Good morning! Since Trump was re-elected, Forbes estimates— 💰His net worth is up $2 billion, to $6.3 billion 💰Eric’s is up 10x, to $400 million 💰Don Jr.’s is up 6x, to $300 million 💰20-year-old Barron is worth $150 million And Jared became a billionaire last year. Have a great day!

Yes. This is nicely put. One thing I try to get at in this piece is that having Trump threaten genocide and civilizational erasure, and the discovery that we are largely powerless to stop a madman president, takes an immense dispiriting toll on the *American people,* too.

At 11:30a: House Democrats will attempt to pass a war powers authorization by unanimous consent It’s expected that Republicans will block the effort That could jam up Republicans with constituents who oppose the war

Pretty obvious.

This man needs to resign his position in Congress now.

This morning Rep Don Bacon (R-NE) is taking a sledge hammer to JD Vance.

HOW DO YOU HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING OVER A DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENT? HOW DO BOTH SIDES NOT AGREE TO TERMS WRITTEN ON THE SAME PIECE OF PAPER? I'M LOSING MY MIND.

All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..

Just wanted to remind folks, especially the GOP and the FDD, that Barack Obama’s 2015 nuclear deal didn’t give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz or allow it to keep 60% enriched uranium. It sent $1.7 billion to Iran versus the tens of billions Iran will now make from tolls. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Also, the US President threatened genocide, and too many people treated it as "bluster" or passed it off. This is normalizing what should never be normalized. And, the real people to suffer here are the Iranian people (courtesy of the USA). It is time for the US to pull out.

Memories: In 2016, Obama purchased 32 metric tons of Iran's excess heavy water for $8.6 million to help it stay within its allowed stockpile limits. Not only was that an excellent price, but he didn't have to go to war to get it. Diplomacy and cooperation can do wonders without murdering kids.

I've taught European history for thirty years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we Americans have front-row seats.

Trump has publicly threatened to destroy Iran's power plants, bridges, and civilian infrastructure. Over 100 legal experts say that's a war crime. His press secretary refused to rule out nuclear weapons.

RAPID ACTION ALERT: WHITE HOUSE TONIGHT Emergency protest at the White House at 7 PM. This morning, Trump posted on Truth Social: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” He has set an 8 PM deadline for Iran to reopen the

Thune should immediately call the Senate back into session. Trump’s unhinged threats to commit massive war crimes against Iranian civilian targets show an increasing mental and moral instability we can’t ignore.

AOC: “This is a threat of genocide & merits removal from office. The President’s mental faculties are collapsing & cannot be trusted. To every individual in the President’s chain of command: You have a duty to refuse illegal orders. That includes carrying out this threat”

Can we move on from ‘hoping and praying’ to actually, I don’t know, doing something?

Dozens of Congressional Democrats raised alarm Tuesday over President Trump's rhetoric about Iran. Most Republican lawmakers have been silent. n.pr/4tqzm4y

of course, it didn't start with Trump. For instance, the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, has been pushing evangelical Xtianity on Air Force personnel for decades, and no one ever pushes back. www.npr.org/2005/06/02/4...

Good.

Garcia: We have a president threatening to destroy an entire population…yet the Republican Party and the Speaker who control our government are doing absolutely nothing.

One House Republican pushes back on Trump's Iran threat today — Rep. Rep. Nathaniel Moran of Texas: "I do not support the destruction of a 'whole civilization.' That is not who we are, and it is not consistent with the principles that have long guided America."

Many of the images and attached media shared by government-run social media accounts are repurposing language, symbolism, and cultural references with direct connections to neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements.

“Each Republican who refuses to join us in voting against this wanton war of choice owns every consequence of whatever the hell this is,” Schumer added.

CNN: "In the initial statement from DHS, they said these two migrants had attacked the ICE agents in Minneapolis with the shovel, but what this video shows is this was not the case ... the two ICE agents made false statements under oath."

If there was ever a moment when the six members of Congress’s statement truly mattered, it’s now. Steady State stands firmly behind their position. Learn more on our Substack: substack.com/home/post/p-...

House and Senate Republican leaders so far silent as Trump threatens genocide in Iran tonight. I reached out to aides to Mike Johnson and John Thune for comment about an hour ago. So far, nada.

Over the last 48 hours, President Trump has become especially unhinged, erratic, and cartoonishly bombastic about an ongoing regional war in one of the cradles of civilization. talkingpointsmemo.com/morning-memo...

Breaking: Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-AZ) says she will introduce articles of impeachment against Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over Iran.

An appellate court has ruled that Iowa can fully enforce a law restricting instruction on gender identity and sexual orientation in schools up to sixth grade.

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.

“You are not entitled to a response from us, or anyone, ever,” is what an Education Department spokesperson wrote to one of our reporters, @megomatz.bsky.social, after she repeatedly tried to get comment from the department and its officials. (Published Dec. 2025)

Democratic House Rep. Ted Lieu tells the Joint Staff to ignore illegal orders to commit war crimes from Donald Trump: “If you commit war crimes, the next Administration will prosecute you.” 🔥

DEVELOPING: Democratic Senator Chris Murphy just called for exploring Trump's removal from office under the Constitution. Not impeachment. Removal. The 25th Amendment. After the "crazy bastards" and "Praise be to Allah" post. A sitting senator said it out loud.

If you think a Trump electoral false flag terror incident is impossible, keep in mind that Vance arrives in Hungary tomorrow — right in the middle of Orbán’s electoral false flag terror operation, which Vance will presumably endorse. snyder.substack.com/p/the-next-c...

BREAKING: Another person has died in ICE custody, per required notification to Congress, marking 15 deaths in detention this year and 45+ since Trump took office again.

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

SaveUSFS.org is live. This week we’re going after six major outdoor brands. Companies that have spoken out for public lands before. Companies that built their whole identity around wild places. We need them to speak out again.

Iran hits back on social media.

ICE agents came to a military base and grabbed the newlywed wife of a soldier who's about to deploy. The wife came to the U.S. as a toddler. She has no criminal record. None of this is how it used to work. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

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.

The president is clearly threatening multiple nuclear strikes. I don't see why we're not discussing impeachment proceedings or, in lieu of that, military activity intended to prevent such an attack. I'm generally of the opinion that we believe people when they tell us, then act accordingly.

The President of the United States commemorates Easter by threatening war crimes and dropping an F-bomb We need a new president, immediately, insomuch as this one has lost all control over his faculties

Honestly, after that Trump post, I’m begging @nytimes.com, @apnews.com, @reuters.com, @washingtonpost.com, @npr.org and all of the other newspapers and media outlets to take this seriously. This is not normal and we need to stop pretending. This is a crisis.

The author of How Fascism Works and Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future is clear: He believes the United States is currently under an authoritarian regime led by a fascist leader.
