Paolo Zampolli the man Melania says introduced her to Trump.Trump appointed him as a US special envoy. His name appears multiple times in the Epstein files.Zampolli used ICE to have his ex-partner Amanda Ungaro, who he was in a custody battle with deported.

21 hours of talks in Islamabad No deal Vance left. Trump immediately announced a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and said the military will "finish up the little that is left of Iran." The two week ceasefire is 5 days old. Iran says the US made "excessive demands." The blockade begins shortly

Trump is proposing to paint the 1888 Eisenhower Executive Office Building white because it doesn't match the White House. The French Second Empire landmark houses the National Security Council. He is also proposing a triumphal arch for himself. The ceasefire is 4 days old but the color is wrong

Rep. Glenn Ivey tried to introduce a War Powers Resolution on Thursday. Republican Chris Smith gaveled the session closed without recognizing him. Democrats shouted "Shame." It was the fourth attempt. Congress has been in session 33 days. The war has lasted 40. Speaker Johnson remains on recess.

The US pays $88 billion a month in interest on the national debt. That equals the entire defense budget plus the entire education budget combined. Every month. Just the interest. The party that spent 40 years blocking food stamps and healthcare over debt concerns just added trillions more.

A magistrate judge blocked the DOJ from searching a Washington Post reporter's phones and laptops themselves. The DOJ is now asking a federal judge to overturn that. The reporter covered government spending cuts. The magistrate called it "the government's fox in charge of the henhouse."

The US government asked satellite companies to "voluntarily" stop sharing imagery of the Iran war. Planet gets nearly 60% of its revenue from Pentagon contracts. The satellite images are what proved the US bombed an Iranian elementary school. Then the images disappeared.

Trump told aides he'd "pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval." The Wall Street Journal has it on record. The White House response: "learn to take a joke however the President's pardon power is absolute." They denied nothing. They confirmed everything.

Iran coordinating passage through the Strait of Hormuz was in the 10-point plan Trump called "a workable basis on which to negotiate." Charging fees was part of that framework. He is now threatening Iran for terms he agreed to two days ago. Vance lands in Islamabad tomorrow morning.

Great summary of what happened. If any of your followers want to dig in further, this is a great book.

The CDC published a flu vaccine report March 12 using standard methodology. The same methodology produced a Covid vaccine report showing 50% fewer ER visits and 55% fewer hospitalizations. Acting CDC director Jay Bhattacharya blocked it. Same method. Inconvenient result. RFK Jr runs his department.

Melania Trump: You don't pre-refute something that isn't coming. The "Love Melania" email was already public since January. She didn't come out then. She came out today. Something changed between January and today. The rat is leaving the ship before it sinks.

Trump told reporters he didn't know Melania was going to make her Epstein statement today. The White House wasn't briefed. She went unannounced on the same day Iran closed the Strait again and the Bondi deposition is being rescheduled. The remaining 2.5 million Epstein pages have not been released.

Melania said today her 2002 email to Ghislaine Maxwell was 'my polite reply.' The Epstein files show Melania wrote first. 'Dear G! Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great in the picture. Give me a call when you're back in NY. Love, Melania." Maxwell replied calling her "sweet pea." Mmm hmm.

Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz again after Israel bombed Beirut. Iran says Lebanon was in the ceasefire. Israel says it wasn't. Trump says the military is 'Looking forward to its next Conquest' Vance flies to Islamabad Saturday for peace talks. Oil is back above $100. The ceasefire is 48 hours old

Senator Ron Wyden has documented that Todd Blanche personally intervened to block the DEA from releasing a 69-page document about a secret Epstein investigation into drug trafficking and prostitution. Blanche is now the acting Attorney General. He is in charge of deciding what you get to see.

In 2016 women became eligible for every combat role in the military. In 2025 Congress mandated automatic draft registration for men and stripped out the provision that would have included women. A federal court has already ruled male-only registration is unconstitutional. The case is pending.

On March 30 two days after the Iran war started the Selective Service submitted a rule to AUTOMATICALLY REGISTER all MEN 18-25 for the DRAFT by December. The White House says no draft is planned. Karoline Leavitt said Trump "wisely keeps his options on the table.

Project 2025 called the TSA costly and ripe for reform. Trump just proposed $52 million to begin privatizing airport screeners. Congress created the TSA in November 2001 two months after al Qaeda hijackers passed through privately operated airport security checkpoints. We know how that ended.

Todd Blanche was Trump's personal defense lawyer. He gave Ghislaine Maxwell immunity. He shut down the FBI's Homan bribery investigation. He is now the acting Attorney General. At his first press conference he said serving Trump is "the greatest honor of a lifetime." Survivors do not matter.

Bondi was fired two weeks before her sworn Epstein deposition. The DOJ now says the subpoena was issued to "the Attorney General" not Pam Bondi personally. Nancy Mace says it was issued to Pam Bondi by name.Todd Blanche who gave Maxwell immunity is now the acting AG. The survivors are still waiting

A must read thank you @sobroquet.bsky.social

Iran just released its 10 point peace plan. It includes US troop withdrawal from the region, Iran keeping the Strait of Hormuz, nuclear enrichment rights and reparations for war damages. The White House says these aren't the points Trump called "a workable basis." Someone is lying.

For the confused: I limit replies to followers. You want to respond? Follow me. It's one button. What I won't do is open my mentions to accounts that exist solely to harass and brigade. That's not fear of disagreement. That's called having a boundary. Radical concept, I know.

When the country is placed above the individual, when loyalty to a leader outweighs the rule of law, when dissent is silenced and power tightens its grip on every institution we don't need a new word. We've always had one.

The US is sending its Vice President, a real estate developer and the Presidents son-in-law to negotiate peace with Iran Iran specifically requested Vance because Witkoff and Kushner were at the Geneva talks right before we started bombing they believe those talks were cover for military positioning

3/23/26 the Pentagon quietly reclassified veterans in the Individual Ready Reserve from a "last resort" to a "mobilization asset" for "full mobilization." Five days later the Iran war started. They purged the experienced generals. They're running out of munitions. They have a plan for your kids.

The ICC issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu for war crimes. 125 countries are legally required to arrest him. The man co-signing his war has 34 felony convictions. This is the United States government in April 2026. A convicted felon and a man wanted for war crimes started a war together.

Pakistan's Prime Minister announced the ceasefire included Lebanon. The White House just said it does not. Israel said it does not and struck 100 targets in Beirut within 10 minutes. Lebanon has had 1,530 people killed. They found out they weren't included after the bombing resumed.

Karoline Leavitt just said Trump threatening to destroy Iranian civilian infrastructure which the UN, 100 US legal scholars and the Geneva Convention call a war crime was "tough rhetoric that gets tough results." The US government just officially defended a war crime threat as a negotiating tactic.

Karoline Leavitt declared "a historically swift and successful military triumph" and then announced two weeks of closed door negotiations with Iran. A triumph does not require negotiation. A ceasefire does. These are not the same thing. One of those statements is false.

Karoline Leavitt called Iran's 10 point plan "thrown in the garbage." Trump called it "a workable basis on which to negotiate." One of them is lying. Hours after the ceasefire Iran fired missiles at Kuwait and UAE. The press secretary says Iran can no longer arm its proxies.

Both the US and Iran are claiming victory. Pakistan said Lebanon was included in the ceasefire. Israel said it wasn't. Then Israel struck 100 targets in Lebanon in 10 minutes. In the streets of Tehran people burned US flags after the ceasefire. Two weeks from now we find out which version was real.

Harvard Magazine profiled Kermit Roosevelt Jr. the CIA agent who overthrew Iran's democracy in 1953. His own university documented what he did. The CIA confirmed it in 2013. This is not disputed history. It is just history that was inconvenient to teach. Link in thread. You can listen or read.

People I know are challenging me and keep asking me to define fascism. I keep asking them to define what we have now. Let's do this together.

The Pentagon's own law of war manual says declaring "no quarter, no mercy" is a war crime. Hegseth said it. US called Russia targeting power plants a war crime. Trump threatened the same in Iran. Trump's UN ambassador condemned Russia for it in January. These are not opinions. They are the receipts

NORTHCOM has one counter-drone kit defending the entire US homeland. It can defeat roughly 1 in 4 drones it detects. Drones have breached Barksdale home of our nuclear bomber fleet and a second strategic installation the day the Iran war began. No arrests. No identified perpetrators. One kit.

ICE just confirmed it is using Graphite Israeli zero click spyware that hacks encrypted messages without you clicking anything. WhatsApp found it on 90 journalists' phones in 2025. ICE has not ruled out using it against protesters. They say it complies with the Constitution. They always say that.

Pete Hegseth has "Deus Vult" God wills it tattooed on his arm. It was the battle cry of the Crusades. He is directing a bombing campaign against a Shiite Muslim nation while comparing a military rescue to the Resurrection of Christ. The Pope called this a distortion of Christianity. He is correct.

The FBI warned March 20 that Iran poses a "persistent threat" to US targets on USs soil. The White House had already blocked a similar report. When asked if he worried about Iranian attacks in the US, Trump said "No, I'm not." That was 18 days before he said "a whole civilization will die tonight"

H. Res. 939. That is the Articles of Impeachment introduced today in the House. Rank and file Democrats are coordinating on a Cabinet letter to invoke the 25th Amendment. When Alex Jones and Marjorie Taylor Greene are calling for the 25th Amendment on the same day as Rashida Tlaib, document the date

Chuck Schumer called him "an extremely sick person." A senator told the military they are legally required to refuse orders to commit war crimes. The UN Secretary-General said attacking civilian infrastructure violates international law. The adults are speaking. The Republicans are not listening.

The President of the United States wrote this morning: "A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again." Iranian civilians are forming human chains around their power plants. The UN Secretary-General says attacking them violates international law. This is happening right now.

Knowing what Kermit Roosevelt and the CIA did in 1953 overthrowing Iran's democracy, installing a torturer, training his secret police I don't hate the Iranian people. I understand them. If they had done that to us, there is not an American alive who wouldn't still be furious. I would be too.

In 1953 Iran had a functioning democracy. A free press. Seven political parties. Women in universities. Women granted voting rights in municipal councils in 1952. A secular prime minister named Mosaddegh who believed Iran's oil belonged to Iran. The US and Britain decided he had to go.

1953 Kermit Roosevelt Jr grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt slipped into Tehran with a CIA cover identity and suitcases of cash. His mission: overthrow Iran's democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh. The crime? Mosaddegh nationalized Iran's oil. We called it Operation Ajax.

Iran's spokesman said their goal is to bring America to 'real regret.' Their stated strategy on the record. Iran has been war gaming this moment for decades. They seized the Strait knowing the entire world economy would demand Trump stop. Macron said Trump won't shut up. Iran is counting on that.

The US bombed Sharif University in Tehran.produced internationally recognized scholars including Fields Medal laureate Maryam Mirzakhani the first woman ever to win that award. More than 100 US-based legal scholars have signed an open letter warning these attacks could constitute war crimes.
