The 1973 oil embargo was seismic event that sent shocks through the US economic, political, and social infrastructure.

It contributed to the demise of the domestic auto industry, the beginning of the homelessness epidemic, and the rise of neoliberalism.

This could be bigger.

Trump is burning through taxpayer dollars on wars just like he burned through his father’s money in the 80s.

Y’all it is really important you know that Tucker Carlson really believes that he has fought a literal demon.

He’s also rich as shit and has never once apologized or made amends for anything he did supporting the Patriot Act, Iraq, torture, with us or against us stuff in the 2000s.

Missourians on probation and parole can’t vote. Their rights might be restored The House has approved legislation that would allow the more than 53,000 people supervised by the state to vote.

Wow, a huge bipartisan coalition passed a bill in the Missouri House to allow anyone who is not presently incarcerated to vote.

More than half the states allow this, but Democrats have led this in the last decade. Haven't seen a GOP-led chamber pass this in that time. Big deal.

What Does Russia Have on Trump? Americans Deserve an Answer As Russia reportedly shares intelligence with Iran that could endanger American forces, the White House chooses to ease pressure on Moscow instead of confronting it.

Ukraine offers to help defend the West from Iranian drones.

Russia helps Iran track American forces.

And the White House eases sanctions on Russian oil.

Explain that to the families of U.S. troops. My latest:

Trump fires Homeland Security Secretary Noem after mounting criticism over her leadership Trump says he’ll nominate Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace her.

The AP says Republicans knew Noem was on her way out and told Democrats that her exit was a concession in negotiations to reopen the DHS. Dems said nah. She’s your problem. They were right. DHS is still shut.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy.

We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

05.03.2026 20:45 👍 2081 🔁 785 💬 36 📌 25

This is exactly right.

Age verification / online ID check legislation literally forces companies to collect MORE data on children (and everyone else) not less.

We desperately need privacy, antitrust, and algorithmic justice legislation.

Not censorship bills like KOSA and expanded surveillance.

Billionaires & corporations must be stopped from secretly buying our elections.
Dark money front groups must be required to disclose their donors.
And foreign money should have no place in our elections.

The DISCLOSE Act helps reform a broken system and ensure government of, by, and for the people.

As Viktor Orbán heads into the toughest election of his 16-year rule, MAGA heavyweights have moved to bolster the man they regard as their most dependable ideological ally in Europe.

Holy fucking shit. 'If Trump says we won then we won' is even further down the hole than the Orwell quote people always dig up about eyes and ears. He attacked Iran so he could win another fake award. That's it. That's the whole thing. That's wild

With every new development in this story I am even more gobsmacked that Epstein and his co-conspirators escaped accountability over and over and over again. There's more to come from my investigation. Stay tuned.

The Trump DOJ FINALLY releases missing files directly alleging sexual abuse of a minor by Trump that DOJ claims were “offline” but then suddenly came online after Pamela Jo was subpoenaed by House Oversight.

I review the allegations, including specific details about Trump.

The Trump regime is still hiding Epstein records detailing an allegation that Trump sexually assaulted a girl who was age 13-15. We know these records existed at some point. The law requires their release.

MAGA is truly a degenerate movement. Not only do they dodge the constitution & condone CSA, they treat each other like absolute garbage. It’s the only mitigating factor in their reign of terror.

He’s actually pretty evil, too. He’s profoundly ignorant, but he’s a special kind of stupid. Head trauma plus the inborn stupid plus a heavy dose of overcompensation for how short he actually is.

(Check out the Marco Rubio block he stands in when he speaks)

Such a moving and fitting tribute to Doc.

“Doc carried history in his bones. He had lived through brutality and transformation, through moments that reshaped the course of a nation. And yet what I remember most about him is not just the history, it’s the spirit.

His joy.
His stories.
His hope.”

Trump said the US is doing very well militarily, better than anyone could have dreamed. He said he rebuilt the military in his first term and is using it in his second. The so-called “Peace President” has also suggested the US could force regime change in Cuba.
