Dear @CNN and @MSNOWNews

[Tara Setmayer 🌻 🇺🇸 @TaraSetmayer]

This should be front page news. EVERYWHERE

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Here they are: our two top Iran negotiators.

No diplomatic experience. In way over their head. Both with massive financial conflicts of interest, their fortunes tied to the Middle East dictators that make them rich.

What a distaster.

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Take a look at my tweet from 6 days ago.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

Congress, are you okay?
You’ve barely touched your fucking checks and balances.

[Sarah Longwell @SarahLongwell25]

Today is a good reminder of how Elon Musk absolutely destroyed Twitter’s utility as an information tool.

[Captain Mark Kelly @CaptMarkKelly]

People who’ve never served are often the quickest to start dropping bombs without a plan for what’s next.

The American people have seen this play out before and they’re tired of it. Trump is sending our servicemembers into harm’s way without a clear explanation or an end goal.

[annieknits @annieknits]

This. We are lucky there are watchers like Marc.

[Marc E. Elias @marceelias]

The next Big Lie is to taking shape right in front of us. Donald Trump will try to use this to assert illegal and unconstitutional powers over the 2026 elections.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

A+ tweet

[Miles Taylor @MilesTaylorUSA]

Presidents should not start wars to distract from allegations that they molested 13-year old girls.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

This is the single most important point that most Americans are probably unaware of because our media sucks and the Democratic leadership sucks

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

An illegal war, funded in part by illegal taxes, waged by a corrupt criminal and the buffoon he put in charge of our military.

No matter what you think about the Iranian regime, you have to be out of your fucking mind to support this.

We've now learned that Katie Johnson not only sued Donald Trump for raping her at 14 and gave sworn testimony under the penalty of perjury, but that she was interviewed by the FBI not once but FOUR TIMES and her story was found to be credible.

Donald Trump raped children.

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

This is a crime. If you read the Board of Peace charter, you understand it has nothing to do with the American government; it's a private entity Trump created for his own enrichment. This is an impeachable offense, and if this country were not broken he would be gone by tomorrow.

So to recap: Howard Lutnik, the mastermind behind Trump’s tariff plan, bought the tariff refund rights through his bank at $0.25 on the dollar last year. Actively betting on his own policy to not work.

Lutnik and his bank now stand to make billions.

Fell for it again 🫵

At the end of the day, when every dollar of the massive slush fund of taxpayer money Republicans appropriated to DHS in 2025 is audited, we will find it to be the largest govt fraud scandal in history. In addition to ICE reforms, it will more than justify this shutdown.

[Shannon Watts @shannonrwatts]

Democratic men with platforms, including podcasts, need to spend more time talking about the right’s hatred of women. This isn’t just schtick; it’s an existential threat — even if it’s not directed at you.

[Dave Troy @davetroy]

We have a real problem brewing with the “Board of Peace” and it needs much more attention.

1) There is no legal entity for “Board of Peace” organized under the laws of any country, meaning it is subject to NO country’s laws.

2) Trump is acting like the US is party to it as a treaty organization, but only Congress has the power to do approve that.

3) BoP is collecting and distributing funds (JP Morgan playing as banker) but this must be in violation of Know-Your-Customer laws since BoP *doesn’t exist*. It is a transnational mafia backed only by the executive power of its members.

4) Since BoP doesn’t exist, USPTO is illegally holding its trademarks on its behalf, violating the Lanham Act, which requires that holders intend to use marks in commerce.

5) Trump signed Executive Order 14375 protecting BoP under the International Organizations Immunity Act, but this merely protects from interference, it does not legitimize or establish the organization.

6) Trump is saying he intends to use it to “oversee” the United Nations. There is no provision in the UN charter for any such oversight organization; what he means is that he is going to extort the UN by withholding US dues.

This thing needs to be challenged legally and practically. If it is not stopped it will quickly evolve into a world takeover mechanism, and indeed it is already usurping US sovereignty as well as sovereignty in Gaza and of participant countries.

Seriously, this is no joke and intervention is necessary NOW. The illegal trademarks are one pathway in. There are others. But whatever you do don’t brush this off as one of Trump’s follies. It’s anything but.

@Acyn Says the dumbest person in the room.

[EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel]

It's not that Trump is opposed to narcotrafficking.

It's that he wants part of the action.
