Newly unsealed search warrants in the California ballot seizure case paint a chilling picture of how the types of anti-voting conspiracy theories weaponized by the White House to investigate the 2020 presidential election can be used to target elections on a state and local level.

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

Congress is completely useless at this point.

Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris): This is a species in the Cardinal family. The bright coloured plumage of the male of this 14cm (5.5in) bird only develops in its second year. These North American birds feed on seed. Gorgeous photo taken by Stacey Rich Bergman in the United States. #paintedbunting

Senator Ron Wyden is one of the more restrained members of the Senate who carefully chooses his words. I’ve never seen him angry. When RON WYDEN says this, LISTEN:

Stopped to admire this view on a local trail tonight and a woman stopped beside me to do the same. After a silent minute, she said "Nice break from all the awful stuff going on, isn't it? I'm trying to just catch my breath from it all."

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

By Tuesday afternoon more than 50 House Democrats — along with Sens. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) and Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) — had called for the president's removal through impeachment or the 25th Amendment. www.axios.com/2026/04/07/t...

By my count, there are now over 50 House Democrats, along with two Senate Democrats, who have called for Trump to be impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment for his post on Iran. More here: www.axios.com/2026/04/07/t...

Speaker Johnson needs to do his job and bring the House back into session immediately. Congress needs to reconvene NOW to rein in the madman in the oval office. Trump's cabinet has a responsibility to the American people, they must also invoke the 25th Amendment, and they need to do it NOW.

Over on X, Andrew Solander is compiling a list House and Senate Democrats calling for Trump to be removed from office today. Current total is over 57 (55 in the House, 2 in the Senate), with more coming in each minute.

The House must come back into session immediately to vote to end Trump’s war. The President is unhinged, lawless and bringing global chaos and we must stop him NOW. Our service members, Iranian civilians and our country’s national security depend on it. Read my full statement here:

There are currently 431 House members (217 Republicans, 214 Democrats) – only 2 Republicans would be needed to impeach Trump – leaving 20 Senate Republicans (67 vote majority) to remove him from office. 22 people are needed immediately to prevent genocide/nuclear apocalypse. Summon your courage.

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."

House Democrats are demanding Congress return to session NOW to stop Trump's lunacy. 12+ U.S. troops dead. Hundreds injured. Billions wasted. And Trump is threatening to eradicate a whole civilization. Call Republicans at the Congressional Switchboard: 1-202-224-3121.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

A nuclear armed United States is now an existential threat to the rest of the world

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

Bret Baier: "I just got off the phone with the president. He called. He said '8pm is happening. If we get to that point, there is going to be an attack like they have not seen.' He's sticking to that at this point."

Forget the California “exodus” narrative. Companies KEEP BETTING on California. Investors are overwhelmingly backing the innovation and ideas coming out of the Golden State — far more than ANY other state — because the future happens here first.

In addition to experiencing a longer total eclipse totality from space — lasting nearly one hour instead of just a few minutes here on Earth — the Artemis II crew got a glimpse at the Sun’s corona wispily peeking out from behind the Moon without interference from the Earth’s atmosphere.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

We could be looking at one of the worst humanitarian crises in history tonight.

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.

Trump is threatening war crimes to annihilate "a whole civilization". Republicans in Congress repeatedly voted for Trump’s war and still won't do their job to end this madness. Enough. Bring Congress back into session. Republicans must grow a spine and stop this catastrophe.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” These are the words of the president of the United States, today. The president speaks genocide. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment. snyder.substack.com/p/the-presid...

Dear Europe — Russia is planning a massive, multi-layered crisis designed to shatter your stability, including orchestrated migration surges & coordinated disinformation to fracture NATO & EU unity. Putin is not bluffing. He’s preparing the ground while the West debates. Wake up!

Remember when we were all upset because the President raped some kids and the Department of Justice was hiding the evidence in violation of a Congressional mandate? Whatever happened to that?

On this day in 1891, Ellen Martin went to the polls in Lombard, IL & demanded to vote. Martin noted that the town’s charter did not explicitly limit voting in town elections to men. The election judges reluctantly agreed with Martin, who reportedly became the 1st woman to vote in Illinois. #WeTheMen

“It’s difficult to cover him in a way that conveys how unhinged he is. Journalists are trained to be like, ‘OK, what did he say that was newsworthy?’ So you convey that to your audience. But in reality, when you actually watch, you see he's full of hatred, lying constantly, and very incoherent.”
