- Iran won’t close the Strait because that would be very bad for them - we knew they would close it, I expected oil prices to be worse - the strait will open itself - we don’t use it, allies should open it - OPEN THE STRAIT RIGHT NOW OR WE’LL DESTROY YOUR POWER PLANTS

They forced Real ID on us so we could fly, BUT then they DELIBERATELY excluded Real ID from the SAVE Act.

Yet we hear, the war is being waged for the noble purpose of freeing the Iranian people from the grip of tyrannical rule. We were told by Washington officialdom the same lie about Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Nicaragua, Panama, Libya, Syria, and the list goes on and on.

Trump says journalists who cover his war “negatively” should be charged with treason —punishable by death advocating killing reporters for doing their jobs. This isn’t leadership,it’s authoritarian terror.Targeting the free press is how dictators silence truth, not how a president serves a democracy

I just wrote a letter to Congress: Defend the Affordable Care Act and Make Health Insurance More Affordable Now, via @voicesofhealthcare.org Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/prot...

I somehow missed this. UNBELIEVABLE.

Trump uses a soldier's coffin to fundraise. A soldier died for this country. Trump uses his coffin to fundraise. This is beyond disgusting He's using dead Americans to raise money. There's no low he won't sink to. 🤬🤬🤬

MEMPHIS Rep. @justinjpearson.bsky.social on Trump coming Monday: “Trump is treating us as a pawn in his authoritarian playbook… this visit is a distraction from his unpopular war, failed economic policies, and his thousands of mentions in the Epstein Files.”

BREAKING: Republicans ONCE AGAIN blocked our bill to simply pay TSA agents. This is the SEVENTH time Republicans have blocked our attempts to fund the rest of DHS while talks to rein in ICE continue.

FROST: We asked Pam Bondi multiple times, are you going to come and speak with us under oath? She would not say yes. We want her under oath because we do not trust her. Why don't we trust her? Because she's a liar.

Rand Paul: "The fact he can't bring himself to say that we shouldn't settle political questions with violence, I think that would be a terrible example for ICE and Border Patrol"

Top counterterrorism official Kent resigns over Trump's Iran war, says Iran posed no imminent threat www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Trump just eliminated federal restrictions on no-knock warrants, the same tactic that led to the killing of Breonna Taylor. Congress must act NOW to restore these protections. action.momsrising.org/sign/noknock... #BreonnaTaylor #NoKnockWarrants @momsrising.org

Have you heard? There’s a new bill that makes it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. Join me and @standupamerica.bsky.social in urging Congress to vote NO on the SAVE Act: act.standupamerica.com/letters/no-o...

President Donald Trump and his allies are doing everything they can — and we mean everything — to somehow get their monster voter suppression bill through Congress. And no one is covering this epic fight as closely as Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Donald Trump has called me a "really bad person," a "radical” and an “election stealing lawyer.” I think he is a deranged authoritarian. I created Democracy Docket to be fiercely independent. No corporate owners. No venture capitalists. It will never back down. Subscribe today. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Independent media once felt like a luxury. Specialized news subscriptions that provided in-depth information, opinion and analysis were costly and time-consuming. They were purely optional, even indulgent. That is no longer the case. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/demo...

Good, timely summary!

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion. That's roughly $1 billion per day. $41,666,667 per hour. $11,574 per second. People do not want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.

Congress must oppose additional funding for DHS without provisions that ensure accountability for ICE’s violence and an end to the deadly masked patrols in our streets. Send an email to demand accountability: act.standupamerica.com/letters/cte-...

If you haven't seen this, you must. It's epic. Republican Rex Tillis is doing our work for us. He excoriates Noem. Did he leave anything out? I can't think of a thing. He even brought up the dog! [11 minutes] @msnowreports.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of2r...

Please don’t forget to vote today! Texas, Arkansas, and North Carolina are kicking off the 2026 midterm cycle with their primary elections.
