"The coverup is ongoing... lack of investigation is an element of a coverup. And Kash Patel could be looking into some of the additional information that has been uncovered and they're refusing to do so to protect the president." @timmiller.bsky.social and @repsuhas.bsky.social talk Epstein.

Epstein survivor Danielle Bensky: Bondi deserved to be fired. But we’re really worried about Todd Blanche stepping in. He is not a suitable attorney general. He gave Ghislaine Maxwell a sweetheart deal. He has not listened to survivors.

Spoiler alert: nothing trickled down.

4 shipped made it through the Strait of Hormuz today. Iran still controls their uranium and over half their ballistic missiles. But hey, at least a bunch of Trump’s close friends made bank making anonymous bets on Polymarket!

1. Americans shouldn’t root for the US to lose. It’s like rooting for your plane to crash. 2. People shouldn’t celebrate returning to worse than the status quo like it’s an accomplishment. It’s like losing steak for a shit sandwich. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Gaming isn’t just a hobby for some people. It’s an escape when life is difficult. A temporary distraction. A way to connect with friends across the world. Video games help more than some people think. Wish more people could see that.

Raise your hand if you believe the Pentagon is hiding actual death and casualty numbers from us. 🙋🏾‍♀️

I get frustrated with democrats plenty. But right now, the republicans and their voters own this clusterfuck and let’s not get that confused. It would take like half a dozen of those assholes to stop all this and they won’t.

The Middle East is full of religious extremists who blindly revere evil men. Oops! I meant *The United States* not The Middle East.

Q: As of today, who controls the Strait of Hormuz? LEAVITT: We expect that the strait will be opened immediately Q: Who controls the strait right now? LEAVITT: *refuses to answer*

This president is the only president to negotiate with himself, in public, and lose collossally. This would be comical if his antics were not lethal and harmful

That's for sure. He is definitely not American citizens first.

Prime Minister of Spain Pedro Sánchez: “The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire just because they show up with a bucket.” 🍿

Hegseth said we’ve rendered Iran combat ineffective for years to come. Just today, Iran has launched attacks at UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Israel, damaging critical infrastructure (desalinization plants, oil pipelines, etc) Less than a week since they shot down an F-15 and an A-10.

We’ve gone from demanding freedom of navigation to fantasizing about toll booths in the ocean. Unreal.

TL;DR: we killed a bunch of people and blew up a bunch of stuff, all to end up in a worse position than we were in with Obama’s nuclear deal. (4/4)

This display of arrogance, contempt, and misogyny by Vance ALSO reminds me that, in a different timeline, we would have had First Gentleman Doug Emhoff displaying a secure masculinity in supporting, respecting, & acknowledging his wife's autonomy, ambition, intelligence, & also her delightful laugh.

Perfect opportunity for a passive aggressive sky-dive from Mrs Vance.

Vance has amnesia and does not realize the ceasefire “deal” was already broken by Israel He is confused because he hit his head on a couch on its way down.

Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have deep financial interests in the middle east. Moreover, they couldn't break up a fight in a T-ball game. Keep them TF away from any and all 'negotiations'.

15 people have died in ICE custody JUST THIS YEAR. That is 1 death a week. Under this regime, 2026 is set to be the deadliest year for ICE detention EVER. The need for guardrails and meaningful oversight could not be more urgent.

Massive Democratic overperformance developing in GA-14. Four fully reported counties are showing huge swings from 2024: Polk: D+22 Walker: D+24 Chattooga: D+25 Dade: D+29

Some thoughts about the President of the United States speaking about ending a civilization. The president speaks genocide. Anyone who has been involved in that conversation or associated actions would be complicit. And so we too must speak. Not only about crimes, but about their legal punishment.

This authoritarian threat will be treated with the scorn and derision it deserves. The main question is: Which Trump DOJ functionaries are foolish enough to bring on the humiliation, make-work, and possible professional discipline to humor him before it fails? I have my guesses.

Living in America is like being locked in a windowless room with a chimp holding a hand grenade. Sure, I'm relieved when he gets distracted and throws his own poop instead of pulling the pin, but in the end I'm still locked in a room with him.

Everyone understands this ceasefire was just so Trump didn’t look weak for not obliterating all of Iran’s critical infrastructure, right? Iran is already claiming the US gave them the OK to enrich uranium, so these talks almost certainly aren’t going to go anywhere.

(I told you guys this last week)

Your reminder that even if the war truly ended tonight, and Iran let every tanker sail through the Strait tomorrow, oil does not teleport, wells have been shut down and will take weeks or months to reopen, storage facilities have been destroyed, and refining capacity has been significantly damaged.

😕

This fucking DEMENTED TACO in the White House just flustered his way into giving Iran everything they wanted. How in the world was this level of incompetence able to happen? America is worse off today than they were before.

"Donald Trump plunged America into this Iran war without any plan, any objective, or any exit strategy." - Future Speaker Jeffries TACO Trump's ceasefire is nothing more than waving the white flag as gas prices skyrocket.

MAJOR BREAKING: Judge Chris Taylor, the Democratic-backed candidate, has won election to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. The result expands the court’s liberal majority to 5–2, extending its current ideological balance for years to come.

JUST IN: Liberals have won a decisive victory for the Wisconsin supreme court race tonight. Chris Taylor will join the supreme court, flipping a conservative-held seat. This expands liberals' majority on the court to 5-2. Why it matters: boltsmag.org/wisconsin-su...

I'm UW class of 94. Felt so sad for Wisconsin for so many years. Really proud now. *Btw OF COURSE I voted for Russ Feingold

I’m old enough to remember when Wisconsin was lost forever, doomed to be run by Scott Walker for all eternity

Liberal Justice Chris Taylor defeats conservative Justice Maria Lazar in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race

Iran, if you want to troll Trump, send a press release that says you’ll only have negotiations regarding the Strait with President Barack Obama or President Kamala Harris. Trump would self destruct. 🤣

And -165 schoolgirls

so we went from a world where iran didn’t control the strait to a world where they do -13 americans?

NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war. 100-130 ships pass the Strait daily. Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.

Before Trump started his stupid war, it was free for ships to go through the Strait of Hormuz. Now, America will pay millions of dollars for every ship that travels through the Strait. And Iran is going to use the money to rebuild the damage from Trump’s war. Trump screwed us.

I'm unsure if there'll be a set of circumstances that ever even rhyme with this though. Iran both had their foot on a uniquely vital jugular and also had been stripped of all fear of reprisal after the US already brought all its possible sanctions and bombs to bear a priori.

Literal Russo-Japanese War hours, except that Japan actually won the fighting part while blowing its economy to ribbons and Iran lost the fighting part while bloating its economy with sudden onset mass cash infusions.

My expectation for this war was 'everyone loses,' but to be honest, if those terms hold and Iran gets to pull in $40bn a year from the Strait to fund their proxies and build their nuclear program - if this is the deal - then honestly the Iranian regime simply...won.

So the terms of the ceasefire, if they held beyond the end of hostilities, would be Trump giving Iran something like 25-Iran-Deals worth of cash *per year* in exchange for not limiting their nuclear program at all, apparently (they have not promised to give up the HEU).

For comparison, the JCPOA ('Iran Deal') payment that everyone in MAGA excoriates was $1.7bn. The $2m-per-ship toll regime on the Strait would generate at normal traffic something like $40bn *each year* for Iran (120 ships per day at $2m per split 50/50 with Oman).

So apparently the ceasefire deal includes Iran continuing to charge tolls (split with Oman) on transit through the Strait, as reported by the NYT, AP and others. If that's true, I have a hard time seeing this as anything other than a capitulation by Trump. Just abject surrender.

$2 million per ship — to cross a Strait that was free six weeks ago. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/04/06/w...

TRUMP BACKED DOWN — who else is NOT surprised? ✋ #TACO
