Today in Politics, Bulletin 346. 4/10/26

  MISSED THIS POST LAST NIGHT....SSUBSCRIBE TO RECEIVE TIMELY POSTS... Today in Politics, Bulletin 346. 4/10/26 Ron Filipkowski Apr 10 ∙ … Trump has reportedly offered mass pardons before leaving office to everyone who worked for him in the WH. WSJ broke the story that Trump has repeatedly dangled this to staffers so they will conduct themselves with no concerns about being prosecuted in the future for illegal conduct. … Trump initially broached the subject by stating to staff: “I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval.” They responded by laughing, but it’s not clear that Trump intends this as merely a joke. He isn’t exactly known for his sense of humor. … WSJ: “That radius appears to be expanding as the president repeats the line. Another person who met with Trump earlier this year said the president quipped about pardoning anyone who had come within 10 feet. In one conversation with advisers in the dining room next to the Oval Office last year, Trump said he ...

  Families need Congress to get their priorities straight! SIGN NOW What in the world is happening right now?? We’re continuing doing the normal things—packing lunches, coordinating schedules, scheduling appointments, sitting through meetings—but being a mom in America feels surreal right now.  In the last week alone, Trump has threatened to annihilate a  “whole civilization” —which of course, would be a war crime. [1] He then said the quiet part out loud: Our health care and child care are his piggy bank for his reckless wars and ongoing cruelty and human rights abuses against immigrant families. He basically shrugged and told us,  "We can’t take care of day care…. We’re fighting wars."  [2]  Tell Republican Leaders in Congress: Families need you to get your priorities straight! No cuts to health care and child care to pay for wars and human rights abuses! It’s not just Trump’s words that are causing issues. Now, Trump’s putting pen to paper to turn these ...

CC Newsletter 11 April- Ceasefire on Edge: Distrust Shadows High-Stakes US–Iran Talks

  BECAUSE OF THE GLOBAL SIGNIFICANCE, COUNTERCURRENTS NEWSLETTER  IS POSTED IN ITS ENTIRETY! Dear Friend, US Vice President J D Vance’s arrival in Islamabad signals a rare, high-level push to stabilise a fragile ceasefire between Washington and Tehran. Yet even before talks begin, deep mistrust threatens to unravel the process. Conflicting interpretations of a 10-point Iranian proposal and disputes over Israel’s ongoing offensive in Lebanon expose fault lines beneath the truce. As energy routes through the Strait of Hormuz remain disrupted, global stakes continue to rise. With both sides hardening positions, the question looms: can diplomacy prevail, or is this ceasefire already on the brink of collapse? We are on a fundraising drive.

 SHARED FOR INFORMATION AND EDUCATION ABOUT ICE GESTAPO  CONCENTRATION CAMPS THAT ARE WAREHOUSING PEOPLE! Friend, Stacy Bradley voted for the President because she wanted "law and order." Now, she is looking at the industrial warehouse right next door to her cheerleading gym in Surprise, Arizona—where 3-year-olds train—and realizing the administration is planning to lock up thousands of human beings in shackles right next to them. The reality of this administration's mass deportation agenda is no longer just something the right can label as fear-mongering. It is a  $38 billion industrial-scale internment operation , and they are building it right in our backyards. The Save America Movement is deploying to the front lines to expose ICE’s newest concentration camps in Georgia and Arizona. But we cannot do it without immediate funding. Will you help us raise $25,000 to make this happen? According to internal DHS documents, the government is quietly buying up enormous warehou...
