Panic is reportedly sweeping through Congress as several members scramble behind closed doors. This comes after Jack Smith uploaded subpoenaed phone records that revealed calls Trump made to multiple members of Congress in efforts to delay the certification of the 2020 presidential election. As the files circulate, Washington is on edge, and the pressure is mounting fast.

How the hell can John Thune say that Voter ID isn’t one of the most important policy issues that voters care about?! Over 80%+ of the country on *both sides* wants Voter ID. His delay on Voter ID is sabotage pure and simple. He is a backstabber.

Farage backed Mandelson’s appointment, called him a “very intelligent man” and an “enormously talented bloke,” and even offered to work with him on a Trump trade deal. The moment it backfired, he changed his tune and said Starmer should resign. He is a charlatan, and like everything else, he is using it to gain a political advantage.

TRUMP ON TIM COOK: I have always been a big fan of Tim Cook, and likewise, Steve Jobs, but if Steve was not taken from the Planet Earth so young, and ran the company instead of Tim, the company would have done well, but nowhere near as well as it has under Tim. For me it began with a phone call from Tim at the beginning of my First Term. He had a fairly large problem that only I, as President, could fix. Most people would have paid millions of dollars to a consultant, who I probably would not have known, but who would say that he knew me well. The fees would be paid but the job would not have gotten done. When I got the call I said, wow, it’s Tim Apple (Cook!) calling, how big is that? I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to “kiss my ass.” Anyway, he explained his problem, a tough one it was, I felt he was right and got it taken care of, quickly and effectively. That was the beginning of a long and very nice relationship. During my five years as President, Tim would call me, but never too much, and I would help him where I could. Years latter, after 3 or 4 BIG HELPS, I started to say to people, anyone who would listen, that this guy is an amazing manager and leader. He makes these calls to me, I help him out (but not always, because he will, on occasion, be too aggressive in his ask!), and he gets the job done, QUICKLY, without a dime being given to those very expensive (millions of dollars!) consultants around town who sometimes get it done, and sometimes don’t. Anyway, Tim Cook had an AMAZING career, almost incomparable, and will go on and continue to do great work for Apple, and whatever else he chooses to work on. Quite simply, Tim Cook is an incredible guy!!!

Trump: The World's Clown-in-Chief Trump has turned U.S. foreign policy into a global joke, and world leaders are laughing behind his back. Even America's closest allies can't hide their contempt. A senior Israeli official nailed it: trying to feed Trump's nonstop contradictions about the Iran war into ChatGPT would make the AI "implode." One day he's declaring total victory and phantom allied warships reopening the Strait of Hormuz. The next, he's inventing ceasefire talks that Tehran instantly mocks as fantasy. Threats, deadlines, walk-backs — it's all just another episode of the Trump Show. Foreign officials now openly view him as a buffoon: erratic, incoherent, and dangerously incompetent. Europeans roll their eyes, Iranians churn out memes, and even the Israelis — who supposedly want a deal — are left baffled by the endless flip-flops. This isn't "disruptive leadership." It's a clown running the world's most powerful military, turning serious crises into slapstick. Allies are confused, adversaries are amused, and America's credibility is the punchline. Trump isn't feared or respected abroad. He's pitied — and quietly ridiculed — as the biggest buffoon on the international stage.

Step 1: Companies raise prices because of tariffs. We pay. Step 2: Court says tariffs were illegal. Tax Payers will now pay $166 billion to the companies for their refunds! NOW WE PAY TWICE! Zero refunds for actual consumers who paid them in the first place. Companies win, we lose. Tariff ‘genius’ at its finest. 😂💸"

Jeffery Sachs: “Israel's doctrine is kill its adversaries. Kill them in mass numbers, kill the civilians, kill the women, kill the children. They don't discriminate between civilians and military targets. They leveled Gaza... It is a rogue, brutal regime...”

Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation." RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!

BREAKING: I just filed a landmark lawsuit against ActBlue for deceiving Americans by lying about its donation processes that allow fraudulent and foreign donations.

And then in the United States they will be surprised to discover that if they leave NATO, they will also be asked to leave their military bases in Europe. The next realization will come when it turns out that without them, it is extremely difficult to supply their military forces in the Middle East. Everyone will be surprised and shocked.

When you have to kick the President of the United States out of the room in order to carry out a dangerous rescue, it’s time to kick him out of office too.

When President Donald Trump learned that two American pilots had gone missing in Iran on Good Friday, he “screamed at aides for hours” and was then “kept out of the room” while his team was given minute-by-minute updates, according to the WSJ independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

Sixty-plus courts found no evidence. Bill Barr said no widespread fraud. Trump's own CISA called 2020 the most secure election in American history. Republican officials in Georgia, Arizona, and Michigan certified the results. Patel went on Fox News this morning and promised imminent arrests over the rigged election claim anyway. The FBI has already seized Fulton County ballots and Maricopa County election records. DOJ demanded Wayne County ballots this week. All of it built on claims the legal and administrative record has rejected repeatedly and across party lines. This is the FBI director. Making arrest announcements. On a Fox News Sunday show. For an election outcome that was certified, litigated, and confirmed.

Oh no - what awful timing for this story about Reform activist Aaron Lee Taylor doing social media posts praising Hitler and denying the holocaust. Laura Kuenssberg is going to be all over this with Robert Jenrick. Just wait and see... #BBCLauraK

Trump’s net approval rating has declined to -17, marking the LOWEST level recorded for a U.S. President! He joins Melania as most unfavorable First Lady and JD Vance as most unfavorable VP recorded! 🤣 They are the most unlikable bunch lying losers!

Trump is now telling MAGA that we should agree to give up our rights for the greater good. He wants us to agree to allow the federal government to spy on us via FISA. Anyone still supporting this man is a fraud. He has done a full 180 on MAGA and is a Warhawk neocon.

POTUS is laying out two courses of action—a negotiated settlement, or a major escalation. There is a third option, and he should take it: recognize there is no way to force a positive outcome and simply leave. The region is not ours to fix. President Reagan chose this path in Lebanon in ‘84, withdrawing U.S. forces after the Beirut barracks bombing once it became clear the mission’s stabilization goals could not be met, effectively ending direct American military involvement and avoiding a deeper quagmire and long-term entrenchment in the region. A negotiated settlement is unlikely to work or be taken seriously by the Iranians unless we make concessions on the enrichment issue. As we saw yesterday in the SOH, the IRGC is empowered to act without the consent of the civilian leadership, so it’s likely they won’t honor any deal reached. A major escalation will lead to a very destructive outcome for Iran, the region, and eventually the U.S. If POTUS chooses brute force and targets civilian infrastructure, we will create another generation of radicalized Iranians who will rally around the regime and escalate the war by any means possible. If POTUS opts to strike the civilian infrastructure, declare victory, and then leave, we will only further erode our standing in the world, the petrodollar, and eventually our status as the world’s reserve currency holder. We need to get out now. Don’t double down on failure. Avoid the sunken cost trap, leave now, and put America’s interests first.

Stop praising Orbán for not attempting a coup. He only stepped down because Magyar's win was too massive to steal. He rigged the constitution, captured the institutions, and used state media to his advantage. He did everything he could to destroy democracy, and he failed

Barbara Flynn Currie was a trailblazer, becoming the first female majority leader in the history of the Illinois House. But as the veteran representative when I was a state senator, she was also a great partner — smart, independent and pragmatic, showing all of us that it was possible to operate with integrity in politics and still be effective. Michelle and I are thinking of her family today, and everyone who benefitted from her extraordinary life of service.
