrection
5) Belief in the madman theory

a very confused Trump: "Look at Justice Ginsburg. She was not exactly a young woman. The election was taken. They had a Democrat who could've appointed a liberal justice. About two minutes after the election, she went out." (Ginsburg died in September 2020, when Trump was president.)

Orbán's electoral crushing is a far greater achievement than most people outside Hungary realise.
He systemically consolidated power for 16 years, fixed the electoral map, abused govt power for political purposes & censored media.
The hurdles that Hungarians overcame for this moment were immense.
First Canada
Then Australia
Then South Korea
Now Hungary
Next — America
Fascism is failing - democracy is winning
Seven countries now generate 100% of their electricity from renewable sources, proving the transition is not theoretical but already operational. The barrier is no longer technology, but political will, investment priorities, and the courage to move faster.

Warner: "How blockading the strait gets it open suddenly -- I don't get that logic"
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — Hungary's opposition leader Peter Magyar says Prime Minister Viktor Orbán conceded his election loss in a phone call.
“You can’t possibly make the Cybertruck any uglier.”
“Wanna bet?”
A lot of you reached out asking if Brian Morales made it back yet he hasn’t. The 25-year-old Denver-born U.S. citizen is still stuck in Mexico. DHS is disputing his account, claiming their records show he isn’t a citizen he absolutely is. Several groups are actively fighting for his return.

Current status of the Strait of Hormuz dispute
Who would’ve guessed? An administration filled with grossly incompetent people, led by the stupidest president to ever occupy the Oval Office, failed to end the illegal war they started.
April 12, 2026.
Chaska MN residents have been protesting every weekend for over a year now.
We have a president who took the nation into a war for reasons he cannot fully articulate, without a strategy for how to respond if Iran did the expected and closed the Strait of Hormuz, and without an exit strategy if Iran doesn’t surrender.
Reminder that Congress can step up and stop this.
The question the entire world is asking. 😳👇
Kaine: "You don't sucker punch somebody in a bar and then blame your buddies when they don't join the fight with you. If the president wanted the support of allies, he should've respected them instead of putting tariffs on their economies and trash talking them."
There is now no dispute, that this President is the worst President in the history of America.
has just occurred to me that chicago pope is still a us citizen and would technically be eligible to be president
Trump has backed himself into a corner where his only options are a bloody, unnecessary war or a humiliating retreat. He didn’t inherit this mess; he built it with his own hands.
The more I think about the 70,000 ICE incarcerated without due process the more I think we are underreacting. People are literally trapped inside for profit prisons. We need to do something.
On 9 April 1989, Soviet forces murdered Georgian independence protesters in Tbilisi. Two years later, the USSR collapsed. Today, as for the last 18 months, protesters in Tbilisi are again standing up against authoritarian repression and against domination by Moscow.

From a post:
“Told my wife to have dinner ready by 6 or I'll obliterate her entire civilization.
So anyway, she now charges me a fee to use the bathroom that used to be free, and I didn't get any dinner, but I'm pretty sure I won that exchange.”
There’s no such thing as “birthright citizenship for illegal aliens.”
The U.S. Constitution is abundantly clear that if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen. Trying to take away citizenship from Americans is not only extreme, but also unconstitutional.
