Q: “Now that you’ve met with [Trump], you’ve spoken with him multiple times, do you still think he’s a fascist?”

Q: “And do you tell him that?”

Zohran Mamdani: “Yes”

While you've been focused on Iran.

Afghanistan and Pakistan are still fighting and it is getting worse.

Tension is rising again on the Thai-Cambodia border with Thailand fortifying occupied territory that remains disputed.

Rwanda/M23 and the Democratic Republic of Congo are still fighting.

The Sudanese Army has made some progress against the RSF in Sudan where genocide continues.

South Sudan is still restive after the 2018 ceasefire and power sharing deal was shattered in 2025.

Russia is tightening its grip on Algeria.

Myanmar junta made civilians dig their own graves and executed them.

Ukraine has essentially halted Russian advances for over a month while gaining the initiative in Dnipropetrovsk.

A Russian drone violated Romanian airspace.

There are signs Israel is preparing a significant land invasion of southern Lebanon, possibly in coordination with the Lebanese government.

The Houthis are considering attacking ships in the Red Sea again in support of Iran, only chatter for now.

700,000 acres of Nebraska has burned since THURSDAY and 24 wildfires are 0% contained. Largest wildfire in state history. State of emergency declared.

South Dakota wildfires in the Rapid City area are exploding in size, and if the state doesn't get more rain by May, farmers will start to cull their cattle herds. Weather forecast is very negative.

Hawaii is having near historic flooding.

Total Russian Internet blackout in Moscow enters second week, St. Petersburg enters third week. Speculation that Kremlin is worried about civil unrest as it tightens Internet controls.

Orban's Fidesz Party is down 20 points in the polls for upcoming elections and down 41 points from last election. Huge anti-regime protests.

Afrikaners who came to the US as refugees are leaving after promised government handouts didn't materialize, work was hard to find, and concerns that immigration policy could turn against them on a whim.

Cuba will completely run out of fuel in the next 10 days, a "Year 0" event.

Oil output in Venezuela has doubled from 400K bpd to 800K.

@vcdgf555 They also denied the reports of the ones downed in Kuwait until the footage went viral. Can't really trust what they say while they're actively trying to control the narrative

LMFAO when you lay it out like this the absurdity is just STAGGERING.

[MM  @adgirlMM]

Remember when planes were crashing and Sean Duffy tried to blame it on DEI....

And then Elon and the DOGE bros broke our government, stole data, and got rid of USAID resulting in the deaths of 600,000 impoverished humans...

And then Pete Hegseth disclosed military strikes in an unsecure Signal chat and started blowing up boats at sea...

And then Tulsi Gabbard held a press conference trying to implicate Obama in fake crimes and said he would be arrested...

And then Pam Bondi covered up the Epstein files, gave Ghislaine Maxwell special privileges, and started "prosecuting" all of Trump's enemies at his request via tweet...

And then Kristi Noem's armed, masked ICE agents shot and killed two innocent Americans in the street.

That escalated quickly.

[Joshua Reed Eakle 🗽 @JoshEakle]

🚨BREAKING

It looks like ICE just shot and killed someone else in Minneapolis.

⚡️This has nothing to do with soldiers’ financial well-being and everything to do with conditioning the public to a new fiscal logic.

1. This is a behavioral test, not a benefit

The amount is deliberately small enough to avoid budget backlash and large enough to feel personal.

What is being tested:
•speed of disbursement
•public approval of targeted cash
•narrative elasticity around “deserved recipients”
•market tolerance for discretionary payouts outside normal budget cycles

This is rehearsal. You do not rehearse with a trillion dollars.

2. This is fiscal signaling to the bond market and the public at the same time

The U.S. interest burden is exploding.
Rates cannot stay high forever without breaking something.
Cuts are politically radioactive.

So the system chooses a third path:
•keep spending
•make it emotionally defensible
•fragment recipients into groups people will not oppose

Paying soldiers is the safest possible cohort to normalize continued cash outflows.

3. This is about loyalty under stress

States that feel stable do not do symbolic payouts.
States that sense rising internal and external pressure do.

Direct cash to soldiers is a quiet admission that:
•recruitment is fragile
•retention is fragile
•legitimacy must be reinforced materially
•words alone no longer bind people to institutions

Money talks when belief weakens.

4. This fits a broader pattern you are already seeing

Zoom out and connect the dots:

•rising interest expense
•explicit encouragement of stock ownership
•targeted cash transfers
•growing acceptance of deficits
•rhetorical normalization of “dividends” instead of “welfare”

This is the architecture of managed liquidity politics.

The state is learning to drip-feed money where it stabilizes the system most efficiently.

5. This has long-term consequences that people are underestimating

Once dividends exist, expectations form.
Once expectations form, withholding becomes destabilizing.
Once withholding becomes destabilizing, spending becomes mandatory.

That is how fiscal dominance becomes irreversible.

You do not walk this back without crisis.

6. This is bullish for hard assets, full stop

Not because of the $1,776.
Because of what it reveals about the trajectory.

The system is choosing:
•spending over restraint
•optics over discipline
•cohesion through cash
•narrative management over balance sheets

That environment eats fiat credibility slowly, then suddenly.

The real truth

This is a stressed system paying for order, loyalty, and time.

And when a system starts buying time with money, it is already telling you how the story ends.

@Omowale99949437 Pretty sure congress passed that bill with a republican majority in both houses. Fuck Bill in general, but all he did was not veto it so you can’t lay this on him

[Daniel Dale @ddale8]

President Trump did a whole lot of lying on "60 Minutes." Here's a fact check of 18 of his false claims to Norah O’Donnell, the vast majority of them previously debunked:

- It's not true grocery prices "are down"; Trump told this lie even after O’Donnell told him they're up
- It's not true there is now "no inflation" (it’s at 3%) or that it's "less than 2%" (it's at 3%)
- It's not true it was "my idea, which nobody, frankly, had thought of," to have AI facilities generate their own power on-site (they were already starting to do that while he was out of office, with Biden administration encouragement)
- It's not true “$17 trillion” is being invested in the US “right now" (this fictional figure is nearly double the White House's own wildly inflated "announcements" figure)
- It's not true each alleged drug boat "kills 25,000 Americans" (this figure plainly makes no sense given US overdose death totals)
- It's not true some recent former presidents invoked the Insurrection Act "28 times" (Ulysses S. Grant has the record because he invoked it on six occasions)
- It's not true Trump has ended "eight wars" (among other issues, his list includes two situations that weren't wars at all, one war still going full tilt in the DRC, and the Gaza conflict where killing also continues)
- It's not true the Kamala Harris interview Trump sued "60 Minutes" over aired "two days" before the election (it was more than four full weeks before Election Day)
- It's not true Biden gave Ukraine "$350 billion" (inspector general says the US had disbursed $94 billion through June 2025 and appropriated $93 billion more, including funds spent in the US)
- It's not true foreign countries pay his tariffs (US importers make the payments and often pass on costs to consumers)
- It's not true Trump inherited the worst inflation of all time (it was 3% the month he took office, same as now, and even the 9.1% Biden-era peak in 2022 was not close to the all-time record)
- It's not true the 2020 election was "rigged and stolen" (his usual lie) 
- It's not true the Presidential Records Act says he was allowed to have classified documents at his home post-presidency (it says all presidential records are to be in government custody the moment a president leaves office)
- It's not true Trump never instructed the Justice Department to go after Comey and James (he explicitly pressured the head of the department to do so in a social media post we all saw)
- It's not true Democrats are trying to give $1.5 trillion to illegal immigrants in the shutdown battle (even the White House's own disputed figure is a small fraction of that) or that Biden let in 25 million migrants (it's well under half that even if you count millions who were rapidly expelled)
- It's not true foreign leaders have emptied their prisons to somehow insert criminals into the US as migrants (Trump's own team has never been able to corroborate this story experts say is baseless)
- It's not true Nancy Pelosi flipped out after finding out his controversial 2019 call with Zelensky “was taped” (there remains no known US tape; what Trump released was a rough transcript, which bolstered rather than undermined Pelosi’s move toward impeachment)
