Who else agrees Biden was—without a doubt—a better president than Trump could ever be? #VoteYesVirginia

If you live in Virginia, tomorrow you have a huge opportunity to make it clear to the GOP that if they want to win, it won’t be by changing the rules and redrawing maps. At least, not without a fight. Vote YES on the redistricting vote, and push back!

Rep. Pat Ryan: "The fact that the president did not understand that closing the strait would be the obvious and immediate leverage point for the Iranians just shows how out of depth they are in initiating this war."

Trump is so done with the war, just wants to build an arch and a ballroom, and is infuriated he can’t just bully the Iranians, even with his threats of complete destruction. This is the dangerous moment we have warned about for years.

Trump’s Not Paying Attention to His Own War But then again, do we want him to be?

"But it isn’t just that Trump low on options: He barely seems to understand what’s going on in the conflict. His pronouncements—whether threats, triumphant announcements, or descriptions of what’s underway in the strait—resemble reality less with every passing day." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

FBI Director says arrests ‘coming soon’ on 2020 rigged election conspiracy FBI Director Kash Patel: "We have the information that backs President Trump's claim.”

We all need to watch this carefully. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Dope vs. Pope It’s Monday. There are 204 days until the midterm elections. JD’s rough weekend, Trump effs with the wrong Chicagoan and it’s time to clean House.

Again, the authoritarianism extremism of the American Republican Party far exceeds that of...Viktor Orban & Fidesz, who just immediately conceded an election without any of the shenanigans, coups, nonstop lies about nonexistent voter fraud, or endless litigation of the GOP after every US election.

Oil prices have topped $100 a barrel again after President Donald Trump said the US would blockade "any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz," threatening to further disrupt oil flows. https://cnn.it/4ssWVbQ

Yup. Trump and MAGA will get worse.

JD Vance is on a historic roll:

He campaigns for AfD in Germany - they lose.

Invited the Pope to come to US for Trump’s big event - Pope refuses.

Leads peace negotiations with Iran - fails miserably.

Campaigns in Hungary for Orbán - who gets smoked.

Looks like Trump is really on top of that whole Iran situation.

Hungary election live: Viktor Orbán concedes defeat in Hungarian election after 16 years in power Long-serving prime minister beaten by opposition after early results showed clear lead

Orban concedes defeat. The support of Trump, Vance, Putin, Lavrov, Weidel, Milei, Le Pen, Fico, Babis and many others could not overcome Hungarian anger at a stagnant, corrupt regime

How Trump Just Proved He Is History’s Most Powerful Idiot He sent three stooges to botch talking peace, then went to UFC. He’s blockading a blockade. No one in history comes close to this idiocy.

Best Twitter riposte of the day is from Ronald Reagan's budget master.

NEWS: Two U.S. Navy destroyers were forced to turn back while attempting to transit the Strait of Hormuz after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard threatened them and launched a drone toward the ships, per Bloomberg citing a regional intelligence official. 1/

That's a great question.

A regime of idiots: A complete inventory of Trump stooges They will remain, festering, awaiting the next opportunity for soul-selling.

New in PN: A regime of idiots — A complete inventory of Trump stooges

"The downside of Trump’s reliance on sub-mediocre stooges is they amplify his own stupidity & terrible judgment. Dumb stooges inevitably emulate his sadism & laziness, leading to a govt marked by sociopathology on a grand scale."

HOW DO YOU HAVE A MISUNDERSTANDING OVER A DIPLOMATIC AGREEMENT? HOW DO BOTH SIDES NOT AGREE TO TERMS WRITTEN ON THE SAME PIECE OF PAPER? I'M LOSING MY MIND.

Meme with black background and bold white text that reads: “Iran did not have any nuclear weapons. The Strait of Hormuz was open for business before Trump. Trump started the Epstein war.”

New crisis. Same question.
What’s happening with the Epstein files?

We’re not forgetting‼️

Impossible to disagree with a single word that Ben Rhodes (Obama era NSC official) is saying here:

Trump's Nuclear Temptation The Current TACO Only Delayed It.

I regret to inform you, this TACO doesn't get us out of the woods.

Republicans Chose Armageddon Over Checking Trump—They Just Got Lucky It can not be bygones and quiet relief. Democrats must try to remove Trump from power, even if Republicans block them, because he's shown he'll hold the whole world hostage.

If you're gonna use the term, save TACO for situations where Trump can reverse himself, and damage is financial or abstract. This is not that. This is a madman taking the world hostage, causing death and global chaos, sparing us from civilizational ruin for his own opaque reasons. No moving past it.

We back the ceasefire except the parts we don’t like.

Trump Merch Store Closes After Low Sales “It all started with the war. It was dead as a door nail the minute that happened,” the MAGA shop’s owner said.

Trump merch store has shuttered its doors, with its owner saying business dried up in the wake of President Donald Trump’s war with Iran.
