“A group of new accounts on the prediction market Polymarket made highly specific, well-timed bets on whether the U.S. and Iran would reach a ceasefire on April 7, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in profits for these new customers”

Liberals now have significant majorities on all three "Blue Wall" state supreme courts: 5-2 in Wisconsin, 5-2 in Pennsylvania, 6-1 in Michigan. Their latest win, tonight in Wisconsin, is a romp: Chris Taylor leads by about 20 points, having so far flipped 15+ counties that went for Trump in 2024.

Chris Taylor won Kenosha County, the site of Rittenhouse’s massacre & a county that Trump won 3 times.

Last year, Susan Crawford won 10 counties won by Donald Trump in 2024. Chris Taylor is on track to win at least 24 (!) of those Trump-won counties.

Another Dem win in Wisconsin: In traditionally red WOOD COUNTY, voters reelected a county judge who was appointed by Democratic Governor Tony Evers. Emily Nolan-Plutchak, the winner, is a longtime public defender. She defeated a Republican DA.

M4L candidates took over the school board after the COVID-19 pandemic, running on a platform of being anti-vaccine mandates. But then they started doing even dumber shit, like banning books and forbidding faculty from teaching 21st Century history. We have had enough of these games.

I am ecstatic. All three of the Moms for Liberty backed candidates lost in my local school board election tonight. Even this deep red Waukesha County, WI community doesn't like conservative politics in our schools. 🇺🇸🏫🗳

It's happened: Wisconsin Republicans' mighty suburban WOW wall is now breached. Chris Taylor, the liberal candidate for supreme court, actually carried Ozaukee County today. (Flashback to last decade: Romney won here by 30%.)

Oof..this is making me so emotional. Thank you to all my fellow Wisconsinites and others who helped us. Janet Protaseiwicz, Rebecca Dallet, Jill Karofsky (our chief justice), Chris Taylor, and Susan Crawford.

Pure fucking lunacy

NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war. 100-130 ships pass the Strait daily. Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.

Trump won this district by 37 points in 2024.

“.. Netanyahu and his team outlined conditions they portrayed as pointing to near-certain victory: Iran’s ballistic missile program could be destroyed in a few weeks. The regime would be so weakened that it could not choke off the Strait of Hormuz ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

Fucking 🤡 Republicans literally do not know how to govern. They killed funding for public broadcasting ("Corp for Public Broadcasting") in Trump's "BBB," and now that the midterms are closing in they are secretly trying to restore that funding. www.rawstory.com/amp/trump-bi...

As a journalist, I find the mere fact that this insipid event is happening this year to be several steps beyond disqualifying. You’re watchdogs, not lapdogs. Have some damn integrity.

CNN reports gas prices have experienced the largest raw dollar increase since 1991 under Trump. His economic disapproval rating has reached a staggering 69%, the worst ever recorded for a second-term president.

Excellent, depressing analysis which mirrors everything which I wrote here - NATO, US standing and influence, Pax Americana, nuclear taboo, liberalism, global cooperation on world threats, all being shredded by this rogue President.

This isn't legal analysis. It's idiocy: "A White House official added that electric plants are legitimate military targets because destroying them could foment civil unrest, complicating Tehran’s path to a nuclear device." That would be an F on a bar exam. And WSJ does a good job exposing it. 1/

ROSENBERG, on jobs data: “.. If there was a blemish, it was that the workweek sagged -0.3% to 34.2 hours. .. in a holistic sense, .. payrolls actually declined by -284k: Tack on the revisions, and it is really -353k. .. Sorry, but we are not gullible enough to be a buyer of this report ..”

Seemingly all of Silicon Valley is convinced that A.I. will bring on the end of work, or at the very least massive job losses. Economists have been skeptical, bordering on dismissive. But lately that has begun to change. Economists are starting to take A.I. seriously. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/03/b...

FT reports that the EU Energy Commissioner says the bloc may implement fuel rationing or release oil from strategic reserves as part of its options.
