Well, this is insane.

BREAKING: Trump's financial disclosure was released today, showing he earned $1.4 BILLION from his crypto ventures. This grifter president is monetizing the presidency, and Congress needs to act, NOW!

Wow, New York!!! Brad Lander, Claire Valdez, & Avila Chevalier (all of Zohran Mamdani’s endorsements) have won tonight 🎉🎊 Bad night for the corporate shills & genocide apologists, and a great night for those who believe in freedom & justice for all!

The delusional war-mongering crowd pushed an insane & unwinnable war. The war inevitably forced a tough choice on Trump: diplomatic capitulation or economic ruin. Trump wisely chose to save the economy. If you’re mad about the deal, blame no one besides the lunatics who pushed this insane war.

As a (welcomed but fragile) deal with Iran is announced, keep an eye on Palestine. Whenever Israel is forcibly restrained elsewhere in the region, it notoriously takes out its frustration on the people it can brutalize with virtually no cost.

Sit with this thought for a second: Elon Musk could give a million dollars to EVERY. SINGLE. PERSON. IN. DC. and still be the richest man in the world. This is grotesque!

BREAKING: The House just demanded an end to Trump’s stupid, illegal & unpopular war on Iran. The Constitution puts the power to wage war in the hands of Congress. This lawless administration needs to listen to the American people, NOW!

Not only does Trump still insist the assault on democracy on Jan. 6 was "right," he also wants to reward the violent insurrectionists with YOUR tax dollars. Disgusting and unacceptable!

The fact that a 23 year old can make Scott Jennings have a meltdown like this simply by politely cornering him with an argument he can't respond to is really impressive. Kudos, @adammockler.com!

As our co-president @lisa-pubcitizen.bsky.social put it, "this is a craven attempt to silence dissent" by Trump's authoritarian administration. We condemn this appalling move, and we stand in solidarity with the @splcenter.org

"We are dealing with a really ugly situation where American citizenship does not mean anything under this administration unless you're white" @omarbaddar.bsky.social tells @deanobeidallah.bsky.social about the arrest of award winning journalist Ahmed Shihab Eldin.

My friend & former colleague Ahmed Shihab-Eldin has been detained for 6 weeks in Kuwait over social media posts. The Committee to Protect Journalists is rightly calling for his release. Journalism is not a crime. Free Ahmed! cpj.org/2026/04/cpj-...

Today, Israel is collapsing apartment buildings all over Lebanon, including central Beirut, leaving an untold death toll. This mass terrorism is either an attempt to sabotaging Trump's ceasefire, or a final tantrum of a strategically defeated Israel eager to manufacture a mere image of victory.

Trump just announced a 2-week ceasefire, but “subject to the Islamic Republic of Iran agreeing to the COMPLETE, IMMEDIATE, and SAFE OPENING of the Strait of Hormuz.” This condition is extremely unlikely to materialize, so either Trump is unilaterally backing down, or the ceasefire is imaginary.

The lunatic emperor is sounding exceedingly desperate. Iranian civilians will pay the biggest & most immediate price of his madness, but the ripple effect will not spare much of the world. Brace for the dark days are ahead.

At what point will they learn that embarrassing themselves before the world like circus monkeys for his approval, to say nothing of trampling the rule of law for him, doesn’t spare them his capricious wrath? He’ll use them & toss them like disposable utensils.

Somewhere in the middle of the series of lies & brags & gaslighting, Trump is simultaneously announcing a massive escalation in his war on Iran AND promising the war is on the verge of ending b/c the objectives have been met. We’re ruled by a lunatic emperor.

Israel is waging a campaign of mass terrorism against Lebanon to ethnically cleanse & take over South Lebanon. The world must stand up & say no!

America lost 7000 soldiers to take Iwo Jima in a war where America was attacked first. In this illegal war of aggression, how many Americans does Lindsey want to kill for Israel?

Not content with the destruction & violence he’s unleashed so far at home & abroad, now Trump is describing his political opposition in this country as “the greatest enemy” after falsely bragging that he’s killed the last enemy. Are we going to keep pretending things are fine?

T-minus 47 hours until the biggest global energy crisis in history. Never has someone this stupid ever had this much power or this much hubris. We are accelerating toward catastrophe that only Netanyahu has been dreaming of 40 years. Brace yourselves for the dark days ahead.

Javier Bardem brings it home at the Oscars to huge applause: "No to war and FREE PALESTINE!" 🕊️🇵🇸

President Eric Cartman already destroyed 100% of Iran’s military capabilities, but for some mysterious reason he has to threaten NATO if they don’t immediately come to fight the illegal war he already won.

This is so unbelievably sick! Thousands of people (including hundreds of children) are being killed in this war, & the assault on oil facilities is causing an environmental disaster & a global economic crisis, but for the depraved Trump regime this is “fun.” 🤦‍♂️

The fascist Trump regime is waging a war on the free press. Trump has moronically dragged us into a catastrophic war of choice that is killing thousands of people & wrecking the world economy, & he’s lashing out in a predictable authoritarian manner that must be resisted.

“Iran itself” is now dead, says the lunatic emperor. I guess he’s moved on from pretending to be on the side of the Iranian people, and is now openly saying he’s in it to destroy their country.

We live in a country where the overwhelming majority of Americans oppose this illegal war of aggression, but the president can still launch it and lie shamelessly about it, while countless Americans get killed and injured for it -- and we call this "democracy."

Update: • Israel bombed oil refineries, causing black rain that burns skin & lungs to cover Iran’s capital • Trump & Israel bombed fresh water supplies in Iran • Trump justified this by calling Iranians “among the most evil people on earth” • Israel massacred 400 in Lebanon, including 83 children

Trump’s war of aggression on Iran is strategically catastrophic, legally impermissible, and morally abominable. Thousands of families have already been devastated throughout the region so Netanyahu can play emperor. This war needs to end, now.

There is an authentic pro-democracy movement in Iran that protests against their repressive government and fights for genuine change from within, & this movement is undermined every time an imperial outside force bombs Iran & kills Iranians in the false name of “freedom.”

Here are 4 Americans whose families have been devastated just because Trump wants to help Netanyahu play emperor of the region. Hundreds of Iranian families, including the parents of 100+ little girls, have also been destroyed for the same reason. Thousands more to come. Unforgivable!

Israel has been continuously bombing Lebanon almost every day for over a year. Anyone who tells you “Hezbollah broke the ceasefire” is either lying to you, or is just so incredibly biased that their brain genuinely doesn’t register Israeli bombings of Lebanon as ceasefire violations.

5 things to understand about the war on Iran 🧵

Donald Trump & Israel have started an illegal & completely avoidable war on Iran based on lies. It's not about the nuclear question (solved by Obama in 2015), it's about regime change to complete Israel's regional dominance. Thousands of people will die, & the world will never be the same again.

If Trump triggers a catastrophic regional war by attacking Iran, be on the lookout for Israel to escalate its genocidal ethnic cleansing of Palestinians under “the fog of war.” Total impunity for Israel is not guaranteed post the Trump regime, so Netanyahu feels the pressure to act soon.

If 26 Americans or Israelis or Germans were murdered today, it would be the top headline on every network. They keep telling you “the war is over” while this happens, because their idea of a peaceful, “normal” order is one where Israel gets to mass murder Palestinians at will.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

BREAKING: A Palestinian infant has died due to the severe cold gripping Gaza, as a shortage of aid caused by Israel’s restrictions and a lack of heating continue to worsen living conditions. 🔴 Follow our LIVE updates: aje.io/llxy98

Reflect for a moment on the stupidity of looking at Trump's oil theft in Venezuela, his kidnapping of migrants who die in ICE custody or get exiled to torture gulags, his support for Israel's ongoing slaughter of Palestinians, & STILL concluding he's worried about Iranians' safety & freedom.

I know there's a thousand of these shameless self-contradictions that are fun to mock, but it's hard to laugh at this one, as the unhinged emperor sets the stage for what could be the deadliest blunder in American foreign policy in decades.

Oh yeah for sure. Definitley try to get non-insured individual pricing at your local hospital. Definitely a Good Idea.

Welcome to 2026, where attempting to drive away from scary men with guns is vicious terrorism, where shooting a mother through the side window of a car is self defense, and where a shooter walking away unharmed is magically fighting for his life in the hospital.

Well, 2026 is off to an insane start.

President Eric Cartman, commander-in-chief of the most powerful fighting force ever, just casually kidnapped a foreign leader & took control of his country, openly for the purpose of getting our companies in to extract their oil. We live in an SNL skit, but w/real consequences for millions of ppl.

W/out congressional authorization or popular support, Trump bombed Venezuela’s capital & kidnapped its president, just weeks after Trump admitted on TV that this is about taking Venezuela’s oil, & after months of theft & murder on the high seas. To call this admin “lawless” is an understatement.

Confronting a congressional candidate whose campaign is built on a message of hate:

The President is not only making the murder of Rob Reiner about himself, but is seemingly suggesting he had it coming on account of Reiner’s criticism of the president. This is deranged and disgusting behavior.

Pause & reflect for a moment on how literally the most sinister & powerful forces in our country got together to coordinate & bankroll a MASSIVE smear campaign to defeat Mamdani, & they failed. Just when things in this country & around the world looked bleak, a glimmer of hope.
