If this holds, it's a strategic win for Iran. Humiliating defeat for the U.S. and Israel. Anyone who says otherwise is full of shit, and they know it. There is no both-siding this.

Not a single objective has been achieved. No regime change, no elimination of the missile launching capabilities, no commitment on the nuclear program. Iran now has a tollbooth at one of the world's busiest waterways. What an absolute fiasco.

It was not that long ago when conservatives had a chokehold on every branch of Wisconsin government, piles of Koch and Uline money, and seemed unstoppable. People worked FUCKING HARD to change that shit and now look at em. Change is always possible and never ever easy.

Segregationists did memory hole slavery for about 100 years and then integration meant that white students would learn about it honestly in school and they've been trying to memory hole it again ever since.

Vought has in fact written about his belief that the president is an elected dictator.

Any reasonable lawyer who has read the memo knows that this is not what it requires, so Mizzou is just performing racism to satisfy racists. Also this rhetorical slip was absolutely made easier by people who conflated DEI with race/affinity spaces and I hope everyone is learning their lesson.

again very funny to think that a critical pro trump message in 2024 was that he wouldn’t start world war iii

defend freedom by putting the living caricature of a corrupt gangster who feeds off of the misery of the public back into office!

no offense to the hungarian people but i’m sorry, the idea that hungary is some last bastion of “western civilization” is absurd. can’t overstate how much this post-liberal, national conservative nonsense makes you sound like a putz

Whenever someone says "there are no civilians in [country]," they are making an argument for genocide.

a sex pest real estate guy who lost money on his casinos got elected president twice because he played a deals man on tv and then he destroyed the global economy. baudrilliard would die if he wasn't already dead.

Oman and Iran seeing Trump somehow agreed to let them collect their entire GDPs in taxes on shipping

If you did not enjoy today, then call your reps and senators tomorrow and say this 👇

Hello from the Surprise City Council meeting. Tonight is the first city council meeting since DHS/ICE announced they are pausing the purchase of new warehouses leaving the proposed concentration camp in Surprise, AZ as one of the few that is moving forward. Views from the city hall entrance.

One of their moms???!! Ffs

It’s called the Cycle of Abuse or the Walker Wheel: calm followed by rising tension, the explosion of violence, the reconciliation, the incremental intensification of violence over time.

Another Dem win in Wisconsin: In traditionally red WOOD COUNTY, voters reelected a county judge who was appointed by Democratic Governor Tony Evers. Emily Nolan-Plutchak, the winner, is a longtime public defender. She defeated a Republican DA.

Cool, cool.

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

Every election post tonight is like "Wow the Democrats won the mayoralty in Racismville. Trump didn't just win Racismville but all of Klan-Guntruck County by 42."

I'm sure there will be no long-term consequences to all of us veering between hypervigilance over potential nuclear war and trying to go to work because none of us can afford to pay our bills and may still be trying to recover from health consequences from the pandemic we're pretending didn't happen

like you think i'm kidding but i will be mad forever

WHAT WE KNOW, 11pm: —Liberals flip seat on Wisconsin supreme court. —Also flip important school board seats in WI, OK, MO. —Dems win Waukesha mayor race. —GOP defends MTG's seat, but Dems way overperform. —Big MO county rejects property tax freeze.

If you think this is exhausting, imagine being Iranian.

Can’t wait until two weeks from now when Trump declares another victory in the Stupidest War by selling California to China and beaching three aircraft carriers inside the Panama Canal

Conservatives had already lost ground in 2024. The remaining conservative who just lost her reelection race (Puszkar) spoke up for banning a Toni Morrison book just last month. On my list of April races to watch: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

This is a big deal.

What a goddamn whirlwind of a day

democratic win in Tulsa. Ds have had some of their biggest swings in 2025-26 in Oklahoma, believe it or not.

It's happened: Wisconsin Republicans' mighty suburban WOW wall is now breached. Chris Taylor, the liberal candidate for supreme court, actually carried Ozaukee County today. (Flashback to last decade: Romney won here by 30%.)

OH. MY. GOD. THIS IS THE MILKY WAY SHOT BY THE ARTEMIS II CREW. LOOK AT ALL THOSE STARS!!!!

What a result: A Democratic-backed candidate has won the mayoral election in Waukesha, the biggest city in the notoriously conservative Waukesha County. Alicia Halvensleben will be the next mayor. She defeated a GOP state lawmaker.

BREAKING: Democrat Alison Page has defeated longtime Republican incumbent Dan Toland in the River Falls, Wisconsin mayoral race, flipping the seat from red to blue. Toland had held the office since 2012.

RESULT: The right took over the Francis Howell school board, a large MO district in the St. Louis suburbs, earlier this decade; followed book bans & restrictive policies on LGBTQ students. Tonight, the slate endorsed by the teacher's slate swept, and the last remaining conservative was ousted.

BREAKING: Democrat Alicia Halvensleben has defeated Republican Scott Allen in the Waukesha, Wisconsin mayoral race, flipping the seat. This marks a major political shift in one of the most historically conservative suburbs in the Milwaukee area and follows a night of major shifts away from the GOP.

Congratulations to Democrat Chris Taylor for winning the Wisconsin Supreme Court election! Every time there has been an election last year and this year, the Democratic candidate way over performs. There will be a blue tsunami this November.

I know it's late, but I need you all to realize that as soon as we started paying attention to these races, Moms for Liberty & their ilk, started losing. They exploited a window of apathy & did a lot of damage, but they just cannot win when actually opposed. No unopposed elections anywhere.

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.

Scotland temporarily ran entirely on wind power as turbines generated over 200 percent of national electricity demand.

America is now on the clock. We have two weeks to remove Donald Trump from office through the 25th Amendment or impeachment. Not saying that will happen, only saying that a nation with even a shred of decency would get to work on it immediately.

The people of Iran aren’t free. Iran can now charge tolls. The nuclear material sits EXACTLY where it did, in the same amount, since June. The regime is still in place with a younger ayatollah. Iran still was launching missiles, now with more money to rebuild. Period

You could just say we're fucked and save the words.

Trump has failed so epically in Iran that not only was there no regime change or surrender, but now the rogue country controls the formerly open Strait of Hormuz A truly stupendous political and economic disaster for America-and the entire world

I'm on the train back to DC – I call on all my colleagues to come back, too. Congress must vote to end this war IMMEDIATELY.

In a sane world, in a world of accountability, the man who incited a deadly insurrection five years ago never would have been able to hold public office again. That reckless, abusive man needs to be removed from office. Now.

Don't taco Tuesday this shit. Millions of people spent the day wondering if they would get vaporized, and no one in our government stood up to him. Nothing cutesy about it.

bring back consequences and shame

everything we are seeing now is the consequence of having a political environment in which indifference to the deaths and suffering of other people - even by the state whose supposed responsibility is to safeguard their welfare - is a superpower rather than a political liability

the levels of elite impunity we are seeing now and the levels of war crimes we are seeing now are two aspects of the same path of historical development. right now they see war as our problem (and their investment opportunity). it is world historically important that we make war their problem again
