ICE knows that the American people are deeply disgusted by its recent behavior. Makes for catastrophic optics. So, they are adapting. It won't work. They want to operate in the dark so they don't have to answer for their actions.

Trumps House majority is 218-214. Four seats. That's the wall between Trump and full accountability for Iran, for Epstein, for all of it. We pick up seats, we take the gavel, and suddenly the man who threatened to wipe out a civilization has to answer for it. He hasn't broken election day yet.

Tucker Carlson said Trump was threatening "a war crime, a moral crime" and seemed to suggest Trump might be the antichrist.  More than 70 Democrats called for his removal.  And then nothing happened.

Jared Moskowitz, Democrate, bought Lockheed Martin stock at least four times while sitting on the House Foreign Affairs Committee in the leadup to Trump’s illegal war on Iran. He profited from the Iran war. Members of Congress should be ban from trading stocks. By Oliver Larkin.

The Lincoln Project: What is Melaina Trump afraid of?

The Lincoln Project: The jig is up. The tough guy act, the big talk, the "nobody negotiates like me", it's all a con. Always has been. And now the whole world is laughing at us, Trump isn't just embarrassing himself, he's embarrassing America, weakening America.

In Arizona’s 1st Dist. Neighbors who had never met sat side by side. People who’ve felt unheard finally had a place to speak. It didn’t feel like politics—it felt like community. At Rick McCartney’s Town Hall, we didn’t talk at people—we listened. Openly. Honestly. Respectfully.

AP Exclusive: Trump administration admits a glaring error in its New York health fraud accusations www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Stated by unknown, worth repeating. Trump’s delusions are intensifying. He still thinks that he is staring in a reality TV show and that the outrageous things he says and does will jack up the ratings. Unfit for any public office, let alone the presidency!

AARP: Washington special interests are peddling ideas to Congress about OUR hard-earned Social Security. They are making headlines. But lawmakers ignore AARP advocates at their own peril !!!!!

Women's March This administration has declared war on women. On our bodies. On our schools. On our vote. We refuse their terms. May 1, we prove it. May 1. No work. No school. No shopping.

Sam Youngman: Fox & Friends delivered a surprisingly candid accounting of the Trump administration’s Iran ceasefire than you might expect from the network’s remarkably pro-Trump. It admitted that the objectives set forth by the Trump administration had not been met. More: Mediaite

SM Youngman: WASHINGTON ― The part of the U.S. government that’s supposed to decide whether we go to war is on vacation while President Donald Trump threatens the wholesale annihilation of a foreign country. More: HuffPost

Sam Youngman: That big jet we bought for Krisit Noem. Well now Melania is going to use it. We’ve got a few suggestions for where she can take it. Man, one thing we learned from this war is that Iran’s meme game is elite. President of the United States is a fucking idiot. But we knew that part.

Democrats Call for Trump’s Removal Over Threat to End ‘Whole Civilization’ www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/w...

A man who threatens to erase a people is a war criminal. He fired any lawyers who'd say no. He has surrounded himself with yes-men like Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth. So, the people are the last line of defense. That's us. Flood Congress today. Demand that they impeach the motherfuckers:

Sick people among us. Rex Heuermann, 62, A former architect admitted Wednesday to killing eight women and dumping their bodies in Long Island's Gilgo Beach, more than a decade after the discovery of human remains sent shock waves through the New York City suburb and captivated the nation.

The war isn't over. We need to get rid of this mad man asap. Lincoln Project: Don't get us wrong, we're genuinely relieved he didn't follow through on his threat to murder 90 million people. We can’t believe that bar exists for the President of the United States, yet here we are.

Sam Youngman: This idiot is just determined to make the Iraq War look smart. It sure seems like Captain Cankles finally fucked up so bad that he can’t bullshit his way out of it. Unfortunately, the whole world is probably going to pay the price. www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

Hegseth even fired the chaplain, who is Black. This is now two weeks of reporting about how Hegseth is instituting racist policies at the Pentagon as he tried to resegregate military leadership. Hope he looks forward to testifying about it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

The headline is that Pete Hegseth fired three generals, including the Army chief of staff. He did it in wartime, without explanation. That is not normal, it is a warning sign about the command climate now taking shape inside the Pentagon. open.substack.com/pub/michaeld...

The co-founder of The American Conservative (the magazine that basically launched JD Vance's political career) just went public with a message for the VP: Invoke the 25th Amendment, end it now. That's not the resistance. That's Trumps own people. Lincoln Proj.

In Iran over 3,000 people are already dead. Hundreds of women. More than 400 children. This is the real human toll of Trump’s destruction. And now he’s demanding another $200 BILLION to keep the bloodshed going. Americans don’t consent to this war. And we refuse to pay for it with our tax dollars.

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.), Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) and Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) told HuffPost they stood by their decision to vote for the Laken Riley in 2025, GOP-authored law, that allowed Trump to expand the # of undocumented people subject to mandatory detention.
