A US president uses his for-profit (but money losing) social media site to announce a military strike against a foreign sovereign nation and the seizure by military force of a foreign government leader. Says a lot about where things are at in the US in 2026.

Israel puede matar niños, personas civiles, médicos, cooperantes de ONG y también periodistas. Pero no se puede expulsar a su equipo de una vuelta ciclista. Así está la balanza ahora mismo. Los libros de historia no serán benévolos con la vergüenza más clamorosa de este siglo.

Trump Fired America’s Economic Data Collector. History Shows the Perils. Economists say unbiased data is essential for policymaking, and for democracy.

President Trump’s firing of the top data collector has few U.S. precedents. When other world leaders took similar steps, it rarely ended well. Economists say unbiased data is essential for policymaking, and for democracy.

Donald Trump Shoots the Messenger Classic authoritarian move: When reality doesn’t go your way, deny reality.

Trump's move to fire the government’s statisticians over bad jobs numbers won’t make voters any happier with the economy, Jonathan Chait argues.

El Gobierno, los populares y partidos de izquierda rechazan la deportación masiva que propone Vox Abascal niega que hayan planteado la expulsión de ocho millones de inmigrantes porque no saben cuántos son

Cualquier persona o partido que proponga una deportación masiva en España:
1. No tiene ni idea de economía o de demografía.
2. No tiene memoria. Fuimos emigrantes.
3. Es racista o xenófobo.
4. Los tres puntos anteriores juntos.

YouTube Loosens Rules Guiding the Moderation of Videos

YouTube has encouraged its moderators to leave up videos that may break the platform’s rules, including those with derogatory slurs or misinformation, as long as they're considered to be in the public interest. The shift comes as the GOP pressures YouTube to stop moderating content.

JD Vance and his forty 4x4s visit the Vatican during trip to Rome The US vice-president, a self-styled ‘baby Catholic’ who was baptised in 2019, and his family met senior officials from the Catholic Church

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.

He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

In Fight Over Abrego Garcia’s Deportation, Trump Seeks to Shift the Focus The president is trying to rewrite the narrative of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia’s wrongful deportation as a dispute about illegal immigration rather than the rule of law.

News Analysis: President Trump is trying to rewrite the narrative of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia’s wrongful deportation as a dispute about illegal immigration rather than the rule of law.

Why Trump Paused the Tariffs A stock-market swoon, or even a recession, might not frighten him, but the prospect of a 2008-style meltdown apparently still does.

"If a stock-market swoon, or even a recession, does not frighten Trump, the prospect of a 2008-style meltdown apparently still does. And so the gargantuan trade war is back off, for now," @jonathanbchait.bsky.social writes:
