WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social on Fox: “February 11th, Netanyahu was in the situation room sitting at the table… Israel pushed us to do this.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

GUARDIAN: “Israel has carried out its largest attack on Lebanon since its war with Hezbollah began, killing at least 254 and wounding 837, an assault that prompted Iranian officials to warn Tehran could withdraw from the ceasefire…” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

Remember when Trump fawned over his wealthy donors, calling them “rich as hell” while promising to give them tax cuts? That's one campaign promise he didn't break. But everyone else didn't get so lucky. [@itep.org]

Iran's parliament speaker now says a ceasefire is “unreasonable” — mentioning Israel’s continued bombing of Lebanon

HAARETZ: “Israel botched the war + shattered its standing in 🇺🇸” www.haaretz.com/middle-east-...

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

🇺🇸....2026 The Art Of The Deal.......😅

How the dementia-addled, malignant narcissist conman from Queens was conned into going to war in Iran with Israel. <gift article> www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

Chris Murphy: "He's not telling the truth. But if you accept even part of the Iranian statement, Donald Trump has agreed to give Iran control of the Strait of Hormuz. That is extraordinary and cataclysmic for the world."

Criticizing Israel is not antisemitic, because Israel and Judaism are not one and the same. Here’s proof:

🔥 KHANNA: “Do you think FDR would’ve threatened to wipe out a civilization? Lincoln? Donald Trump has compromised every moral standing we have as a nation.” @khanna.house.gov goes on offense on Fox (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

Smith: He is clearly unfit to lead this country.

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.

Garcia: I think that Trump has lost his mind. He's not capable of being the president and he should be removed using the 25th amendment immediately. I don't trust anything that that man or the people around him actually do. He has proven to be the most corrupt person to ever be president.

Not one word of this is hyperbole.

“We can’t last 34 more months of what we’ve had happen over the last 14. He’s only going to get worse. He started a war that could tank the global economy without any end in sight and without any plan. We can’t survive this”

And the beat goes on. @maddow.bsky.social covered this last night; thought I'd share. <gift article> www.nytimes.com/2026/04/07/u...

Donald Trump is deranged. He must be impeached and removed from office. Republicans who don’t stop him will have blood on their hands, and anyone who carries out an order to bomb civilian targets will be complicit in war crimes and will be held accountable.

CNN: "In the initial statement from DHS, they said these two migrants had attacked the ICE agents in Minneapolis with the shovel, but what this video shows is this was not the case ... the two ICE agents made false statements under oath."

Ansari: "Every person in this country needs to be calling R members of Congress relentlessly. Of all of the issues that have come up over last year, all have been devastating, but we're talking about potential for nuclear war here. That is the language Trump is using & we shouldn't pretend it's not"

A reminder that the Heritage Foundation architected Project 2025 with Viktor Orbán in mind. Kevin Roberts called modern Hungary “the model” for conservative statecraft. Far-right authoritarianism is a globally collaborative movement.

Trump: “A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will … We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end”

I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.

Yes, and Jeffrey Dahmer was just trying a high protein diet.

Apparently, he doth persist. Vote him out!!! <gift article> www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/u...

Kim: Three weeks of the war in Iran could have funded vision, hearing, and dental coverage for every senior in America on Medicare. I mean, it just gives you a sense of the trade-off.

"The warehouse currently has 4 toilets, 2 water fountains and an 800-gallon-per-day water allocation. "A facility housing 1,500 people would require roughly 200,000 gallons of water per day, according to local utility estimates... www.projectsaltbox.com/p/ice-approv...

Truth to Trumpturds.

"Trump and Bondi briefly sat near each other during the Supreme Court hearing on birthright citizenship, but the president soon switched chairs. Later, Bondi would ask Trump if she could keep her job until the summer. The president declined." (gift link)

🔥 🔥 Country Singer @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social: “Let me translate for you — fuck your kids. Fuck your health care. We can’t pay for it because we’re too busy making YOU pay for meaningless wars in the Middle East so we can cut taxes for the rich.”

🙃

Raskin: "It doesn't give me a lot of comfort that Todd Blanche is now the acting AG. This is the guy who transferred Ghislaine Maxwell from the higher security prison to the low security prison camp in Texas."

Raskin: "The president might be taking from all of this the idea that he needs a more skilled fighter on his behalf, but in fact he should take it as a sign that the country has had enough of all of the obstructionism and cover up."

But we have all kindza $$ for war and blustering bullshit! www.kget.com/news/state-n...

BREAKING: Iran President Pezeshkian releases a lengthy public letter addressed to the American people ahead of Trump's address, defending its actions, denying it poses a threat, and blaming the U.S. for escalating conflict—while warning that continued attacks will deepen instability and resentment.
