Russia eased vaccination standards when diphtheria seemed beaten. 157,000 infections. 5,000 dead. Japan dropped mandates after a trust collapse. Rubella came back. Babies born blind and deaf. Nigeria boycotted polio shots. The virus paralyzed 2,500 children and spread to 20

April 21, 2025 was my last day as U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine. I was the first female Ambassador to serve in a war zone and I am proud of our work to fight back against Russia's aggression and protect democracy. But when Trump kept appeasing Putin, I had to resign and speak out.

Trump’s met his match in Iran, they know it, he knows it. Stable genius has backed himself into a corner. He has few cards, he can’t bomb them further & send oil to $200 bucks a barrel any easier than he can force them to open Strait. He’s f*cked & the whole world see’s his hand.

Sure his loathsome brood will continue to place trades on inside information and manipulate markets & even though we have a neutered press at home, BBC and others are catching on, so exposure risks on that start to look pretty dicey. He wants to cut and run but can’t now. FUBAR.

🚨The Russian Duma is warning of economic collapse triggering a 1917-style revolution THIS YEAR🚨 "We've told [Putin] ten times, the economy is bound to collapse...If you don't take immediate action...in the fall we'll face what happened in 1917." I need LOTS more popcorn.🍿🍿

The company under Nunes never made a dollar of profit, but siphoned off many millions of investor dollars to put in the pockets of himself, the Trump family, and grifters in their orbit. Typical of most Trump business enterprises.

Here comes the food inflation Costs for food companies jumped 7.9% yoy in March (vs. 4.2% in Feb.) This is basically just from higher fuel costs - we're still waiting for the impact of higher fertilizer, plastics, etc. From the Odd Lots newsletter: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…

The all powerful Moldovan oligarch Vladimir Plahotniuc, currently under EU sanctions for his attempts to destabilize and threaten the territorial integrity of both Moldova and Ukraine, has been sentenced today to 19 years for a theft amounting to roughly 12% of Moldova’s GDP.

Republicans suddenly realizing they’re missing those norms that Trump destroyed while they stood around and watched.

MAGA Twitter this morning after realizing they started a war they lost:

Support for impeaching Trump is at 55%, according to a new Strength In Numbers/ @Verasight_data poll, with 37% of adults opposed. Crucially 1 in 5 of Trump’s own voters support impeachment. Read and share: gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-22-s…

Trump's disapproval rating is clearly higher than ever before. Higher than it was both in 2017 -- and even after Jan. 6. cnn.com/2026/04/21/pol…

The central governing philosophy of the Trump Administration is to cover up the Epstein files.

Microscopic Animal Sarah Longwell Republican Accountability Norms need to be entrenched as laws with enforceable consequences. Having a contract with vague unenforceable terms and conditions is a formula for abuse. If the US wants to return to being "a country of laws, not men," where "no one is above the law," then norms must be codified

… then we will seal our own fate. We can, and must, remove Trump and his criminal gang. America can't take another 33 months of this shit. It's time for everyone to join and support what my friend Marc E. Elias calls the "Fight Wing" of the Democratic Party. (2/3)

Kash Patel was never going to use his power responsibly. His FBI is just another weapon to enforce Trump's autocratic demands.

He’s not wrong

When this administration is gone, it’s gonna be like cleaning up after a frat party

This doesn't look suspicious in the slightest. Nope.

One of the best days of my life was March of 1972. I was eight years old. My father was a crane operator. My mother was a makeup artist. I walked home from elementary school and came through the side door. My grandmother and my mother were ecstatic. In the unfinished basement
