This is the most important story of the year so far. ProPublica found 75 officials in key election protection roles across federal agencies have been fired, resigned, or reassigned. They've been replaced by two dozen political appointees – 10 tried to reverse Trump's 2020 loss.

The US president is praising Allah and Iran is defending the Pope, welcome to 2026

Trump's followers on Truth Social are calling him the Antichrist after his post of an image depicting himself as Jesus

A statement from University President Rev. Robert A. Dowd, C.S.C., in support of Pope Leo XIV:

The Olive tree of Vouveson on the island of Crete, Greece, is one of the oldest olive trees in the world. Scientists from the University of Crete have estimated it to be 4,000 years old, which means that, when it sprouted, the last mammoths were still walking on Earth, someone in China was discovering bronze casting and the seventh Egyptian dinasty was declining. The Minoan civilization was thriving and its monumental architecture was adorning the island of Crete. The first stones of the Palace of Minos at Knossos which inspired the myth of the Minotaur were laid. This tree saw the humans deeds for thousands of years, from the Bronze Age to the artificial intelligence and, possibly the most amazing thing, it continues to produce olives at every season.

Max you are unparalleled!! The happiest of birthday s day and for YEARS TO COME

遅くなりましたが世界選手権での 応援をありがとうございました！ SPでは少しアクシデントがありましたが、皆様の手拍子の歓声と一緒に楽しく滑ることができました。 FSでは自分の追い求めていた以上のパフォーマンスをすることができて、ラストのスピンのときからスタンディングオベーションや、たくさんの拍手や声援が聞こえてきて、夢のような時間と最高の景色を見ることができました。 ここ数シーズン、悔しい思いをすることが多く、辛いこともありましたが、最後に良い形でシーズンを終えることができて良かったです。 長いようであっという間のようで長いようなシーズンでしたが、ここまで支えてくださった関係者、周りの方々、そして、応援してくれた皆様、ありがとうございました。 そして、ご報告になりますが、来シーズンの2026-27シーズンは試合には出ず、休養を取ることにいたしました。 今後に向けて、新しい挑戦とともにフィギュアスケートの魅力を再発見したり、自分自身を見つめ直す時間を作って、過ごしていけたらと思います。 色んなプロジェクトを進めているのでお楽しみに待っていただけたらありがたいです。 今後もアイスショーやイベントがあるので、皆様の前で姿をお見せできるのを楽しみにしています！

So do scholars. I can't tell you the number of times I've needed data from some page that no longer exists. I'm actually doing that kind of research now on state campaigns going back over a decade. If you want to find the losers' campaign materials, there's no alternative.

🇫🇷 #ParisRoubaix A special celebration, pointing towards the steel-blue sky above the Vélodrome in Roubaix. 🥹 A celebration you had been thinking about for a long time. But every time you came close, it just wasn’t meant to be. Until today, April 12, around 16:30. After an incredible race, you defeated the world champion in a sprint. A sprint that has already brought you so many major victories. But this one will be special. You didn’t just win for us, but also for your former teammate and friend Michael Goolaerts, who lost his life during this iconic race in 2018. The emotions afterwards said enough. Your words spoke volumes. For 258 kilometers, your thoughts were with Michael, his family, and all your former teammates. 💛

In these days of sorrow, fear, and unwavering hope in God, I feel closer than ever to the beloved people of Lebanon. The principle of humanity, inscribed in the conscience of every person and recognized in international law, entails a moral obligation to protect the civilian population from the horrific effects of war. I call on the parties in the conflict to declare a ceasefire and urgently seek a peaceful solution.

So after being offered an in-person appearance from JD Vance and a promise by Don Jr. for “a direct line” to his dad if they support Viktor Orban, Hungarians decided instead to vote for a possible supermajority of seats against Orban
