  "The real embarrassment for Trump is Michigan’s 8th Congressional District. The candidate #Trump endorsed, Amir Hassan, got beaten by a man named Thomas Smith, who ... suspended his own campaign weeks ago. Let me say that again… A Trump-endorsed candidate lost to somebody who quit the race. And it wasn’t particularly close. That’s how toxic this endorsement has become in parts of this country." https://www.meidasplus.com/p/wednesday-news-updates-election-night #DonaldTrump #GOP #Poli...

  Trump: "Is today a 'destroy Iran' day, or a 'pause for negotiations' day?" Aide: "Let me check with your stock broker." (Sorry, I don't know who to credit for the cartoon.) Edited to add: It's apparently an AI remake of a Foxtrot (cartoonist Bill Amend) original work.

  "The #eggs in question have the potential to be contaminated with #Salmonella enteritidis... The salmonella scare comes after an explosive diarrhea outbreak ... On top of that, the New World #screwworm, a flesh-eating parasite, has infested cattle in #Texas & spread to other states, causing an estimated $1 billion in damages. The #Trump admn has cut a lot of the programs that prevented these types of outbreaks in the past" https://newrepublic.com/post/213473/rfk-jr-salmonella-o...

  Another Mysterious Epstein Death On the #Epstein front, French model recruiter Daniel Siad, who spent over a decade arranging meetings between #JeffreyEpstein and young women, has been found dead near Paris. His name appears more than 2,000 times in the DOJ’s Epstein files, and he was under active #criminal investigation in #Paris at the time of his death. An autopsy is pending. This just keeps on happening… https://www.meidasplus.com/i/208092391/another-mysterious-epstein-death #EpsteinFiles...

  "Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal." - Mayor Zohran Mamdani https://bsky.app/profile/mayor.nyc.gov/post/3mr722e77z22z The International Criminal Court declared that Benjamin Netanyahu is a war criminal, but as far as I know, Mayor Mamdani is the only US politician brave enough to state it in clear unequivocal terms.

  "The #Trump admn announced that it’s pausing $1 billion in #Medicare & #Medicaid payments to California & Minnesota [two states that strongly resisted Trump's #ICE attacks], accusing the states of widespread fraud... states have appealed these cuts in court and won. #Minnesota & #California will likely sue to get their funding back, and they’ll have plenty of evidence that the #WhiteHouse is targeting them for vindictive reasons." https://newrepublic.com/post/213335/rf...

  "The same White House that pressured #Romania to free the [ #Tate] brothers and intervened with #DHS on their behalf could have to decide whether to hand them to the #UK for trial on nearly five dozen charges. Blocking the #extradition would extend a pattern of intervention the #WhiteHouse has already tried to minimize....

  Brian Tyler Cohen on being put on Trump's "Media Offenders List": "after seeing how #law firms & universities & #tech companies & legacy #media outlets have all capitulated to #Trump ...I wanted to make sure I used this moment to *not* do what they’ve done even if it would’ve been easier & frankly safer for me to have just quieted down.

  "It shouldn’t be all that surprising that the recent instances of alleged voter fraud are coming from the #Republican Party, the same party that idolizes a county clerk found guilty of tampering with voting machines, celebrates a rule-skirting billionaire, and bows at the altar of an election denier and alleged fraudster." https://newrepublic.com/post/212823/republicans-massachusetts-florida-election-fraud #Trump #GOP #Republicans #Politics #Fraud #Crime #Elections #Voting #News #US #...

  " #DonaldTrump ’s latest attempt to weasel his way out of paying E. Jean Carroll involved a bold-faced lie to a federal judge. In a legal filing... Trump’s attorneys asked Judge Lewis Kaplan not to release some of the funds he owes to the beleaguered columnist on the basis that the president’s petition for a new hearing was still pending before the Supreme Court. The only hiccup: The #SupremeCourt had rejected Trump’s petition filing." https://newrepublic.com/post/212836/donald-trump-...

  A Danish reporter asks (Sect General of NATO & former Prime Minister of the Netherlands) Mark Rutte: "You sit next to #DonaldTrump at moments when he talks about conquering Greenland, talks about lashing out at allies like Spain... things it doesn't seem like the old Mark Rutte would approve of. Does this have any affect on your self-respect when you sit there and say nothing?" [I wish more reporters would ask this of more political leaders.] #Trump #NATO #MarkRutte #Journ...

  "On the one hand, yes, it is very nice that the #SupremeCourt rejected the #Trump admn’s BLATANTLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL order to unilaterally end the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship. This is nice in the same way that it is nice when a person walking past you on the street doesn’t pull out a gun and shoot you. The Court’s majority followed the Constitution. Yay....

  "The #SupremeCourt declined to hear Trump’s appeal of the $5 million verdict won by E. Jean Carroll. This means #Trump has officially run out of appeals. There is no more legal path forward for him on this. We can now say, with full and final certainty, that #DonaldTrump has been adjudicated a sexual abuser and found civilly liable for sexually assaulting and defaming E. Jean Carroll. Pay up, Donald." https://www.meidasplus.com/i/204147740/major-supreme-court-decisions-and-more-to-come...

  "Developers talk not just about how the #AI output is often flawed, but that using AI to get the #job done is often a more time consuming, harder, and more frustrating experience because they have to go through the output and fix its mistakes. More concerning, developers who use AI at work report that they feel like they are de-skilling themselves and losing their ability to do their #jobs as well as they used to." - @404mediaco https://www.404media.co/software-developers-say...

  "My big takeaway from this chart is that all but three groups support impeaching Trump: Republicans, Trump’s 2024 voters, and seniors (who oppose impeachment by 4 points, 47-51)... But also of note is that 21% of Trump’s own 2024 voters now say he should be impeached. That’s roughly one out of every five of the people who put him back in office." https://www.gelliottmorris.com/p/2026-04-22-strength-in-numbers-verasight-impeachment-polling #DonaldTrump #Trump #Impeach #Impeach...
