Dhillon perhaps in line to succeed Pam Bondi as U.S. Attorney General, it's time for POLITICO to come out with a hit piece about the "online right" cheering her spending a year "trying to turn the Justice Department in the opposite direction." That's a good thing, because it was headed in the wrong direction.]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 20:00:39 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[Civil Rights]]><![CDATA[DOJ]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Harmeet K.

As we reported, pro-regime Iranians had earlier gathered as human shields around power plants and over bridges in anticipation of Trump's "Infrastructure Tuesday."]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 19:45:44 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[Associated Press]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/04/07/ap-irans-supreme-national-security-council-has-accepted-a-two-week-ceasefire-n2426904<![CDATA[Renee Good, just a mom dropping her kids off at school, was shot three times by an ICE agent. Critics have called that overkill, to pardon the term. But if she was going to run down one ICE agent with her SUV, why wouldn't law enforcement fear that she'd try to do the same to other agents in the area? She turned her vehicle into a weapon.]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 19:30:01 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[California]]><![CDATA[FBI]]><![CDATA[ICE]]><![CDATA[Illegal Alien]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/04/07/video-shows-illegal-wanted-for-murder-attempting-to-run-down-ice-agents-n2426899<![CDATA[Well, we're having at least one more installment of Rubio Tuesday because the Rubio memes continued for yet another week.]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 19:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[FuzzyChimp]]><![CDATA[Marco Rubio]]>https://twitchy.com/fuzzychimp/2026/04/07/rubio-tuesday-n2426723<![CDATA[Even though California Gov. Gavin Newsom has said he's certain there won't be an election in 2028, it's certainly no secret that he's got his eye on the White House. Newsom runs his state with First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who seems more and more like she's going to be a liability to his campaign. The filmmaker's keen eye has noticed that "the first two prominent people pushed out of this administration were women."]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 18:00:55 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[2028 Elections]]><![CDATA[California]]><![CDATA[Crime]]><![CDATA[Gavin Newsom]]><![CDATA[White House]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/04/07/james-woods-calls-out-jennifer-newsom-for-telling-prisoners-their-crimes-were-probably-accidents-n2426894<![CDATA[Scum of the Earth will scum together, apparently.

As we reported, Iranian diplomatic outposts far from the blast radius had a good time trolling Trump and his 8 p.m. Eastern deadline, but what's going on inside Iran? Well, a whole bunch of women in burkas (along with a handful of men here and there) have formed human shields around power plants … hours before the deadline. They're also occupying bridges.]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 17:00:47 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/04/07/fox-news-iranians-locking-arms-to-form-human-shields-around-power-plants-n2426891<![CDATA[As dozens and dozens of Democrats are screaming for President Donald Trump to be removed via the 25th Amendment for threatening war crimes and genocide, Iranian embassies and consulates far from the blast zone are making fun of Trump's 8 p.m. deadline to open the Strait of Hormuz. As we reported on Monday, Aaron Rupar, whose job deceptively editing video clips is psychologically immense, said that Trump's deadline for the regime, posted to Truth Social, couldn't be ruled out as a threat to strike Iran with nuclear weapons.]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:30:03 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Truth Social]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/04/07/iranian-embassy-in-zimbabwe-mocks-trumps-deadline-n2426888<![CDATA[Two things you're going to get sick of hearing Democrats say as President Donald Trump's deadline for Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz approaches are "war crimes" and "25th Amendment." We've been through this before during Trump's first term, when he warned North Korea that nuclear threats would be met with "fire and fury like the world has never seen." That's when the news cycle turned to Trump's mental state, and quack psychiatrist Bandy X. Lee became one of Brian Stelter's "Reliable Sources" for calling for Trump to be put in a 72-hour psychiatric hold.]]>Tue, 07 Apr 2026 16:00:28 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[Congress]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Iran]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/04/07/rep-ro-khanna-we-need-to-invoke-the-25th-amendment-and-remove-trump-for-threatening-war-crimes-n2426892<![CDATA[Nothing to see here.

So, it was inevitable they would run out of fresh assaults and start recycling one or more of their many failed attempts. The spinner recently landed on ‘dementia’ (again). Frequent NBC News and MS Now medical analyst Dr. Vin Gupta decided to provide his distant diagnosis of Trump’s current mental state. You’ll never guess who he said was ‘sharp as a tack’ in the recent past. Oh, you just did.
