We’re in the middle of a pretty important naval blockade standoff with a country we’ve threatened to destroy, so it seems like a weird time for the Secretary of the Navy to abruptly depart. And by “weird” I mean, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
Sean Parnell@SeanParnellASW

STATEMENT: Secretary of the Navy John C. Phelan is departing the administration, effective immediately. On behalf of the Secretary of War and Deputy Secretary of War, we are grateful to Secretary Phelan for his service to the Department and the United States Navy. We wish him well in his future endeavors. Undersecretary Hung Cao will become Acting Secretary of the Navy.

I would love to be able to watch more court proceedings generally, but this trend of judges wading into "content creation" with their courtrooms is a disgrace to the profession. I think the dividing line, weirdly, is whether there's a "close-up" cam on the judge.
Drew Savicki@DrewSav

Ah, Judge Mindy Glazer. You may recognize this judge from previous viral courtroom videos. Why is that? Because Glazer records her courtroom proceedings and uploads them to YouTube.

I haven’t yet been able to bring myself to read this, but if we’re gonna do this insane thing where we do not live in a society and instead allow “personal choice” in things like vaccination and owning guns then it needs to come with personal responsibility. Your unvaccinated kid infects a baby, you can pay the medical bills and emotional damages to that baby’s parents (and your own health insurance should take vaccination status into account). You want to own a gun, ok, if you don’t secure it and a kid gets ahold of it, you bear the legal burdens. Jail, bankruptcy, there are may options commensurate with the damage you’ve chosen to cause.
The New York Times@nytimes

In Opinion Rebecca Archer’s daughter died of measles that she contracted before she was old enough to be vaccinated. “Parents must realize that refusing vaccinations doesn’t just put your own child at risk. It puts other children at risk,” Archer writes. nyti.ms/3QizMM9

Congratulation you've just described exactly how government officials can use bogus lawsuits to stifle valid criticism in the absence of a fee shifting statute.
Hans Mahncke@HansMahncke

The usual suspects are jeering Kash Patel for losing his defamation lawsuit against Frank Figliuzzi, but they are missing the point. Figliuzzi, or whoever is backing him, had to spend significant money defending the case, and they will never get that back. Do that a few times, and they might start thinking twice about the smears they casually put out every day.

Judge ordered unmonitored legal calls. Guards cut the phones. Then came the beatings, the pepper spray, the knee on a neck, the broken wrist, one man unconscious. Court filings. Attorney photographs. An Amnesty International report titled "Torture." A district court closed it. Two Trump judges reopened it.

This is the true legacy of DOGE - the utter decimation of medical research. MAGA idiots will try to tell you this is just cutting DEI programs. Keep in mind DOGE was filled with such idiots they killed physics grants that mentioned 'polarization' (of light) because of "DEI".

Dittie@DittiePE

DC police responding to a domestic assault call documented that Rep. Cory Mills, on a phone call with the victim, instructed her to lie about where her bruises came from. Officers listened. They still sent an arrest warrant. Trump’s US Attorney for DC, Ed Martin — who calls himself “President Trump’s lawyer” — refused to sign it. A supervisor reclassified the assault as a family disturbance. The arresting officer told the victim on body cam: “I have bosses making this into a family disturbance instead of an actual domestic assault.” MPD internal affairs opened an investigation into its own handling of the case. The criminal probe was later closed. The House Ethics Committee investigation remains open. rawstory.com/trump-doj-2676…

If this report is true, then Trump killed 160+ Iranian schoolgirls, got 13 US troops killed and dozens more wounded, and inflicted untold economic hardship on the American people... just to bring us back to square one: the Obama nuclear deal he shredded in 2017 If that's true, not only does he deserve no credit for such a deal, every Democratic politician and sane pundit should relentlessly hammer him for it

🚨 SCOOP: The U.S. and Iran are negotiating over a three-page plan to end the war, with one element under discussion being that the U.S. would release $20 billion in frozen Iranian funds in return for Iran giving up its stockpile of enriched uranium. axios.com/2026/04/17/ira…

Note: Research shows that approximately 60% of homeless people in Louisiana are Black. And approximately 65% to 68% of the prison population in Louisiana is Black, despite Black people making up only about 33% of the state's total population.
National Homelessness Law Center@homeless_law

BREAKING: Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor. housingnothandcuffs.org/2026/04/16/sta…

@Irrational41Jay Wrong. Have you tried being less broke? Maybe consider cutting Self's salary (highest paid employee in the state of Kansas) if you're gonna top out in the Round of 32 anyways.

Former NOAA meteorologists: NWS Storm Prediction Center completely missed Monday's tornado threat in Kansas City because of "missing weather balloon" data upstream. More "surprise tornadoes" likely as SPC forecasters are left in the dark about severe weather threats.
NBC News@NBCNews

The National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center did not anticipate a tornado threat for the Kansas City area, prompting concerns among some that ongoing changes to staffing and weather balloon releases at the NWS might be leaving forecasters in the dark about threats. nbcnews.com/weather/tornad…

The Budget Lab@The_Budget_Lab

@politico's Weekly Tax features the new @The_Budget_Lab report on the reduction in workforce at IRS. “Weakening the IRS by starving it of resources has significant consequences,” said the Budget Lab’s @NatashaRSarin. “As our work shows, gutting the IRS drains public finances, undermines tax fairness, and erodes the quality of services that an agency which touches every American each and every year is able to provide."
