BREAKING: Just 20 minutes before Trump's announcement that the Strait of Hormuz was open, massive trades hit the market. Investors sold a combined 7,990 lots of Brent crude futures, ​a $760 million bet that oil would go down. These orders were much larger than anything else at the time. Unusual.

Here is a paper trail we can pursue one day and jail multiple corrupt officials, Trump’s sons, and their underlings.

Track AIPAC is full of shit‼️ How did Talarico go from $23,250 to $148,580 in one month? That’s a $125,330 difference. This shady team branded Jasmine Crockett w/an inaccurate red graphic during her primary & left Talarico clean, until immediately after. 1/2

I keep saying how trans people have the unique ability to drive some folks insane but this is a perfect example of it. The Knicks owner personally stalked a trans woman going to Knicks games for years using his panopticon surveillance at MSG, solely b/c she's trans. www.wired.com/story/madiso...

Trump has already tried to pull his supporters away from our Constitution, and now he's going after their faith. He wants MAGA to take him as their new God. Watch the LP Pod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dxjqlIR9JNk

Mamdani is supporting a tax on second homes in NY worth more than $5 million, if NY state is not the owner's primary residence. Trump is pissed because he and his billionaire friends will be paying the tax, not ordinary Americans.

Since they’re abusing the Congressional Review Act to get around the filibuster, I am reserving some of my time so I can make closing remarks in the morning before the final vote. Maybe they’ll listen to reason after a night’s sleep. Stay tuned. Save the Boundary Waters.

Sens. Thom Tillis (NC), Lisa Murkowski (AK), Susan Collins (ME), Chuck Grassley (IA), Joni Ernst (IA), and even Majority Leader John Thune (SD) have been identified as possible “longshot” no votes senators who may not like the unprecedented use of the CRA because they are procedural traditionalists.

Leave our Boundary Waters alone!

American Rivers named the South Kawishiwi River—a vital artery of the iconic Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness— to America’s Most Endangered Rivers® list of 2026, due to proposed sulfide-ore copper mining in its headwaters. Urge the Senate to save the BWCA.

She was granted withholding of removal from India *decades* ago, and had been living and working legally (including for the U.S. government!) ever since. But with third country removals now a real option, TSA shared her data with ICE and they arrested her at the airport on her way to a job.

Colorado's wealthiest man owns Coachella. He also bankrolled Project 2025, and the right-wing machine that killed Roe. I spent 20 years organizing to protect the rights he spent millions trying to erase. That's why I don't take corporate PAC money. Join the fight: secure.actblue.com/donate/julie...

✅ Fake audience at his campaign announcement ✅ fake ear damage ✅ fake Door dash grandma from Arkansas Nevada whatever… www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

Everything is staged. Including his assignation attempt.

🤣

Pam Bondi didn’t show up for her hearing today, despite our subpoena. We’re going to begin contempt proceedings. It’s time to hold these people accountable to the laws we passed in Congress.

Turned on NBC. They talked about “President tipping a DoorDash driver $100”. This woman participated in GOP ads before playing other roles. There is no DoorDash deliveries to the Oval Office. Please exercise proper judgement when consuming news.

I too have written about white conservatives in southern state legislatures rushing through bullshit changes to the law just to thwart the advancement of literally one black man, but I'm a historian who writes about the Jim Crow era South and not a reporter discussing current fucking events there.

"All of these things frighten me, and they should frighten you as well. I made the decision to create a life for myself here, because I viewed this as a place that rewarded determination, hard work, and integrity. It still has a chance to be that place again." open.substack.com/pub/ofthebra...

So now we go back to bombing them until they agree to the deal Obama had that Trump tore up… and open up the strait that was open before we attacked them? Continuing a war we “already won”? Do we have that right?

🚨 1/2 "Allowing someone like this to continue to be the commander in chief & to control the tremendous capabilities of the U.S. military, including our nuclear weapons capability…we really are in very, very troubling times.” — Fmr CIA Dir John Brennan, describing Trump as "unhinged." 🧾 is.gd/M4xO15

Cannot even express how much anger this brings

"Each day of the trial, the courtroom filled with community members. Current and former students and colleagues, members of the California Faculty Association from various universities and students who had heard about the case all came to show support..." www.huffpost.com/entry/jonath...

Yesterday, a Twitter account belonging to Amanda Ungaro treated to take legal action against Melania. Amanda is the wife of Paolo Zampolli (former talent agent who brought Melania to America on the Epstein visa and sold her to the felon), who was deported when the man sicced ICE on her.

"When you have a president who's running the country like a mob boss instead of a government, who's running the government for himself, of himself, and by himself, & for his cronies, instead of the people, by the people, and for the people, there's only one solution, & that's impeachment & removal."

No matter how bad he gets and no matter what he does, Republicans in Congress will never stand up to him or speak out because some agree with him on everything and the rest are spineless cowards.

I wrote about how US media is laundering authoritarian anti-gender politics through a frame of viewing restrictions on trans people as being led by progressive European countries rather than the reality that it is illiberal autocratic states. www.thedissident.news/the-launderi...

Jeffries: "When you attack diversity, equity, and inclusion, you attack the United States. When they attack DEI, it's not about celebrating merit, they're trying to elevate mediocrity. Just look at who they put in charge of the attack on DEI - Pete Hegseth. This guy can't organize a two car funeral"

It’s alleged that DJT set an ultimatum to NATO allies to free the strait militarily — allegedly message communicated to Rutte. Then there are lies about former NATO SG Stoltenberg being KGB agent (they tried to recruit him twice in the past — he openly spoke about it) All this is NOISE.

Trump wants to give the Pentagon more money than it can spend while cutting programs that help American families here at home. Well Trump doesn't get to decide—Congress does. And I'm throwing his budget in the trash.

Defunding America’s Best Idea. The proposed FY2027 budget includes a ~25% cut to the National Park Service, along with major reductions to other public land agencies.

Osprey Packs is joining the Save the US Forest Service movement!

Huge News! Thank you for making your voices heard. The Conservation Alliance posted just 30 minutes ago that they are joining the movement to save the U.S. Forest Service and over 70 businesses have signed on! Stronger together!

Donald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization. Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do? Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.

Jeffery Epstein is Donald Trump’s own personal Jesus. He died for Donald’s sins so that Donald didn’t have to.

Easter Egg Roll, where kids learned a fairytale about Biden.. and Autopen.

Nursing home owner Joseph Schwartz: • paid himself $5M as a “ghost employee” • diverted tens of millions owed to taxpayers & employees • failed to pay at least 3 multimillion-dollar judgments awarded to grieving families He also received a Trump pardon.
