For anyone who has never met the Superb Lyrebird of Australia. David Attenborough says it displays one of the most sophisticated voice skills within the animal kingdom—"the most elaborate, the most complex, and the most beautiful." The chainsaw always brings tears to my eyes.

The Trump administration is lying again. They’re already drilling and moving forward on Trump’s giant gold “Independence Arch” before Congress even approved it, just like they tore down the East Wing for Trump’s gilded ballroom project. That’s the MO: do it first, lie, deflect. Rep Huffman showed up at the site and there was already heavy machinery and active drilling underway near Arlington. A 250-foot gold arch for a president who treats taxpayer money like his personal renovation budget.

Iranian airstrikes have damaged or destroyed at least 228 structures across bases or sites used by the U.S. military since the war began, hitting hangars, barracks, fuel depots, aircraft, and key radar, communications and air defense equipment, according to a Post analysis of satellite imagery. The amount of destruction is far larger than what has been acknowledged by the U.S. government or previously reported. For this examination, The Post reviewed more than 100 high-resolution Iranian-released satellite images. The Post verified the authenticity of 109 of those images by comparing them with lower-resolution imagery from the European Union’s satellite system, Copernicus, as well as high-resolution images from Planet, a major U.S. commercial provider, when available. A military spokesperson disputed the characterization of base damage by experts as extensive or evidence of failures, saying assessments of destruction are complex and can be misleading in some cases, but declined to provide specifics.

Reuters got DOJ's own records. 4,000 law enforcement jobs cut. National Security Division down 38 percent. Civil rights division down more than half. Drug prosecutions at a 20-year low. 7,000 positions unfilled. A former DOJ employee said they have no idea who handles a major espionage case right now. This is the tough-on-crime record. It's in their own budget documents.

DoJ's national security division has lost nearly 38% of its staff, internal records show, leading to “unprecedented personnel constraints” in the unit that handles cases involving espionage and the export of sensitive military ​technology. reuters.com/world/trumps-d…

Joe Biden
Joe Biden@JoeBiden·
Over 4,000 young Americans are alive today who might not be — because of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline we built together. The grief of losing a child is something that no parent should ever have to know. We launched 988 in 2022. We invested in it. We fought for it. And now the data is in: an 11% drop in youth suicide. Thousands of kids who picked up the phone instead of giving up. In my view, that’s what government is supposed to do.
Reuters@Reuters

Thousands fewer young Americans than expected took their own lives during the first two-and-a-half years following the launch of a national ‘988’ suicide-prevention hotline in the US, according to a Harvard-based study reut.rs/4sSamT5

Americans are raised from birth on a simple gospel: everyone wants to live here. The greatest country. The dream. Come one, come all. Except they don’t. No European is packing their bags for a country where a burst appendix can take your house. Where you can lose everything you’ve ever worked for because your pancreas had a bad Tuesday. The United States spends more on F-35s and aircraft carriers than the next ten countries combined. It has not won a war since 1945. It has, however, won the GDP numbers, which are genuinely extraordinary, and which Americans will mention within four seconds of any conversation about healthcare, housing, or the fact that 530,000 of their fellow citizens go bankrupt every year for getting ill. Sixteen other countries solved this. But sure. The jets look fantastic. Gandalv / @Microinteracti1

Not only did Trump's ballroom contractor get a secret no-bid contract to repair two ornamental fountains in Lafayette Park, they're getting paid $17.4 million of taxpayer money to do it. The Biden administration had estimated the repairs would only cost $3.3 million.

Trump’s own words last week: “We can’t take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all these individual things.” This week, he says he’s ready to bail out the United Arab Emirates. The man who ran on America First is telling American families they’re on their own while offering a financial lifeline to a wealthy Gulf state whose sovereign wealth fund has poured billions into his family’s businesses. Can’t afford day care. Can’t afford healthcare. Can’t afford to help families keep the heat on. Can afford a bailout for the UAE. Tell me again who America First was supposed to be for. nytimes.com/2026/04/22/us/…

Ana Navarro: “I cannot normalize the abnormal. I cannot normalize the cruelty and inhumanity by Trump against my community. There have been 50 people who have died under ICE custody. There are almost 4K small children in detention centers in deplorable conditions”

Just a friendly reminder: @SenRickScott (R-FL) is a crook: - His company ColumbiaHCA defrauded Medicare & was fined $2 billion— a record at the time - Scott invoked 5th amendment 75 times to avoid prison & received $300 MILLION retirement package - Has spent $175 MILLION of his own money buy FL Gov & Senate seat. - He’s more than doubled his net worth since

Most Nazis didn’t think they were fascists. They thought they were patriots. Sound familiar?
