Iran’s navy just announced the Strait of Hormuz is “open for business.” Translation: we’re inviting you in so we can decide later whether you leave. Gas prices say thanks.

Maybe the rats are starting to flee the ship.

More of these, please!

He wants to spend more time with his cellmate.

ICE acting director Todd Lyons is going to resign at end of May. Interesting.

Pam Bondi skipped showing up for her hearing and she continues to avoid our committee. Unfortunately for her, she has no choice but to negotiate coming in — or she’ll be held in contempt. We want answers from her, and we’re not stopping until we get them.

MAGA is so well-conditioned to pick up on Trump’s grievances and finger-pointing that they jump into action without him having to say another word. It happens this way over and over again; there’s no way that he’s unaware of these results every time he posts his vitriol. He knows, & he loves it!

JFC! This is awful! The Pope & his brother are being harassed by trump & MAGA crazies!

This is how corrupt Traitor Trump felon, pediphile criminal works to destroy, threaten, possibly kill people in our country. To post he’s Jesus is sign he’s evil, mentally unfit. He did this with young female children,got away with this for years as he was rich. Rich never serve time in prison.😡

Disgusting

maga is a domestic terror organization

Air a grievance and the 'stand back and stand by' gang reacts.

What happens next? I am on the edge of my seat with this story. Pope Leo is the coolest guy. Period.

Four days. Wrong brother got the K9s. Message delivered. This is how it starts. The Pope knows

Bomb threat. Pope's brother. 70-year-old retired principal. Four days after Trump publicly attacked the Pope AND publicly said which brother he liked better... K9 units rolled on the brother he didn't. This is a signal story. And I wrote it tonight. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

So…rhetoric gets turned up, targets get named, temperature rises… …and suddenly there’s a bomb threat tied to it. Yeah…Pope Leo’s brother just received a BOMB THREAT. But sure, it’s all just “talk,” right? Funny how “just words” keep producing very real consequences.

Todd Blanche demonstrates just how far someone hungry for power can fall...even when where they started from was already pretty damn low.

Trump wants a full scale war, this year. He wants totsl control of our government, hence him changing the White House structure to take it from the people.

Trump never intended to end the Iran war. His whole objective has been to invent justification to invoke Martial law & stop the midterm elections while destroying the US economy. Trump is an immediate threat to the USA & must be removed. TODAY #TrumpIsAnEnemyoftheUSA #RemoveTrump #ImpeachTrumpNow

3 carrier task force groups? That’s a lot of hurry up and wait. The sorties from the air groups are going to cost a fortune all by themselves. Perfect example of the no plan team in the WH.

I see it. The man who claims to have ended 8 wars can't end the one he started. So, escalate & pretend to be winning. JFC.

I just don't have any words for what he is being allowed to do. How many people is he going to have killed before this is all over.

Has congress even had one public hearing about the possibility of "going" to war? And exactly how many body bags does it take to call it a fucking war?

The only thing the Trump regime does consistently is lie.

Death March

At great cost to taxpayers

They said no ground troops. Then sent the 82nd Airborne. Words matter. So does the 82nd.

The USS George H.W. Bush is sailing around the tip of Africa right now... toward a war zone...carrying 6,000 Americans. A third carrier. 10,000 more troops arriving before April 22nd. That's the ceasefire deadline. Do the math. Full breakdown at the link. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Hungary's government just pulled CPAC's foreign funding. Orbán bankrolled American conservatives with taxpayer money for years. The new question: was any of it laundered Russian influence? Someone should find out.

Trump called the Pope "weak." Meloni...his closest European ally...called that "unacceptable." Trump called her "unacceptable." Apparently...nobody told him Catholics vote.

140 police officers were beaten. With flagpoles. Batons. Baseball bats. Four died. Today the Justice Department erased the convictions of the men who organized it. And called it justice.

They didn't just pardon them. They're erasing the convictions entirely. Not...you're guilty but forgiven. But...the guilty verdicts never should have happened. There's a difference. And it matters enormously for what comes next. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Donald Trump knows more about when his next Diet Coke will be consumed than he does about his next step with Iran. That is all.

The blockade is live. Iran called it piracy. Every ally said no. Oil hit $104. And Trump warned Iran they'll be "blown to hell." That's not foreign policy. That's a Truth Social post with a Navy.

Trump has already issued 1,600 pardons this term. Now he's promising to pardon everyone within 200 feet of the Oval. The radius keeps growing. At this rate...he'll pardon the squirrels on the South Lawn.

This is what peaks my interest. If Ungaro didn't know anything potentially dangerous to the Trumps, there was no need for Melania to try to preempt anything Ungaro might say. By holding that press conference, it suggests there *is* something being hidden.

This story isn’t about what was said. It’s about what triggered it. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Vance flew to Budapest last week to campaign with Orbán. Trump promised Hungary his "full economic might." Orbán lost by 30 points. The MAGA endorsement. Working as designed.

Yes...Iran has restricted the Strait since February 28th. What's new TODAY...is the US blockading from the outside... cutting off even the ships Iran was selectively allowing through. Same broken strait. Dangerous new layer.

Trump just made the most escalatory move of the entire conflict... ...and almost no one is explaining what it actually means. This isn’t just about Iran anymore. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Iran closed the Strait. So Trump is blockading it. From the outside. We are now blockading a strait we are demanding Iran open. You cannot make this up.

Iran hasn't talked to us since 1979. Vance flies to Pakistan to fix it. In a hotel. With Kushner. What could go wrong.

"I heard they have BIG couches here"

Iran brought 71 people to Islamabad. America brought a real estate developer… his boss's son-in-law… and a vice president running for president in 2028. And we're calling this a negotiation.

The talks are happening right now. Face to face. For the first time since 1979. And China is preparing to ship weapons to Iran… While Vance is sitting across from Ghalibaf. Read the honest breakdown. www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Trump is building a ballroom inside the White House. Without congressional approval. A federal appeals court just said…keep building for now. "National security reasons." A ballroom. For national security. That's where we are.
