Dear @WhiteHouse: PLEASE KEEP PUTTING KEVIN HASSETT ON TV. I love how he is sooo out of touch and delivers asinine statements with his smug, arrogant attitude. He talks about “golden age” and “investment boom.” REALITY: GDP growth last quarter revised downward to an anemic 0.5%.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar

BARTIROMO: We know we just came off of the worst quarter for stocks in several years, we know oil prices have risen 50%. What's your expectation for your impact on economic growth? HASSETT: I think this is a temporary distraction that will very very quickly go away

Pretty much captures it, with the addendum that the increases in military spending are a meant as a bribe to the people who Trump hopes will occupy their own country on his behalf. publicnotice.co/p/trump-2027-b…

1/5. Orbán pioneered a model whereby oligarchs trade the fascist memes and electoral tricks they use to stay in power. He made Budapest a node between Moscow and Washington of the international far right.

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "Other Republicans are terrified. They're cowards. And I really have to call out Speaker Mike Johnson, who calls himself a Christian. I don't know how he can stand by those words. That's what was so offensive to me. Any Christian serving in Congress or the administration really need to take pause and ask themselves, 'As a Christian, do you really support the president calling to wipe out an entire civilization of people?' I don't think you should, because that's not what Jesus said and that's not what Christianity is all about."

Journalist Michael Weiss pulled back the curtain on what’s actually happening in Budapest. While U.S. VP JD Vance was campaigning for Viktor Orbán, Michael revealed that Russian GRU spies are in the background, pulling the strings of the local disinformation machine. The scary part? Vance is repeating their lines word-for-word. The Narrative: Ukraine is the bad guy. The Goal: Disrupt the West and help the Kremlin. The Cost: Truth and national security. Michael’s colleagues are already being targeted for exposing this. We can’t afford to look away. Watch the full breakdown in this clip. #Investigation #Truth #NewsAlert #JDVance #Budapest #Russia #Intelligence

Whoa whoa whoa, let me be clear: I became Catholic because I thought it would help my political fortunes, not because I thought I would ever have to deal with any of this stuff.

JD VANCE: With no disrespect to the cardinal, I don't know who Cardinal Christophe Pierre is REPORTER: He's the ambassador to the Holy Sea and US VANCE: Okay, I've met him before. Sorry. I just didn't remember the name. I've never seen this reporting. I'd like to talk to him.

This is getting old. Performative theater. Of course-nothing wrong if you individually believe this. Just Keep to yourself. If this gives u strength, go for it. Everything wrong, however, if it comes from a cabinet secretary in public, sounding like a religious zealot fighting

Vance was just in Hungary talking about Western civilization, Christendom and the God of our fathers; meanwhile his DoD factotum is angry that the Pope is outspoken against exterminationist rhetoric. It’s all a con intended for those who earnestly desire to be duped.

Why is a private citizen who has financial ties in the billions with Israel and Saudi Arabia negotiating for the United States? Why are no diplomats involved? When will the Republican Congress act like an actual coequal branch of government and not a doormat?

Leavitt announces that Trump is "dispatching his negotiating team led by the vice president, JD Vance, special envoy Witkoff, and Mr. Kushner to Islamabad for talks this weekend"

"How did Iran win? Naturally, the Iranian Minister of War credited divine intervention, declaring 'God deserves all the glory.' His nation, he said, fought with the 'protection of divine providence. A massive effort with miraculous protection.' Well, theocrats gonna theocrat. But I lied. That wasn’t a quote from an Iranian official. That’s what Pete Hegseth, our self-proclaimed Secretary of War, said while claiming that one of the worst strategic defeats in American history was a great victory." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/ignorance-an…

While it is (at least to me) relatively transparent that Vance (or his people) was behind this leak, the real story is that the entire foreign policy team did not speak out enough in what they all deep down believed was a very significant mistake. Ratcliffe saying the Israeli regime change plan was "farcical" or Rubio saying it's "bullshit" is not at all pushback on the decision to go to war. Caine does not get a pass either. This was a major failure in telling truth to power, and will be studied as such.

This is the detail l I've been looking for-- on. how Trump decided to go to war. And the answer @jonathanvswan and @maggieNYT found was -- not one of his advisers was willing to tell him it was a terrible idea nytimes.com/2026/04/07/us/…

So God loves only American troops? Not innocent people who lost their lives in Iran? Where was God's "miraculous protection" for them? This is the inevitable result of believing that God is on "our side." It's making a false god in our image: a god who despises Iranians.

Hegseth: "God deserves all the glory. Tens of thousands of sorties, refuelings, and strikes, carried out under the protection of divine providence. A massive effort with miraculous protection."

I want to be crystal clear about this since the White House insists on manipulating rhetoric at the whims of the President: No regime change has taken place in Iran. Not in theory, not in ideology, not at all. Pezeshkian is still the president, Ejei is still calling shots for the judiciary, and Ghalibaf still controls the parliament. These aren’t “reasonable” people and they aren’t moderate — they are cold blooded killers, and they will carry out a massive campaign of slaughter when given the chance (which this two weeks of ceasefire gave them). Legitimizing them is no different than legitimizing Nazis; you are only kicking the can down the road. That said, if the highly enriched uranium is actually going to be handed over this is a great step — but once again President Trump’s rhetoric is misleading and frankly irresponsible and the Iranian people will pay the price for these comments. Even if we take the deal as a positive achievement and a step forward, it’s not peace…and it’s not even close. It’s a band-aid that preserves the regime…now it may be a band-aid that’s necessary or even temporarily advantageous, but to present it as solving a conflict or even “regime change” is absurd to the point of insult and sheer gaslighting.
