I can't do timelines bc time difference, esp week after Daylight Savings, but for much of the day Trump carried on as if Iran wasn't blowing up: YEAH! JOBS!!! Yeah! DHS!! Me! NCAA!!! He did calls w/at least 2 journos. Then at 4:10, WH called a lid and claimed he'd been focused on Iran all day.

I don't know whether the WH just took half a day to figure out they should stop ignoring the possibly dead possibly captured guy in Iran, or whether they started to figure out that w/FOUR aircraft hit meant they were wildly over optimistic. At which point they started to play grown-up.

I realize that it may be a shock to some.

But sometimes, North America ISN’T AT THE CENTER OF EVERYTHING.

The crazy thing to me about this headline is that it isn’t a careless typo. There’s an editor in the international section of NYT who actually thinks this is what NATO stands for and typed this headline and thought: “Oooh, that’s pithy.”

Of course.

Project 2025 suggested privatizing it and de-unionizing it.

So here we are.

Jeanne Shaheen can be a PITA, but (unlike Fetterman) she at least understands policy. She and Roger Wicker wrote a letter to Bessent and Rubio asking why the fuck they let sanctioned Russians into DC last Friday. They do cite RU targeting help to Iran. www.foreign.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

@FritzAdalis @catsalad we named her that because the color saturation of her photo on the shelter website made her nose look very orange! When we saw her in person we were already fond of the name, so we kept it.

Government shouldn't mandate corporate censorship on your devices. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/print-blocking-anti-consumer-permission-print-part-1
Print Blocking is Anti-Consumer - Permission to Print Part 1

When legislators give companies an excuse to write untouchable code, it’s a disaster for everyone. This time, 3D printers are in the crosshairs across a growing number of states. Even if you’ve never used one, you’ve benefited from the open commons these devices have created—which is now under threat. We need to roundly reject these onerous restraints on creation.
