The Bureau of Economic Analysis’s March trade report finds US exports at “$320.9 billion, $6.2 billion more than February exports. March imports were $381.2 billion, $8.7 billion more than February imports. The March increase in the goods and services deficit reflected an increase in the goods deficit of $4.1 billion to $88.7 billion and an increase in the services surplus of $1.6 billion to $28.4 billion. Year-to-date, the goods and services deficit decreased $211.2 billion, or 55.0 percent, from the same period in 2025. Exports increased $100.2 billion or 12.0 percent. Imports decreased $111.0 billion or 9.1 percent. The average goods and services deficit decreased $4.2 billion to $57.6 billion for the three months ending in March,” and damn if that doesn’t look like another Trump failure given his moronic fixation on the trade deficit as inherently a bad thing.

Editor’s note: The joke about “General Tendies” does not require explanation.

In a stark warning to Iran of what happens to boats that annoy the Trump Administration, US Navy forces blew up a boat in the Carribbean on Monday, killing two and wordlessly sending the message of what’s theoretically possible to do to Tehran’s naval forces, the AP reports.

A long time ago, a merger was proposed…

One that may have saved a struggling airline…

North Carolina MAGA Congressman Chuck Edwards, the douchebag who conferred a medal of McValor to convicted felon President Trump during a press conference that was supposed to be about the destruction of Asheville in 2024, once told a young female aide that she had “written a complex chapter in my heart” in a letter he gave to her as she left his office that Axios obtained.

The young lady is one of several who have reported Edwards acting MAGApropriately to them while working in his office, something which the creppy 60-something uncle denies.

The intro to Spirit Airlines’ Monday Chapter 11 liquidation filing reads “As set forth in the Declaration of Fred Cromer in Support of (I) the Wind-Down Motions and (II) the Motion to Shorten (the ‘Cromer Declaration’), filed contemporaneously, recent geopolitical events resulted in a massive and sustained increase in fuel prices, and a corresponding rapid and unexpected decline in the Debtors’ liquidity situation,” emphasis added on cause but a search shows the words “Biden” and “Buttigieg” completely absent from the paperwork. Wait, gotta check for “Liz Warren” and… nothing.

“Jonathan Karl, of ABC Fake News, made a statement that I called him early morning, the day after the assassination attempt, to ask whether or not HE was OK. No, this was a hit on ME, not HIM, and I didn’t make such a call, why would I do that? He called me, but I didn’t take his call. He just confirmed that to me when he called again. I would say that’s very dishonest reporting. He’s trying to make himself look important. I’m not surprised, because it comes from ABC Fake News!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Monday, eight days after Karl had described the call to ABC’s This Week the Sunday morning after the aborted White House Correspondents’ dinner.

Hilariously MAGA site the Daily Caller carried Karl’s account the next day, in a way that was fairly obviously meant to make Trump look kind, benevolent, and chummy with Karl. “My phone rang shortly after 7 am. My landline, George, actually a number that few people call, and it was President Trump calling. He was, he said at first he was calling to see if I was OK with what happened last night and then he reiterated many of the things he said in his press conference last night, emphasizing the unity that he felt in that moment that he felt at the dinner before the shooting and certainly after with the people who reached out to him,” Karl said, per the fat right propaganda mill.

This bullshit is getting old. Fox News’s Trey Yingst reports convicted felon President Trump said that Iran will be “blown off the face of the Earth” if any American vessels are targeted.

The US Supreme Court on Monday unblocked the Fifth Circuit’s Friday decision blocking the availability of mifepristone via telehealth, mail and pharmacies, the AP’s Meg Kinnard reports.

A group of Senate Republicans are planning a gesture at pretending they still matter and drafting a war powers resolution to be floated if an when convicted felon President Trump unilaterally orders new strikes on Iran, Semafor reports on the learned meaninglessness of Congress.

Warning Fox Business Newsidiot Maria Bartiromo and her audience that “Democrats want to turn America into a one party nation. They’ll turn DC and Puerto Rico into states. They’ll nationalize our elections – automatic registration, mail-in balloting. So we need to stop them,” Republican Wisconsin Senator Ron “RonAnon” Johnson on Monday emphasized the importance of killing the Senate filibuster and solidifying MAGA rule before the Ds gain enough control to do exactly that same thing.

A “senior US official” tells Axios that convicted felon President Trump “wants action. He doesn’t want to sit still. He wants pressure. He wants a deal” with Iran to unfuck the Strait of Hormuz situation that he alone inspired them to weaponize through his fecklessness and incompetence.

The source added that the fat idiot’s “Project Freedom” plan to have the US Navy guard traffic from a distance is the “beginning of a process that could lead to a confrontation with the Iranians.”

“It’s either we’re looking at the real contours of an achievable deal soon, or he’s going to bomb the hell out of them,” the source continued on the state of affairs in the Strait.

“Today, the DCCC announced eight new top-tier candidates added to its highly competitive ‘Red to Blue’ program for the 2026 cycle. This is the first expansion of the group since the announcement of the first round of ‘Red to Blue’ candidates in February. This latest group of candidates will receive strategic guidance, staff resources, training, and fundraising support to ensure they are in the best possible position to win in November,” says a Monday press release from the DCCC.

“As the American people reject House Republicans’ disastrous, cost-spiking agenda, House Democrats have the momentum to take back the majority. These latest additions to our Red to Blue program represent the strength of our people-first message and the broad appeal of our top-tier candidates,” said DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene. “These candidates will win because they are authentic, independent-minded leaders who are rooted in their communities, demonstrating they have what it takes to win and fight to make life more affordable for hardworking families.”

MAGA should never be told that a convicted pedophile and his circle of elite friends raping girls when they are 14 or 16 years old is a Democrat hoax.

Continue: “…to this day no one has been arrested or held accountable. This was what killed MAGA. I don’t have Trump Derangement Syndrome, I have Trump Disappointment Syndrome.”

Will update…

“Hakeem Jeffries, a Low IQ individual, said our Supreme Court is ‘illegitimate.’ After saying such a thing, isn’t he subject to Impeachment? I got impeached for A PERFECT PHONE CALL. Where are you Republicans? Why not get it started? They’ll be doing this to me!” posted convicted felon President Trump on Sunday, six years after it was already explained to him that members of Congress are not subject to impeachment and there’s no chance Jeffries will face any consequences anyway. But it’s not like that ever stopped Trump from saying dumb shit before.

“Our fabulous Rudy Giuliani, a True Warrior, and the Best Mayor in the History of New York City, BY FAR, has been hospitalized, and is in critical condition. What a tragedy that he was treated so badly by the Radical Left Lunatics, Democrats ALL – AND HE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING! They cheated on the Elections, fabricated hundreds of stories, did anything possible to destroy our Nation, and now, look at Rudy. So sad!” the fat bastard later posted, blaming Dems for Rudy’s health.

“On Saturday, May 2, 2026, at approximately 2:49 am, employees at the Multnomah Athletic Club (MAC) reported seeing a vehicle driving slowly around the building before entering the premise. The vehicle continued driving further inside and was soon observed engulfed in flames and employees called 911. First responders to include Portland Fire and Rescue and the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) arrived and located a deceased individual inside the vehicle. Out of an abundance of caution, and due to this happening hours after May Day and the location’s proximity to Providence Park, additional public safety resources to include local and federal agencies were activated to ensure there was no ongoing threat to the community,” says a Portland Police Bureau press release.

“Once a thorough sweep of the neighborhood was complete and the area secure, the Metropolitan Explosive Disposal Unit (MEDU), comprised of multiple partner agencies, turned their focus to the vehicle and interior of the building. During that search, investigators located multiple incendiary devices and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Some of the devices had partially detonated, causing significant damage, while others were found in varying states of activation. Propane tanks were among the materials identified. Specialized robots were used to safely assess, recover, and detonate remaining hazardous devices. Based on the preliminary investigation, detectives believe the driver intentionally entered the building with the intent to deploy explosive devices.”
