It’s so stupid so trump is obsessed

We can do this!

HE IS RAPING OUR WHITE HOUSE

21 May 1932 | Dutch Jewish girl, Eva Beem, was born in Leeuwarden. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork in March 1944. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.

"The DOD is not telling Congress the truth. These losses are weakening #US international force posture ( #China is celebrating). These losses could mean that the US has the wrong force mix (though the DOD seems to be ignoring this." #Iran

TRUMP DID THIS

Think about the irony - Iran is doing what the American political system was unable to do: HOLD TRUMP ACCOUNTABLE.

The brutal Hormuz facts Trump and Hegseth ignored, in 3 charts: What a drone swarm attack looks like (RU vs. UKR); note how impossible it is to prevent any hits. Next, the high probability of tanker hits, and how many troops it would take to attempt to stifle Iran drone attacks. All predictable!

I know I shouldn’t, but I am wondering if it isn’t too late. Team Trump is terrible, yes; but that isn’t my worry. It’s that Americans are not upset enough, not protesting enough. For example the SCOTUS gutting of the Voting Rights Act alone should have immediately been cause for nationwide strikes.

It’s darkly amusing that Trump rode to power as the Washington Outsider who would ‘Drain the Swamp’ - and he’s blown past even Washington’s corruption guardrails. So MAGA got an outsider, yes - just not the kind they imagined. And yet MAGA tolerates his obscene corruption with majestic indifference.

If only we had a name for a regime that waived legal consequences for antidemocratic extremists and set up a payroll for its paramilitary wing.

Chinese newspaper cartoon (Today... 😂 )

The most depressing thing about America’s rapid decline under Trump is that while he is busily throwing Taiwan under a bus, he has received no Chinese help with Iran. He has left the US weak and exposed with his ill conceived war.

Betting markets are not optimistic about Trump’s ability to get the Hormuz Strait open. A 20% oil supply shock over a period of months will be a very serious drag on the economy - I’ve illustrated one potential set of outcomes here. And we are already in a ‘vibesession’ - consumers are pessimistic.

Trump is talking s$&t. If he had ordered our military to seize Iran’s enriched uranium, it have done so long ago.

There is a statue of author Alex Haley in East Knoxville, TN. Knox County just removed Roots from all school libraries.

Let me clarify today's events for the hard of thinking and the BBC Keir Starmer is still Prime Minister. Nigel Farage is still a bought and paid for shill for dodgy foreign powers who do not have your best interests at heart. LEARN. THE. FUCKING. DIFFERENCE. YOU. GULLIBLE. CUNTS!

Il faut relire Autocracy.inc de l'excellente journaliste Anne Applebaum. Les Américains ont élu en 2024 un "wannabe dictator". Leur démocratie est-elle assez solide pour rester libérale, alors que, là-bas comme en Europe, une partie de notre société est en train de perdre ses repères?

How can he possibly stay safe without a ballroom?

I think it’s fair to ask: is the War on Iran the act of a traitor to the United States? Everything about this war is bad for the USA. It was used to damage our alliances, erase our weapons inventories for years to come, and allow Iran to establish a chokehold on the Strait of Hormuz.

AOC’s demographic and ideological profile would make a smashing Electoral College victory especially difficult. She might inspire unusually high turnout among young progressives and urban voters, but the Electoral College rewards broad geographic acceptability, not intensity in blue metros.

Correct

National security and counterterrorism expert and VA-7 Congressional candidate @oliviatroye.com is in THE BACK ROOM discussing her campaign and the midterms, Trump, Iran, Hegseth, Gabbard, Miller, DHS, and more podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...

Do people in the Trump administration start their morning wondering what heinous, destructive, and upsetting thing they can accomplish that day?

I must continue pressing fellow Democrats: Long before this sad travesty happened, your own stupidity destroyed the viability of your own Party. You were asleep at the wheel, and allowed these deplorable thugs to gain majorities and steal SCOTUS. You haven’t evolved! You’re only ‘anti-Trump.’

For my generation, the 1965 Voting Rights Act wasn't just a law but a statement that we were never again going backwards on race. I saw Black political power thrive in the '80s, and never thought I'd live to see the VRA get crushed What do we do now? My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/supr...

as long as john roberts has his majority, there is simply no pro democracy reform that will survive the supreme court. none.

Did John Phelan refuse to commit a war crime(s)? And what was it? And how quickly will it be asked of his more malleable, doofus replacement?

YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

To those who celebrate, it’s…

Looks more and more like the whole US blockade was a sham.

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

Polish communism was also defeated, in the end, by an election. www.thefp.com/p/orbans-ous...

I know it might feel good to attack Vance for saying it was a great achievement to cut off all US aid to Ukraine. However that was never up to Vance, it was entirely Trump’s decision. If you attack Vance and don’t mention Trump, you are spreading a false idea.

Wow — I’m blown away by the momentum. I’ve been in this fight a long time, but never expected this level of support. I was a National Security Official who stood up to Trump in the White House. Now I’m running for Congress. We need 10,000 Founding Donors on Day One, and we’re so close.

People who are saying the US and Israel are being surgical in their air strikes against Iran are missing one major fact. The US and Israel have killed many more Iranian civilians in airstrikes since Feb than Ukrainian civilians killed by Russian airstrikes in all of 2025.

19:00 here in Europe, we ahould have early returns

Hmm, let’s see: how would a Russian stooge in the Oval Office handle the Iran situation? Never mind, silly me…

Oh, yeah, that was the Obama Iran deal.

Hi All, @timothysnyder.bsky.social and I did a Substack Live a little while ago. We covered Russia-Ukraine, US-Iran, and how Trump connects everything between them. Also, a shout out from both of us for Come Back Alive. Have a listen open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

I HOPE TRUMP’S ENDORSEMENT OF ORBAN BACKFIRES BIG TIME! #ORBAN #MAGA #PUTINPUPPETS euromaidanpress.com/2026/04/10/t...

Mika: Republicans, do your job

It is truly remarkable that after the Vietnam War, after the Afghanistan War, after a catalogue of US military failures in the post 1945 world, people claiming to be serious analysts are saying because the US dropped alot of bombs it won this war. It did not.

Who would have thought that April 7 would now be known as War Crimes Deadline Day….

I thought Trump’s balcony presser with the Easter Bunny was an AI fake. Unfortunately…

Real time editing at @nytimes.com, in positive way. 1) Print front page has sane-washed version of Trump's vile Easter Morning rant. (First image) 2) Updated online version right now gives Trump's own words. (Second) Congrats to whoever at NYT noticed and made the "let's tell it straight" call

I walked by the White House yesterday and found the experience very disquieting. As I walked on and on alongside the construction fence, I now realize the enormity of the demolition. Hopefully most Americans don’t approve, and the site can be restored after Trump is no longer in power.
