Frustration grows as Iran's wartime internet shutdown breaks grim record Tehran, Iran – Iran’s state-imposed near-total internet shutdown is now the longest nationwide blackout on record in any country, according to a global monitor. Connectivity to the global internet has been at around one percent of pre-war levels since shortly after the United States and Israel launched their war on Iran on February 28, according to NetBlocks.

It added that while Myanmar, Sudan,...

White House app pushes positive news as Trump faces challenges - The Washington Post The new mobile app offers Americans “a direct line to the White House,” delivering pro-Trump news, curated updates and a rose-tinted view of the president.

Trump’s White House app tops news downloads amid #shutdown, rising gas prices, and Iran military operations #Trump #news

White House App Shows Trump is 'Winning' Despite War, Shutdown, and Bad Polls President Donald Trump is facing a rocky start to April 2026, with soaring gas prices, a partial government shutdown, and military operations in Iran dominating headlines. Yet on the White House's newly launched mobile app, the message is simple: Trump is winning. The app, downloaded by more than 700,000 Americans in its first week, offers users a curated view of his presidency, highlighting triumphs while largely omitting setbacks. The news came after the app was released last week, promising to provide citizens 'a direct line to the White House' with real-time updates and live streams. Push notifications alerted users to the Artemis II space launch and later to Trump's nationally televised address on Iran. Headlines such as 'AMERICA IS BACK' and 'historic turnaround on immigration' dominate the app, presenting a carefully curated image of success. How the White House App Frames Trump's Presidency According to The Washington Post, the app's interface encourages interaction. Users are prompted to enable notifications, sign up for email updates, and even 'text President Trump' through a pre-written message declaring him the 'Greatest President Ever!' Content includes streams from Trump's social media, official White House releases, and even a tip line for Immigration and Customs Enforcement...

It's not hard to spot the MAGA lawmakers at Disney World, they're the ones giggling helplessly at the 'Hall of Presidents' show
#Trump #Shutdown

Another MAGA lawmaker dragged over Disney World visit amid shutdown chaos Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL) was widely mocked Saturday after becoming the latest lawmaker to be seen visiting Walt Disney World while chaos continues to erupt at airports nationwide amid the ongoing partial government shutdown. Last week, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was ridiculed for being spotted “carrying a bubble wand” and having a “grand ol’ time” at Walt Disney World. His trip amid the partial government shutdown – which continues to cause turmoil at airports across the country – was reported on by TMZ. In an apparent effort to get ahead of TMZ’s reporting, Scott revealed that he was visiting Walt Disney World on Saturday, calling out TMZ by name. “Hey TMZ. Yes, I’m at Disney with my grandkids,” Scott wrote in a social media post on X. “Should we be in DC? Yes! But I don't get to make that decision.” Despite being the one to reveal himself to have visited Walt Disney World, Scott was widely mocked regardless. “So Sen. Rick Scott’s attempt to get ahead of TMZ is just to acknowledge he’s doing nothing about the crisis and absolve himself of any blame?” asked media critic Jamesetta Williams in a social media post on X. “These people really...

Last year, in fact, #US economic growth decelerated under #Trump to a still-respectable 2.1%, partly because the 43-day federal government #shutdown slashed growth from October through December.
