Marco Rubio explains that the Trump administration's goal now is merely to reopen the Strait of Hormuz -- the prevailing state of affairs before Trump launched his pointless war

Pritzker: "I think the man has dementia. I don't really understand how it works up there for him."

Trump has successfully influenced another impressionable member of the House. The cost of this influence is a commitment to support all of Trump's initiatives, regardless of their rationality.

Senate Republicans have slipped $1 billion for White House Ballroom security enhancements into their immigration enforcement funding bill the one they’re trying to rush through Congress this month.

Sad thing is, I expect most Americans to not know about this.

Trump’s now stating people might have to vote twice. They are attempting to create chaos as a setup for the midterms. This administration doesn’t care about free and fair elections. They rely on gerrymandering to cling to power, all to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

Remember when they told everyone taxpayers wouldn’t pay a penny?

⛽ Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on May 5, per AAA: • Regular: $4.48 (⬆️ $1.50 since war in Iran began on Feb. 28) • Premium: $5.34 (⬆️ $1.91 since war began) • Diesel: $5.66 (⬆️ $1.80 since war began)

From raid to triumph. 🏆 On Monday, Hannah Natanson and the WaPo won the Pulitzer for Public Service for coverage of the Trump-Musk "DOGE" initiative. The win follows a chilling escalation in government pressure.

NEWS: Trump judicial nominees refuse to say if he can run for a third term. Trump suggests running for a third term afterwards. Hegseth caught lying under oath to Congress. Justice Department faces staffing crisis. Subscribe to support my work: open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

I Googled crowd sizes for PGA tour events and it averages about 40,000. I know 100 people compared to 40,000 to watch golf isn't a legitimate polling metric but the 33% approval rating the MSM claims he owns seems like a juiced # when fans boycott HIS event at this scale.

So here we are again. POTUS threatening to destroy a country because he does not understand his actions. Project Freedom was an escalation tactic. Iran responded in kind. Now he is mad about that. This is infuriating to people that understand how this works. #IranWar #ProjectFreeDumb

just seconds after describing his war on Iran as "a military operation," Trump slips and calls it a "war"

The Trump administration has taken over full control of what appears on National Park Service websites. For decades, park staff managed their own sites, working closely with local communities and tribal nations to tell the stories of the places they know best. That’s over now.

. If you work in media shame on you. .

We went from "armed gunman mere seconds away from shooting the president is killed by Secret Service" to "guy with a shotgun falls down on a different floor well outside the entrance of the ballroom and we can't find the bullets because that just happens sometimes" awfully fast.

Rudy Giuliani did absolutely everything he could for Donald Trump, destroyed his reputation for him, only to be discarded and abandoned, and now as he’s dying used for Trump’s preening. That’s destiny for you.

Trump’s a demented, bigoted, narcissistic, vulgar, cowardly, fairly insightful about Bill Maher, vindictive, evil man.

May Day: There were huge anti Trump protests all across America. Did you hear about it in the corporate media?

⛽ Average U.S. gas prices per gallon on May 1, per AAA ⛽ • Regular: $4.39 (⬆️ $0.09 from yesterday, ⬆️ $1.41 since war in Iran began on Feb. 28) • Premium: $5.24 (⬆️ $1.38 since war began) • Diesel: $5.57 (⬆️ $1.81 since war began)

🚨 NEWS: The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit just rolled back nationwide access to the abortion pill mifepristone—BLOCKING telehealth prescriptions and mail delivery allowed under a 2023 Food and Drug Administration policy.

“The name of [an ICE] officer accused of strangling a man in Fitchburg during an immigration arrest has been revealed in court, despite the federal government’s attempts to keep his identity a secret. The officer’s name is David Jackson, an acting supervisory detention and deportation officer.”

Israel kidnapped 211 European Nationals this morning 1,000km from Israel, for committing the great crime of trying to bring food to Gaza where people are dying every day from starvation. You won't see this on the news though, and no major politician will mention it.

He said what?

Epstein's suicide note has been sealed in a NYC courthouse for 7 years. His cellmate found it in a graphic novel. Federal investigators never saw it. Documents were shredded outside the jail during the active investigation. The NYT is petitioning to unseal it. Watch this.

BREAKING: We're suing Louisiana officials for suspending the state's primary election after voting has already begun. On the heels of a Supreme Court decision that eviscerated protections for voters of color, elected officials jumped at the chance to disenfranchise people — we won't allow it.

In the 24 hours since the Supreme Court's majority ruled to demolish the Voting Rights Act's remaining protections, Louisiana and Tennessee have already signaled that they'll redraw their congressional maps with the clear effect of shutting Black voters out.

Many Americans are choosing which groceries they can afford this week, meanwhile Trump today was choosing between marble and onyx for his ballroom. Man of the people!

If voting didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be working so hard to try to stop us from doing it.

Major update: Democrats pledge to fight fire with fire and look redistrict several states to eliminate GOP seats. Major new Epstein developments, including a hidden note. Trump demands cognitive tests as he lashes out at Republicans. And more. Subscribe to support my work:

Forensic analyst hired by WaPo determined: Allen was pointing a shotgun, not a hand gun. Shotgun was not discharged. Shotgun fires shells filled with buckshot, handgun shoots bullets Secret Service agent took a bullet from a hand gun. The end.

Israel kidnapped hundreds of people from the Global Sumud Flotilla this morning. They were in Crete 1,000km from Israel. But despite this being international Piracy and Kidnapping and being a gross violation of International Law. Nobody has even mentioned it.

Federal prosecutors say former FBI Director James Comey's use of the term “86” on Instagram was a threat “to do harm" to President Trump — but some food service workers say the term is "everyday lingo" to them.

It cost me $177 to renew my driver license today. Requiring certain ID to vote without making that ID easy, accessible, and free is 100% a poll tax.

I can’t stress enough that deciding a law is “no longer needed” is so far outside the realm of what any court should be doing

Two photos. Same room. Same flags. Same astronauts. In one, the President stands with them, smiling, centered, human. In the other, the President sits scowling, rambling, diminished. Four astronauts. Two presidents. And the faces tell you everything.

You won't have seen it on the News but right now Israel is destroying 600,000 homes in Lebanon, to move 2m out of 22% of Lebanon, so they can steal it all for themselves. A war crime not seen since Hitler, or Gaza.

The face of someone who’s devoted their life to service, science and space exploration needing to listen to some draft-dodging, out-of-shape bozo brag that he easily could’ve been an astronaut.

The Supreme Court and GOP are about to make redistricting a complete mess nationwide. It’s going to become pure tit for tat. Some seats flip red, some flip blue, and by the time the dust settles everything just evens out. But the whole country will be gerrymandered in the process.

If you want to see the latest attack on me, it's that I cited Kaitlan Collins' tweet in a report (a tweet that is still up), took it down, and then corrected the story. First, the attacks were he doesn't cite his sources. Now, the attacks are he is wrong for citing his sources.

Nearly as pathetic as the initial concession. Good thread showcasing conservative cowardice in the face of basic facts, though. I might even pin this one.

I've never seen someone back up and run away this quickly, this is wild. No fight left in these folk at all anymore, I can see why Trump's really worried about the midterms.

If American history was taught correctly.

Trump did this. End the war.

I sincerely wonder how much of the "Gen Z doesn't have sex/half of Gen Z are virgins" is because most women will not under any circumstances fuck MAGA cultists, while Gen Z's political divide fits squarely on their gender divide.

Let's all share this widely to help educate the DOJ.

HEGSETH: Their nuclear facilities have been obliterated SMITH: Whoa whoa. We had to start this war, you said, bc the nuclear weapon was an imminent threat. Now you're saying it was obliterated? HEGSETH: They had not given up their *ambitions* S: So Operation Midnight Hammer accomplished nothing
