@RBReich @without_are They have no ideas or policy!

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

@marceelias @pinkshoesrbest Honestly, who’s surprised??? All they do is cheat, steal and break laws. Greedy!

🚨BREAKING: Newly obtained documents show a clear paper trail of Trump administration officials planning to share sensitive voter data with an outside political group trying to overturn elections, as part of a secret agreement. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/ex…

@Acyn @brontyman Melania: Be Best! 😂😂😂

Hakeem Jeffries responds to Karoline Leavitt: She wants to lecture us about civility? Get lost. Clean up your own house before you have anything to say to us.

@borntoraisehogs @GenoVeno73 @realDonaldTrump Ken, you have obviously never been sexually assaulted. You don't understand the trauma people go through. And when reported, we are not believed.

@GenoVeno73 @realDonaldTrump Waiting is always a mistake. Never allow such abuse go unreported.. If nothing else think of his next victim.

The woman below pictured with the Pedo-in-Chief @realDonaldTrump is Béatrice (or Beatrice) Keul, a former Swiss model and beauty pageant contestant. In 2024, she came out stating a Trump employee went up to her in 1993 and said Trump wanted a "private meeting." Béatrice Keul thought @realDonaldTrump just "wanted to talk," but as soon as she entered the room, she stated, "he jumped on me. I just had time to turn. I was not prepared. I tried to do what I could to get rid of him." "He kissed me on the lips and on the neck. He tried to lift my dress. He was grabbing and touching my body everywhere he could." __________________________________ Well, as of April 2026, Béatrice Keul told the French newspaper Ouest-France that she is collaborating with U.S. lawyers on a potential civil lawsuit against the Pedo-in-Chief @realDonaldTrump She's hoping to use a "legal window" or lookback statutes in certain states that temporarily suspend statutes of limitations for sexual assault claims (similar to those used in some Epstein/Cosby cases). Her goal — force Trump to testify under oath. 👇👇👇👇

@cutiieepie6 @TrueBluPatriot Many years ago a kid did that near me and killed the driver.

I am literally shaking. Some teenager threw a rock off an overpass and did this to my truck. I caught him, and his dad had the nerve to say, "He’s just a kid being a kid, I’ll give you $50 for the 'inconvenience'." $50?? This is a specialized windshield with sensors! He told me I was "ruining a child’s future" by calling the police. I feel like he’s raising a criminal and expects me to pay for it. Do I press full charges?

@gothburz And this will continue as there is no end to greed. And nothing will happen. Oh wait, the rest of us will suffer because of it.

I have three monitors on my desk. The left one shows the order book. The middle one shows Truth Social. The right one shows the investigation queue. On April 21st, the left screen moved first. I am a Senior Surveillance Analyst at a commodities exchange. I have held this position for nineteen years. My job is to monitor trading activity for suspicious patterns and generate compliance reports. I am employee of the quarter. I have a mug. At 19:54 GMT on April 21st, someone placed 4,260 sell orders on Brent crude futures. They did this during post-settlement. The window after the market closes when daily volume is typically in the dozens. Sometimes single digits. Sometimes I watch the screen and nothing happens for forty minutes and I think about whether my daughter is happy. On April 21st, someone placed $430 million in directional bets in 120 seconds during that window. One hundred and twenty seconds. I timed it on my watch because the system clock rounds to the nearest minute and I have found, in nineteen years, that precision matters to no one but me. At 20:10 GMT, the President posted on Truth Social that he was extending the Iran ceasefire. Brent dropped from $100.91 to $96.83. I flagged the trade. I flag a lot of trades. I want to tell you what happens to my flags. My flags go into a system called TRACE. Trade Review and Compliance Evaluation. I did not name it. The system generates a report. The report goes to a committee. The committee has a name I am not allowed to share but I can tell you it meets quarterly and the conference room has a credenza with bottled water that is sparkling because someone once put still water in the room and a managing director sent an email about it that was longer than most of my surveillance reports. The committee reviews my flags. The committee has reviewed all of my flags. Here is the complete record of actions taken on my flags in 2026: Reviewed. That's it. "Reviewed" is a status. In compliance, a status is the absence of an action that has been given a name so it looks like one. Let me show you my flags. March 9th. Someone bet millions on oil falling at 18:29 GMT. Forty-seven minutes later, a CBS reporter posted that the President said the Iran war was "very complete, pretty much." Oil dropped 25%. Forty-seven minutes. I flagged it. March 23rd. Someone sold 5,100 lots of Brent and WTI crude futures between 10:49 and 10:50 GMT. Fourteen minutes later, the President posted on Truth Social about a "COMPLETE AND TOTAL RESOLUTION" to hostilities. Oil dropped 11%. Over 13,000 contracts traded in sixty seconds after the post. Fourteen minutes. I flagged it. April 7th. Someone established a $950 million short position in oil futures at 19:45 GMT. Three hours later, the President declared a two-week ceasefire. Nine hundred and fifty million dollars. I flagged it. April 17th. Someone placed $760 million in bearish bets twenty minutes before Iran's foreign minister confirmed the Strait of Hormuz would reopen. Seven hundred and sixty million. I flagged it. April 21st. The $430 million. Fifteen minutes. I flagged it. That is $2.1 billion in directional oil bets in April alone. Every one of them landed on the correct side of a presidential announcement. Every one of them was placed in a window so narrow you could measure it in bathroom breaks. I flagged every single one. The CFTC chair told a Congressional committee that his organization has "zero tolerance" for fraud and insider trading. I wrote that quote on a Post-it note and stuck it to my right monitor. The one that shows the investigation queue. The investigation queue has not moved since March. Zero tolerance. Zero staff. Zero budget. Zero prosecutions under the STOCK Act since it was signed in 2012. Fourteen years. The law has existed for fourteen years and has been enforced zero times. In compliance, we call that a compliance rate of one hundred percent. No cases filed means no cases lost. You cannot fail an audit you never conduct. We call that excellence. Last month the White House sent an internal email to staff. I was not on the distribution list but I have read reporting on it and I need you to sit with what I am about to say. The email instructed White House staff not to use insider information to place bets on prediction markets. The White House had to send a memo telling its own employees not to insider-trade. I want you to read that sentence again. Not because the instruction was unclear. Because the instruction was necessary. Because someone in the building looked at the same pattern I have been flagging for months on my three monitors and decided the appropriate response was an email. The President's son sits on the advisory board of Kalshi. He is an investor in Polymarket. Both are prediction markets. Both saw accounts created days before U.S. military action. One account. I cannot stop thinking about this account. It was called "Burdensome-Mix." It was created in December. On January 2nd, it placed $32,500 on Venezuela's president being removed from power. On January 3rd, Maduro was seized by U.S. special forces. Burdensome-Mix collected $436,000. Then it changed its username. Then it disappeared. One account is a coincidence. But there were six. Six accounts were created on Polymarket in February. All bet on U.S. strikes on Iran by the 28th. When the President confirmed the strikes, the six accounts collected $1.2 million between them. Five of the six never placed another bet. The sixth went on to correctly predict the ceasefire date and made another $163,000. My surveillance system logged all of this. My system logs everything. My system does not have opinions and neither do I. I generate reports. The reports go to committees. The committees meet quarterly. Between meetings, the windows get shorter and the bets get larger. March 9th: 47 minutes. March 23rd: 14 minutes. April 17th: 20 minutes. April 21st: 15 minutes. The window is compressing. In March, you had time to make coffee between the trade and the announcement. By April, you had time to send a text. By summer, at this rate, the trade and the announcement will be the same event. The spokesman said any implication that administration officials are engaged in insider trading is "baseless and irresponsible reporting." Then the White House sent the email again. I have been in compliance for nineteen years. I have seen insider trading run out of strip mall offices by men who could not spell "derivative." I have seen pump-and-dump schemes coordinated over WhatsApp by people who used their real names. I have seen a man try to manipulate soybean futures from a Panera Bread. I have never seen $2.1 billion in perfectly timed trades across five presidential announcements in a single month go uninvestigated. But I have also never seen a compliance system work this beautifully. Every trade flagged. Every report filed. Every committee briefed. Every quarterly meeting attended. Bottled water: sparkling. Minutes: distributed. Zero prosecutions. As long as the flags go up and the cases don't, my performance review says I am meeting expectations. I am meeting expectations. The system is meeting expectations. The $2.1 billion is meeting expectations. The fourteen-year-old law with zero prosecutions is meeting expectations. The left screen moves. The middle screen moves. The right screen stays perfectly, immaculately still. In my field, we call this price discovery.

@AdamKinzinger Yes!

Legit question. Now that we all see how self defeating and dumb gerrymandering is, how about we pass a nationwide ban on it to take effect in the 2030 census?

@alaynatreene What about Ukraine??? And this from a draft dodger.

Trump speaking to CNBC claims he could've "won" the Vietnam & Iraq wars in five months "Five months. I would have won Vietnam, very quickly. I would have, if I were president. I would have won Iraq in the same amount of time"

@Angry_Staffer One of 47s cabinet members called it the Strait of Vermouth! 😂😂😂

The “Strait of Iran” is crazy. Oman and UAE are probably pissed right now.

@AzPetrich Minnesota has one of the highest turnouts. My city has had about 85% turnout.

Dear America, Can we please have a discussion about Hugary's nearly 80% voter turnout? If you don't participate in Democracy, you lose it.

@SenSchumer You have the power! Do something!!!

Trump is a military moron.  His war, with a price tag of $44 billion and $4+ gas, made us worse off today than we were when he started it. And if he restarts this war we will be in even worse shape. We must pass our War Powers Resolution to end this war for good.

@AdamKinzinger @GarciaRosalind Plus he’s lifted sanctions on Russia. Who’s he working for? Art of the Deal my azz!

Wow. The biggest disaster of a president EVER

@RepJeffries Aren't you in a place of authority??? I can vote and that's about it. I'd vote you out if I could!

Congress must immediately end this reckless war of choice in Iran before Donald Trump plunges us into World War III. It’s time for every single Republican to put patriotic duty over party and stop the madness. Enough.

@anmut @Faytuks Like the president he talked to recently???

@Faytuks Yes, but Trump claims to be negotiating with other Iranian leaders - or is that just his imagination?

A senior Iranian source tells Reuters: - Will close Bab al-Mandab if situation escalates - US not changed its tone - No negotiations with the Americans - Iran will strike power plants in response to energy attacks - Entire region plunged into darkness; including Saudi Arabia

@StevenBeschloss That goes for the people who support him!

No matter how long I live after we get through this dark chapter, I will never get over the immorality, the amorality, the corruption, the criminality and the cruelty in service to one of the worst humans to ever walk the earth.

@SenDuckworth @JimGorm098 Veterans, farmers, seniors, children, disabled, etc., he couldn’t care less about any of us. It’s all about him, his cruelty and greed.

Trump was warned this would happen. He did it anyway. Now, over 10,000 Veterans lost their homes. 90,000 more are on track for foreclosure. On top of cutting jobs, slashing benefits and throwing our heroes into an unnecessary war. The most anti-Veteran President in history.

@ArtCandee @dereksabres Sharpies, windmills cause cancer, etc. I won’t watch. Just BS.

Whaddya think Donald Trump is going to announce tonight in his address to the nation?

@SenSchumer @SecRubio Bring your spine to that conversation.

I can promise this: The Senate will not vote to leave NATO and abandon our allies just because Trump is upset they wouldn’t go along with his reckless war of choice.   Thank you to @SecRubio for sponsoring the bill in 2023 requiring a two thirds vote of the Senate to make sure clueless presidents couldn’t act on a whim.

@benonwine @jkf3500 A friend was bullied by 2 kids in kindergarten and the teacher did nothing. He’s a junior in high school and hates school. He’s a good student but sticks to himself.

A 10-year-old boy is dead because he was driven to suicide by constant bullying he received at school. Sammy Teusch of Greenfield, Indiana was bullied up until the night he took his own life according to his family. Bullied over his glasses. Bullied over his teeth. Day after day. His parents didn’t ignore it. They didn’t stay quiet. They went to the school 20 times asking for help, that’s 20 TIMES! Nothing changed. He was mocked. He was hurt. He was even attacked on a school bus. And still… nothing was done. Until it was too late. His dad said: “I held him in my arms… something no father should ever have to do.” I can’t get that out of my head. This isn’t “kids being kids.” It’s cruelty. And it’s failure from the adults who were meant to protect him. Bullying has no place in any school. None. And yet here we are. How many more kids have to be pushed to this point before something actually changes? PLEASE SHARE AND MAKE SAMMY’S STORY VIRAL SO NO ONE HAS TO SUFFER LIKE HE DID. 🙏 END BULLYING, BECAUSE IT KILLS!

@Paul_L_OBrien Luckily, you can give her the same answer every time. We went through that with my mom.

From the files of an Alzheimer’s caregiver. Today my mom asked me at least 20 times where my dad is. He died in 2002. She asked me at least 20 times why I was sitting in a recliner resting. I had a painful surgery last week and I’m still recovering ( barely) She asked me at least 20 times when her parents were going to stop by. They have been dead for 40 and 35 years respectively. She asked me where Paul is 20 times ( that’s me) She wandered around every time I turned my head away from her. She walked by with no clothes on once. She went into the bathroom and locked herself in. All while I tried to watch her 24/7 while on painkillers. At least I could laugh and even asked her if she’d like to dance once. Thankfully she said absolutely not. 🤣 God bless her. Alzheimer’s is a vicious disease.
