In unexplained order and dissent on the Monday order list, Supreme Court, 8-1, grants Administration's request to remove temporary protected status from some 350k Venezuelans. The status was granted by Biden Admin, but it is by definition nation-wide and temporary. Justice Jackson noted her dissent

Stolen Valor

“Sesame Street” has signed a new distribution deal with Netflix, as well as a separate deal with PBS, the show announced on Monday. This gives the children’s show a much needed-boost as it battles a financial crisis. nyti.ms/3Zswh7l

Those are some fancy rings

Walz: We don’t need to run government like a business, because we’re not in the profit-making business. We’re in the business of improving lives and looking toward the future. And second, this guy has a proven track record of being an absolute failure.

Kleptocracy

Walz: When did government get to tell you how many dolls your child has? Government just big enough to fit in your bedroom, your womb, and apparently now in your toy chest.

Amid dropping vaccination rates, 25 children in New York State died from influenza during the 2024-25 flu season — more than in any recent flu season, state health authorities said on Wednesday.

Two fighter jets gone in a week, totaling over $100 million. Hopefully Hegseth can put the bottle down long enough to explain to DOGE. www.cbsnews.com/news/u-s-fig...

This is good news

Some Good News: It’s Working: Ed Martin is out, National Parks are in, Trump is being contradicted by the Intelligence Community & the NC Sup Ct race from last November finally gets decided. Democracy wins. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

So we are back to where we were three months ago: the war will be over when the Russians stop fighting www.euronews.com/my-europe/20...

Auchincloss on Fox News: "What I'm seeing is a president who is more interested in the valuation of his memecoin than he is about people's 401ks. What I'm seeing is a president who along with Howard Lutnick is self-dealing on crypto instead of worrying about the strength of the US dollar."

ICE Agents Wait At Edge Of Delivery Table To Deport Newborn

Dear Canada- Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever. ❤️ from your neighbors below, 🇺🇸 #MakeAmericaNormalAgain

Well I see the US is for sale today….

But, but .. my “DOGE dividend.” 💔 www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-p...

The Plan: Impeach Trump after the midterms, 2 years into his term and the struggle to hang on to the country we hope we really are. If Republicans resist, a Democrat-led impeachment proceeding would at the very least be a watershed moment—an essential reckoning: www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-is-m...

My takeaway from this: He is so fucked.

'He embraced all people': Californians mourn a pope who shared their values, brought excitement to church

Pope Francis says in his will that he wants to be laid to rest at the Papal Basilica of St. Mary Major in Rome, where six other popes are buried, in a simple, undecorated tomb with only the inscription “Franciscus,” according to the Vatican, which released the document on Monday.

He did it. He crashed the entire economy. In exactly 90 days.

National security clearances? Overrated. Now you too can stay in the loop—thanks to Pete Hegseth’s Friends & Family Plan! youtube.com/shorts/-CKXq...

Pope Francis knew the enemies within: “In every religion there is always a fundamentalist group that does not want to go ahead and lives on bitter memories, on the struggles of the past, looking for more war and also sowing fear." www.vaticannews.va/en/pope/news...

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

This, sadly, is true. The United States government is in the hands of morally depraved and morally corrupted people who are enabled by moral cowards and the morally apathetic.

Workaround

A federal judge just ordered intensive expedited discovery into Trump’s illegal deportation of Abrego Garcia. The latest:

“They’re not really using AI, they’re not really driving efficiency. What they’re doing is smashing everything,” the former official said. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.
