“Far from defying history, Trump now seems set to succumb to it, as the Democratic counteroffensive coupled with voter dissatisfaction towards the president’s own policies sets the stage for Republicans to suffer potentially brutal losses in November’s midterm elections.”

“Each Cabinet ousting creates a new problem: Someone has to replace them. Those newcomers will inherit the same political environment and demands. And they will serve, like everyone before them, at the pleasure of a president who, when the walls close in, starts looking for someone else to blame.”

TACO!!! What a loser!

1/2 “We should all hope he strikes a good deal, while recognizing it will just be a different flavor of the one he ripped up eight years ago, which freed the Iranians to renew their program. I’ve always felt the principal motivation for ripping up the JCPOA was that it was an Obama achievement.

“This is what he does: Trump lights our national house on fire, he lets it burn for 15 minutes before showing up with the fire hose, and then he demands a prize for putting out the blaze — while the rest of us stand in the smoldering ruins.”

“A year ago, our country was an embarrassment,” Trump said. “All over the world, they laughed at us. And they don’t laugh anymore, they are not laughing.” No, they’re not laughing. Now they’re screaming for the insanity to stop!

1/2 “With few exceptions, the members of the DNC have been notably unwilling to break with the Democratic party’s power structure, and they routinely aspire to rise within it.

1/2 “Few of the pardons have been as consequential or mystifying as the one handed to Hernández. Prosecutors presented evidence at trial that he took millions in bribes from cartels, including the vicious Sinaloa Cartel, that Trump has called a major threat to the United States.

“America First-ism is not the ideology of this Presidency; Trump First-ism is. The fact that he serves up his megalomania with such an excess of dark farce only reinforces how shameful it is that this is the man for whom so many Republicans have chosen to sacrifice what remained of their integrity.”

“Jet fuel prices have roughly doubled since the start of the war in Iran, a price increase even sharper than the spikes seen in gasoline and diesel. In response, airlines around the world are cutting routes, raising fares, adding fuel surcharges and boosting baggage fees.” Thanks, trump!!!

TurboTax and H&R Block spent $7 million lobbying the Trump administration to kill Direct File. Both companies donated to Trump's 2024 campaign and inauguration committees.

1/2 “Swalwell’s case shows that current rules allow members of Congress to collect pensions and keep certain privileges even after leaving under pressure. The system does not tie benefits to the reason for departure, whether resignation or expulsion.

BREAKING: In just the 16 months since Trump was reelected, the collective fortune of billionaires has grown by $1.96 trillion. More than half of that growth comes from just the top 15 billionaires, who alone grew their collective wealth by over $1 trillion.

Oh cool, her husband was also texting the same staffer.

“In an April 2025 exchange provided to investigators, Ms. Chavez-DeRemer’s father, Richard Chavez, wrote to a young female staff member: ‘Hearing u/r in town. Wishing you would let me know. I could have made some excuses to get out and show u around. Please keep this private.’”

“Ms. Chavez-DeRemer’s husband exchanged text messages with young female staff members, as did her father.” Come on, now. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/u...

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs. Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026. This is what corporate greed looks like.

1/2 “As Trump grasps for a way to end the Iran war, his torching of the country’s credibility has come to a head. He has no concessions from Tehran, little allied support and few good ways to get out of the situation. And this problem will outlast not only this war, but Trump’s time in office.

“Everyone can read the transcript of the president’s attempt to extort President Zelenskyy. That was an impeachable offense, and no amount of dust-kicking and sycophancy can obscure it.”

“The move to undo the most serious convictions stemming from the assault on the Capitol marks the latest step in President Donald Trump’s quest to rewrite the event’s violent history.”

when biden was in office & oil went higher due to a war that he didnt start - all these idiots hammered him for causing higher fuel prices and were helped by the press now for a war trump did start causing fuel prices to go higher its "transitory" and "short term" and cnbc is helping launder that

1/2 “The clearest sign that the anti-antifa program is about amassing political power and not about safety is that government and academic data show that right-wing political violence is a far more serious security threat than left-wing political violence in the U.S.

“Because President Trump has not plausibly alleged that defendants published the article with actual malice, both Counts must be dismissed.”

Wow! Orban lost and the Iran negotiations fell apart. Vance is 0-2 just this weekend, proving once again how beyond useless he is!

1/2 “Like many wannabe authoritarians, he’s interested in ‘Conquest.’ Indeed, the dream of foreign conquest seems to have become a more central part of Trump’s personal sense of grandiosity, not to say megalomania, than it was earlier in his career.

1/3 “It’s the antidemocratic weaknesses in our system that created the vulnerabilities that let this happen – the electoral college and voter suppression that gave Trump a minority victory in 2016, the gerrymandering that has given a minority party majority power in Congress and statehouses,

“Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Ron Wyden sent a letter to Bill Pulte, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, to demand information about a mysterious Pulte donation that raises questions about whether Pulte’s nonprofit sent money to Trump while disguising it as charity to the poor.”

1/2 “The comments from the surviving soldiers echo similar reports that emerged shortly after the deadly attack, which accused U.S. military officials of stationing troops within Iranian missile range in a facility that had little to no protection against aerial attacks.

1/3 “Dhillon admits that her overall vision is not just slowing down civil rights in America but “turning the train around and driving in the opposite direction,” as she told the conservative Federalist Society after her appointment as head of the division.

1/2 “Removing customs processing from cities deemed hostile to Trump’s agenda would likely be met with immediate lawsuits and an outcry from most Americans, not just over the economic impact but also because people who don’t live near these airports often depend on them for connecting flights.

1/3 “In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with [Iran] demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents—including hundreds of children—dead in Lebanon

The regime change the world needs is in Israel and the United States!!!

1/3 “It is not hard to see how we got to where we are. The temptation now will be to rationalize this brush with disaster, even for Republicans to cheer Trump’s “negotiating prowess” or “restraint.” That would be a grotesque error. Dodging one calamity but ignoring the underlying pathology and

I do NOT appreciate my tax dollars being used to send the Vice President of the United States to campaign for an authoritarian dictator!!!

Garcia: We have a president threatening to destroy an entire population…yet the Republican Party and the Speaker who control our government are doing absolutely nothing.

Someday there will be a study done on how anxiety from the Trump years affected people's overall health, and I bet those results will add a significant amount of blood to his already bloody hands.

Enough is enough. House Republicans must join Democrats in stopping this madness and ending Trump's reckless war with Iran. kevinmullin.house.gov/2026/04/07/r...

Speaker Johnson must immediately call Congress back to end this war and stop Donald Trump’s madness.

1/2 “In reality, Trump has no problem with fraud as long as it’s committed by the right people. Whether it’s Noem, FBI Director Kash Patel using government-owned jets as personal Ubers, Donald Trump Jr.’s work from within the suspiciously unregulated Kalshi and Polymarket, Eric Trump’s

“The biggest absurdity here is that Trump is now focusing his war’s endgame on Iran’s willingness to open the strait. But the strait was open before Trump attacked Iran on February 28. Iran blocked it in retaliation for that attack.”

The American president has lost his mind.

“Republicans would rather incinerate billions of dollars by going into a war that no one wants instead of doing things that would benefit Americans. For all their talk of “America first” it seems like they’d rather focus their attention on an overseas conflict that wasn’t even approved by Congress.”

trump’s next pardon . . .

1/2 “The package that my generation enjoyed was no happy accident, and it’s misleading to contend that “the boomers took it all.” Measured by per capita GDP, the economy on average is more than four times as rich as it was during the postwar boom. Today’s problem is distribution.

Trump’s obscene budget.

“The vision President Trump has outlined for America in his budget is bleak and unacceptable. He wants to slash medical research to fund costly foreign wars. It doesn’t get more backward than that, and the only responsible thing to do with a budget this morally bankrupt is to toss it in the trash.”

1/3 “A Data for Progress survey found that 70% of respondents across age and party lines agreed that “our economic system is rigged in favor of corporations and the wealthy.” It’s for good reason. In 2017 and 2025, Trump championed and signed off on tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans,

““The Trump Administration – home to the biggest fraudsters on Earth – is trying to blame California for issues with THEIR federal programs,” Newsom said. “Glad to see the Feds finally taking seriously the fraud in the programs they themselves manage…only 15 months after Trump took office.”

1/2 ““Trump and his valet at the Defense Department, Secretary of Physical Training Pete Hegseth, are now making a dedicated run at turning the men and women of the armed forces into Trump’s personal and partisan army.”

“It was as if Trump threw all the possible things that might calm some Americans’ worries together and stitched it together like a foreign policy Frankenstein. In response, the price of oil surged and stock market futures tumbled.”
