Americans are staring down a harsh new reality despite the tentative cease-fire in the Middle East: $4 gasoline looks like it’s here to stay.

Good morning. The President’s war encouraged by his Middle Eastern luxury real estate partners appears to have made 🇺🇸 gas permanently $4 a gallon ahead of the summer driving season.

TRUMP AND ELON HAVE STOLEN BILLIONS

The Iran war increasingly looks not only like another shocking humiliation but perhaps the greatest strategic blunder in American military history. trib.al/EqhXo99

Donald Trump fucked kids and committed treason. And he’s an insufferable idiot.

Trump has apparently just posted a video of a woman being murdered on his social media account. I am not watching it and you shouldn’t either. You should, however, call your reps and demand impeachment.

I suggest Congress stop being scared of Trump and start being scared of the American people..: Because we are DONE.

A harebrained psychopath has control of the nuclear codes. It has to stop. Our country, our democracy, can't take another 33 months of what we've gone through over the last 15. We must stop it. Join the fight here: 👉 georgeconwayforcongress.com

Big burly men with tears in their eyes say sir no one has ever blundered greater than you

Texas is giving data centers more than $1 billion in tax breaks each year #Texans: call your #txlege reps/senators. Billionaires don’t need our tax money to steal our water and electricity. Let them go elsewhere. Make them pay their fair share.

"The president’s comments came just days before the White House made adjustments to its tariffs that could benefit ArcelorMittal, by cutting in half the tariffs applied to exports of automotive steel from its Canadian plant." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/08/u...

Israeli aircraft reportedly sprayed glyphosate over border farmlands in southern Lebanon & Syria’s Quneitra in Jan–Feb ‘26. Lebanese tests & UNIFIL samples found concentrations 20–30x above normal, killing crops. Israel said it is to deny militants cover. UN warned of humanitarian/environmental harm

Refuse to let Trump escape into the excuse of using the act of threatening genocide and the use of nuclear weapons as "negotiation techniques".

Congress is completely useless at this point.

Trump wants to hold fraudsters accountable* *Unless they give him money for a pardon…or he’s doing the fraud

losing to iran should cost every republican their job

Current situation in the Strait of Hormuz is untenable. The Strait is not "open." The Iranian toll-collection regime, left in place by Trump-Hegseth deal, is "in flagrant violation of the law of the sea.” Read this learned piece by former Navy Commander @marknevitt.bsky.social

Iran posted this. What a humiliation for Trump.

Donald Trump has done more damage to the United States of America than any foreign enemy accomplished in our nation’s 250-year history.

After yesterday, we know exactly how far Republicans will go to stay silent. All the way to the brink of nuclear apocalypse.

They oversaw a very important social media influence operation for the Kremlin, got caught, fled. And now they're not just back, they're guests at Donald & Melania Trump's Easter Egg Roll at the White House.

IF TRUMP DIDN’T TEAR UP OBAMA’S IRAN NUCLEAR AGREEMENT. We’d have: - $ 40 billion more - 300+ fewer injured Americans - Over a dozen fewer dead Americans - $2.49 gasoline - 0 U.S. bases severely damaged - Iran’s Uranium capped - The world a safer place - A less extreme Supreme Leader in Iran.

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

A member of the Texas social studies advisory panel warns the overhaul is being rushed, teachers are being cut out of the process, "the draft changes are infused with Christian nationalism and are too dense for children to comprehend." A disaster in the making. 🗃️ www.expressnews.com/politics/tex...

In case you were wondering why Viktor Orban needs help from Trump & JD Vance ahead of the upcoming Hungarian presidential election. ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Oh. The “reporter” from Axios who constantly manipulates the markets with articles of a ceasefire and peace talks is a former IDF intelligence officer. Makes sense now.

Defense Chief Hegseth circling defense Exchange-Traded Funds weeks before war, then denying it as markets surge, corrodes the very idea of public service. War must never be a portfolio strategy. Power used this way isn’t governance—it’s moral failure with a body count. #IranWarInsiderTrading

This man is still serving in Congress with the support of Mike Johnson.

Trump: “How many men did you send all together? Approximately?” Caine: “Uh, I'd love to keep that a secret.” Trump: “But I will tell you. I'll keep it a secret, but it's 100s.” He told the world details after being advised not to, which will make the next rescue harder. #PresidentBlabbermouth

Tuan Van Bui died in ICE custody www.indystar.com/story/news/l...

Tony Gonzales asked campaign aide for nude photos, sex in 2020, new texts show. Why is this sexual predator still in Congress? How many more sexual predators will Mike Johnson protect? www.expressnews.com/politics/art...

Average wage growth for workers is now at the slowest pace in 5 years — and could soon be eaten up by inflation. Meanwhile, CEO pay continues to skyrocket through the stratosphere. Imagine what our economy would look like if worker pay grew like CEO pay.

"Congress is still on vacation... the DHS is still shut down, the war is still ongoing, Trump is threatening a massive escalation tomorrow — and Congress is on vacation right now. It's truly crazy." @timmiller.bsky.social and @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social on our absent Congress.

The DoJ tried to tell us there's 'nothing in there,' but Gloria Horton-Young's examination of the latest Epstein files revelations finds quite the opposite. Missing records, vanished evidence, and shifting answers, all punctuated by the Attorney General’s firing.

Crazytown

Amazon reportedly failed to create any new jobs at its HQ2 in Virginia last year, despite millions of state tax incentives. The company has cut 30,000 jobs since last October — while saving $4 billion in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Trickle-down economics is a hoax.

This is not just any corruption. This is an orgy of corruption To multiply your wealth by 10 in 14 months is unheard of even in the most corrupt countries in the world. Ben Ali didn’t dare to be this corrupt, ffs.

Veteran: I'm totally against blowing up civilian infrastructure. It's a war crime. How do you win a war by destroying the country?

“Trump’s former spiritual advisor released from jail after serving just 6 months for molesting a 12 year-old girl.”

JPMORGAN: “.. Operation Epic Fury has now set a record for US Tomahawk missile deployment, surpassing the Iraq War in 2003 and exhausting four years of supply based on current production rates.” [Cembalest] #$RTX

It’s probably nothing. 🤡 @dkthomp.bsky.social

To be clear. REPUBLICAN VOTERS OWN THE IRAN EPSTEIN WAR! This is their fault!
