Despite the best efforts of Republicans and their billionaire fossil fuel donors EV’s are here to stay

Trump is reportedly considering an Iran deal that includes:

- releasing billions (up to 20B) to Iran

- a sunset provision on enrichment (5-15 years)

- potentially not securing the highly enriched uranium

- nothing on Iran’s ballistic missiles

It’s the JCPOA but worse

Rep. @brotherjones.bsky.social on Gino Bulso’s hypocritical Charlie Kirk Act: “Free speech is not just the right to engage in favored speech, it is also the unobstructed right to engage in moral dissent. This is what my Republican colleagues are so terrified of...” www.ms.now/opinion/tenn...

Iranian state-linked media, Tasnim News, asserts: "If the US wants to maintain the shadow of war, it should consider the Strait of Hormuz completely closed."

Advisor to Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf says Trump’s ceasefire extension “makes no sense,” calling it an attempt to buy time for a surprise attack and claiming Iran “currently holds the initiative” as tensions escalate.

BREAKING: Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick has resigned from Congress just before the House Ethics Committee was set to announce sanctions.

She faced allegations of misusing millions in COVID relief funds tied to her family business, along with multiple campaign finance violations.

Spain has recently outpaced the US in GDP growth, emerging as one of the fastest-growing major advanced economies. As of 2024–2025, Spain’s economy is growing at a rate over 3% annually, exceeding the US (~2%) and Eurozone (~1%) averages.

Donald is such an uninformed idiot.

So to recap:

-$160 BILLION+ unconstitutionally collected in tariffs from 🇺🇸 corps, despite Trump saying foreign co’s pay

-they pass that cost to us

-Now corps collect the💰back… from us?🤔

heads they win, tails we lose!😕🤷🏼 (almost like this was the plan all along)

Jeffries on Kash Patel: "We have to stop putting all the blame on the people who nominated this incompetent, toxic, malignant individual. What about the people who confirmed him? It's extraordinary to me that Senate Republican confirmed people like Noem, Bondi, Hegseth, RFK Jr, and Patel."

Translation:

This deal is about to be exactly like the JCPOA, minus Obama’s signature

29. In fact, Defendants ignored their own politices and procedures, rushing the story to print without substantively fact-checking the allegations or giving Director Patel a meaningful opportunity to respond—all to publish before the truth could be exposed and derail the Article. [I have put a pink rectangle around the word spelled, "politices."]

Nothing like misspelling a word in the ¶ accusing The Atlantic of failing to take enough time to fact check an article.

[Kash has submitted a new version, and used the opportunity to dox Fitzpatrick's address.]

Fan catch of the year?!

This guy caught a foul ball while holding a baby 🤯

Again, it's not just that it is targeting MI, but Harmeet is targeting Wayne (Detroit and Dearborn) and not Oakland or Antrim, where there were criminal shenanigans by Trumpsters in 2020 or Washtenaw, where a non-citizen did unwittingly vote in 2024 (but got prosecuted after the fact).

This quoted post is in response to a Leftist who was proud of defeating Kamala Harris. It’s exactly the opposite of gloating, it’s blame. It’s pointing out the damage they wrought based on THEIR assertion.

One of the reasons Kamala lost was because the GOP spent $200 million on ads that quoted her as being supportive of Trans prisoners medical care. Really.

Did it stop the genocide in Gaza?
Did it stop the attacks on civilians in Lebanon, Iran, and Ukraine.

Your definition of "works" is a little different from, well, everyone else's.

They held the presidency for 12 of the last 16 years. They run 18 states, all of which expanded Medicaid under the ACA, which means rural hospitals stay open and poor people can get care. They've won all but one of the special elections since 2024.

What have YOU done?

Joe Biden put through 800 billion is student loan forgiveness as acquiescence to the Left.

But you can't be persuaded, really, can you? If losing Roe, and SNAP, and medical care, and DEI, and student loan forgiveness didn't persuade you, you're lost.

You're unpersuadable. You've proven it. We need to do it without you.

Iran believes (probably accurately) that the US is using negotiation as deception and planning for another round of attacks

"Dear America" letters from people who work at the besieged US Department of Housing and Urban Development:

A peer reviewed study shows a promising link between flu and shingles vaccines and a reduced risk of dementia. A heroin addict who cut off a raccoon’s penis for “further study” says these vaccines cause autism. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Trump: "Joe Rogan, who's a fantastic person. We did an interview before the election. We had over 300m people. And I said, 'Oh man, I hope Kamala doesn't do it.' And she didn't. He wanted her to do it but she didn't. Someday Joe is gonna explain why. I could tell you why."

After pretending to be horrified by Trump’s policies @joerogan is in the Oval Office standing up to Trump…

Just kidding! He’s kissing Trump’s ass. Because of course he is.

NEWS: Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei says the country’s navy is ready to inflict “new bitter defeats on its enemies,” in a message posted to Telegram.

The worst possible tactic you can use when negotiating a deal with a regime like Iran is to dunk on them in public during negotiations. Any knowledgeable seasoned diplomat knows this. But we have Mr. Art of the Deal who needs to feed his cult and the markets a steady diet of BS.

On Friday, April 10, as FBI Director Kash Patel was preparing to leave work for the weekend, he struggled to log into an internal computer system. He quickly became convinced that he had been locked out, and he panicked, frantically calling aides and allies to announce that he had been fired by the White House, according to nine people familiar with his outreach. Two of these people described his behavior as a “freak-out.” Patel oversees an agency that employs roughly 38,000 people, including many who are trained to investigate and verify information that can be presented under oath in a court of law. News of his emotional outburst ricocheted through the bureau, prompting chatter among officials and, in some corners of the building, expressions of relief. The White House fielded calls from the bureau and from members of Congress asking who was now in charge of the FBI.

I hope when Kash is eventually fired they DO just lock him out of the FBI systems, bc that obviously is a deep fear of his and he deserves it.
