We’re about to pay Iran $6 billion to re-open the thing that was open before the war.

Art of the deal, baby.

NEW: US intelligence indicates that China is preparing to provide Iran with air defense systems in a matter of weeks, CNN reported. Beijing is expected to ship shoulder-fired, surface-to-air missiles known as Man-Portable Air Defense Systems.

The only president stupid enough to do it.

It's going to be a long weekend.

* IRAN'S PARLIAMENT SPEAKER SAYS CEASEFIRE IN LEBANON, RELEASE OF IRANIAN BLOCKED ASSETS MUST OCCUR BEFORE TALKS

@reuters.com

I can't alt text all of this, but it's about insider trading running rampant in the WH and friends and family

This guy says what I've been trying to say, only he's better at laying it out. I know Hegseth profited *right before* things went sideways.

Effective 2025 federal tax rates paid by these corporations:

Alphabet: 8.01%
AT&T: 4.6%
Meta: 3.57%
General Motors: 3.09%
Amazon: 1.37%
Exxon Mobil: 1.31%
Disney: -1.57%
CVS Health: -3.88%

Income tax rate paid by the typical American: 14.5%

This is what a rigged system looks like.

That's exactly how they roll. We need to end the billionaire class through taxation. BIG TIME taxation. And the money goes to support the poor, not the military.

This is a dramatic change in tone for Trump, in that he calls four people low IQ and only one of them is black

Joint venture isn't working out?

We have never looked more feckless and ridiculous to the entire world.

Trump's gerrymandering push wasn't subtle. He wanted Republican House control. Virginia can counter with a voter approved measure. Don't let authoritarianism win. Vote YES on April 21st. #VirginiaVoteYes

Tomorrow we will hear Trump’s claims about what’s in the deal which will not match up with what is actually in the deal. Then he will continue to lie worse as we learn there really isn’t a firm deal. Then we will do it all over again like so many times before with so many things.

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.

I will not stay silent while our President threatens to commit war crimes in our name.

There comes a time when basic humanity transcends partisan politics.

To my Republican colleagues: Now is the time to stand up and speak out.

He means it this time.

Of all the Donald Trump tweets Speaker Mike Johnson won't see, today's will be the one Speaker Mike Johnson didn't see the most.

He needs to have his trips to MAL cut off. That would be a good first step in reigning him in. He has chalked-up $100mil of taxpayer dollars trips to MAL to golf.
Join me in writing or calling lawmakers to bring it to their attention.

Mark Jacob on how the press ignores the biggest Trump story "The president of the United States is clearly mentally unfit for office."

I try to avoid taking the bait and amplifying a message that is posted with an obvious desire to divide and conquer, but every voter needs to see this one. This man is unfit for office.

Would be nice to have government officials who don’t fall for AI slop

He skipped church. Dropped the F-bomb. Praised Allah. On Easter.
You can’t make this up. The man tweets war threats while you hunt eggs with your kids.
THIS is your president, America. Wake up.

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

1. They should have known better.
2. Their energy went to "own the libs", not to paying attention (emotional needs over information).
3. The whole world was telling them.
4. Still, they did what we were afraid they would.
5. They did it to themselves.

The Epstein Spectrum A moral exercise in a moral desert

“Some people in the Epstein files are monstrously gross. Some are moderately gross. Some are situationally, aspirationally, or cosmetically gross.” Josh Tyrangiel sifted through nearly 3.5 million pages to determine a taxonomy for those named in the files.

Trump's new budget proposal is historic — in one of the worst ways possible The proposal would double down on last summer’s “big beautiful bill” and its legacy of cutting programs that struggling Americans rely on.
