During Trump's speech to the nation on April 1, U.S. stock futures plummeted, erasing about $550B in 25 min. On April 2, 40 nations, discussed ways in which they could work to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. The U.S. was not invited. Why do most U.S. Congresswomen and men continue to support him?

We focus on Drumpf too much. We must remove Lindsey & his ilk from public life. (He's being primaried by authors of Proj 2025!) Many great Dem candidates to chose from South Carolina! Primary June 9, 2026. www.greenvilleonline.com/story/news/p... #DemsUnited #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #voteBlue

. An hour after announcing his resignation, the Army Chief of Staff, Randy George said: "A madman will lead the great US military to ruin." 🖕 Hegseth and his boss ! .

🚨 Ever Alvarenga, an asylum seeker, was driving to work Thursday morning when he was rear-ended by an ICE vehicle. He is still in the hospital after suffering significant injuries to his head, chest, back, & hands. [1/2]

Russell Voght claims the education department serves "unborn children" with disabilities. That makes no sense.

The pedophile psychopath is now kidnapping Iranians who live in America and using them as hostages. 😳👇

I really played myself when I picked a job that requires me to watch a Nick Shirley interview with a guy named Big Balls, didn’t I?

TONIGHT IN TEL AVIV: Ben Gvir’s police violently broke up an anti-war demonstration, arresting Standing Together co-director Alon-Lee Green & activist Nadav Oren. No matter how much they try to silence us, we refuse to stop protesting against Netanyahu’s cynical forever war!

We’re not all going to agree on this, and that’s fine. AIPAC donations aren’t a dealbreaker for me. What is? Weakness. I need a candidate who can take Trump and Republicans head on, not someone chasing right-wing talking points to win back a slice of young white dudes who already chose MAGA. 🧵

Trickle down economics is a hoax. This t-shirt is not. Get yours today and help me spread the word about this economic myth. https://bit.ly/4v94gzU

Well, a ton of them voted for him...

Grim Reaper Russ Vought is MIA “Brendan Boyle asked why Trump admin official Russ Vought has been afraid to testify before the House Budget Committee”

Marco Rubio said Iran would be 'much different country' if it spent money on people instead of weapons The U.S. secretary of state made the comment during an appearance on "Good Morning America." Imagine if America did the same thing!

Can we please start calling the GOP that? “The Nazi Republican Party”.

From Diaper Diplomacy: At an Easter lunch, Trump on Iran: “We blasted the hell out of them.” On NATO: “They’re a paper tiger.”

Great work!

You can use our new database to explore the financial disclosures — and potential conflicts of interest — of President Donald Trump and more than 1,500 of his appointees. Here's what Trump budget chief Russell Vought has disclosed:

A tape of Trump talking about taxes was accidentally released. He said the only job of the federal government is the military. Programs for people like Medicaid and child care should be paid by the states. They took it down after copies were made.

This regime is so out of step with America! Even MAGA wants better healthcare and no more wars, so they propose more money for war. Unbelievable

Democrats vow to fight Trump’s ‘morally bankrupt’ request for billions in additional defense and DHS spending– live Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer says that his party ‘will make sure it never passes’ www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Why do we live in such a childish, stupid country? A country that wastes its money on useless billion dollar aircraft carriers, when it could be spending those tax dollars to actually help its citizens like sane countries.

www.npr.org/2026/04/03/n... NPR is being too kind. With the ridiculous redactions that were made, anyone could argue that there's not enough evidence, but there weren't supposed to be redactions on names other than survivors. Let's see who was named! #USDemocracy

The news that a second U.S. fighter jet was shot down by Iran has punctured the Trump administration’s claims about its complete dominance of the skies over Iran — along with the veneer of impenetrability it has attempted to construct over the past month.

I'm hoping for an uglier ending

Also Macron, speaking for many, has this explanation: "When you want to be serious, you don’t go around saying the opposite every day of what you just said the day before. And perhaps you shouldn’t talk every day.”

JFC! I don't want to see this crap from the federal government.

Dead on arrival!

Moulton, a retired U.S. Marine captain who fought in the Iraq War, told MSNOW: “I know active duty Marines who now refer to Pete Hegseth’s dept as the dept of war crimes. Under Hegseth’s leadership, they do things like this, destroy civilian infrastructure, which, just to be clear, is a war crime.

“They were going to come. It was going to be a big thing. We were going to go to the beach right after. All those plans had to go out the window because they said ICE would be here."

The Generals are gone. The AG is gone. We started a war. Gas is up. Healthcare is up. Prescriptions are up. The rich are richer. The poor are poorer. Protesters have been killed. Service members have been killed. The law is a suggestion. The constitution is a memory. We. Are. Not. Okay.
