“They’ll never close the Strait again” lasted a solid 10 hours.

Masterful negotiation (read: market manipulation) from Trump

[Trey Yingst @TreyYingst]

Overnight, the IRGC announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz via state media.

Today, at least two vessels have been fired upon, according to maritime tracking groups.

Approximately 20 vessels have turned around, according to the WSJ.

They spent all week saying they wouldn’t renew Russia’s sanctions waiver, then they did exactly that late Friday evening.

Go figure.

[Senator Reverend Raphael Warnock @SenatorWarnock]

We can’t lose sight of this.

Our President cut health care, cancer research, and food for hungry families.

And then turned around to spend billions on war.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

Trump is using the war in Iran to lift sanctions on the country helping Iran try to kill our troops.

Very normal thing to do. Not at all unhinged and unamerican

[Jake Scott, MD @jakescottMD]

bombs Iran 9 days later

We all wanna know WHY‼️

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Trump reversed decades of national security objections to selling advanced AI chips to UAE. National security experts were alarmed.

But there was a secret. Before the deal, UAE had sent $187M to the Trumps and $31M to the Witkoffs in secret payments.

Mind blowing corruption.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

The corruption is right out there in the open now.

NEW: In a revelation that undercuts the GOP narrative of widespread noncitizen voting in elections, a Utah audit of over 2 million voter registrations found only one apparent noncitizen on the rolls — and they never even voted. https://t.co/YUFdgIkFQ4

Now would be an excellent moment for Europe to defy both Putin and Trump and hand over Russia's foreign assets to Ukraine.

Kidnapping and trafficking...

[Ruben Gallego @RubenGallego]

You stole a five year old child coming home from preschool and used him as human bait.

[Brian Allen @allenanalysis]

Minneapolis is at -16° and the streets are STILL packed.

Businesses shut down. Skyways open. Thousands marching anyway.

Trump thought fear would work.

Minnesota chose defiance.

[Kelly @broadwaybabyto]

You can’t detain a 5 year old child.

If a masked man grabs a kid off the street and puts him in an unmarked car… that’s kidnapping.

If that child is then sent to another state? That’s trafficking.

Language matters here.

What happened to Liam Ramos should outrage us all.

[Brian Tyler Cohen @briantylercohen]

Literally half of the Republicans in this clip have refused to comply with congressional subpoenas.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

This is NOT a Congressional stock trading ban. It’s leadership’s attempt to kill the existing bipartisan proposal.

Bill is a set of new vehicles and loopholes written by and for the wealthiest members of Congress to evade tracking of their trades.

It lets them continue to own, trade, and sell stock - but with less transparency so YOU can no longer track them.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Robin Kelly announces she’s launching an inquiry into whether ANY insurrectionists have been hired by ICE.

If proven, this isn’t symbolic. It means firings, decertifications, criminal referrals, civil rights lawsuits, and potential impeachment of DHS leadership.

The country deserves to know who is being hired - and who signed off.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Good morning and Happy Monday to everyone who is disgusted by Bari Weiss killing a 60 Minutes exposé on trump's cruel deportation policy where deportees are tortured in CECOT. This is political censorship.

If you're not already, it's time to BOYCOTT CBS.

[Edward-Isaac Dovere @IsaacDovere]

Trump has been folding in endorsements and power flexes to get free land that he’s going to use donor and lawsuit settlement money to build a for-profit complex out of his presidential library — https://t.co/9GPpKol7KX
