April Fool's Day is cancelled

As long as the OAFPOTUS stays in office, the world stupidity quotient will remain too high for effective April fooling. I mean, just look at all this:

• The OAFPOTUS has declared victory in Iran by capitulating to everything Iran demanded and pretending they're not laughing at us. If only we still had allies, yes?
• The Strait of Hormuz has remained effectively closed since February 28th, which matters because we're now receiving the last oil shipments from before the war. Hello $200 oil.
• Despite Iran's well-documented terrorism campaigns of the past, the OAFPOTUS's droogs have decided to spend antiterrorism resources going after the non-existent "Antifa" groups, because fascists generally don't like anti-fascists.
• As the Department of Homeland Security continues to act like the OAFPOTUS's personal Sturmabteilung, Radley Balko is working on an updated edition of his book The Rise of the Warrior Cop. Says Balko, "as I’ve looked into these cases at a more granular level while researching the new edition, I’ve been struck again by just how pervasive, depraved, and diabolical the lying has become. They lie about everything. When they’re caught in a lie, they lie again. They lie when the facts aren’t on their side, but also when they are. And they never, ever admit that they lied."
• The usual pattern of Republican administrations breaking just enough that Democratic administrations spend the first two years fixing them may not work this time around, so maybe we need a more radical approach in 2029? Or even 2027?
• Matt Yglesias points out the obvious problems with billionaires.
• Jennifer Rubin has some good news after last weekends third No Kings protests topped the second iteration as the biggest mass protests in US history: mass movements do topple autocracies.
• Jeff Maurer wants us to admit that "Kamala and Hillary sucked:" "[F]emale candidates become viable if you accept one simple truth: Hillary and Kamala both kind of sucked as candidates."

Finally, in honor of the holiday, The Daily WTF has a corporate language compliance generator free to use. It's hard to argue with the mission statement: "With blockchain, we are agentically communing executive assistants to forging AI-forward cross-collateralization."
