Best news in quite a while!

At a packed Budapest metro station, crowds of Hungarians are chanting: “Russia, go home.”

It’s our turn now. #Vote

This is great news! I wish they could complete the task in less than 5 years. But maybe that's unrealistic.

I remember 1989, when the wall fell in Berlin. I remember 1990, when Mandela walked free. One time I mentioned to my students, what that felt like and they could not understand.

Israeli attack kills Al Jazeera journalist Mohammed Wishah in Gaza Israeli drone strike kills Mohammed Wishah, a correspondent for Al Jazeera Mubasher, west of Gaza City.

Israel intentionally kills another journalist in Gaza. But it can't kill the facts of its own barbarous behavior.

Palestine will be free!

Such a fun show that really encapsulates the spirit of the '70s!

Of course Netanyahu would do everything possible to sabotage any ceasefire.

Trump is threatening mass death in Iran if he doesn’t get his way. He has spiraled out of control—and Congress has the power to stop him and end this war.

Every Republican lawmaker who refuses to speak out, ducks a question, or votes to continue this war bears responsibility.

First unalloyed pushback from a Senate Republican is, unsurprisingly, from Lisa Murkowski.

My fellow Americans, what kind of nation are we?

Paul Krugman says the fate of the American idea is on the line tonight. He has a message for every elected official -- Republican and Democrat. (Photo: a highway in Tehran.)

So true!

Washington Post Trump warns ‘a whole civilization will die’ if Iran doesn’t make a deal The president had issued a deadline of 8 p.m. Eastern time for Iran to open up the Strait of Hormuz, pledging destruction by midnight if leaders don’t comply. April 7, 2026 at 9:22 a.m. EDT26 minutes ago 2 min

Completely unstable and perilous. The House must bring up impeachment articles, and the Senate needs to remove a president who wants to commit war crimes. We cannot sit idly by as Donald Trump threatens to end an entire civilization.

“A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again.” -Trump
Article III
The following acts shall be punishable:
(a) Genocide;
(b) Conspiracy to commit genocide;
(c) Direct and public incitement to commit genocide;
(d) Attempt to commit genocide;
(e) Complicity in genocide.

call for an investigation into the president's fitness. call for the house to impeach. say you will obstruct every last bit of senate business. call for soldiers to disregard illegal orders. say you will prosecute the people who do this. say you will take their military pensions and benefits.

We won't last 33 more months of this.

This must stop.

We must make it stop.

Donald Trump is an unhinged warmonger and war criminal using violence for personal gain and profit, while innocent people pay the price.
 
Congress must reconvene to pass the War Powers Resolution. The 25th Amendment must also be invoked. Congress has to do our damn job. War powers and Impeachment.

Do you know how EXTREMELY FUCKED UP SHIT HAS TO BE for me to be reposting Tucker Carlson positively???

Can't tell you how many members of Congress who *at best* had nothing to say when I asked about the Minab girls school attack. There is a profanely cold detachment inside Capitol Hill, a mode completely unrecognizable to common human decency I wish I could properly convey to you.

Is there anything you can do to stop the Republic from turning into Trump, Inc.? And to stop the Mideast War? You can join the rest of us at tomorrow's No KIngs Marches. More than 3,000 are planned, in all 50 states.

Let's show the world what democracy looks like.

again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state

BREAKING: Award-winning journalist Scott MacFarlane is joining MeidasTouch as our Chief Washington Correspondent.

This is a major expansion of our enterprise and investigative reporting in D.C.

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

“They got money for wars, but can’t feed the poor.” — Tupac said it years ago… and here we are.

The Pentagon is now asking for an additional $200 BILLION for this war.

We always find the money for war.

But when it comes to housing, healthcare, or feeding people? Suddenly it’s crickets.

Finally now, Mr. Putin? What took you so long?

This is a lie on a scale of Elon Musk saying he would cut the deficit to zero. Just insane. Not just untrue, but the opposite of the truth, which is that immigrants are lowering the deficit.
