‘F around and find out’ is still the Democrats’ position on redistricting and is even more so our position after the SCOTUS ruling.

Hakeem Jeffries is talking about a scenario when Illinois, Maryland, Colorado, and New York are totally blue. We could get 52 seats in California.

Democrats support a national gerrymandering ban. Republicans would be wise to support it before this gets even uglier.

MAGA authoritarianism is pretending the president is “joking” when he makes death threats, but comedians are somehow “shaping public policy” when they make jokes.

[Jamie Bonkiewicz @JamieBonkiewicz]

So let me get this fucking straight…
MAGA wants Trump reading the Bible in the Oval Office and the Ten Commandments in public schools, but the Pope should stay out of politics? Be fucking serious

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

Donald Trump thought he could score cheap political points by calling Bill LeRoy an “insult to Jesus” because the veteran catcher and captain of the Savannah Bananas is “beyond woke” and believes that God does not discriminate on the basis of gender.
Standing in front of a roaring, sold-out Banana Ball crowd, LeRoy didn’t just clap back — he delivered a powerful, no-nonsense response that shook the stadium.
“The president of the United States just said that I insulted Jesus,” LeRoy began, gripping the mic with calm intensity. “You want to know what’s a real insult to Jesus? Turning your back on people who need help while giving more to those who already have everything.”
“You know what insults Jesus?” he continued, gesturing toward the crowd. “Separating families, shutting doors on those in need, and forgetting what ‘love thy neighbor’ actually means. That’s not the message I stand for — and it’s not the message this team stands for.”
“You know what insults Jesus? Preaching values while ignoring compassion. Talking about faith while practicing division. That’s not faith — that’s politics dressed up as religion.”
“I’m not a perfect Christian,” he said, a small smile crossing his face. “There’s only been one perfect man, and I’m not him. I’m just a catcher who believes in treating people right.”
“Jesus told us to love our neighbors as ourselves… So why do we keep choosing hate, division, and fear instead?”

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨THIS IS THE BEST CLIP OF HIS ENTIRE RALLY. 🔥

JON OSSOFF: “Did you hear what Trump said two weeks ago?

Quote, “It's not possible,” the president said, “for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, or Medicare.

He said we can only afford to fund war.  Then released a budget demanding $1.5 trillion or the Pentagon next year alone —

paid for by ending utility assistance for families, canceling affordable housing programs, and cutting cancer research … all to fund a huge increase for the military industrial complex.

Because draft-dodging Donald loves sending other people’s children to war."

Boom.

In his second administration, President Trump’s family, including his son-in-law Jared Kushner and sons Eric and Don Jr., are expanding their business ventures, earning hundreds of millions of dollars and prompting fresh concerns about influence peddling and conflicts of interest.

Being mad that the Pope won't endorse your war is like being mad that your doctor won't endorse your cocaine habit.

I'm no conspiracy theorist,but I don't believe this was an actual assassination attempt.

[Trisha Hope - National Delegate-TX @JustTheTweets17]

I was a long time Trump supporter, I became a National Delegate to make certain Trump was seated as the nominee.

While en-route to Wisconsin, I learned of the attempt on Trump's life at the Butler rally. I was in the middle of having dinner at a restaurant in Little Rock, AR. We immediately got the check and left, I was very upset.

Prior to learning of the "assassination attempt" I was to scheduled to do an interview with The Washington Post, they had a reporter who was going to shadow me at the convention. He reached out to me after the shooting in a way that I found lacked concern for Trump, so I canceled the interview and did not allow them to shadow me.

The purpose of allowing them to follow me was to bring awareness to J6ers. One of the hats I wore at the convention dawned the images of 4 J6ers, that hat now sits in the Smithsonian.

At the convention of course there was massive concern for President Trump the consensus was it was divine intervention that saved Trump and we were all incredibly grateful.

On the night Trump spoke, he had the ear patch on and many in the crowd did also. As Trump begin to speak, he started with this:

“So many people have asked me what happened. Tell us what happened, please. And therefore, I will tell you exactly what happened, and you’ll never hear it from me a second time, because it’s actually too painful to tell.”

As I stood on the convention floor you could have heard a pin drop as he spoke. My first thought was how odd for him to begin this way. He was nearly assassinated just a few days before and yet he was declaring this would be the only time he spoke of it, that was my first red flag.

When people tell a lie, certainly a big one it is tough to keep all the details straight and doing so is an effort. In my opinion Trump made that statement to stop any further conversation about what happened. He gave us his official story, would only do it once and that was the end of it. Now we all know no one loves Trump more than Trump so this to me felt completely out of character.

Fast forward to the questioning of Secret Service on how this was allowed to happen. If you look at the perfectly timed ICONIC photo Trump standing triumphantly screaming FIGHT, FIGHT FIGHT, certainly this was divine intervention....right?

Following the inauguration, I found it odd that Trump wasn't going aggressively after those who allowed this to happen. He seemed to behave like it was no big deal.

His Secret Service detail failed him massively, allowed him to be shot, and they allowed that perfectly timed photo op to take place

Instead of his SS detail being terminated as they should have been, Trump made the gentleman in the white shirt the HEAD of the Secret Service on January 22, 2025. Instead of losing his job Sean Curran was given a massive promotion.

Now, I want you to look critically at this photo. They allowed President Trump to stand up, exposing multiple potential kill shots, as the flag is gently lowered. Interesting that the other SS agents lower their heads as the perfectly time ICONIC photo is taken. Honestly, it couldn't have been scripted better if were to have been done in a studio.

Since the attempt on his life, Trump has show no interest in investigating what really happened. He never mentions it, it's as if it never happened, except when he tells us, he took a bullet for us.

As for Corey Comperatore, he was used in this plot, someone had to die otherwise, it would have been much easier to claim it was a HOAX. They killed Corey, likely because he was truly a real life hero, one people would rally behind and defend passionately, as they should.

Then to top it off, they used Corey to their benefit at the convention. To this day his wife is begging for answers, answers she has repeatedly been denied. Sadly, they have no more use for her, she no longer matters.

If you cannot look at this story, and use critical thinking skills and have at least some questions, you are the problem and we need you to snap out of it.

Should be impeachable in and of itself, but Republicans have no spine.

BREAKING WSJ:

Trump has repeatedly promised his top administration officials pardons before he leaves office, according to people who have heard his comments.

"I'll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval," Trump said in a recent meeting.

I wanna point out something serious. The admin has been complaining about Iran winning the information war.

This same administration shut down Voice of America, and other information operations the US govt does.

THIS IS THE CHART THEY WILL SHOW IN DOCUMENTARIES. A 94% CRASH. $4.3 BILLION IN LOSSES. ZERO ARRESTS. AND A DINNER INVITATION.

Look at that chart. $48 to $2.81. A 94% collapse. That is not a bear market. That is a liquidation event disguised as a political movement.

The $TRUMP token launched January 17, 2025. Three days later he was sworn into office. Within weeks, 810,000 wallets had lost a combined $2 billion. By 2026, total retail losses crossed $4.3 billion across nearly two million wallets.

For every $1 insiders earned, retail investors lost $20.

The Trump family and affiliated entities collected over $600 million through fees and token sales. Trading fees alone generated $100 million in the first 19 days. Exchanges banked another $172 million. And 94% of the token supply sat in just 40 wallets from the start.

This was a memecoin where the creator became the President of the United States, then dismantled the SEC's entire crypto enforcement division, closed every active investigation, paused every pending case, and then hosted an exclusive gala dinner for the biggest holders at his golf club while protesters outside shouted "Shame."

43% of the guests at that dinner were underwater on their investment.

Now there is a second gala planned for April 25 at Mar-a-Lago. The token hit an all-time low of $2.73 the day they announced it. And there is still $2.7 billion in insider tokens locked until 2028. That is not a vesting schedule. That is a countdown to the next wave of selling pressure.

Meanwhile the MELANIA token is down 99%.

No regulator intervened. No enforcement action was filed. The one agency that could have acted had its crypto division gutted by the very administration that launched the token. A bill was proposed to ban officials from issuing memecoins. It went nowhere.

In any other context this would be called a pump and dump with presidential immunity. Instead it got a dinner invitation.

[Shanaka Anslem Perera ⚡ @shanaka86]

JUST IN: You do not fire your Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war for no reason. You fire him because of what comes next.

Pete Hegseth called General Randy George on April 2 and told him to retire immediately. The Pentagon confirmed it within hours. No reason was given. Not publicly. Not privately. A senior Army official told Fox News that Hegseth offered George nothing: no misconduct, no operational failure, no policy disagreement on the record. Just a phone call and a career ending in the middle of the most significant American combat operation in two decades.

George is the 24th general or admiral Hegseth has removed. But he is not the 24th. He is the one that matters. The Army Chief of Staff. The man whose signature sits between a president’s intent and the order that sends soldiers across a beach or into a tunnel complex. The 82nd Airborne is deploying right now. Marines from the 31st MEU are staged on the USS Tripoli. JSOC operators are at forward bases in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Kharg Island, 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, sits 16 kilometres off a coast that someone will have to decide whether to approach. And the four-star general whose job it was to advise whether that approach should happen was removed 48 hours after Trump told the nation the war would continue for two to three more weeks.

The replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve. He was Hegseth’s senior military aide before this appointment. The man who carried the Secretary’s briefcase now commands the Army the Secretary is reshaping. The chain of command did not break. It shortened. The distance between a television studio and a combat order just collapsed to zero intermediaries who were not personally selected by the man giving the order.

No reason was given. That is the tell. When someone is removed without explanation during a crisis, the explanation is the crisis itself. George either objected to something or was about to. The ground option. The power plant strikes. The Kharg raid. The escalation that turned a highway bridge in Karaj into rubble on the same day he was told to leave. Something in the next two weeks requires a chief who will not push back, and the Pentagon solved that problem by installing one trained as Hegseth’s aide.

A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history. No hearing was held. No misconduct cited. The Army woke up on April 3 with a new chief it did not choose, in a war it did not start, preparing for a phase the previous chief apparently could not be trusted to execute.

The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no.

The war has no perimeter. The chain of command has no objectors. And the next phase has no one left to stop it.
