It took me 30 seconds to find at least ten postings from Zelensky directly thanking the United States for their support. There are many more. This is pure BS.

Trump and Vance are not selling out Ukraine because of anything Zelenskyy said to them. Trump and Vance are selling out Ukraine because of things Putin and Musk said to them.

Jessica: I thought the most shocking part was that Trump says, Putin went through a hell of a lot with me.. Are you comfortable with an American president saying Putin went through a hell of a lot with me? Are they buddies?

Donald Trump has ordered that swathes of America’s forests be felled for timber, evading rules to protect endangered species while doing so and raising the prospect of chainsaws razing some of the most ecologically important trees in the US. theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m…

Richard Haass, veteran of three Republican administrations, on NPR today: "I'm used to empires or orders crumbling. I'm used to them being overwhelmed. I've never seen the side, the country that created it and maintained it, dismantling it. And that is exactly what we are doing."

David Kelly of J.P. Morgan Asset Management: "The trouble with tariffs, to be succinct, is that they raise prices, slow economic growth, cut profits, increase unemployment, worsen inequality, diminish productivity and increase global tensions. Other than that, they’re fine."

This BBC graphic is a good way to show why reciprocal 25% tariffs will cause prices on some goods to go up far more than 25%. A piston used in a car engine made in Michigan will cross the U.S. border twice, and will be taxed 25% each time. Some products cross more than that.

This is the "Tren de Aragua" tattoo that got a man sent to El Salvador by the Trump administration. "Mom" with a heart for the O and a royal crown above it, and "Dad" in cursive with a little crown over the D. This is why due process matters!

The president is running a crypto scam where he can receive millions of dollars anonymously. Meanwhile the DOJ has shut down the crypto investigations unit. Truly no corruption scheme like this in our history at least out of the White House. fortune.com/crypto/2025/04…

WHOA. If Lyons is right that nine people have died in ICE custody since January 20, that means FIVE of them have died in the last month and haven't been reported to the public as required, since ICE's list of detainee deaths doesn't have anything new since April 8.

Plantir, owned by Peter Thiel, is collecting sensitive personal and financial data on American citizens to create detailed profiles for the government. Thiel once wrote "freedom and democracy may not be compatible," and "capitalism and authoritarianism" are. Do you get it yet?

HHS has acknowledged they messed up the citations with the MAHA Report, using studies that don't exist to support its conclusions. They've added new citations...that make more mistakes and don't support the report's conclusions. notus.org/health-science…

Trump’s 2018 tariffs slapped a 25% tax on steel and 10% on aluminum. Economists found they raised prices, hurt U.S. manufacturers, and killed more jobs than they created. Consumers ended up footing the bill. Now he wants to raise them to 50%. Because if it failed at 25%, why not

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. called the lack of healthy food options on Native reservations a “genocide.” Now the Trump administration has ended a program intended to fix the problem. propublica.org/article/tribal…
