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.

Rep. Mike Levin
Rep. Mike Levin@RepMikeLevin·
This should be on the front page of every newspaper in America. A Syrian billionaire needed U.S. sanctions lifted so he could cash in on $12 billion in reconstruction contracts. In an attempt to influence American foreign policy, he proposed a Trump-branded golf course, cut Jared Kushner & Ivanka Trump into a multibillion-dollar real estate deal for a resort in Albania, and had someone physically deliver a stone engraved with the Trump family crest to a Republican Member of Congress with instructions to take it to the White House to get the President's attention. Trump threw his weight behind repealing the sanctions. They were lifted. The contracts are moving, the Trump family’s deals are expanding, and not a single Washington Republican is willing to say a word about any of it. This is a corruption of everything the office of the presidency is supposed to stand for, and the American people deserve to know about it. nytimes.com/2026/04/19/us/…

"Veteran's Against Fascism," including disabled veterans, were arrested inside of the Capitol building today as they staged a protest against Trump's war in Iran. This is Trump's America.

The White House is completely silent as BBC confirms a consistent pattern of massive financial spikes occurring just minutes before Donald Trump makes market moving announcements. The administration is facing severe allegations of illegally profiteering off inside knowledge.

Democratic State Auditor Rob Sand has shut down more waste, fraud, and abuse than any state auditor in Iowa history. So far, $29 million taxpayer dollars have been recovered.

The PBS NewsHour has documented the Trump family's unprecedented conflicts of interest. Jared Kushner, a 'volunteer' with no official position, has $6 billion in assets from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar-the same governments he is negotiating with on Middle East peace. Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have invested in drone companies that are now competing for Pentagon contracts in the war their father started. Forbes estimated that Eric and Don Jr., they were worth about $40, $50 million each before the 2024 election. About a year later, Eric at $400 million and Donald Trump Jr. at about $300 million. They're using war and diplomacy to enrich themselves

@DakotaSteve @RobSandIA What a stupid claim. MAGAS bringing up pedos is really laughable. Lots of pics with Donald and Epstein - zero with Rob Sand.

Big news! We just launched the first tv ad of the general election. And the message is simple: stealing is bad, and if you steal tax dollars, you should go to jail. Pretty basic.

A Trump insider opened a $51,000,000 oil short position — hours before Trump announced a ceasefire with Iran. This guy is now 16 for 16. $170 million in profit. A perfect streak. This is not a talented trader. "We placed the bet." "The ceasefire dropped." "We cashed out." Sixteen times in a row. That is not skill. That is not instinct. That is not research. That is someone who knows what is coming before it comes. Think about what that actually means. A private individual is placing a $51 million bet that oil prices are about to collapse — hours before a sitting president announces a ceasefire that collapses oil prices. Not once. Sixteen times. Zero losses. There are only two explanations and both should terrify you. Either someone inside the White House — or with direct access to it — is leaking ceasefire negotiations to traders before diplomats, before the press, before the American people hear a single word. That is insider trading. That is corruption. That is a federal crime. Or the timing of the announcement itself is being shaped around the trade. Which is worse. This is not a genius investor who reads the news faster than you do. The news hadn't happened yet. He wasn't reading the news. He was getting a phone call. While Americans were watching the ceasefire announcement and feeling relieved — somebody already knew. Somebody had already bet $51 million on it. And somebody was already counting their winnings. You are not watching a free market. You are watching a White House with a side hustle. Via~ Really American

Kamala Harris
Kamala Harris@KamalaHarris·
The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it. This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this. Trump's recklessness is needlessly putting our brave service members in harm's way, destroying America's global standing, and making life even more unaffordable for the American people. We must all stand against this and oppose funding this illegal war of choice.

So let me get this straight… •$40 billion spent •300+ Americans wounded •Over a dozen killed •Oil prices doubled •U.S. bases severely damaged And what do we get? Iran keeps its uranium. No nuclear deal. The Strait of Hormuz still unstable. And the world sees us as weaker, not stronger. Sounds about right for a Trump deal.

Absolute insanity at the Pentagon. Pete Hegseth is so triggered by Pope Leo's anti-war message that he literally banned Catholic services at the Pentagon on Good Friday! The Trump administration is now actively suppressing religious freedom to protect their war agenda.

BREAKING: Watch the exact moment that Fox News admits that Donald Trump's tariffs actually didn't bring back jobs and cost the average American over $1,000 more a year on goods. Wow.

Bondi was awful, but no worse than Patel. Noem was terrible, but no worse than Hegseth. Funny that it’s only the women who get fired.

Reports now that Hegseth oversold the war to Trump and underestimated Iran's willingness to fight back. It's almost as if he's unqualified for his job. Too bad the Senate didn't have confirmation hearings; those would have proven his manifest unsuitability to lead the Pentagon.

So Marco Rubio, the guy who wouldn’t be a US citizen without birthright citizenship because his parents were non-citizen immigrants when he was born in the US - is enabling a dictator trying to end birthright citizenship.
