It's a legit joke when it comes to dumb stuff Trump does like tariffs, but this is war and it's an unholy mess

Someone needs to tell the American people what's going on in the Pentagon, and it obviously won't be Pete Hegseth, who is at war with America's senior military officers. My latest: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Remember this! Speaker Mike Johnson sent everyone home and disappeared. He knew what was coming: a war crime. Hakeem Jeffries is speaking truth to power while the Speaker hides. A vote on the War Powers Resolution is overdue.

Thank you, Senator Kim! All of Congress should return ASAP. But if Johnson and Thune do not call for the return, all Democrats should return anyway and be a visible presence. Speeches on the Capital steps, going to the Whitehouse, making a plan to constrain and contain Trump.

Republicans easily held onto GA14, the seat vacated by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene R-GA. But when you dig into the county numbers, you can see what happened - a 20-30 point shift to the Democrats.

Imagine being a moderate Republican and getting outflanked on decency, morality, and basic humanity by these four nutters

Remember: we’re not agreeing with Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, MTG, and Candace Owens: They’re agreeing with US.

Thank god. Christ. But seriously folks. We cannot continue to live like this.

Let’s be crystal clear: This war never should have started, and Congress cannot allow Trump to continue on this horrifying path of escalation. While we’re relieved Trump has walked back his threats of genocidal war crimes from this morning, words are not enough. 🧵

Massive Democratic overperformance developing in GA-14. Four fully reported counties are showing huge swings from 2024: Polk: D+22 Walker: D+24 Chattooga: D+25 Dade: D+29

Some thoughts about the President of the United States speaking about ending a civilization. The president speaks genocide. Anyone who has been involved in that conversation or associated actions would be complicit. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

Your reminder that even if the war truly ended tonight, and Iran let every tanker sail through the Strait tomorrow, oil does not teleport, wells have been shut down and will take weeks or months to reopen, storage facilities have been destroyed, and refining capacity has been significantly damaged.

What a blowout for Ds in Wisconsin.

Heavily Hispanic precincts on Milwaukee's south side are shifting sharply toward Democrats, with a 56-point swing in one Lincoln Village precinct. Taylor is getting 91% compared to Harris's 64%. Milwaukee County overall is running 11 points more Democratic vs. 2024.

Today has maybe the most whiplash vibe swing of any day ever. We woke up to a threat of genocide and nuclear war, learned that we might have a peace deal in the early evening, and went to bed with a historic Dem sweep in Wisconsin and NYC-DSA declaring overwhelming confidence in AOC as our champion.

‘A wow moment’: Democrats make big gains in key battlegrounds They notched a landslide victory in Wisconsin and cut into the GOP’s margins in Georgia’s reddest House district. www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

Democratic-backed candidate Judge Chris Taylor has won her election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court resulting in expanding the liberal majority to 5–2. Fantastic. 💙👊

“.. appears to be the first time any U.S. municipality will go to the ballot to kneecap data center development. .. an aggressive new tactic in an escalating movement to oppose the hulking artificial intelligence factories ..” @politico.com #Wisconsin www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

BREAKING: Democrat Alicia Halvensleben has defeated Republican Scott Allen in the Waukesha, Wisconsin mayoral race, flipping the seat. This marks a major political shift in one of the most historically conservative suburbs in the Milwaukee area and follows a night of major shifts away from the GOP.

It's moments like the one we are in when I have to say: liberals were right. We were always right. Yet we will never get credit for being right, because being right is not valued in America. HRC was right. They called her a bitch.

Thune should immediately call the Senate back into session. Trump’s unhinged threats to commit massive war crimes against Iranian civilian targets show an increasing mental and moral instability we can’t ignore.

The time to do something is now, and we must act.

This is simply genocidal language and is a horror in itself.

This👇

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.

Reports indicate that Iran has proposed a 10-point plan to end hostilities, featuring the lifting of all U.S. sanctions imposed since the George W. Bush administration. This demand is part of a broader, previously rejected, proposal for permanent ceasefire rather than temp pause. Confirmed by NYT.

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."

Ironically it was reported that the dead guy didn't want him. The attack almost certainly led to deeper extremism as opposed to less.

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

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.

Listen closely to what far-right figures are now saying about immigration, and you will find few differences from the xenophobic debates of the 1920s. www.hatecomestomainstreet.com/p/in-far-rig...

He still needs to be removed from office. A war powers resolution will not suffice. He circumvented Congress to start the war. He circumvented them on tariffs and appropriations. Why anyone thinks he'd adhere to a Congressional war powers resolution is beyond me.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” These are the words of the president of the United States, today. The president speaks genocide. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment. snyder.substack.com/p/the-presid...

I hope all the people who voted against Genocide Joe are feeling good this morning

If Trump does give an order to attack civilian targets that have no military value as a means of collectively punishing the Iranian people - and make good his threat to begin a genocide - Marco Rubio should resign and the military must refuse the order. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

23 people could stop this genocidal war criminal. That’s it. 23. 20 Republican senators and 3 republican reps in the house and he’d be out of politics forever. But they won’t. They’re addicted to power. A drug so strong they’d rather see a civilization die than give it up.

Right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is sounding the alarm on President Donald Trump’s “erratic” mental decline.

Alex Jones calling for Trump to be removed under the 25th Amendment. Laura Loomer now going after him for being disloyal.

Vets revolt after 'the most anti-veteran president in history' kills popular program #AlterNet

A U.S. Army staff sergeant and his wife arrived at his base in Louisiana last week, ready to start their new life together. Instead, ICE detained her. She was brought to the U.S. as a toddler. People like her should be citizens, not treated like criminals.

YOU GUYS The lead singer for the Spin Doctors wrote in to the UnJustified podcast to give us a hand with a jingle for our new segment about the presumption of regularity. 🤯😂

BREAKING: Another person has died in ICE custody, per required notification to Congress, marking 15 deaths in detention this year and 45+ since Trump took office again.

An Easter message from the president which should really force the VP and the cabinet to invoke the 25th Amendment.

These are the words of a rogue lawless president in charge of a rogue lawless nation. The US has zero credibility criticizing Vladimir Putin or Kim Jong Un or anyone else.

This is what happens when 77 million people take leave of their senses and put a manifestly unqualified, unfit, mentally ill narcissistic man-child in charge of the country and the world's most powerful. military. This is what happens when the media 'bothsides' election coverage.

“No other recent American president has talked so openly about committing potential war crimes, legal experts, historians and former U.S. officials say.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...
