$2 million per ship — to cross a Strait that was free six weeks ago. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/w...

NEW — Iran had already presented a 10-point plan. Then Trump wakes up today and threatens to blow up Iran's "whole civilization" if they don't bend. And then, just an hour before his deadline, he announces a ceasefire, citing Iran's "workable" 10-point plan.

So instead of “unconditional surrender” Trump talked Iran into receiving 2 million dollars toll per ship. What a negotiater!

But the gov't can't afford to cover Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, energy prices??? #TACO

NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war. 100-130 ships pass the Strait daily. Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.

Trump threatens to jail the journalist who first reported that a U.S. airman was missing if the journo doesn't hand over source information to the government.

anyone attending the white house correspondents dinner is a fucking traitor

Ever wonder how to get rid of a mattress? Or how to find resources for a neighbor in need? Call 311.    311 is contacted 100,000 times every day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. No call is too small.    So on the anniversary of 311 (3/11), I decided to answer some of those calls myself.

we'll see how it shakes out over the course of years, but as of right now, mamdani is definitely showing how the future of good progressive governance means "use government to do good things and then post about it" both parts are important!

It's been 66 days since agents killed Alex Pretti. DHS has body-cam footage. They haven't released it. 66 days and counting. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

REMINDER: Together, we are powerful. More than 8 MILLION people came together across the country today as part of No Kings to send a message: We the people will protect our democracy.

protesting in this outfit is a real “heads I win, tails you lose” moment when it comes to the optics

So it begins! Spotted at No Kings in Melbourne, Australia! 🔥

Every few days, I get a few very angry “why doesn’t 50501 condemn the Free Palestine movement” emails. Here’s why we don’t tell people to go home for waving a pro-Palestine flag: Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza & Netanyahu is just another Trump. It’s really just that simple. Free Palestine

10 American service members just got hurt in Saudi Arabia. Iranian attack. Retaliating for a war Congress never authorized. That Trump launched from a golf resort. These are real people.

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

Russia is sharing satellite imagery and drone technology with Iran, There has never been a more cowardly president in history. He is afraid of Putin. www.reuters.com/world/middle...

It sucks that our service men and women and their families have to pay a heavy price for Cadet Bone Spurs’ stupidity while he builds his ballroom, hosts parties, plays golf, pardons drug traffickers and con artists, and grifts billions for himself from foreign sources.

How the broadcast nets covered the news of 6 more U.S. troops killed: ABC: One minute at the top of main reported package on war NBC: 25 seconds at top of main reported package on war CBS: 7-second Dokoupil-read mention in intro to main reported package on war…that didn’t cover the deaths

Google searches of the Epstein files is down over 90%. This is your reminder of why we are bombing Iran.

"In Beirut, Nowhere Is Safe From Israel's Bombing" In an on-the-ground dispatch from Lebanon, displaced residents describe the toll of Israel's relentless attacks, as the Israeli military escalates its assault on the capital and advances in the south.

I love that the FBI is now just a taxpayer-funded program to help a lil 12-year-old boy meet athletes he looks up to

Most states require ID to vote. All require it to register. But under the SAVE act, that’s not enough. Have a driver’s license from the state in which you’re voting? Not enough. Have a Real ID? Only enough in six states. (1/2) www.wral.com/story/fact-c...

⚡️US allow countries to buy limited Russian oil supplies for 30 days. The U.S. Treasury Department issued a temporary license on March 12 to allow countries to purchase Russian oil currently stranded at sea, in an effort to stabilize global energy prices as the war with Iran drives markets higher.

Pretend that circumstances were completely different. Just imagine it and ignore reality.

"Operation Epic Fury is being waged without the people who understand the region...Career diplomats are not ornamental. They are the institutional memory of American statecraft...negotiate ceasefires, secure the release of political prisoners, and build coalitions that kept our troops out of wars."

looks like we traded generations of healthcare for 4 days worth of missiles

A country led by people born on third base who think they hit a triple

Our rights aren't up to ICE agents to decide.

Well at least this is all going well for someone www.nytimes.com/2026/03/12/u...

The people are always asked—demanded—they sacrifice. But ask it of the wealthy and suddenly it isn't a virtue anymore.

Tonight, Democrats flipped a seat in the New Hampshire state House, their third legislative result of the year. And in Georgia, a Democrat and a Republican advanced to a runoff in a congressional race. Keep up with the results in our election guide.

What does this war of aggression have anything to do with “our freedom”?

A purpose of the war on Iran might well be to provoke a terrorist attack inside the United States. This would provide Donald Trump with a pretext to try to cancel or “federalize” the coming Congressional elections. snyder.substack.com/p/the-desire...

Bernie says it...

As many people said would happen, sounds like our failure to stop US politicians supporting a genocide will now turn into committing one ourselves.

Ugh. The brand-new Coast Guard jet Kristi Noem was using before she got fired flew down to Florida late Friday -- presumably for the "Shield of the Americas" announcement -- and then returned to Watertown, SD, late Saturday. So she's still using it!!

Democrats want to get TSA agents paid, but we won't help Republicans cut a blank check to help Stephen Miller terrorize Americans.    And I won’t let Trump blackmail Democrats into funding rogue ICE agents just because he started a war with Iran.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

BREAKING: Judge rules Kari Lake illegally ran U.S. media agency

Everyone can add a comment opposing the DOJ usurping and stopping any state bar associations’ ethics investigation of DOJ Attys by adding a comment here before 4/06: www.federalregister.gov/documents/20...

BREAKING: A federal judge in Washington just ruled that Kari Lake has unlawfully served as chief executive of the U.S. Agency for Global Media — which oversees Voice of America — and nullified many actions she has taken in the role, including mass layoffs of staff.

I say Trump is a clairvoyant….

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

Additional footage showing the blaze actively burning tonight at the Social Security Building in Kuwait City, as a result of a drone attack by Iran. Original post

I met with Juanita + her daughter Emely (who filmed the encounter) after the arrest became part of a court case that won a major victory for immigrants’ rights in Oregon. A judge ordered ICE to end warrantless arrests, saying officers had been “brutal and violent” + widely violated people's rights.

NEW: ICE tackled + arrested Juanita Avila, an Oregon shop owner who is a legal permanent resident and had her green card in her pocket. When she asked through sobs why they didn't believe her, one masked agent replied: “Because they lie all the time.” Video + interview with her and her daughter:
