Threatening to bomb innocent men women and children again! This isn’t being strong; it’s lack of negotiating ability. Obama stopped Iran’s nuclear program with a Treaty won without a war! Trump ripped it up. Because Obama! Trump is a barbarian.

6 months from the midterms

Trump cites Venezuela as a success. The old regime is in place. Nothing much has changed. Except...Trump's pals now are getting a little taste. It's mafia imperialism. It's a shakedown. And for the right $$$ he would've given the same deal to Iran's leaders. He just wants his cut. Gotti-ism at work.

elon musk spends two-thirds of his time spreading racist pseudoscience and hating trans people and here is Ezra Klein in 2026 saying Musk is relentlessly focused on the only things that matter to him: EVs and going to Mars. I'm sorry but the guy's just very very dim

The single most defining thing Elon Musk has ever done is killing untold numbers of people by having DOGE illegally raid and disband USAID. Not rickets, not cars, not even the CSAMbot on X. It’s this, and so many media pundits just choose to unsee it.

The people who promised to fix everything on day 1 are still out here blaming Joe Biden on day 467.

I defy anyone to explain this on neutral legal principles.

Not enough people are talking about this.     The Trump Administration is moving to cut benefits for up to 400,000 disabled Americans — people with Down syndrome, severe autism, dementia — for no other reason than that they live at home with their families instead of in an institution.

We have a mob boss in the Oval Office who uses power & loyalty rather than institutional norms. From his language to his actions, he threatens anyone he deems not loyal to him. He is doing this on the world stage threatening to blow up Iran to individuals like Marjorie Taylor Greene. #25thAmendment

Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

The absolute gall, to put what’s happening in Iran, on the same footing as Normandy. I wonder if the Europeans will have anything to say about this.

#USSJR161: A joint resolution to direct the removal of United States Armed Forces from hostilities within or against the Islamic Republic of Iran that have not been authorized by Congress. Status: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations. 2026-04-13 Sponsors: - Democrat: 6

One (orange) man tries to rule the world: •Starts an insane war with Iran •Uses tariffs to extort the free market •Murders, kidnaps, incarcerates and deports U.S. citizens & non-citizens without due process •Steals from WE THE PEOPLE with his rich corrupt family & oligarchs #removertrumpnow

OMG! Paratroopers? Iran is using drones ... you know, modern warfare.

CNN, sources indicate that a resumption of U.S.-Israeli strikes on targets inside Iran could happen within the next day. That would mark a decisive end to the April 8 ceasefire. But the reality is the ceasefire is already collapsing under the weight of what is happening on the ground and at sea.

Israel has bombed a synagogue - a synagogue! - in Iran, FFS. Tehran’s embattled Jewish community endures despite Israeli bombing of synagogue | Iran | The Guardian share.google/Pus7XYid2UON...

With pain at the gas pump reaching new highs due to U.S.-Iran tensions, many consumers are pulling back on dining out. Major restaurant brands report falling revenue as households pivot to cost-saving measures to offset rising daily expenses.

After Trump announced the United States would be guiding ships through the Strait of Hormuz as part of “Project Freedom,” Iran retaliated, targeting shipping lanes and critical energy infrastructure. United Arab Emirates confirmed one of its ADNOC oil tankers was struck by two Iranian drones

Have these people figured out yet that Iran doesn't care what we do. Any attack so far has been met with their own attack. Graham needs to STFU or go fight on the front lines #USDemocracy thehill.com/policy/defen...

He says Iran stole his dinner money.

So our spoils of the Trump-Netanyahu war with Iran is that we get to put American men and women in harms way to achieve passage through the Strait of Hormuz for the foreseeable future. Didn't we have free passage through the Strait prior to Trump's war of choice? So much winning.

How desperately they try to blame Iran for acts of war the U.S. started.

Met Gala favorite.

He has been strangely very pro-russia ever since the Ukraine conflict. Constantly saying that Ukraine is about to get destroyed by Russia. It's almost like someone is paying him...

Pleased to have been exposing this guy's ignorance on foreign affairs for a while now

Chief Justice John Roberts once decried partisan gerrymandering as “unjust.” Last week, the high court made a decision that doesn’t just tolerate but encourages the practice, @dgraham.bsky.social argues:

We have a year’s worth of economic data since Liberation Day, when President Trump announced much higher tariffs on most imported goods and countries, and the data are definitive; the tariffs have done significant damage to the economy.

Media Matters secures victory over Trump's FTC probe.

Musk's sense of his sway with anybody but addled techbroi, greasy incels, and Holocaust deniers is very inflated

My piece with @ajvicens.bsky.social on how hundreds of Americans were fired or otherwise punished following the killing of right wing influencer Charlie Kirk is part of a package that has been recognized with the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in National Reporting: www.reuters.com/investigatio...

very funny that ilya shapiro walks around like he is some grand arbiter of merit when he would be unemployable if not for wingnut welfare

Speaking of "merit," time for a pop quiz! Who had the most experience arguing federal court appeals before becoming a federal appellate judge: Jackson, Kavanaugh, or Barrett? (Answers: Jackson 12, Kavanaugh 4, Barrett 0.)

Still not remotely low enough.

/4 But certainly his description of Bush43’s articulation of the moral imperative for PEPFAR was somewhat shocking to an ear hardened by listening to current Republicans.

Saw Anthony Fauci speak tonight. Impressive man. Two parts particularly struck me. First was his admiration and gratitude to Bush43 for PEPFAR, based on what he expressed as moral duty for the richest nation in the world to spent relatively little to spare poor people from preventable disease./1

Texas voters just sent the book banners packing. Not in California. Not in New York. In Texas. Across the state, voters went to the polls and threw out right-wing school board members who built their local political brands on book bans, anti-LGBTQ policies and Christian nationalist culture-war panic

Lambert: The Strait of Hormuz is going to be open and we’re going to control it. Mockler: In two weeks? Lambert: It doesn’t matter if it’s two weeks or two months. Mockler: It does actually matter because economists are saying if it's closed for a few more months, we're going into a recession

America's gun psychopathy continues: *164* mass shootings so far in 2026. 💔😡💔 #GunsDontMakeUsSafer The latest, with 2 children and 2 adults killed in a domestic murder-suicide shooting, in Houston, Texas: www.lokmattimes.com/internationa...

“I’m glad they drove Old Dixie down.”

I fielded questions about the Big Ugly Bill’s impact on our economy, soaring gas prices and the misguided war in Iran during the town hall I hosted this evening in Portsmouth Thanks to my constituents for staying engaged and sharing your opinions

#StayReadyCrew I’m gently reminding you to check your supplies and see what you need. Nothing is going to get cheaper for the foreseeable future. There’s no need to hoard or panic but NOW is a good time to start planning for the rest of the year. www.businessinsider.com/inflation-ec...

When women rise, nations prosper. -- Kamala Harris (Speech at United Nations, 2021) #feminism #quotes

Is social media the cigarettes of this generation?

So here we are again. POTUS threatening to destroy a country because he does not understand his actions. Project Freedom was an escalation tactic. Iran responded in kind. Now he is mad about that. This is infuriating to people that understand how this works. #IranWar #ProjectFreeDumb

Possum Mom Doing her Best!

Activists in NYC projected a message on the side of Jeff Bezos’ $120 million penthouse ahead of the Met Gala. “Shame on you, Jeff Bezos.”

“Artificial intelligence will never defeat natural stupidity.”

I don't know about the farmers in the midwest, but the farmers in Florida need migrant labor to pick their crops. I can see being afraid of people different than you when you live in a purely vanilla culture, but Florida farmers certainly should have known better.
