🚨 Talks with Iran have collapsed before they even began.

Iran refuses to negotiate under a U.S. naval blockade and threats, and Trump says he expects bombing to resume once the ceasefire ends.

Iran is warning it will retaliate if attacked—and planned talks in Pakistan appear dead.

There’s something mentally wrong with the President of the United States.

He killed over 160 young girls at a school and threatened to end their entire civilization out of respect and admiration

🚨 LISTEN UP, BLACK VA! Social impact advisor, author, & cultural commentator Alencia Johnson explains the misinformation campaign that’s been targeting Black voters & why you should #VoteYesVirginia TODAY.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

The Unraveling of Donald Trump Donald Trump has seemingly permanently fractured the fragile coalition that brought him into power. Is MAGA effectively dead?

Dave Troy has written the clearest most grounded description of what is going on. What do you think?

Lawmakers question if JetBlue is using personal data to set ticket prices Two Democratic lawmakers on Tuesday ​asked JetBlue Airways ‌to answer questions about whether it was using ​customer personal data ​to set ticket prices ⁠after a company ​social media post sparked ​co...

You deserve to know if airlines are collecting your personal information and using it in any way to set prices.

@gallego.senate.gov and I are demanding answers.

On crucial question of independence @warren.senate.gov just grilled Trump Fed Chair nominee Kevin Warsh on basics.
Could he stand up to Trump? Could he straight up say Trump lost 2020 election?
No. BS instead.
Could he name ONE element of Trump's economic policy he disagreed with?
No. More BS.

Secretary of War @SecWar X.com The War Department is once again restoring freedom to our Joint Force. We are discarding the mandatory flu vaccine requirement, effective immediately. 1:59 8:21 AM • 4/21/26 • 648K Views

The military was an infection vector in the Spanish flu pandemic that killed 50 million people.

I really didn’t understand how many people in the world are willing to give up their own integrity for power/money or just the adjacency to power and money. How are so many so empty of substance?

Scenes from a personalist regime: A nominee to an independent federal body refuses to acknowledge that the President ever lost an election.

Warsh may be a reasonable guy and capable economist just playing a role here. But if integrity and independence are qualities we value in a Fed Chief, he does not have them.

Every nominee who dodges this question tells us that they have no meaningful commitment to American democracy.

Not off to a great start

Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act For too long, this law has allowed the government to evade privacy protections and spy on Americans. Reform is overdue.

President Trump is urging Congress to renew Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, but lawmakers in both parties oppose extending it without reforms. Congress now has a chance to protect Americans’ privacy.

Isn’t this the same motherfucker who outlawed soldiers having beards thehill.com/opinion/5516...

Once again, behold the unparalleled parsimony & explanatory power of the Dennis Green Unified Theory Of American Politics

Al Gore:

“This is the most corrupt administration not only in American history, but more corrupt than I could ever have imagined a president would be able to get away with to the extent that he has. It’s shocking to me.”

Heartbreaking!

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

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!

Civilians have had apparent seizures. One had his eyes roll back. Another had ribs broken.

“I felt like I was going to pass out and die,” said a 16-year-old citizen put in a chokehold.

The government won’t say if any agents have been punished.

Virginia: Vote YES Tomorrow Virginia's Redistricting Referendum and Why I'm Passionately In Support

Trump ordered Texas to redraw its maps mid-cycle — not because the census required it, but because they know they can't win a fair fight in 2026.

Virginia votes tomorrow. Matching the GOP isn't enough —

X post by Xavier Becerra: "Steve Hilton appears in the Epstein files. I'm sure he'll explain himself." Screen shot of email from July 24, 2011 from Jeffrey Epstein to Ian Osborne, asking if David Cameron could be at a meeting - the email quotes Osborne who asks if Woody Allen could be present at a meeting with Epstein and Rohan Silva, head of then Prime Minister Cameron's policy unit and Steve Hilton, Director of Strategy.

🧵With @becerraforca.bsky.social surging in the polls, & @realtomsteyer.bsky.social doing well also, this is a good time to remind Californians that Brit Steve Hilton, Brexit fan, Fox News personality, & Trump endorsed, also appears in the Epstein files! No MAGA Gov for CA!

This is a war based on lies

Israeli strike hits Gaza church, killing 3 and wounding priest who was close to Pope Francis An Israeli shell slammed into the compound of the only Catholic church in the Gaza Strip, killing three people and wounding 10 others, including the parish priest, according to church officials.

Just hours after war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu sanctimoniously scolded us about how Israel and the IDF respect other faiths.

As Trump’s lies get more egregious (and repetitive) I have at least noticed fewer mouth-breathing bootlickers willing to defend him in my comments.

And the administration is leaking about how he’s hurting negotiations and how they’re keeping him on the sidelines.

I’ll call that progress.

I've always admired Governor Moore's dedication to service and his willingness to stand up resolutely especially in the face of adversity (this administration thinking that they call bully Maryland into submission.) Great to be in St Mary's County. Im running be your next fighter in Congress!
