Your vote is the firewall! 💙🗳️

He only cared about ONE thing...how it looked on TV. Enough has been said regarding the impossible healing job...not enough said about the depravity it takes to kill your followers to make good television.
Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.
He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).
Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.
And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.
Remember this.
So you and I and everyone else are in effect now refunding American corporations for import tariffs, although we paid for most of them in the form of higher prices — which they won’t now lower because they have monopoly power to keep prices high.
The Art of the Deal.
If I represented the Atlantic, I’d lock in the earliest deposition date on the calendar. Call Patel’s bluff. He has zero interest in putting any of this under oath.
This is a snapshot of the failure of MSM and the concomitant ignorance within the American electorate about what is happening in and to their country.
Three GOP Reps who are anchored in reality and believe in sanity and their oaths to the Constitution could, working together, flip this whole f*cking thing on its head while there's still time. Same with 4 GOP Senators.
They would be forever remembered as heroes to Democracy.
$30 million per hour. That's an estimate of the windfall profit oil and gas majors have been making since the Iran War sent petroleum prices skyrocketing. Time to move to alternatives?

The image features a list of companies that did not pay income taxes in 2025. The text reads: "YOU PAID INCOME TAXES IN 2025, these companies DIDN'T…" followed by: Tesla, Palantir, Halliburton, Walt Disney, PayPal, Southwest Airlines, CVS Health. The background shows faint images of tax forms. The source is the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy.
At least 88 corporations paid ZERO in income tax despite reporting $105 BILLION in profits. Meanwhile the average American paid $14.5% on their income.
Our system is rigged to benefit billionaires. It’s time to fix it.
A well-oiled machine as always.
WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/
"Fascism cannot be appeased; this is a core assertion of resistance liberalism."
Good overview here of the new anti-Trump counter-mobilization and the deeper forces driving it:
🩸🩸🩸 I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x POS convicted felon who incites political violence, adjudicated rapist & pedophile Trump did on J6 🩸🩸🩸
THIS IS WHAT AN INSURRECTION LOOKS LIKE ⬇️⬇️⬇️
I'd love to have someone knowledgable describe what % of intel it shares w/Ukraine comes from which sources -- particularly as Congress struggles to pass 702 (tho I imagine what the US shares w/Ukraine is other sources). I'd also like to know source of Sat imagery Z disclosed recently.
You should be able to easily file your taxes for free with the IRS.
Not only did Trump kill Direct File, the IRS's free tax filing program, but this week, Republicans BLOCKED my bill that would make the program law of the land.
That's what you call selling out to TurboTax.
Tremendous reporting: The Inside Story of Five Days That Remade the Supreme Court www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
Trump: The Strait is fully open!
Reality: We are now witnessing the first-ever complete shutdown of the Strait
The only thing Eastman successfully overturned was his own career. johnfugelsang.substack.com/p/eastman-di...
Trump lied to the world, again, about the Iran negotiations.
The Strait of Hormuz is closed once again, and the world remains in crisis, a crisis caused by the reckless actions of one man, acting illegally, without consulting Congress or our allies.

Aaron Astor: My general tendency is to reject conspiracy theories. And yet, this keeps happening - massive trades just minutes before Trump announces something. And that something (Iran handing over uranium and opening Hormuz) often turns out not to be true at all.

“The New York Times has obtained those papers and is now publishing them, bringing the origins of the Supreme Court’s shadow docket into the light. The 16 pages of memos, exchanged in a five-day dash, provide an extraordinarily rare window into the court, showing how the justices talk to one another outside of public view. A Breakdown of Five Days of Secret Supreme Court Memos April 18, 2026 Writing on formal letterhead, but addressing one another by their first names and signing off with their initials, they sound notes of irritation, air grievances and plead for more time. In addition to the usual legal materials, they cite a blog post and, twice, a television interview. They sometimes engage with one another’s arguments. But they often simply talk past each other.”
A reasonable bet that these days the very online Kavanaugh and co are rubber stamping Trump regime’s decisions via secretive shadow dockets based on content they are taking in through not just through right wing cable tv but its massive conspiracy filled online media. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...
Ossoff: I don’t know who placed those trades, but I’ll tell you this: the SEC better find out. And if they won’t, when you elect this new majority in Congress and you give us gavels and subpoenas, we will.
Over just five days, the justices had decided the issue. Even as they debated the Obama plan's possible burden on the power industry, in the entire chain of correspondence obtained by The Times, not a single justice, conservative or liberal, mentioned the dangers of a warming planet as one of the possible harms the court should consider.
Next time some officious doofus explains to me that “the law” is not “political,” I am going to drive to their house and strap them into the eye speculum from ‘A Clockwork Orange’ and force them to look at this sentence for 48 straight hours www.nytimes.com/2026/04/18/u...

NEXT SATURDAY: Americans will gather again at nationwide events in defense of immigrants in our communities. The regime is buying up warehouses to convert into concentration camps, and we must come together to oppose the literal warehousing of people in our country: www.mobilize.us/disappearedi...
