Every day is National Susan Collins is a Piece of Shit day.
Imagine having the power to move markets with a single policy memo. You invest, you divest, you "negotiate" peace, and you profit.
Now imagine no one stops you because everyone else at the table is doing the same thing. This is how the Trump regime turns governance into a private equity fund.
Whoa, just whoa.
Who made the decision for the #US to attack #Iran—the American president, or a foreign country off in the shadows pulling the strings?
It’s understandable why many people think the US/ #Israel war against Iran is a bad idea. Some say it violates the #UN Charter. Others think it is unnecessary for the United States to do this since Iran wasn’t directly threatening the United States, or that even if Iran’s nuclear program was potentially a threat, negotiations could have achieved an equal or better outcome. Those are certainly reasonable views.
But before jumping to conspiracy, remember who actually made the decision to send the US into this war: Donald #Trump. And there’s no question that in his mind, he is one hundred percent certain that this war is necessary to defend the United States.
Claims that #Jews or Israel are somehow pulling the strings and manipulating the US into the Iran war don’t arise in a vacuum. They mirror longstanding patterns of antisemitism, in which Jews are portrayed as wielding hidden power, manipulating governments, and acting with dual loyalties.

That gerrymandering effort was led by Texas Republican Tom DeLay, who rode it all the way to becoming leader of the House GOP until his obvious and flagrant corruption became too obvious and flagrant for even Texans to live with
If you ever wondered why Texas so reliably sends Republicans to Congress, part of the reason is that Texas Republicans won control of the state legislature for the first time since Reconstruction in 2002, and they immediately set about gerrymandering the state so Democrats could never win a majority of the state's Congressional districts again
#Oil CEOs' #bribes🚨to #Trump are paying off. But the biggest benefactor, is his BFF & fellow war criminal, #Putin. And #Iran has reaped $Billions more from oil profits.

Trump Budget Proposal Shreds Health and Food Programs
Last week, at a private Easter lunch, Donald Trump was caught on a hot mic saying that with the country at war, the federal government should offload Medicaid, Medicare, and child care expenditures onto the states. “We have 50 states. We have all these other people. We’re fighting wars,” the MAGA leader said. “It’s not possible for us to take care of day care, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.” #USPol

According to reports, "One U.S. official present at the meeting brought up the Avignon papacy, a period in the 14th century in which the French monarchy bent the Catholic Church into submission, ordering an attack on Pope Boniface VIII that led to his downfall and subsequent death and forcing the papacy to relocate from Rome to Avignon, a region inside France."

Of 328 BLM positions ordered to relocate, 287 employees left the agency. Only 41 moved at all — scattered across various western offices. And only three — three human beings — actually relocated to the new “headquarters” in Grand Junction. The agency lost 87% of its Washington-based workforce.

They’re destroying it because science is an obstacle.
Because a scientist who says “you can’t log that watershed without destroying it” is inconvenient. A researcher who publishes data showing that a timber sale will wipe out a salmon run is a problem. A lab that documents the damage from mining runoff or road-building or clear-cutting is an enemy.

are controlled transit through strait of Hormuz coordinated with Iranian

would also require the lifting of all primary and secondary sanctions,

We all have good ethical and political reasons to reject the president’s words. But those who serve in government, and in the armed forces, have been placed under the legal shadow of genocide by what Trump wrote. To bomb a bridge or a dam or a power plant or a desalinization facility, very likely a war crime in any event, could very well have a different legal significance, a genocidal one, if it takes place after the expression of genocidal intent by the commander and head of state.From https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-president-speaks-genocide

Iran's 10-point plan includes:
1. Guarantee that Iran will not be attacked again
2. Permanent end to the war, not just a ceasefire
3. End to Israeli strikes in Lebanon
4. Lifting of all US sanctions on Iran
5. End to all regional fighting against Iranian allies
6. In return, Iran would open the Strait of Hormuz
7. Iran would impose a Hormuz fee of $2 million per ship
8. Iran would split these fees with Oman
9. Iran to provide rules for safe passage through Hormuz
10. Iran to use Hormuz fees for reconstruction instead of reparations

💔 The surgery was successful, thanks first to God, and then to your support and encouragement. 🙏 I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you've done for me and for standing by my side. 💛 Currently, I'm in the hospital and my condition is still unstable. I need some treatments during this time. Unfortunately, I can't do anything or support my family as I used to.
My parents are elderly, my wife and children depend on me, and my brother, Muhammad, is imprisoned in Israeli jails. I'm the sole provider for my family now, and the situation has become extremely difficult. 💔 🙏 I ask you to stand with me and my family during this difficult time until I recover and regain my health.
Every act of support, no matter how small, whether it's sharing my message or making a donation, means so much to us and gives us hope. 💛 🤍 Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will never forget your support and for standing by me.

NPR: 'Sailors have been arriving in Norfolk, Va., home to the world's biggest naval base, since at least the middle of March. Several groups that provide aid to military personnel say that the sailors arrived with very little. A call went out to community groups, asking for basic supplies like hygiene products.
"The base was asking for donations of toiletries and different things for the sailors coming back, because they were coming back with nothing," said Derrick Johnson, commander of American Legion Post 327 in Norfolk.
The post hosted a spaghetti dinner for some of the sailors, said Keith Shanesy, one of the post's vice commanders.
"They literally told them, 'Get what you can get in the backpack. You've got to go,'" he said. "They came with no uniforms, nothing. The three we met first, they came with the clothes on their back, what they could fit in that backpack."'

#US lawmakers Rep. #PramilaJayapal (D-WA) and Rep. #JonathanJackson (D-IL) traveled to Cuba and gave an exclusive interview to Belly of the Beast from Havana.
Their visit comes at a critical time for the island. Cuba is grappling with a deep economic crisis, fueled by U.S. “maximum pressure” #sanctions and an #oil #blockade.
“The only way to really understand the impact, the humanitarian crisis we’ve created, is by being here and talking to the Cuban people,” said Jayapal.
After their visit, both lawmakers described what they saw as a humanitarian crisis.“This is an act of war that our country must stop,” stated Jackson.

I'm currently waiting out the war teaching remotely from Thailand. About half my students are still in Abu Dhabi, the remainder are as far west as California and as far east as Seoul.
Meanwhile, the messages from Washington are triumphant even braggadocious about victory.
But if we were winning, the embassy would be open and my students wouldn't be ducking out of class due to missile alerts.

The miscalculation of Iran's military resilience & ability continues defensive response under bombardment is examplified in the Tangerine Tyrant's weekend outburst on social media, effectively undertaking to commit war crimes (the bombing of civilian infrastructure) unless the Iranians 'open' the Strait of Hormuz.
As noted yesterday Iran has not closed the Strait, merely imposed a toll (albeit effectively at gunpoint).
The Tyrant misunderstood Iran;
Are we surprised? No!
The US right-wing has done a brilliant job of trapping its people into submission. No social safety net, no free healthcare, little paid time off, bad public transport, unions blocked, violent police. If you’re one pay-packet away from losing your home & employee healthcare, it’s hard to fight back or go on strike. The weapon of a boycott is there, though. Turn capitalist worship of consumption back on them. If every anti-Trump person in the US boycotted Amazon, that might be something.

Depending on whose definitions you accept, the US has either 11 or 13
military bases and listening stations in the UK. They include the misnamed
RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, actually a US air force base, from which it
deploys F-35 jets; RAF Menwith Hill in North Yorkshire, in reality a US NSA
base conducting military espionage and operational support; RAF
Croughton, part-operated by the CIA, which allegedly used the base to spy
on Angela Merkel among many others; and RAF Fylingdales, part of the US
Space Surveillance Network. If the US now sides with Russia against the UK
and Europe, these could just as well be Russian bases and listening stations.

So there are a lot of rumors going around that trump is in a health crisis, because he has not been seen all day. With his press office denying it and assuring all is normal, in a less than convincing way. And Paul Krugman notes that some of his social posts sound off, ending with “glory be to God.”
Another explanation would be that trump is on a secret flight to the Middle East, to visit troops. With Hegseth, who typed the post for him and added some of his language in.
