NYT reporting that under this ceasefire each ship will pay $2M to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. It was $0 before Trump launched this illegal war.

100-130 ships pass the Strait daily.

Trump just gave Iran an extra $100M-$130M per day. Masterful gambit, sir. Impeach and remove this fascist—NOW.

If opening the Strait of Hormuz is a “simple maneuver” that is “so easy to do” why haven’t we just opened it?

He’s flailing. He has no idea how to extricate the US from this war.

Anyway, calling NATO a paper tiger and begging for their help in the same tweet is wild.

Hey, Propaganda Barbie:

We aren’t moving on from people trafficking 10-year-old children and this administration covering it up.

Ever.

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

In Minnesota, ICE agents are illegally racially profiling residents, drawing weapons during arrests, claiming people’s citizenship documents are fake, and leaving people with long-lasting injuries.

There is no excuse for Democrats to continue funding these jackbooted thugs.

Stephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff and puppet master, is complaining about unelected judges making rulings he doesn’t like. Funny, I don’t recall Stephen Miller getting elected to any office. He didn’t even have to be nominated and confirmed for his position.
Pot. Kettle. Black.

If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.

Democracy dies in oligarchy.

Saint Paul Public Schools has official vehicles that are black SUVs with tinted windows.
I learned this today while staring at one and photographing it at a stoplight.
They rolled down their windows and said, “It’s okay! We’re with SPPS!”
Then I noticed the accompanying decals.
We all waved.

And they weren’t new to the job. What’s the likelihood that violence like this happens often? Just not where cameras can record it.

Senator Paul is a very effective communicator about this: "Nobody with any objectivity believes" Alex Pretti was assaulting the officers.

Note: Noem's DHS (via Tricia McLaughlin) is still publicly asserting the opposite about Pretti (citing federal law on assaulting, using force against agents).

They think they can provoke us into abandoning our values. They are wrong. We will keep the peace. We will secure justice for our neighbors. And we will see this occupation end.

Van Hollen: "They really think the American people are stupid. I mean, we can all see the video. We saw the video with Renee Good. We saw the video with Alex Pretti. The real domestic terrorists are in the White House right now."

WOW on Pretti's denial of medical treatment

"I informed the ICE agents that I am a physician, and I asked to
assess the victim.

At first, the ICE agents wouldn't let me through. ... But none of the ICE agents who were near the victim were performing CPR, ... None of the agents were helping him."

Rep. Morrison: Two Minnesotans are now dead. A poet and a nurse. For what? We cannot lose any more lives. We need a full, transparent, and comprehensive investigation. ICE and Border Patrol need to halt all operations in the state and leave immediately.

Harry Enten: “Wanna know how poorly Trump buying Greenland polls? Worse than the Epstein files. Seriously, Trump's net approval rating on any attempt to buy Greenland (-40 pts) is lower than his net approval on the Epstein files (-38 pts). Greenland is arguably Trump's worst polling issue.”

If refusing to testify about the Epstein files gets you charged with contempt, refusing to release them should, too.
