Trump to small business owners: I just want to sort of end by, I'll give you a little common sense business... just one little anecdote. We have a beautiful, potentially beautiful, built in 1922, reflecting pond in between the Washington Monument and the Lincoln Memorial. It's 2,500 feet long. It's granite. I built a lot of swimming pools.

David Ignatius: Presidents avoided war with Iran for 47 years. Iran is big, wily, smart. No easy exits. Trump blew through his briefings. Thought Iran would be like Venezuela - show up, capitulate, done. Now he's stuck. No one's rushing to help. And he's learning about unanticipated consequences the hard way The 'greatest negotiator' walked into a trap.

It is time we bring down the cost of housing, healthcare, and child care. I'm proud to co-lead the Congressional Progressive Caucus’s New Affordability Agenda, so we can put money back in the pockets of Americans and uphold our promises to working families.

Senator John Kennedy (R): "Who, if anyone, did Epstein traffic these young women to?" FBI Director Kash Patel: "There is no credible information, none ... that he trafficked to other individuals." @Acyn (2025) *This is demonstrably false.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Trump just revealed he was given MULTIPLE cognitive tests in a short period. This is not normal. TRUMP: “They're hard. The first question is easy. You have a lion, a bear, an alligator, and a squirrel. “Which is the squirrel?’” Yikes.

Trump is desperately trying to hide the fact that Iran’s strikes on U.S. military bases were catastrophic. He’s asking private satellite companies not to image them. THE MOST TRANSPARENT ADMINISTRATION EVER?! Yeah. Right!

Trump just said: “When I get out of office in, let’s say, eight or nine years from now…” His current term ends in 2029. Eight or nine years from now is 2033 or 2034. The 22nd Amendment limits presidents to two terms. His own judicial nominees refused to confirm that on camera this week. He’s not hiding it anymore. Never stop connecting the dots.

Meiselas: Talk about why you believe, versus the other candidates, that you’re the person who can fight them if our audience is saying, “Well, aren’t you from the billionaire club?” Steyer: I am from the billionaire club, and I’m also the billionaire who’s willing to tax billionaires like myself and make them pay more. I am the billionaire who’s willing to take on the electric monopolies that are charging Californians twice as much as other Americans and drive down costs by 25%. I am the billionaire who supports single-payer healthcare. I am the billionaire who says we need a windfall profits tax on the obscene profits that oil companies are making right now as a result of Donald Trump’s war in Iran.

Putin is terrified. Putin lives in a bunker and fears being eliminated by his own elites using a drone – according to the "Important Stories" project, citing a secret report from the Russian intelligence service. Since March 2026, Putin has been living in heightened fear of a possible coup or a drone assassination attempt, allegedly orchestrated domestically. The Russian Federal Security Service (FSO) has radically altered the dictator's lifestyle: Putin no longer visits facilities in Valdai and the Moscow region. The Russian president works for weeks at a time in modernized bunkers (particularly in the Krasnodar region), while state media broadcast pre-prepared video footage. Employees in Putin's immediate circle are prohibited from using smartphones. The homes of service employees (chefs, photographers) have been monitored. The Foreign Service is responsible for the regular internet and communication outages in the capital, and special units are stationed along the Moskva River to defend against drones.

Peter Navarro: "One of the biggest problems we have is inflation in beef. And one of the reasons has to do with just the way nature has been for the last decade or more. There's not much we up here can do about that. But Joe Biden ... "

In new inquiry to White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) & Sen. Martin Heinrich (D-NM) seek copies of any Trump plans to lower gas prices... noting how Trump recently referenced "fake inflation" Inquiry: "What specific proposals have been presented to you, and how have you advised the President on how to lower energy prices?"

🚨 Susan Collins is no moderate. She’s a classic corrupt DC politician: Blatant Vote-Selling Corruption — Maine Pork for Her Senate “Yes” Votes As Senate Appropriations Chair, Collins is shamelessly bragging about ramming through $428.6 MILLION in earmarks for 158 pet projects across every Maine county in the FY2026 bills — hogging the majority of the state’s entire $460M federal haul and ranking 2nd-highest per capita in America. Her trophy list of taxpayer-funded bribes: $71 million to hospitals & health centers, tens of millions for 45 fire stations, $16 million for Southern Maine Community College, plus shipyard upgrades, lobster industry handouts, and more. Straight-up quid pro quo — caught red-handed: • November 2025: She co-authored and jammed through the “reopen government” CR/shutdown bill stuffed with another $35 million for 20 of her Maine pork projects — then voted YES. • January 2026: She forced the massive five-bill FY2026 appropriations package through the Senate (71-29) locking in the full $428.6M+ — and voted YES to approve it. This is textbook corruption: Collins auctions her gavel and swing votes to pack bloated spending bills with Maine pork, then delivers the decisive “yes” votes that keep the federal gravy train rolling. Taxpayers foot the bill. Collins buys her reelection cover.

Tell Donnie Two Dolls members of Congress cannot be impeached. The Constitution is explicit: impeachment applies to the President, Vice President, and civil officers of the United States. Congress members are not civil officers. They cannot be impeached. Full stop. Such a low IQ menace.

Elon Musk’s rabid dive into white supremacy has taken place in broad daylight and has been amply documented. It has been unsubtle and unvarnished. But in recent months Musk has flooded the zone with hundreds of direct tweets, quote‑tweets and reposts that amplified claims of “white genocide,” claims that white people would be “slaughtered,” and accusing Jews and other groups of “pushing hatred” against white people— the sort of thing that used to be confined to the far reaches of the white supremacist fever swamp. open.substack.com/pub/charliesyk…

MAGA PASTOR Kevin Jones Who Wore Charlie Kirk’s “FREEDOM” Shirt In Sermon Arrested For Soliciting Minors. West Virginia news confirms Pastor Kevin Curtis Jones of Summit Church in Elkins was arrested for soliciting a minor via computer and distributing child exploitation material, with charges filed recently. NOT A DRAG QUEEN NOT TRANSGENDER NOT AN IMMIGRANT

Donald Trump has suddenly apologized to Ukraine. “We need your experienced warriors to finish the job with Iran. If you help us, we will help you return all your territories,” he added. The United States no longer wants to fight Iran, but if Ukraine brings this to an end, Trump is ready to give us everything. According to sources close to the negotiations, the deal looks like this: Ukraine provides a limited but highly effective contingent of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (special units, pilots, drone operators, and air defense units) for an operation against Iran. In return, the United States guarantees the return of all occupied territories — including Crimea, Donbas, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson. Additionally, there would be a powerful package of military aid, long-term security guarantees, and strong pressure on Russia. This is the first time Trump has publicly acknowledged mistakes in previous policy toward Ukraine and directly asked for help.

Trump’s escalation just backfired. Iran has now struck a major UAE oil port—Fujairah—setting it on fire, along with hitting multiple ships in the Strait of Hormuz. This comes after Trump claimed the U.S. would escort ships through the Strait. Now? No ships are moving. A critical oil hub is burning. And we are waiting to see if full hostilities resume.

FOX BUSINESS: The EPA is allowing the extension of gas flaring for natural gas operations, and that some argue is not great for emissions. Can you point to something where you have actually tightened regulations to make sure we have clean air? ZELDIN: So, we, uh, um, on the water space, we increased water quality standards FOX: It's important to note that the Trump administration has loosened regulations on the way wastewater is allowed to be disposed of near critical waterways

Ron DeSantis just signed Florida’s new congressional map into law. Republicans expect to pick up 4 House seats. Louisiana cancelled an ongoing election to eliminate Black majority districts. Florida just redrew its maps to do the same thing more quietly. They can’t win on ideas. So they keep changing the rules. Never stop connecting the dots.

This summer will be a moment when Putin decides what to do next: expand the war or move to diplomacy. And we must push him toward diplomacy. Russia has announced a May 9 parade in Moscow without military equipment. If that happens, it will be the first time in many, many years. They cannot afford military equipment – and they fear drones may buzz over Red Square. This is telling. It shows they are not strong now. So we must keep the pressure, by sanctions, on them. Please oppose any ideas to ease sanctions – this is important. And thank you also to those who are fighting against Russia’s shadow oil fleet.
