To my fellow CA voters: Let’s not hand the keys over to Republicans in November. But that starts in the June primary. Our economy is outperforming the entire country, and they’re still mad at the scoreboard. There’s work to do, but let’s not screw this up and let Republicans wreck our state.

The leaked phone call revealed that Hungary's far-right leader told Putin that he was prepared to help Moscow “in any way" to win the war in Ukraine. www.thedailybeast.com/jd-vances-tr...

This post is still live on X.

1. Impeaching POTUS doesn’t automatically impeach the VP and cabinet* 2. US officials can’t be tried at The Hague** 3. Trump is in the Epstein files *they have to be impeached individually **we would have to ratify the Rome treaty with a 2/3 vote in the Senate

This week Israel & USA: •Bombed & obliterated Rafi Nai Synagogue in Iran •Murdered 300+ Muslim & Christian civilians in Lebanon •Threatened the Pope, forcing him to cancel his trip to the US And claimed to do it all in the name of Christianity & Jesus. Impeach & remove Trump before he kills us all

Automatic draft registration: streamlined, efficient. Automatic voter registration: creeping deep state tyranny.

Wild. And amazing.

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

Trump won WI by less than 1% in 2024. Last night, progressive Chris Taylor defeated her GOP-backed opponent by 20 points in the WI Supreme Court race — flipping longtime Republican strongholds and securing a liberal court majority until 2030. The midterm reckoning is here.

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

"Support the troops by arresting their families, y'all!"

You could have had free healthcare this entire time. The money was always there. Israelis have free healthcare and you don’t.

⚠️ A five-story residential building in Beirut’s southern suburbs has been completely leveled in an Israeli strike

The Hungarian election is about Russian oligarchy and its support of the international far right. That’s why Vance is there. He is a node in that network.

The ceasefire was a complete fiction. While the White House announced one, missiles were still flying across Israel, Iran, and Lebanon. Reality doesn’t match the headline.

All that time Trump was insisting that Iran was begging to make a deal, it was, in fact, Trump who wanted a ceasefire and was begging for a deal, while counting on Pakistan to make it happen. Strongman was so happy to get a deal that he didn't look at what was in it. newrepublic.com/post/208815/...

WATTERS: “Are you mad there’s a ceasefire? Where do you stand?” @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “I stand in reality. There is no ceasefire. It’s a complete fiction.” (From @acyn.bsky.social )

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.

…..WHAT?!?????? www.thelettersfromleo.com/p/the-pentag...

The Trump administration threatened to kill the pope to the Vatican's ambassador and install a antipope in the US.

“.. just days before the White House made adjustments to its tariffs that could benefit ArcelorMittal ..” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/u...

NEWS: Ceasefire is on the verge of collapse—it was never written down and no one knows what the deal is. The Pentagon threatens the Pope and the Catholic Church. Congress seeks to reign in Trump’s war powers tomorrow. Major Epstein developments. I have the latest.

Judge Brian Murphy has blocked Noem's attempted termination of Temporary Protective Status for Ethiopians, for violating Admin Procedure Act. (Same issue being argued before SCOTUS April 29 for Haitians and Syrians.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Well, @annabower.bsky.social, it looks like you can add ‘Who Controls The Strait of Hormuz (WCTSOH)?’ below ‘Who Is the Administrator of DOGE (WITAOD)?’ on your list of important questions the Trump regime refuses to answer.

Watters: Are you happy that there is a ceasefire? Where do you stand? Jessica: I stand in reality that there is no ceasefire.

📌UPDATE: -The Strait of Hormuz is not open. -Israel is still shelling Lebanon. -JD Vance is courting dictators, and pissing off the Pope. -Trump is still lying. In the others words, chaos reigns, and nothing has changed.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Holy Toledo! The liberal for WI Supreme Court exceeded Harris 2024 by 21 points. Largest liberal win in an open seat in 30+ years. GA-14, the Democrat exceeded Harris by 25 pts. Largest Dem special overperformance since AL 2017 Senate. All suggests an easy Dem win in the House.”

A federal judge in Vermont rules that Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova’s visa was unlawfully canceled after she was detained at an airport over biological samples she was carrying.

"Clark et al. (2016) showed that decisions made in the next few decades will lock in sea level rise, ice sheet loss, and temperature change that persist for thousands of years — well beyond any planning horizon human civilization has ever contemplated."

Right before Trump bombed Iran, they offered a deal he could’ve bragged about for a decade- “better than Obama” deal. Instead he attacked them for no reason. Now the deal on the table gives Iran control the Strait and lifts all sanctions The Art of the Cave

Highly unusual indeed. Also worth noting that these strikes were almost certainly conducted with US-origin warplanes—thus implicating US legal restrictions on arms exports.

Californians are clear: No more ICE My record speaks for itself. I will always be a fighter and protector for all Californians.

Remember when Trump fawned over his wealthy donors, calling them “rich as hell” while promising to give them tax cuts? That's one campaign promise he didn't break. But everyone else didn't get so lucky. [@itep.org]

While killing dozens of people in Lebanon (MOPH says 112, civil defense counts 250+, until now), Israel still found time to kill another one of our colleagues in Gaza.

BREAKING: Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf says the U.S. has already violated key clauses of Iran’s 10-point framework before negotiations even begin — citing Lebanon ceasefire breaches, a drone incursion, and denial of enrichment rights. He calls talks “unreasonable” under current conditions. 1/

FUN FACT: The Hormuz Strait remained open during the entire Biden and Obama administrations.

Iran's parliament speaker now says a ceasefire is “unreasonable” — mentioning Israel’s continued bombing of Lebanon

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

The enormity of the stupidity is becoming apparent.

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.

EGYPT'S FOREIGN MINISTRY SAYS ISRAEL'S ATTACKS ON LEBANON ON WEDNESDAY AFTER IRAN-U.S. CEASEFIRE REFLECT 'PREMEDITATED INTENT' BY ISRAEL TO UNDERMINE REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL EFFORTS TO REDUCE ESCALATION

Fox News: "Breaking right now -- Iranian state media says Iran is closing the Strait of Hormuz"

Trump can only be removed under the 25th Amendment with the actions of this Republican vice president, this Republican cabinet, and this Republican-controlled Congress. So, if you're asking what Democrats are doing today, I'm not sure you understand how this all works.
