It's just an utterly relentless pattern: Every time the President de-escalates in the Middle East, the stockmarket in the U.S. rejoices. It's like they think war is bad for business.

Yeah but they don’t get to worry about the price of brent crude

To conservatives who’ve objected when some of us have suggested Trump is a fascist, and who’ve complained when some us point out that much of real existing American conservatism has devolved into fascism, if you’re silent about Trump’s threat of genocide you’re proving the point you’ve objected to.

MAJOR BREAKING: Judge Chris Taylor, the Democratic-backed candidate, has won election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The result expands the court’s liberal majority to 5–2, extending its current ideological balance for years to come.

I guess not. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

Apparently the only person in politics who is unable to get Trump to take his calls is JD Vance.

So apparently the ceasefire deal includes Iran continuing to charge tolls (split with Oman) on transit through the Strait, as reported by the NYT, AP and others. If that's true, I have a hard time seeing this as anything other than a capitulation by Trump. Just abject surrender.

There's a non-zero chance he's doing all this to manipulate the market and make himself and his friends a lot of money.

If someone with an arsenal of bombs and guns made a credible threat to commit mass murder, and they were obviously mentally ill, then they'd be involuntarily committed to a mental institution. Forget impeachment. Apprehend him for his own safety and that of others.

One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government. We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today. If not, they must be replaced.

The Epstein files... They started a war with Iran to make us forget these images!!! Don't stop talking about the Epstein files.🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Teen who went to photograph L.A. 'No Kings' rally shot, blinded by Homeland Security agent, attorney says. This young freedom fighter’s grievous injury is emblematic of how deep the damage to America is. apple.news/AIbb92DTCTcq...

consider the acting AG supporting destruction of public utilities & critical infrastructure of a country that did not attack us. clearly the trump regime sees itself as unaccountable. So far, it is.

We won't last 33 more months of this. This must stop. We must make it stop.

Bulk carrier HONG TAI 88 was controlled by a smuggling group from Taiwan, China's Taiwan Affairs Office says on 4/1. Taiwan detained the vessel, which flew the Togo flag of convenience, and arrested the captain and crew, all of whom were Chinese, for damaging subsea cables in 2025.

This man is threatening mass killings & war crimes on social media. When will enough be enough? These aren’t policy differences. He’s threatening crimes. It’s time to invoke the 25th. But we can’t do it alone—we need our Republican colleagues to do the right thing for this country & for the world.

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. https://www.thedailybeast.com/jd-vances-trip-to-donald-trump-ally-viktor-orban-hit-by-humiliating-vladimir-putin-call-leak/ 

Donald Trump threatening the destruction of an entire civilization is madness. He is completely unfit to serve as President of the United States. Invoke the 25th Amendment. Or Republicans must stand up with us to impeach him. We cannot allow him to set fire to the world.

The bases should never have been opened to US use. They should now immediately be closed to them. This is patently the case. It is a military power with explicitly genocidal intent. Given how severe that danger is, the reassurances of its military officials about authorised use are insufficient.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Rep. Ansari: "Donald Trump is trying to normalize language that essentially threatening genocide, threatening the potential use of nuclear weapons ... how is nobody trying to restrain this madman who is trying to get all of us killed. This is a nightmare scenario. It's apocalyptic."

If Trump does give an order to attack civilian targets that have no military value as a means of collectively punishing the Iranian people - and make good his threat to begin a genocide - Marco Rubio should resign and the military must refuse the order. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

What happened to all of the above as an option?

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

I have a long night in front of me. But for those asking how to stay informed about Trump's latest attack on voting and the legal cases that will follow, my advice is to subscribe to Democracy Docket. I started it for times just like this. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

It’s like the whole world is trapped in their house with an abusive husband.

A military coup is our only hope. Never thought I’d be saying this!

Apparently the threat of nuclear annihilation only merits an 0.49 % drop in the Dow.

Exactly‼️ #ToxicTrump is abusive & controlling...& becomes violent & vile when he can't get his own way...when HE is not obeyed. #USA won't realise how BAD this is until HE is removed & normal, democratic government is resumed, the #LAW & #Constitution once again followed. #Impeach & #RemoveTrump🙏

It doesn't matter if they're doing this because THEIR DICTATORS FORCED THEM or if they're just trying to protect themselves MAGA DOESN'T UNDERSTAND GEOPOLITICS Or human suffering This is fucking ridiculous

Congress is meant to be a check on the President. For 15 months, Congress has been nowhere to be found. History books will be written about one of the weakest Congress' in American history.
