The Iran war is undermining the Pentagon's ability to project power in other regions of the world — and leaving allies and former defense officials questioning whether Washington can effectively deter its adversaries.

🚨 BREAKING ACTION: Trump is actively trying to dismantle the US Forest Service—shuttering 57 research labs, relocating HQ, and forcing out thousands of federal workers, including wildland firefighters. Congress can stop this sabotage. Send your letter NOW: 👇 actionnetwork.org/letters/tell...

Trump lies constantly and he is desperate for the Iran war to be over. So desperate that he’s giving Iran 20 times the money Obama did, and getting nothing in return, except an open strait that Iran will charge a “maintenance fee” to all ships. Well done, bozo

Is this big? Because it seems big. www.notus.org/2026-electio...

Scott Pelley deserves this week’s Joseph Welch Award for truth-telling in the face of tyranny Watch this important speech he gave just a year ago.

Three years ago tomorrow, I very nervously gave this speech. I knew my career as a TV journalist was dunzo, cooked, filleted, kaput the morning I wrote it. (Thanks to Kat insisting I go for it anyway.) The end is awfully prescient at this exact second, though. Big ups to Scott Pelley for fighting.

Ohioans have seen what happens when “leaders” in Washington don’t put working families first. We know what’s at stake in this election; that’s why we’re in the fight.

Jon Husted’s votes will cause 500,000 Ohioans to lose their health insurance, and now he’s saying hardworking Ohioans don’t “deserve” Medicaid.

Ken Paxton could be in big trouble, seems like a lot of Texans have had enough!!!

Shapiro: Somehow, he can’t find the money to pay for healthcare, but he can steal from you to pay off the criminals who stormed the Capitol.

Not enough people understand how much a billion dollars is...if they did, things would be very different. $1.8 BILLION is enough to give each pardoned J6 criminal $1 MILLION... What the ACTUAL FUCK?!

Ohioans have had enough of Jon Husted.

While everyone's watching Hormuz, the Epstein files are being buried. The law says release them. Trump is fighting it. Massie may lose his seat Tuesday for pushing it. And now a $1.7B slush fund for Jan 6 defendants? Don't go quiet. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

When these folks are pissed... trump is in trouble!!!

BREAKING: SB 2471 has been signed into law! It’s the first of its kind in the nation and renders the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision irrelevant in Hawaii. This is a win for the movement to get big money, especially dark money, out of politics.

"With control of the strait, Iran emerges as the key player in the region and one of the key players in the world. The roles of China and Russia, as Iran’s allies, are strengthened; the role of the United States, substantially diminished. ...

The President of the United States is a criminal. He SHOULD have been convicted for the crimes he led on January 6th, 2021. He WAS convicted of 34 felonies for corruption and harassment. Yet somehow, instead of facing the consequences he deserves, he’s running the government like a mob operation.

A month before his death in 2019, when seen with red marks on his neck, Epstein said he was attacked by his cellmate Nick Tartaglione & that he wasn't suicidal. Tartaglione is serving four life sentences for four murders, and he claims to have found the suicide note. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/u...

His Majesty is saying we Americans should have no kings.

Note that there's been no threat to sue over this statement. I know I would be suing for tens of millions if I was innocent.

The Trump administration asserts that a nearly 50-year-old law requiring the preservation of presidential records is unconstitutional. Historians warn important papers could be destroyed.

Washington is pretending to look busy with phony investigations—but don't let them distract you from the cover-up. The Epstein files remain hidden, and Pam Bondi still hasn’t appeared for questioning. No hearings. No deposition date. No answers.

“He cheated on the golf course. He cheated on his taxes. He cheated on his wives. He cheated the business contractors he stiffed. He tried to cheat in the 2020 election. And now he’s trying to cheat on the 2026 midterms - because he knows he can’t win.”

Hungary just elected a new PM who wasted zero time — he shut down state propaganda, called out the corrupt officials by name, and started the reckoning on day one. It made me want to write down exactly what that should look like here. So I did. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Can it really be considered an exclusive when I’ve been telling people this for months? Asking for a friend.

“'I’ve never experienced anything like this in my entire life,' the congresswoman said, fighting back tears. "She described the way people were laying down inside as “like sardines.” “'It is frightening in there,' she said. 'It is disgusting'..." azmirror.com/2026/04/10/i...

This is how Bruce Springsteen opened his concert in Los Angeles last night. 🔥🔥 Footage from @margaret_nagle on Threads.

I wonder what MAGA would say if the Obama Iran deal let them charge tolls to the tune of $90 billion a year on a waterway they don’t own? I mean we all know but still…. Worth asking. Fox went crazy when he wore a tan suit
