Seems like the Strait of Hormuz is only open when the stock market is.

One thing that I'm thinking about as a ponder how Todd Blanche put someone whose wife was investigated for foreign influence peddling on this case is that before Blanche was Trump's lawyer be was Boris Epshteyn's lawyer and before he was Epshteyn's lawyer he was Paul Manafort's lawyer. 😳

The Atlantic journalist, Sarah Fitzpatrick, who wrote the story on FBI Director Kash Patel and his alleged erratic behavior, paranoia, often being MIA, and excessive drinking, after he threatened to sue her: “I stand by every word of this reporting.” 🔥

The Georgia Supreme Court has repeatedly intervened to keep the state’s extreme abortion ban in effect. Electing Miracle Rankin & Jen Jordan to these seats is a way to fight back against the anti-abortion extremists & ensure Georgians can access the care they need. GA, vote on May 19!

Trump: The Strait is fully open! Reality: We are now witnessing the first-ever complete shutdown of the Strait

The fact that the maga appeals court ordered a judge to end a contempt investigation into the Trump administration is the very definition of CORRUPTION. We must clean house & the only way to get there is to fire the entire GOP. #EndTheGOPCorruption #Pinks #ProudBlue #Pinks

The U.S. says Iran’s IRGC carried out at least three attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz today.

NEW YORK (AP) — Air Canada will suspend service to New York’s JFK International airport over the summer as the war in Iran creates jet fuel shortages that have sent prices soaring. @apnews.com apnews.com/article/air-...

Someone really ought to write a book about the significance of #SCOTUS doing so many major things through unsigned and unexplained rulings, and how so much of it really is a recent phenomenon.

ground.news/article/us-f... Is the strait open? Trump: “Yes” U.S. military: “No” Iran: “No” Stop believing Trump. He’s a serial liar and a divider of America. Never forget he rapes little girls. He is the Epstein File! #DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory #Pinks #SheShed

OOP New York Times got receipts on John Roberts being like, 'I know this isn't how anything works, but a Democratic president is about to implement a policy!!' www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

Sorry I’m late on this. A few people flagged this QT, and I ignored it at first because the claim was random, with no receipts, I figured nobody would buy it. Apparently I was wrong. The Scientology rumor is spreading, so let’s address. @yasharali.bsky.social , with zero evidence… 🧵

it is, among other things, incredibly striking to see that roberts was so solicitous of the burden the clean power plan might put on fossil fuel executives, when, a decade later, he is indifferent to the way trump’s moves have thrown hundreds of thousands of lives into turmoil.

Yes, and I have a "complicated relationship" with quantum physics. In the sense that, like Donald and the Bible, I've never studied it and have no understanding of it.

Former president Barack Obama made perhaps his clearest case for supporting Virginia Democrats’ redistricting efforts in a video released Friday. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Getting tired of legacy media ripping us off. What gives, @nytimes.com ?

The Iranians are playing this brainsick dullard like a yo-yo.

Rep Justin Jones made a statement entrance, walking into the Tennessee legislature with an"Abolish ICE" flag. No subtlety. No backing down.🔥🔥

that beep beep beep sound you hear is the president and his family backing a truck up to the US treasury... www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Trump just wrapped up a disastrous speech at a TPUSA event. He started by lying about a supposed deal with Iran, claiming, “We have now secured the Strait of Hormuz. It is ours.” He also said the U.S. and Iran would be excavating nuclear sites together to collect “nuclear dust.” None of it is true.

JUST IN: Two days after saying the U.S. would NOT renew sanctions waivers on Russian or Iranian oil, Bessent’s Treasury quietly extended a license allowing Russian oil transactions for another month.

This is the way.

We must impeach corrupt Thomas and Alito.

I’m so excited about this. I hope people keep starting newsrooms. There’s appetite for the truth.

“You suggested that Black children on ADHD medication should be re-parented.” Democratic Rep. Terri Sewell calls out Health Secretary RFK Jr. for saying Black children should be taken away by the federal government from their families. Then, he denied reality. Subscribe to zeteo.com.

I sent a classified letter to House and Senate colleagues about a secret interpretation of surveillance law that every American should be concerned about. Representative Massie is right. The Constitution requires EVERY member to vote against a clean reauthorization.

💯💯💯

Peace thru war is an oxymoron. Like lowering taxes on the rich stokes the economy. Put money into the hands of consumers to stoke the economy! Give us good healthcare, air, water, infrastructure, education.

ETTD is real. We are living that reality as he careens from troubled spot to troubled spot ALWAYS breaking the law ALWAYS destroying trust ALWAYS making things worse. 😡 ETTD 🤦‍♀️

Trickle down holds that reducing taxes on corps & the wealthy put money into the economy, but that is not true. They don’t need it, don’t spend it & just stash it away. To stoke the economy, put money into hands of consumers & support healthcare, education, etc. Trickle down is a con.

Yes!!! Democratic candidates. Pay attention. Pledge to do this on Day One. 🇺🇸👏💪

Trump et al believe “might makes right” that bombing Iran for weeks is a sure to get Iran to do what we want. But might-make-right is IMMORAL & ineffective. JD seems surprised that Iran doesn’t trust us🤦‍♀️Would you trust us?!! Dumbest thing Trump ever did was to rip up Iran nuclear deal. WHAT A MESS!

WOO! John Eastman has been OFFICIALLY DISBARRED.

ZOHRAN: “I ran on taxing the rich — Today, we’re taxing the rich… the first ever pied-a-terre tax for second homes worth $5 Million+… $500 MILLION from the richest of the rich to fund child care, etc…💰” Promises kept.

"We have to impeach and remove [Trump], and it's not separate from all the issues that we need to address on an economic level for people here in this district and elsewhere. Because we can't accomplish any of that until he's gone."

The cover-up of the Epstein files continues, as Bondi skips out on testifying. Make no mistake — accountability is coming. She will testify or face contempt.

Teen births crashing is good!!!

It's reverse Robin Hood.

🚨BREAKING: The California Supreme Court permanently disbarred John Eastman — a key architect in President Donald Trump’s failed attempt to overturn the 2020 election — delivering one of the most consequential professional penalties yet for an election denier. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Democratic Senator Mazie Hirono names the people who have been pardoned by Donald Trump after they have donated to support his campaign and PACs in the Senate hearing on fraud. "I call it corruption." 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Yes!!! Democratic candidates. Pay attention. Pledge to do this on Day One. 🇺🇸👏💪

California gubnarorial candidates: take note!!! Be bold!!!

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Equals 10 nuclear reactors Reduces heat island, shades cars The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?
