A new wholly corrupt settlement handing your money to Trump cronies. It’s notable for several reasons: /1 www.politico.com/news/2026/04...

So now Pete Hegseth has fired the Secretary of the Navy and the Chief of Staff of the Army, both in the middle of a war, both with no public or known explanation? Seems fine.

As Murphy says, "we've never seen a foreign conflict mismanaged in public like this before."

It's absolutely mental when he lays it all out for people, especially when he quotes Donald verbatim. 🧵

Senator Chris Murphy goes through the timeline of Donald Trump's war in Iran for the past two weeks. (Had to split it all up into 3 videos, but totally worth the watch) 🧵

Rep Jason Crow on House Republicans turning their backs on the Afghanistan refugees who kept our soldiers alive: I don’t care what Republicans say in private anymore, this is a public job.

This is a pitch perfect response from @aoc.bsky.social -- she mocks their whining, she brings the receipts and then she uses this move as a sign that Democrats are moving to offense now.

Below is a statement from the unionized workers of the Southern Poverty Law Center.

Maybe he'll order houses dropped on Iran.

Elections matter.

AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.

The Trump administration, after shutting down a resettlement program for Afghans who aided U.S. forces, is now negotiating to relocate up to 1,100 of those individuals to the Democratic Republic of Congo.

I asked X, Paramount, ABC, and Meta where their donations to Trump's Presidential Library went. None of them could give a clear answer. Tens of MILLIONS of dollars are missing. Why should Americans trust that this money isn’t going straight into Donald Trump’s pockets?

Dying in office is not supposed to be a fucking goal.

It’s time for the Democratic party to listen carefully to the next generation. Some come with storied pasts, some with deep intellectual realizations, some are just beginning to see a better path forward. Power and relative affluence bends everyone over time. Let the next generation step ahead.

KBJ all the way

Unfortunately, I predicted this. Before I knew the identity of the shooter, which, as Jonathan notes, compounds the indifference. But domestic violence is still treated as a "private matter," even when 8 children get massacred. bsky.app/profile/aman...

AOC: In some ways, you kind of want this guy on a golf course more than you want him in the Oval Office. But that also calls into question the 25th Amendment, because if the determination is that Trump cannot be trusted in the Situation Room, then he's not fit to be president.

This is what I expected from the coverage but the full podcast is much more sinister, they are disappointed because Trump has been insufficiently fascistic. They wish that instead of invading iran hed focus on crushing liberalism. bsky.app/profile/thep...

Donald Trump dodged the draft to fight in Vietnam but he's sure he would've done a better job. This kind of arrogance is exactly how America keeps getting stuck in long, bloody wars. We need real leadership and a plan and a goal to end this war in Iran, and he has none of it.

Tucker Carlson is not sorry, and yes, his former comments were intentional, and he knew it! It's time to push back on all the wolves who are literally coming out to save themselves, their careers, and pushing something else (like JD Vance). #SheShed #Liars thehill.com/homenews/med...

The DOJ was created to increase the capacity for federal prosecutions during Reconstruction esp. those to be brought under the newly enacted KuKlux Klan Act. Now the DOJ is being used to prosecute a storied civil rights organization whose central mission has been to expose & dismantle the Klan.

Nothing right about this at all...

Congratulations, Virginia! Republicans are trying to tilt the midterm elections in their favor, but they haven’t done it yet. Thanks for showing us what it looks like to stand up for our democracy and fight back.

UAE is holding Frump hostage. If he doesn’t agree to currency swap, they will settle oil sales in other currencies such as yuan or euro. This will add stress to US financial system, especially if other Gulf states follow suit.

If not for Trump, what's the emoluments clause for? What's impeachment for? What's the 25th Amendment for? What's section 3 of the 14th Amendment for? What are checks and balances for? The baddies are cherrypicking the Constitution the same way they do the bible: for their own benefit.

Why is the conversation always ONLY about Trump and not about the decades long movement on which he arose? Do you think getting rid of him fixing things? It will not.

As a matter of principle, you can either have a dinner that celebrates the First Amendment or you can have a dinner that features Donald Trump. You can’t have both because the president holds the freedom of the press in contempt. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

The guy who quoted a Pulp Fiction Bible verse thing is using freedom of religion to justify this insanely stupid new policy. There is no major religion that objects to vaccines.

No… Tucker, you are not welcome, forgiven, excused, or given the benefit of the doubt. You laughed on TV while children suffered and you did it for years, because the money was good. You can rot.

This company is out of control and its CEO appears in nearly every public appearance to be disturbed in some way. There are companies our government should have nothing to do with anymore—e.g., those associated with Elon Musk—and Palantir is on that list.

Flori-duh

If you go back and watch a movie like All the Presidents's Men, it will really hit you how massively our country has changed in my lifetime. It was unthinkable for any of today's headlines to ever even exist back then. A lot of you think it's always been this bad, but it hasn't. It really hasn't.

When Frump “rebuilds” the #KennedyCenter, will he trash the JFK statues?

Good am. Now 1,006 days left till January 20, 2029 - when Trump has to leave the White House. #Lameduck

Ohio! Let’s get Sherrod Brown back to the senate. You tried someone else & can see, it did not work out so well for the people of OH. Sherrod is union strong & is a huge advocate for the working class, seniors, farmers, veterans, & families. Stop corruption & vote blue! #ResistanceUnited #Pinks

JUST IN: 🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iranian state media says reports of a second round of US-Iran talks in Pakistan are false. "The news published by the US is part of their propaganda campaign and a 'blame game' aimed at pressuring Iran."

Is he proud that Vladimir Putin got what he wanted? What exactly is this 'proud achievement?' Abandoning an ally. Emboldening a dictator. Shredding American credibility. Shifting the bill to Europe while calling it strategy. JD Vance is proud of weakness, and history will not be kind.

JD Vance says ending American aid to Ukraine is one of the “proudest achievements” of this administration. What is he proud of exactly?

NEW: UAE scholar Abdulkhaleq Abdulla says the UAE no longer needs U.S. protection, calling American bases a “burden, not a strategic asset” and suggesting they should be closed. The United States’ standing in the region has been obliterated.
