Visual aid for the people in the back: Pete Hegseth is profiteering off war. Putting service members at risk, decisions getting people killed, and somehow turning it into a money-making venture. Exploitation for profit. And it’s not just Hegseth.

The 25th Amendment is not enough. Impeachment is not enough.

Lawrence O'Donnell accurately explains here what the #25thA was made for. His dignity in presenting Trump’s vulgar post about his war is high above that man, who has none. But the 25th would only remove Trump ! ... What we NEED is to apply Article II, Sect. 4 and remove his entire government !!

Contrary to what Donald Trump says, we are NOT respected by our allies, well, at least not him or his corrupt, incompetent administration.

Speaking of, none of this is normal… Acting AG Todd Blanche professing his love for Donald Trump: “Thank you very much. I love you, sir.”

As if ⛽️, fertilizer, & food prices weren’t high enough!

Update on Chad Bianco, Republican candidate for Governor of California— The CA Supreme Court has finally weighed in. California Supreme Court halts Republican sheriff's ballot investigation. A win for voters — requesting "additional measures to protect the integrity of the seized items"

📌By releasing a 10-point framework for talks to end the war, Iran is dictating terms to Trump, not the other way around. We are in a far weaker, dangerous position now than we were a month ago, and certainly since the peace agreement Obama negotiated a decade ago. This is criminal and disgraceful.

📌UPDATE: -The Strait of Hormuz is not open. -Israel is still shelling Lebanon. -JD Vance is courting dictators, and pissing off the Pope. -Trump is still lying. In the others words, chaos reigns, and nothing has changed.

The prime minister of Lebanon, Nawaf Salam, has accused Israel of killing unarmed civilians in Lebanon and attacking densely populated areas, particularly in the capital city of Beirut. No pay wall.

NYT: “No oil tankers have crossed the strait since the cease-fire was announced, according to data from Kpler, a global ship-tracking firm.”

I'd really like to see leadership calling for impeachment and removal, regardless of whether they have the votes to get it done. Same way we called for marriage equality before we had the votes. A leader's job is to lead. If a genocidal threat isn't impeachable, then nothing is.

The Trump admin is in full damage control mode following Trump's surrender to Iran. The latest 👉 youtu.be/oh0xt5Qkl_o

Art of the Deal 🤡

🤣

Trump is now begging to be business partners with Iran. Think about that. Reminder: there is zero evidence that what Trump is saying is true. None. Iran, however, is positioned to cash in and make more money than ever before.

The entire world is looking at Thune and Johnson now. Something must be done. His posts today have been completely, 100 percent bat shit crazy. It's not OK. It's dangerous. And something must be done. bsky.app/profile/meid...

So, in his addled mind, Iran is good now? A partner? The incoherence flowing out of the White House today is breathtaking. It's clear that he has to go, or let others lead now. bsky.app/profile/ronf...

The scale of the killing in Israeli strikes on Lebanon Wednesday is "horrific", the UN rights chief said, urging the international community to help end the unfolding "nightmare." u.afp.com/Sbth

A commenter notes that "Trump managed to be both Hitler and Chamberlain in the same negotiation. An unprecedented feat." 😭

“This is a trans-national effort, funded by Russian oil, to replace Western liberalism with a pro-Russian ideology... Orbán is not just the puppet that gives this packaged ideology a European face... he oversees the money laundering vehicles to fund the larger network” emptywheel.net/2026/04/07/p...

I like this because it articulates the conservative concept of freedom in a nutshell. You have the freedom to do x, except you don't, because I don't want you to. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Watch this and share widely please.

Thank goodness we have other sources. I just hope the rest of the US voters avail themselves of these non-mainstream sources!

Sky News: "While Trump, the so-called leader of the free world, sits rage-posting on SM like a man screaming into a void, France, Japan, Philippines, & UK are quietly, methodically cutting deals with Iran. The world has moved on & US Mainstream Media is not covering a bit of this."

It's clear Trump has failed, our path has become unsustainable, and he should no longer be leading this great nation. It's our responsibility to force a big course correction on the regime, now, and not wait until January. Don't know how, but we must try 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/trump-is-a...

If any other nation invaded a sovereign nation and killed hundreds of civilians the USA would condemn it. But with Israel they defend it. This isn’t justice. This is literally how world wars begin. The US must stop tying our fate to Netanyahu’s fate—or we’ll all suffer irreparably as a result. 2/2

BREAKING: After the ceasefire, Israel today bombed Lebanon and killed another 100 people. Citing the breach Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz. A reminder that Israel has broken the Gaza ceasefire hundreds of times with impunity and without consequence. And now they breach this ceasefire. 1/2

I spoke to my city council on the need to protect our residents from ICE fascists. I encourage everyone to speak to your city council to demand justice for all people in our country.

CNN’s Harry Enten: “Holy Toledo! The liberal for WI Supreme Court exceeded Harris 2024 by 21 points. Largest liberal win in an open seat in 30+ years. GA-14, the Democrat exceeded Harris by 25 pts. Largest Dem special overperformance since AL 2017 Senate. All suggests an easy Dem win in the House.”

Virginia has a special election on April 21. If the referendum is approved, Virginia will temporarily redraw its congressional map to fight back against GOP gerrymandering in Texas, Florida, Missouri and North Carolina that is stealing House seats. VOTE YES to fight back! 👊 #StopTrumpVoteYesVA

Mayor Mamdani chats with New Yorkers while walking the six miles from City Hall to Gracie Mansion, fulfilling the promise he made in his inauguration speech to “be outside” as Mayor — “because this is a government of New York, by New York, and for New York.”

Of course it was a threat to use military force against the See. What else could it possibly have been? And even if it could possibly have been something else, what subtler tactic would this administration be likely to use? They're a Mafia family. They threaten. It's what they do.

Time for a Holy Crusade I guess... anyone wanna come help liberate America?

Freaking unbelievable! Who in their right mind threatens the Pope and tries to use the Pope and the Vatican as political trophies? And in a midterm election year! You just can’t make this stuff up!

Threatening the Pope…wow. Why is Under Secretary of Defense being referred to as the Under Secretary of War in this article? The Pentagon is still legally and technically the Department of Defense.

UPDATE: Letters from Leo can now independently confirm that the meeting took place — and that the Vatican was so alarmed by the Pentagon’s tactics that Leo shelved plans to visit America. Some officials saw their reference to an Avignon papacy as a threat to use military force against the Holy See.

Netanyahu Declares Ceasefire Is “Not the End” as Iran War Spirals Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is destroying Trump’s ceasefire deal—and he’s proud of it.

Explains why we can't have healthcare....

What a f*cking waste of lives and money. 😠

This precious baby was one of my 2019 rescues. He lives the good life with one of my friends now.

A win! The California Supreme Court just ordered Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco to halt his investigation into the November 2025 special election and preserve the 650,000+ ballots he seized.

Donald Trump entered the ceasefire talks with Iran like Adolf Hitler—and left like Neville Chamberlain.
