This country has always had a greedy, corrupt, malevolent side, but it did a lot of good, too. Now all the good is being destroyed, leaving only the worst. The work of generations, gone in the blink of an eye. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/apr/12/united-states-trump-destruction

There's some coverage of JD's help for Russia's Hungarian puppet. There's some beat sweeteners abt how poor JD Vance has to try to clean up Trump's disastrous war. But little abt how JD went directly from sucking up to Iran's patron to negotiating "for the US" in Pakistan.

Wild that Trump has sent his son in law who has billions in business deals in the Middle East to negotiate with Iran and that isn’t a scandal that will end his presidency or even really mentioned by the networks

I always wondered why me saying that a war is going badly makes it my fault rather than the president’s or other leaders’. I don’t want my country messing up in consequential ways. “This war is going badly and shouldn’t have happened” is a criticism coming from a place that wants national success.

All of this was very foreseeable but lots of people spent the election prosecuting their precious factional disputes rather than rallying to prevent a fascist from taking office and so here we are.

All Republican members of Congress, no matter what other good and bad things they've done in their lives, will be remembered for choosing party over country and keeping this guy in office when it's clear that he's 100% unfit for office.

Ned Price: "There's no such thing as 'no harm, no foul' if Pres. Trump's promise of genocidal annihilation do not come to pass. The mere threat from the U.S. President carries generational reverberations in terms of our standing, allies, adversaries, and everyone in between." #IranWar #extremism […]

2.5 hours from the deadline after which "a whole civilisation will die", according to the President elected by a majority of Americans, even after he tried to stage an insurrection, and was found liable for sexual abuse. What a time to be alive.

U.S.-Israeli strikes have reportedly targeted the Iranian Aluminium Company in Arak, Iran's largest aluminum producer, a significant blow to the country's industrial backbone.

California Governor Newsom: “The Vice President is abroad campaigning for a dictator." “The President is threatening to wipe out an entire civilization." “Congress is on recess." “This is a total collapse of American moral leadership — at a historic scale.”

Multiple reports are showing heavily laden bombers in the air with fighter escorts & fueling planes. Iranian civilians have formed up around power plants & on bridges. Allied leaders are shocked at this unprovoked escalation by Trump. If he follows through, we are the evil we use to defend against.

Would it provide some cover if Trump’s handpicked coterie of sycophantic ex-Fox News hosts declared him unfit first? I mean, maybe, but at some point you’re effectively praying for a lightning strike.
