A Democratic National Committee social media post appeared to snub the party's most recent occupant of the Oval Office, former President Joe Biden. "Happy Easter!" reads a post on the DNC's official X account, which included photos of former Presidents Jimmy Carter, John F. Kennedy, Barack Obama, and Bill Clinton. But the post did not include a photo of Biden, the party's most recent president.
A Tesla owner in California is seeking a class-action lawsuit on behalf of all other Tesla owners in the state after he says the company has been systematically altering odometers so their warranties expire faster. Lead plaintiff Nyree Hinton said he bought a used Model Y in December 2022 with 36,772 miles on it. But after several visits to Tesla for repairs completed under warranty, he said, he began to notice odd quirks with the odometer, which regularly overestimated his mileage by at least 15% but sometimes as much as 117%. From March 2023 to June 2023, for instance, Hinton said, his car logged 72.35 miles per day despite him having a consistent driving routine of just 20 miles per day. After the vehicle's 50,000-mile basic warranty expired in July 2023, Hinton said, the odometer then began to underreport his daily usage. In April 2024, the lawsuit alleges, the Model Y reported around 50 average daily miles, despite Hinton driving a 100-mile commute two to three days a week.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about forthcoming strikes in Yemen on March 15 in a private Signal group chat that included his wife, brother and personal lawyer," the New York Times reports. "Some of those people said that the information Mr. Hegseth shared on the Signal chat included the flight schedules for the F/A-18 Hornets targeting the Houthis in Yemen " essentially the same attack plans that he shared on a separate Signal chat the same day that mistakenly included the editor of The Atlantic."
Donald Trump's counterterrorism czar Sebastian Gorka claims Americans who don't support the president's anti-immigration agenda and deportations policy are "on the side of the terrorists," and suggested advocates for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran father living in Maryland who was mistakenly deported to a brutal prison in his home country, could be prosecuted for "aiding and abetting."
American soybean farmers are worried about whether their biggest customer will keep buying. More than half of US soybean exports went to China in 2024, but the price just went up 135 per cent under the tariffs China installed in response to President Donald Trump's 145 per cent tax on Chinese imports. "Farmers deal with bad weather. We deal with pests. We deal with tractors breaking," said Ms Heather Feuerstein, who owns a farm near Grand Rapids, Michigan. "That's our lives." But tariffs? "This is a threat to our continued way of life," she said. Read more

So, amid all this turmoil, how are all the Donald Trump voters feeling? Has buyer's remorse set in? Are they starting to wonder whether voting in a convicted felon as president " a man who has declared bankruptcy six times " might not have been the wisest move?
Not according to the polls. Rather, the US appears to be a nation of dith Piafs: they regret rien. I'm not saying that disillusioned Republicans don't exist; do enough digging and you can certainly find a few. And journalists have been doing a lot of digging. During Trump's first term, there was a steady stream of media pieces profiling the regretful Trump voter. The genre has remained popular through the first few months of Trump 2.0. But, according to a much-discussed segment by CNN senior data reporter Harry Enten this week, polling proves that the idea of "regretful" Trump voters is "more of a media creation than anything else".

The leopards have been feasting. Today we're checking in on two big Trump-loving constituencies: truckers and soy farmers. Truckers love Donald Trump. Per FEC donation data, truck drivers are nearly three-quarters Republican, making it one of the reddest professions. You can imagine why. This group is mostly rural, mostly white and male, and tied to a job that lives and dies by the cost of fossil fuels, particularly diesel"which can account for up to 40% of costs. They also hated environmental mandates to electrify their fleets. Per Econ 101, as demand for products craters in the face of Trump's chaotic tariffs and the supply of truckers remains the same, what does that mean for prices? Exactly. It is also not surprising that Mack Trucks is laying off about 20% of its workforce in response to the economic havoc Trump's tariffs are generating. Read more

Most of the Ukrainians had been held in captivity for nearly three years. The Russian EPWs were most likely not undernourished like the Ukrainian POWs. Read more
Dr. Keren Yarhi-Milo, Dean of the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) at Columbia University, is a former IDF intelligence officer and official at Israel's UN Mission in NYC. Yarhi-Milo played a significant role in drumming up public hysteria about a supposed wave of intolerable anti-Semitism sweeping over the campus. Dr Yarhi-Milo laid the groundwork for the extensive nationwide crackdown on civil liberties and ICE detentions, including Mahmoud Khalil. Pro-Israel oligarchs donated $100 million to Columbia. Since Sep 2000 and by a factor of 20:1, at least 62,688 Palestinians have been killed compared to 2,916 Israelis.

"The Proximal Origin of SARS-CoV-2" publication " which was used repeatedly by public health officials and the media to discredit the lab leak theory " was prompted by Dr. Fauci to push the preferred narrative that COVID-19 originated naturally. Dr. Fauci's Senior Advisor, Dr. David Morens, deliberately obstructed the Select Subcommittee's investigation, likely lied to Congress on multiple occasions, unlawfully deleted federal COVID-19 records, and shared nonpublic information about NIH grant processes with EcoHealth President Dr. Peter Daszak. Public health officials often mislead the American people through conflicting messaging, knee-jerk reactions, and a lack of transparency. Most egregiously, the federal government demonized alternative treatments and disfavored narratives, such as the lab leak theory, in a shameful effort to coerce and control the American people's health decisions.
1) Ukrainian intelligence releases the voice intercept of a Russian commander losing his temper and ordering his soldiers to shoot at their own comrades in a neighboring unit. "F**k the 55th, shoot them, that's the battalion commander's order, shoot them."

6 Jan terrorist Peter Marocco, the Trumpf junta apparatchik in charge of dismantling USAID, left a meeting at the White House last week to return to his office at the State Department. But when he arrived, Marocco could not enter the building: security told him he was no longer an employee there. Word of Marocco's firing quickly tore through the GOP and MAGA ecosystem, startling Trumpf's loyalists who viewed the aide as part of an elite cohort of administration true believers. Loud voices on the right piled on Marco Rubella, accusing him of undermining their disruptive agenda. Rubella has also differed with Trumpf regarding Ukraine and Russia: www.msn.com Read more

Senior adviser Dan Caldwell, Hegseth deputy chief of staff Darin Selnick and Colin Carroll, the chief of staff to Deputy Defense Secretary Stephen Feinberg, were placed on leave this week in an ongoing leak probe.
