Congress has a lower approval rating than Hitler in some polls. And we just keep voting for the same 2 parties

The Democrats and Republicans might be even less popular if Americans really understood how they rigged the system.

Trump has no good options in Iran—here are 5 of them ahead of his speech to the nation tonight
By Jim EdwardsApril 1, 2026
MUSCAT, OMAN - MARCH 22: The Albina Bulk carrier sits anchored on March 22, 2026 at Sultan Qaboos Port in Muscat, Oman.President Donald Trump had threatened to attack Iran's energy infrastructure if it did not end its de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by just before midnight GMT of March 23. A subsequent statement from President Trump said the U.S. and Iran had held "very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East," and that he would postpone any attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure for five days. Maritime traffic through the strait, which conveys about 20% of the world's oil and gas, has mostly come to a halt after the joint U.S.-Israeli war with Iran that began on February 28.
