“You’re just keeping a pedophile in your church,” an investigator tells preacher Daryl Bruckelmyer in this police recording. Yet when asked why he never reported an alleged child abuser to the authorities, this is how Bruckelmyer responded: propub.li/3TYPk9E

The journalists traveling with the president had no idea he had secretly switched planes due to a perceived threat from Iran. Now, some say the operation has left them feeling deceived and questioning whether the White House considered their safety.

This piece is incredible. If you prefer audio, here’s an interview I did with the reporter walking through her reporting. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

The brothers were taken into custody on a sealed warrant, the Marshals Service told the AP. British prosecutors said they were seeking the extradition of the brothers on rape and trafficking charges. n.pr/4yqyjEY

Trump's big document release tonight, supposedly meant to prove China stole the 2020 election, includes this classified intel graphic making clear that Russia was the only country trying to meddle in American voting systems.

President Trump used a primetime address to make false claims, threaten news outlets, and release documents that misleadingly suggest Colorado's public voter rolls were "compromised" by China.

Casually threatening mass rapes

I’ve lived in Beijing too. They don’t have elections.

$81 billion in tariffs you paid given to companies.

We’ve opened the strait that was never closed, ceasing a ceasefire for a war that was never a war, stopping Iran from charging tolls because tolls are illegal, all so Trump can charge his *own* tolls because *his* tolls are legal. This will hurt affordability which is a hoax anyway

victory lapping on this one

Here's a fun fact about Elon Musk: in 2020, his (nominal) net worth was $20b, and today it's $1t (nominally). But *that's* not the fun fact; *this* is: everything he's done since 2020 was a flop. 1/

In the announcement issued immediately after Trump launched the war in Iran, he declared, “We’re going to destroy their missiles and raise their missile industry to the ground. It will be totally, again, obliterated.” It was the first of five objectives. 109 days later:

Iran gets: $300 billion economic fund U.S. releasing all frozen assets “Maintain status quo of nuclear program” All sanctions lifted, unimpeded exports & related transactions No new sanctions Control of Hormuz w/Oman U.S. pulling military & ensuring peace in Lebanon www.nytimes.com/2026/06/17/u...

NEW: Across Africa, the State Department has demanded access to health data for millions of people as a condition of giving countries billions of dollars in aid needed to address HIV, malaria, tuberculosis and other illnesses.

🇨🇴 67 leading international economists, scholars, & public policy figures have signed an open letter backing Colombia’s econ. transformation under President Gustavo Petro, saying the country is demonstrating that “another economic path is possible” by breaking from decades of neoliberal orthodoxy...

Have you ever seen anything like this? Trump is agreeing to a truce with Iran, and the people claiming 'serious reservations' about the deal include his: -- CIA director -- Secretary of State/National Security Advisor -- Secretary of Defense -- Vice president -- Two chief negotiators on Iran

From a reporter who helped exposed Bernie Madoff

Who knows if there will be a final agreement. But if there is, two things will be true at the same time: a) It's essentially surrender to Iran. b) We should be glad about it, because every day this insane, illegal war continues, we get weaker. 1/ Let me explain.

NEW: Pope Leo XIV’s new archbishop of New York, Ronald Hicks, celebrates the Knicks’ title with Mayor Zohran Mamdani at the city’s Puerto Rican festival.

Looks like they made their money off the trades.

Step 1: Tear up Obama’s Iran Deal Step 2: ???? Step 3: Give Iran 20x more cash than Obama amidst greatest strategic failure in American history.

Now It Makes Sense: Carine Hajjar used to be a fellow at conservative thinktank Hudson Institute, wrote for extremely rightwing National Review, received a grant from The Fund for American Studies, and now is repeating all that propaganda through this “show.” Seems like an aspiring Bari Weiss.

There needs to be a slush fund to pay out victims of “Biden weaponizing government” because, let’s see here, Trump’s tax returns were leaked the first time Trump was president.

“With few exceptions, snorkeling and diving are off-limits around the USS Arizona.”

Trump is posting absolutely deranged shit on social media this morning ahead of departing for China today. Get a load of this stuff.

Trump campaigned on bringing down the cost of living "starting on day one," and then: started a trade war; deported much of the farm workforce, bombed Iran, allowed healthcare subsidies to expire, cut food assistance, ran an interest-rate boosting deficit, and attacked fed independence.

Just to point out, he is not talking about the United States blowing up dozens of Venezuelan boats in the Caribbean Sea. I know it can be confusing.

JPMORGAN: “.. While the Trump 2.0 DoJ increased prosecution of immigration cases, it also terminated pending investigations involving organized crime, white collar crime, corruption, labor racketeering, violent crime, healthcare fraud and national security at a record pace.”

NEW: On April 28, GOP Rep. Jim Jordan accused environmental law scholars of bias, conspiracy and colluding to influence the U.S. judiciary. The next day, free-market conservatives kicked off a multiday climate skepticism event for more than 150 judges.

I am guessing that “FOUR” did not sound as ominous as “MULTIPLE.” Four from across New Jersey.

NEW: Trump aides declared an emergency to bypass Congress to sell arms valued at $8.6 billion to Israel and Arab nations. That means less weapons for the US since munitions take years to make. Pentagon officials are alarmed at low supplies and war risks. Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/02/w...

Jesus Christ, DO NOT USE TALKSPACE FOR THERAPY EVER.

hey do you guys think I need a lawyer

This remains the dumbest thing the Trump administration has yet tried. to "86" something: throw it out/send it back, is 100+ year old restaurant term meaning either: throw someone out/send back food. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/86_(term)

Comey: Well, they're back. This time about a picture of seashells on a North Carolina beach a year ago. And this won't be the end of it. But nothing has changed with me. I'm still innocent. I'm still not afraid. And I still believe in the independent federal judiciary. So let's go.

After shots were fired at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner Saturday night, Karoline Leavitt amplified calls for a crackdown on the political left. But Leavitt conveniently ignored Trump’s history of regularly using violent rhetoric against his political opponents. https://bit.ly/3QxAAwN

In this clip, Kash Patel says the grand jury heard evidence that Comey deleted the '8647' post and apologized. Neither fact appears in the indictment. Hmm. Did the FBI director just disclose evidence presented before a grand jury?

Here’s a brief explainer (from last year, when the incident happened) of why even if Comey really did suggest the President should be killed, it wouldn’t be a crime even under the specific statute criminalizing threats against the President.
