If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.
Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

Did you know King Charles II had a favorite censorship czar by the name of Roger L'Estrange? His job was to carry out the duties of the Crown's shiny new Licensing Act which required publishers (including printers and booksellers) to have a license to publish any works. He LOVED his job. 🧵
The First Amendment leaves editorial judgments to broadcasters—not regulators. @techfreedom.org was joined more than 50 First Amendment scholars and free speech organizations in filing reply comments urging the FCC to end its “equal time” crackdown on The View. techfreedom.org/50-free-spee...

The Trump administration is dismantling a $368 million deep-ocean observation system that was put in place a decade ago to monitor coastal environments, marine ecosystems and powerful currents that affect the global climate.

It’s telling that when Hassett was asked about the spike in delinquent credit card balances, he talked about the potential harm to credit card companies, not people.
BREAM: The Journal says percentage of delinquent credit card balances is 13%, the highest in 15 years. People are using them for necessities. Your message to them? HASSETT: We talk to CEOs of the credit card companies all the time, and there's not any threat to them. People are taking a bit longer.

Jesus, look at this thing: www.justice.gov/opa/media/14... The IRS is apparently "FOREVER BARRED and PRECLUDED" from investigating Trump, his companies, and his family ever again because the Acting Attorney General (his old personal attorney) says so.

From Catherine Belton, on why Vance is going to Budapest www.washingtonpost.com/world/2026/0...

Pretty impressive for a regime that was decimated and barely alive. Almost like the White House and Pentagon lied and now service members are risking their lives.
🚨 🚨 ABC News confirms that Iran used advanced, passive infrared detection to shoot down the American F-15E fighter jet. Passive infrared detection does not emit radar signals. As a result, it cannot be detected or jammed by American electronic warfare systems. That leaves our aircraft vulnerable.

The death of a nearly blind refugee who was found on a Buffalo street in February — five days after Border Patrol agents left him at a doughnut shop — has been ruled a homicide, authorities said. The Erie County Medical Examiner’s Office didn’t reach any conclusions about responsibility.

Remember when USPS had a contract to buy a fleet of EVs and Trump made them cancel it and go back to gas?
The U.S. Postal Service announced they're charging a 8% surcharge on all package shipments to offset rising fuel costs • The surcharge will begin April 26 and would remain in place until January 17th, 2027 Source: about.usps.com/newsroom/nat...

As a reminder: Flynn pleaded guilty in the first Trump term; was pardoned by Trump; he sued for politically motivated prosecution; and now Trump II admin settled and agreed to pay him an undisclosed sum of taxpayer $$$
NEW: DOJ has reached a financial settlement with Michael Flynn, the conservative activist and former Trump adviser who sought millions for what he alleged was a politically motivated prosecution. No $ details in court notice today, more to come buff.ly/ccz6Hj3 Prev: buff.ly/sWZrlKV

Iran has reinforced its oil facility Kharg Island with troops, air defences, and mines in preparation for a US ground operation, CNN reports. US officials warn of heavy casualties due to layered defences and recent deployments of Iranian MANPADs and anti-armour mines.

Don't often see DOJ attorneys so expressly throwing another agency under the bus. They say every brief was sent to and approved by ICE counsel and the error "appears to have occurred because of agency attorney error." I wouldn't be surprised if the court will want to put someone from ICE under oath
Jaw-dropping admission by DOJ to court. DOJ admits to having repeatedly made "material mistaken" representations to judge - ICE never had authority (under 2025 Guidance) to conduct arrests at immigration courthouses! DOJ admits court "relied on...prior misrepresentations." DOJ blames ICE (page 2)

this is a huge deal and a sign of the changing legal tides for big tech. the plaintiffs attorneys here were early adopters of a novel legal strategy that uses product liability law to sidestep tech companies' go-to defense (section 230) and hold them accountable for defective or negligent design
Meta and YouTube were both found liable by a California jury for harming a plaintiff's mental health with the design of their products. A massive ruling in a bellwether case that will open the floodgates for other lawsuits

I've seen many incredible images out of this war, and this is no exception. I'll be very curious to see this when there is more pics and videos. Looks like the Ust-Luga terminal is fried.
🔥🔥Drones attacked the port of Ust-Luga in Leningrad region. Preliminary reports say the NOVATEK Ust-Luga plant was hit. The facility processes stable gas condensate - a byproduct of oil and gas production - 🧵

The $580 million short oil bet was the smaller of the two insider trades. The larger one, placed at the exact same time (6:49-6:50am), was between $1.4-$1.9 billion to go long S&P 500 e-Mini futures. Over $2 billion in Trump traitor trades, all wildly profitable 15 minutes later after Trump's post.
Someone or someones made $580,000,000 in exquisitely well-timed oil trades that took place 15 minutes before Trump's dubiously optimistic post about the negotiations with Iran. Gift link ⤵️ giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
