The Washington Post is beyond repair. We need to build independent pro-democracy media that doesn't equate Donald Trump's pathological lies with Joe Biden. You can start with subscribing to Democracy Docket. I built it to have only one side -- the truth. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

I hate when fantasy films I made a long time ago begin to come true in real life.

trump out here talking about Iran not having the cards when they are the ones holding a strait.

We fought and lost a war in Iran so that both the Iranians and the Russians could make far more money from oil—the Iranians from tolls, the Russians from higher prices and the end of sanctions. That isn’t just strategic defeat; it’s self-destructive foolishness at a level unknown to military history

1/ @citizenlab.ca just published a major report on Penlink’s “Webloc,” a geolocation surveillance product that turns ad-tech data into tracking power. It shows how mobile advertising IDs and other signals can be used to follow movements at massive scale. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy

European democracies had higher and more persistent post-COVID inflation because they too also printed and distributed money to out-of-work citizens and companies. Was Biden also EU prez for those 4 years? No. Kernen either knows these facts and pretends not to, or worse, he’s utterly ignorant.

BUTTIGIEG: The strait was open before they started this KERNEN: They were close to having 11 nuclear weapons! BUTTIGIEG: We had other ways of dealing with them KERNEN: Like what? Obama's way? BUTTIGIEG: That worked KERNEN: That didn't work! BUTTIGIEG: Did they get a nuclear weapon under Obama?

A reporter asked Trump about Iran charging fees literally yesterday -- and his response was that we were going to get a cut of the action!

here's today's post: "oh, dear! Preznit Fuckwit’s ceasefire is already going fuckity-bye" — that was fast. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

They're oddly quiet when Trump is threatening to end entire civilizations, though…

Hall of fame FT correction

Trump has given European allies just days to commit warships to the Strait of Hormuz, effectively threatening them to clean up his mess, per Der Spiegel — with diplomats calling it an “ultimatum” after a closed-door meeting with NATO’s Mark Rutte.

Literally a hole in the ground countries and corporations can throw bribes into

The Iranian embassies haven’t surrendered.

Since media is no longer talking about it, in 2026 there have been at least 32 school shootings, resulting in 15 deaths and 15 injuries nationally. *everytownresearch.org

FT Exclusive: The idea for a pause in fighting, under which Iran would reopen the Strait of Hormuz, originated from Donald Trump's team, even as the US president escalated threats against the Islamic republic. ft.trib.al/WzzTmSO

This is an account close to the Iranian leadership. We are now seeing the shape of why Iran agreed so enthusiastically to this "ceasefire". They will control and toll the Strait for the first time. They keep their nuclear program. They keep their missiles. What a disaster.

He said the quiet part out loud. You work for us, not him, Blanche.

BLATANT LIE CAUGHT ON CAMERA: Karoline Leavitt: "Lebanon is NOT part of the ceasefire agreement". FACT: Literally the PM of Pakistan, who mediated the ceasefire, tweeted out that it WAS included. He's literally the one who witnessed the deal.

The fact that republicans are getting away with everything and we don’t have much power to stop them is why we kept saying 2024 was an incredibly important election.

Iran posted this. What a humiliation for Trump.

Well, that lasted almost 1 Scaramucci.

*taps the sign*

BREAKING: Donald Trump is attacking CNN after the network aired the full statement from Iran’s Supreme National Security Council saying it achieved a “great victory” and forced the U.S. to accept its 10-point plan. 1/

Iran’s terms Perfectly rational

Color me shocked: "Iran’s Supreme National Security Council said Wednesday it had accepted a two-week ceasefire in the war. Its statement said it would negotiate with the United States in Islamabad beginning Friday."

Apparently no one told Iran it was #TACO Tuesday: "Sirens in central Israel, Sharon and Samaria regions following launches from Iran" Apr 7, 2026, 6:41 PM (GMT+3)

#DonnyTwoWeeks strikes again #TACO

*many people are saying* it sure looks like the White House wrote this for Pakistan’s PM, who posted it then quickly deleted the top part 😬
