Democrat says he’s filed articles of impeachment against Trump over social media post
A Democratic member of the U.S. House of Representatives says he’s filed articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump for a post threatening Iran.
Rep. John Larson of Connecticut cited a social media post that threatened to end the civilization in Iran if it did not agree to his demands after weeks of U.S.-Israeli strikes.
‘They have an obligation to put patriotism over politics.’
“Donald Trump has blown past every requirement to be removed from office. And it’s getting worse. His illegal war in Iran is not only driving up prices for American families — it has cost American lives,” Larson said in the statement Tuesday.
“His profane and sacrilegious Easter Sunday and subsequent threats, including ‘a whole civilization will die’ and ‘open the Strait … or you’ll be living in hell’ not only foreshadow war crimes, but put our security at risk,” Larson added.
Larson said he filed for impeachment but that Trump’s Cabinet should seek the speedier remedy of removing the president from the Oval Office through the 25th Amendment.
“Members of the Cabinet and those closest to the President can act immediately,” Larson added. “They have an obligation to put patriotism over politics and invoke the 25th Amendment. Donald Trump is unable or unwilling to faithfully execute the responsibilities of the office and he is putting the nation’s security and economy in jeopardy.”
Many others have called for the president to be removed via the 25th Amendment, though that effort may have been tempered by the announcement of a ceasefire an hour before the deadline Trump set for Iran.
Among those calling for the president to be removed are former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), and Rep. Yassamin Ansari (D-Ariz.).
Trump was already impeached twice in his first term.

Others, like Republican Rep. Mike Lawler of New York, defended the president’s threat.
“We’re talking about taking decisive action against Iran’s energy and civilian infrastructure. That is what the president is talking about,” Lawler told CNN. “He’s not talking about obliterating innocent people.”

‘Wtf’: Still-living Michael J. Fox reacts to CNN ‘in memoriam’ video
Beloved actor Michael J. Fox was clearly confused to find out he was allegedly dead, according to CNN, a day after he was on stage at a television festival.
Fox, 64, known for “Back to the Future” and “Teen Wolf,” took to social media on Thursday to tell followers to relax, because people think he has died every single year.
‘I thought the world was ending, but apparently it’s just me.’
Fox had just appeared at PaleyFest on Wednesday, making a surprise cameo on stage in Los Angeles. His own surprise, however, would come the next day when CNN began circulating a web article and video package claiming that he had passed away.
“Remembering the life of actor Michael J. Fox,” CNN wrote in an apparent screenshot of the piece, accompanied by a three-and-a-half minute tribute video.
‘Doing great’
This prompted TMZ to reach out to Fox’s team, who replied to confirm that he was in fact alive.
“Michael is doing great. He was at PaleyFest yesterday. He was on stage and was giving interviews,” they reiterated.
The real truth-telling was left to Fox though; he took to his Threads page (Meta’s version of X) to ponder his options.
“How do you react when you turn on the TV and CNN is reporting your death?” he asked, before taking a shot at the network formerly known as MSNBC.

“Do you … A) switch to MNSBC, or whatever they are calling themselves these days, (B) Pour [scalding] hot water on your lap, if it hurts [you’re] fine, (C) Call your wife, hopefully she’s concerned but reassuring, (D) Relax, they do this once every year, [or] (E) Ask yourself wtf?”
All of the above
Fox apparently did not get the 2025 memo that MSNBC changed its name to MSNOW, which the Guardian described as a somewhat forced acronym that stands for “My Source for News, Opinion and the World.”
The original name identified a now-defunct partnership between Microsoft and NBC, which launched in 1996 as a combination of the Microsoft Network and NBC. MSN was also the colloquial name of a popular online messenger service released in 1999.
Fox concluded his remarks by saying, “I thought the world was ending, but apparently it’s just me and I’m ok. Love, Mike.”

Dead reckoning
CNN later issued a statement through a spokesperson that said, “The package was published in error,” NBC News reported. “We have removed it from our platforms and send our apologies to Michael J. Fox and his family.”
Fox’s appearance in L.A. was to promote his TV show “Shrinking,” which just finished filming its third season.

‘Make a lot of money’: Trump administration has a job opportunity for adult video gamers
The Trump administration is looking to tap a seemingly untouched resource: video game-playing adults.
A federal agency put out a call on Friday using a video that literally starts like an Xbox game.
‘It’s not a game. It’s a career.’
After a series of short video-game clips, text on the screen asks, “Are you up for the challenge?”
“You’ve been training for this,” it continues, building suspense, before a gamer sitting in front of his computer screens is transported into his new career: ensuring that passenger planes take off and land safely and without incident.
“Become an air traffic controller,” the ad says, with a club remix of the 2009 Yeah Yeah Yeahs hit “Heads Will Roll” playing in the background.
“It’s not a game,” the upbeat recruitment spot declares. “It’s a career.”
The 70-second video told prospective applicants that not only would they keep “millions of people safe” every day, but they would “make a lot of money” doing so.
RELATED: Floppy discs and copper strips: Newark failures hint at looming threat of another FAA disaster
Per the ad, gamers making the jump to an air traffic controller career could look forward to an “average salary” of “$155,000 per year after 3 years.”
Air traffic controller was just one of the roles at the Department of Transportation and FAA that was revealed to be sorely out of touch when President Trump took office for his second term in 2025.
Last year, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy reported that a near hour-long grounding of planes could be linked to “incredibly old technology” that utilized floppy discs and copper wires.
Earlier in 2025, documents about FAA hiring practices showed that the federal agency had been specifically looking to hire people with disabilities, which included “hearing, vision, missing extremities, partial paralysis, complete paralysis, epilepsy, severe intellectual disability, psychiatric disability, and dwarfism.”
This appears to be a stark contrast to the Transportation Department under Duffy, who once called the department’s systems “not effective to control the traffic that we have in the airspace today.”

Last September, Duffy met his goal to recruit at least 2,000 new air traffic controllers by bringing in 2,026. This was coupled with a stated goal of hiring at least 8,900 new air traffic controllers through 2028.
“To reach the next generation of air traffic controllers, we need to adapt,” Duffy said about the ad targeting gamers. “This campaign’s innovative communication style and focus on gaming taps into a growing demographic of young adults who have many of the hard skills it takes to be a successful controller,” he told the Daily Caller News Foundation.
According to a 2025 audit from the Office of Inspector General, the FAA employs about 13,000 traffic controllers in over 300 facilities across the U.S. Nearly 10,600 of those are “certified professional controllers.”

SCOTUS delivers bad news to Ohio ‘Democrat’ who tried to run as a Republican
A Democrat interloper hoping, in his own words, to help get Democrats “a foot in the door” in a deep-red Ohio district was certified in February to run as a Republican candidate in the coming primary election for the Buckeye State’s 15th Congressional District.
Samuel Ronan — a former candidate for the chair of the Democratic National Committee — was, however, disqualified by Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R) following protest by a GOP voter.
Ronan’s fight to stay on the ballot went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which delivered the subversive some bad news on Thursday.
Infiltrator
Permitted under Ohio law to contest the candidacy of a party candidate, GOP voter Mark Schare did so on Feb. 20, claiming that Ronan had misrepresented his affiliation with the GOP.
‘Just one problem: he is a Democrat.’
According to court documents, Schare referred to Ronan’s prior remarks about tricking Republicans into voting for Democrats as well as a January 2026 Facebook post in which Ronan wrote,
I believe i [sic] very clearly mentioned in that very same DNC Chair race that Democrats, if they wanted to govern and regain the trust of Americans, would have to primary Republicans in deep red districts, as Republicans, just to get a foot in the door. So, if I am doing anything, it’s following the argument I made on that stage.
Ronan later admitted his strategy to the Ohio Board of Elections but suggested that he was not presently “fighting on behalf of the traitorous Democrats” who voted to fund U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. He also argued that he should be able to present his leftist ideology as a Republican and let the voters decide “what is or what is not Republican.”

The Ohio Board of Elections put his disqualification to a vote and ended up tied along party lines. The decision was consequently kicked to Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose (R), who broke the deadlock in favor of disqualification, revealing on March 19 that he was removing Ronan from the Ohio primary ballot.
LaRose emphasized in his decision that the “issue here is not ‘ideological purity,'” but “the integrity of the electoral process.”
Rejected
The Democrat interloper — who noted last month that he opposes sealing the border and stopping the “migrant invasion” — challenged his disqualification, suing LaRose and members of the Franklin County Board of Elections, and alleging that his First Amendment rights were violated.
Ronan managed to obtain a temporary restraining order; however, U.S. District Court Judge Sarah Morrison, an appointee of President Donald Trump, had it vacated and denied Ronan a preliminary injunction earlier this month.
“It cannot be the case that a State must allow a candidate on a partisan ballot even if he lied about his party affiliation simply because the First Amendment is implicated,” wrote Morrison. “To do so ‘would subject virtually every electoral regulation to strict scrutiny, hamper the ability of States to run efficient and equitable elections, and compel federal courts to rewrite state electoral codes.'”
After a three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit — made aware of Ronan’s recent social post in which he stated, “Leftists need to infiltrate [R]epublican spaces and primary them” — similarly refused to put the ex-candidate back on the ballot.
Alongside his campaign manager, Ana Cordero, Ronan appealed at last to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Ronan’s legal counsel claimed in the emergency application, “Ronan did not act in bad faith. He was honest. He made plain that though he was once a Democrat he is now seeking to transport across the aisle ideas that were not embraced by the Democratic Party. Ronan’s campaign is a good faith attempt to win over Republican voters by advocating his values — values he believes Democrats have forsaken. That is not a ‘strategic candidacy’ or some kind of trick. It is not unlawful.”
Republican Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s office said in a response to the application, “Samuel Ronan wanted to run for office in Ohio’s Republican primary as a Republican. Just one problem: he is a Democrat.”
The office noted further that “Ronan’s request is upside down.”
“Political parties possess a First Amendment associational right to exclude those who do not share their values,” said Yost’s office. “So it would be quite surprising if the First Amendment forbids States from protecting that right when the Amendment ‘barely — and only provisionally — permits’ States to compel association.”
Justice Brett Kavanaugh referred Ronan’s application to the full court, which denied Ronan’s request on Thursday, reported the Courthouse News Service.

Kamala Harris hints she ‘might’ try to word-salad her way to the White House
Failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris signaled she is eyeing another run for the White House.
Harris revealed that she “might” run for president in 2028 despite losing all seven swing states and the popular vote in 2024. After spending months on a book tour in the South, Harris hinted during the Democrats’ National Action Network convention on Friday that her presidential ambitions are alive and well.
‘I’m thinking about it in the context of then, you know …’
“Listen, I might,” Harris told Rev. Al Sharpton when asked about running again.
“I might. I’m thinking about it. I’m thinking about it.”

Harris cited her four years as vice president to former President Joe Biden, signaling that she is uniquely qualified compared to other potential Democrat candidates.
“I am thinking about it, but let me also say this,” Harris said. “I served for four years being a heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States. I spent countless hours in my West Wing office, footsteps away from the Oval Office. I spent countless hours in the Oval Office and the Situation Room.”
“I know what the job is, and I know what it requires,” Harris added.
While soft-launching a potential presidential bid, it wasn’t long before Harris went on into one of her signature word-salad tangents.
“I am thinking about it in the context of then, you know, is who, and where, and how can the best job be done for the American people,” Harris stammered. “That’s how I’m thinking about it.”

Heroic Oklahoma principal praised for thwarting alleged ‘Columbine’-inspired attack
After what could have been a devastating school shooting like that at Columbine High School in 1999, one Oklahoma town is praising a hero rather than mourning this week.
On Tuesday afternoon at Pauls Valley High School in Oklahoma, an armed suspect entered the school with the intent to kill.
‘Principal Moore acted bravely to protect students’ lives.’
However, the shooting was quickly thwarted when Principal Kirk Moore sprang into action.
The suspect entered the school near the principal’s office. The suspect reportedly drove his truck with two pistols to the school, entered the building, ordered everyone to get on the ground, and attempted to fire one of the guns.

However, the gun did not fire at first.
Moore was then able to subdue the shooter, doubtlessly saving a number of lives in the process. He was shot in the leg as he restrained the shooter, though the injury is reportedly minor and Moore is expected to make a recovery.
“Hug your children extra close tonight. After the events of today, I am so appreciative for the brave actions of our high school Principal Kirk Moore and his staff. He undoubtedly saved lives today through his actions,” Pauls Valley Councilman Kahn Nirschl told News 9.
“Principal Moore acted bravely to protect students’ lives. Sarah and I are praying for his quick recovery. I’m thankful for the swift response from law enforcement and school staff, and I’m grateful no students were harmed,” Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt (R) said in a statement.
KOCO News reported that the suspect, identified as former Pauls Valley student Victor Hawkins, told investigators that he planned to kill students, faculty, and then himself. He also allegedly told investigators that he had “every intention of re-enacting what happened at Columbine.”
Classes at the high school were canceled on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

Suspected SoCal warehouse arsonist compared himself to alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione, feds say
A massive fire at a Southern California warehouse was allegedly sparked by a man who compared himself to Luigi Mangione, the man accused of executing a health care CEO.
The conflagration on Tuesday completely destroyed a 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse and caused over half a billion dollars in damages, according to a statement from Bill Essayli, the first assistant United States attorney for the Central District of California.
‘We will not tolerate political activists who resort to violence to advance their ideology.’
Video later surfaced showing the alleged arsonist lighting fires inside the warehouse while mocking the company for not paying its employees enough to live on.
“If you’re not going to pay us enough to f**king live or afford to live, at least pay us enough not to do this s**t,” the man records himself saying as he lights packages of toilet paper on fire.
The concept of a “living wage” is one extolled by left-wing activists including Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.).
On Friday, Essayli said there was other evidence pointing to a political motivation for the alleged arsonist, who was identified as 29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim of Highland.
“Abdulkarim filmed himself setting merchandise on fire inside the warehouse and made statements criticizing capitalism and large corporations,” Essayli wrote. “He also compared himself to accused murderer Luigi Mangione.”
Mangione allegedly shot and killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson on the streets of Manhattan in Dec. 2024. The shooting was caught on surveillance video and became a cause célèbre for far-left critics of capitalism.
Essayli said Abdulkarim was charged with “arson of a building used in interstate and foreign commerce and used in activities affecting interstate and foreign commerce.” If convicted, Abdulkarim faces a statutory maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison.
He included the video that Abdulkarim allegedly recorded of himself lighting the fires.
There were no injuries from the fire.
One worker at the warehouse said he did not suspect Abdulkarim at all and believed the robots were to blame for the fire.
“There was no suspicion that it was him; actually he was missing. So everyone was trying to find him,” Alex Montero of San Bernardino said to KABC-TV. “Everyone was blaming the robots at first. We were almost 100% sure it was the robots until the action in the video, of course.”
“We will not tolerate political activists who resort to violence to advance their ideology,” Essayli added.

The Trump-Vance dynamic is the key to solving the Iran problem
The recent announcement of a two-week ceasefire with Iran has been met with a striking rhetorical divergence within the American executive.
President Trump has been quick to frame the pause as a moment of total capitulation. Yet thousands of miles away in Budapest, Vice President JD Vance has offered a far more somber assessment.
In the world of power politics, the most effective strategy is often the one that keeps the adversary off balance.
Describing the agreement as a “fragile truce,” Vance warned that the deal is being misrepresented by hard-liners in Tehran who are “lying about even the fragile truce that we’ve already struck.” This is not merely a case of a disorganized administration; it is the emergence of JD Vance as the necessary realist anchor in a high-stakes diplomatic gamble.
For years, the critique of American foreign policy has been its lack of internal coherence. But the Trump-Vance dynamic represents a different model. It is a form of strategic skepticism that allows the administration to pursue diplomacy without appearing naive.
In this arrangement, Vance has taken on the role of the “adult in the Situation Room,” providing a counterweight to the president’s natural inclination for the grand, celebratory deal.
The necessity of Vance’s skepticism becomes clear when one examines the Iranian response to the ceasefire. While the president speaks of a “workable basis” for peace, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has been careful to frame the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz not as a surrender, but as a regulated passage under continued Iranian coordination.
Araghchi’s insistence that “the era of Western dictation is over” suggests that Tehran views this two-week window as a tactical regrouping. By publicly doubting the “good faith” of the adversary, Vance provides the administration with the political space to explore a deal while maintaining the credible threat of escalation.
RELATED: I saw the sky light up over Dubai. The real shock came next.

This reflects a profound evolution in Vance’s own political identity. No longer just the populist firebrand, he is now operating as a sophisticated practitioner of realpolitik.
He understands that in the Middle East, a pause in hostilities is often just a prelude to a more complex form of conflict. When Vance remarks that the President is “not one to mess around,” he is not just praising his superior; he is signaling to the IRGC that the vice president’s office is keeping a meticulous tally of every violation, no matter how small.
The VP’s role also serves a vital domestic function. Within the coalition that brought this administration to power, there is a deep-seated wariness of international agreements that appear to favor adversaries.
By acting as the voice of caution, Vance ensures that the administration’s base remains invested in the process. He represents the wing of the movement that measures success not in the number of summits held, but in the tangible dismantling of enemy capabilities.
Furthermore, this messaging dichotomy allows the United States to navigate the complex mediation role being played by Pakistan. As Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Field Marshal Asim Munir attempt to broker a long-term settlement in Islamabad, the dual-track messaging from Washington provides them with leverage.
They can present Trump as the willing peacemaker while pointing to Vance as the embodiment of an impatient American security apparatus that is ready to strike if the talks stall. It is a division of labor that clarifies the stakes of failure for all parties involved.
RELATED: The only Iran plan that doesn’t end with a 20-year hangover

The question is whether this strategy can be sustained. Diplomacy requires a degree of shared understanding of the rules. If the vice president is perceived as being fundamentally at odds with the President, Tehran may attempt to drive a wedge between them.
Yet, in the hyper-volatile environment of 2026, the traditional rules of diplomacy seem increasingly inadequate. The old model of a unified, singular voice has often led to a form of groupthink that fails to account for the duplicity of actors like the Iranian regime.
As we move toward the Islamabad talks, the value of Vance’s skepticism will be tested. If a more durable agreement is reached, it will be because the Iranians understood that they were not just negotiating with a president eager for a legacy, but with a vice president who was looking for an excuse to walk away.
In the world of power politics, the most effective strategy is often the one that keeps the adversary off-balance.
By playing the skeptic, JD Vance is not undermining peace; he is ensuring that any peace achieved is built on something more substantial than hope. The “fragile” nature of the truce, as Vance describes it, is actually its greatest strength.
It forces a level of honesty and verification that decades of polite, unified diplomacy never could. For the American interest, having a vice president who refuses to see the world through rose-colored glasses is not a liability. It is a strategic necessity. The center of the diplomatic world may have shifted to Islamabad, but the reality check remains firmly anchored in the vice president’s office.

QUACK MEDICINE: Feds have insurance code for ‘struck by a duck,’ but not for gender detransition
Medical insurance claims in the United States are built around the federal government’s standardized system of diagnostic codes, designed to classify every conceivable injury and condition.
Yet among its more than 70,000 designations, there is no dedicated classification for a growing class of patients: regretful recipients of transgender “health care.”
Patients requiring hormone replacement following gonad removal … may face barriers to coverage without clearer diagnostic pathways.
The omission is all the more glaring when you consider some of the system’s more unusual distinctions.
Duck and cover
“There’s a code for a spacecraft collision injuring the occupant, getting … struck by a duck” as well as “walking into a lamppost,” said Dr. Kurt Miceli in a recent interview with Align. “But nothing for those who are trying to revert a gender transition.”
“So effectively, if you are someone who has been harmed by the medical system and you are trying to get medical care, there’s really no diagnosis,” he continued.
Miceli’s work centers on helping children through Stop the Harm, an organization that tracks gender-related medical interventions among minors. According to its database, more than 5,700 surgical procedures were performed on minors in the United States between 2019 and 2023.
California accounted for an estimated 1,359 of those cases, while Massachusetts reported approximately 300.
Miceli said he wants to “give a voice” to detransitioners by creating at least “some visibility” within the existing system of more than 70,000 codes. Such recognition, he argued, would signal that “this is a condition that we must direct resources to, we must appropriately treat, [and] we must build guidelines to help support.”
RELATED: ‘Truly a fool’s errand’: Top CDC adviser, RFK Jr. ally resigns from vaccine panel

Cease and desistance
Beyond recognition, Miceli said the absence of a dedicated classification complicates care. Without it, patients may face challenges navigating billing systems, obtaining reimbursement, or receiving coordinated follow-up treatment.
He added that there is room for multiple distinctions — separating medical complications, social transition, and surgical outcomes, for example.
One step in that direction may come as soon as October 2026, when an update to the ICD-10-CM is expected to include a new designation: “Gender Identity Disorder, in Remission.”
The term, petitioned by Miceli, is defined as the resolution of “clinical symptoms associated with gender dysphoria, where the cognitive experience of incongruence between experienced/expressed gender and natal sex has remitted, leading to alignment of experienced/expressed gender and natal sex.”
Miceli said he hopes future updates will go further, including classifications that explicitly recognize “desistance.”

In a bind
At the same time, he argued that legislative action may be necessary to ensure patients receive appropriate care and to “correct the harms that have been done to them.”
For example, patients requiring hormone replacement following gonad removal — or medical care after practices such as breast binding or genital tucking — may face barriers to coverage without clearer diagnostic pathways.
More comprehensive coding, he added, would also improve research and communication across the medical system.
“It’ll allow our physicians, our medical community to place that code onto the chart. We can get a better understanding of what’s going on,” Miceli said. “We can look at that code in association with other potential complications and, again, collect much more accurate real-world data.”

‘Jamika and Her Giant Peach’: Dave Landau’s Jennifer Newsom roast will have you cackling
An old clip of Jennifer Siebel Newsom, Gavin Newsom’s wife, has resurfaced and is going viral.
In the video, Newsom shares some parenting tips to help create an inclusive environment for kids.
When Stu Burguiere and Dave Landau saw it, they came away with one conclusion: Jennifer Newsom is “even worse” than her radical husband.
On this episode of “Stu and Dave Do America,” the duo engage in hilarious banter about the “first partner of California” (a title Newsom herself coined to be gender-inclusive).
In the resurfaced clip, Newsom says, “I’ve given our boys dolls — even if they tear the head off … to learn that care and caregiving is not just an activity that’s reserved for women, but that it’s also an activity that is a responsibility of men.”
“What I’ve done with both my daughters and my sons is if I’m reading a book and the protagonist is a male, I just change the ‘he’ to a ‘she.’ … I want them to see that women can be the center of a story, that women matter, that women are interesting,” she added.
Newsom then celebrated that we’re in a period of history where we can “deconstruct all these gender roles” and “limiting narratives.”
Stu calls her the “prototypical feminist left-wing nut job.”
Dave is more savage in his response. “How are you going to do well in school when you’re just making up stuff? Like, what are they going to do, book reports on ‘Jamika and Her Giant Peach’? ‘If You Give a Hoe a Cookie’? … ‘Christy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’?” he gibes.
“I don’t think being gay is a choice, but she makes me feel like being gay is not only a choice, but it’s your parents’ choice,” he laughs.
Stu points out the flawed logic in Newsom’s parenting tactics: “You’re not only playing the gender games with your kids there; you’re actually misleading them about the book you’re reading.”
“She reminds me of the wife of every super popular jock that met his wife in high school. And you just go, like, “Oh god, you’re just here to serve a purpose,” Dave says.
“They want to sound interesting, but you just know she has a sign that says, ‘It’s wine o’clock somewhere’ in her kitchen. She’s just that woman,” he jeers, speculating that Newsom is “on wine or Xanax or both.”
