Trump bragged he graduated top of his class at Wharton… There were 366 students. He finished… wait for it… 364th. 😂

The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has released a response to JD Vance's comments about Pope Leo XIV: 'For over a thousand years, the Catholic Church has taught just war theory and it is that long tradition the Holy Father carefully references in his comments on war. A constant tenet of that thousand-year tradition is a nation can only legitimately take up the sword ‘in self-defense, once all peace efforts have failed’ That is, to be a just war it must be a defense against another who actively wages war, which is what the Holy Father actually said: ‘He does not listen to the prayers of those who wage war. When Pope Leo XIV speaks as supreme pastor of the universal Church, he is not merely offering opinions on theology, he is preaching the Gospel and exercising his ministry as the Vicar of Christ. The consistent teaching of the Church is insistent that all people of good will must pray and work toward lasting peace while avoiding the evils and injustices that accompany all wars'

Iran’s new national security chief Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr's views "were so extreme that one of his subordinates—Qassem Soleimani, the notorious Quds Force leader later killed by the U.S.—temporarily quit in protest."

The Trump Administration tried to kill this lawsuit with a backroom sweetheart deal. Thankfully, state AGs kept the fight going.

NASA wasn’t “closed” before Trump. The US doesn’t pay NATO anywhere close to “trillions of dollars” or “hundreds of billions of dollars a year.” Trump hasn’t built anywhere close to “over 1,000 miles of wall.” Trump hasn’t “ended eight wars.” It’s not true that “nobody” else has ended a war. Trump didn’t achieve “no tax on Social Security.” Ruth Bader Ginsburg died weeks before a presidential election, not right after one. Senator Thom Tillis is still a senator.   And more. Quick fact check of some of Trump’s many false claims on Fox this morning: cnn.com/2026/04/15/pol…

The United States is so toxic on the world stage right now that it can’t fill hotels or sell World Cup tickets. Let that land. FIFA projected $30.5 billion in economic impact from millions of international visitors. That demand never showed up. Hotels in Atlanta, Dallas, Miami, Philadelphia and San Francisco have slashed match-day rates by a third from their peak. FIFA has cancelled tens of thousands of reserved rooms across all 16 host cities. Some hotels report cancellation rates above 95%. The reasons aren’t hard to find. Anti-American sentiment. Fear of border crossings. The Iran war driving up oil prices and airfares. And tickets priced into the stratosphere, with finals seats hitting $10,990 a pop. Industry executives are now openly blaming the Trump administration for the shortfall. Tourism economists say the Iran war made an already bad sentiment problem worse. Empty stadiums are now a real possibility. It happened at the Club World Cup last summer. It could happen again, on American soil, at the biggest sporting event on the planet. The White House says this will be “the greatest World Cup ever.” The market disagrees. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

JUST IN: John Eastman, the conservative attorney who helped devise President Trump's last ditch strategy to overturn the 2020 presidential election, has officially been disbarred, per the California Supreme Court.:

However dumb you think the process for destroying USAID was, it was dumber. This is from Nicholas Enrich's new book Into the Wood Chipper, describing a meeting with Trump-appointed USAID leadership *after* they had largely gutted the agency

Look, y'all... this is eight minutes. I know that's far stretching the bounds of social media attention. But you should watch @AmbassadorRice completely dismantle Trump's foreign policy. It's comprehensive. It's precise. It's a wake-up call for those who need it.

CNN Diplomatic Editor Nic Robertson confirms the Trump administration's total diplomatic collapse. They are now relying on Pakistan's Field Marshal Asim Munir to fly to Tehran and act as a desperate middleman to beg Iran for peace. Washington has completely lost control.

Stanford just tested whether LexisNexis and Thomson Reuters’ AI legal research tools are really “hallucination-free,” as they claim. Spoiler: not even close. Here’s what the study found.

Let me get this straight. Musk was paid $5 billion through the DOGE endeavor and the only thing DOGE did was dismantle the entities that were investigating him for fraud. Wow

Democrats have likely ousted the Republican mayor of Whittier, a majority-Latino California city of nearly 90,000 (within Los Angeles County), as well as two GOP city councilors.

Leavitt: I think the allegations against former representative Swallwell are disgusting. I hope the journalists in this room will do their job to ask Democrats in power how they knew about such despicable behavior for so long but never said or did anything about it
