NEWS: Trump deploying U.S. combat forces to the Middle East as conflict with Houthis escalates

Really not good www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/b...

Well, Easter is a time of resurrection, and truly, there is no Lazarus like Prince Andrew. #RoyalFamily

RIP 🙏🏼 I was blessed to attend mass at the Vatican with him several years ago.. I pray the next Pope follows his lead.

Princess Meghan revelling in the beauty of nature. Unlike those ducking idiots over on Toxic Isle. They'd get out of the car, shoot the duck, and have a minion collect it and prepare it for supper, what. Duckheads. Duckwits. #BuckinghamMalice #SussexSquad

Pope Francis passed away on Easter Monday at the age of 88 www.celebitchy.com/918690/

Deeply embarrassing stuff from the Secretary of Defense

The Pope in December, re: Israel’s attack on Gaza — “Yesterday, children were bombed. This is cruelty, this is not war.” #RIP

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

Q: "How do you respond to Governor Newsom?" Sen. Van Hollen: "I think Americans are tired of elected officials or politicians who are all finger to the wind...Anybody who can't stand up for the Constitution and the right of due process doesn't deserve to lead."

ICYMI: “Tesla faces a proposed class action claiming it speeds up odometers on its electric vehicles so they fall out of warranty faster, saving Elon Musk’s company from having to pay for repairs.” www.cnbc.com/2025/04/18/t...

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question. “Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”

Under Hegseth, the Naval Academy removed books (Maya Angelou out, Mein Kampf in🤔) — then canceled a speech by Ryan Holiday who was going to talk about the importance of reading uncomfortable ideas. Where’s the “free speech” Crowd on all this? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/o...

The British Trashloids will *not* give up being the PR spokespeople for the Welfare Royals. I like to call this "Buckingham Malice". #QuidProQuo It's exhausting. #ToxicBritishMedia #ToxicBritishPress #ToxicRoyalFamily #BuckinghamMalice #NotMyKing #SussexSquad

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

The week was dominated by news about the Maryland man illegally deported to El Salvador. But there was also concern over tariffs and Robert F. Kennedy's work as Health and Human Services secretary.

How is it possible U.S. citizens are being held as illegal aliens in America even after they produce their birth certificate? This is intolerable. www.nbcnews.com/news/latino/...

🇯🇵 WATCH: “Their (tariffs) theory is a mess and there is no consistency. I hope you never give in to the American extortionists… if you give a mugger money, they’ll come back to mug us again. Watch the Roy Cohn documentary to understand Trump.” Yeah, Japan gets it.

The freight guys have really started freaking out over the past 48-72 hours:

The tariff saga and its impact on disabled people cannot be separated from the administration’s brutal cuts to Medicaid. “It’s really the most vulnerable of the most vulnerable…who need technologies to live.”

Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, will keynote the TIME100 Summit on April 23 alongside global leaders. The TIME100 list will be revealed at the Summit and a Gala on April 24. It will air on ABC on May 4th. www.prnewswire.com/news-release...

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Four Russian journalists have been convicted of extremism and jailed for working with an anti-corruption group founded by the opposition leader Aleksei Navalny, highlighting the perils of independent journalism amid an intensified Kremlin crackdown on freedom of expression.

The Royal Queen of speeches is one of Times100 speakers!😭 I'm so immensely proud of Meghan Sussex!!❤

🏆 @rollingstone.com wins the Headline of the Day Award This is how it’s done. At least someone understands the assignment. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The ultra wealthy are building bunkers to insulate themselves from the world they're rapidly destroying. It's why we have to work together because it really is a 0.1% vs the 99.9% situation www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

As Passover begins, I am reposting my open letter to Elon Musk. I wrote it in response to his attacks on me and his suggestion that I suffer from “generational trauma.” It has been the most viral piece I have ever written and I continue to be moved by the positive feedback. Thanks and Happy Pesach!

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Good King Harry. #SussexSquad

It’s not enough that the royal family don't show up for the hard stuff — they’re now actively trying to discredit those who do. #SussexSquad The Only Thing the Royals Work Hard At Is Resenting People Who Actually Work unpacked4.wordpress.com/2025/04/12/t...

You won’t find a single “Duchess of Sussex” stamped across the label of her raspberry spread. And really, can you blame her? #SussexSquad

The title of this article was very direct, but the description was spot on… If you saw any of this cabinet meeting you most likely agree. It was difficult to watch, the level of groveling was gross, and embarrassing. The blind sheep in the cabinet remove any semblance of hope or confidence…

Raskin: If they can just sweep someone off the street, put them on an airplane, and send them to a torturer’s prison in an authoritarian state like El Salvador without due process… then they could do it to anybody.
