Thanks for the informative take. I followed you on Bluesky after reading a repost on another social media site. Canโ€™t follow real time news anymore due to stress response so analysis pieces like this help with catching up!

Operation Midnight Hammer: The $6 Billion Empty Hole As Trumpโ€™s cartoonish Iran strike unravels, America stumbles from world leader to Netanyahuโ€™s punch-drunk bouncer, while Xi Jinping waits for his next desperate phone call.

Trumpโ€™s โ€œbrilliantโ€ #Iran strike is already falling apart. $6 billion in bombs dropped, stockpiles quietly moved, and now Trump is begging Xi to keep the oil flowing. The U.S. isnโ€™t leading, itโ€™s doing #Netanyahuโ€™s muscle work. New piece up. #kakistocracy

The head of our countryโ€™s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

The economy is crashing. Americans are watching their 401Ks turn into 201Ks. Grocery prices are through the roof. And whatโ€™s Donald Trump doing? Golfing.

Mr. President, get your ass off the golf course and face the people! #Handsoff

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader.

We canโ€™t hold hearings. We donโ€™t have subpoena power. We canโ€™t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

We will not be distracted.
We will not be discouraged.
Weโ€™ve got our eyes on the prize.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

The time to organize is now.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. Itโ€™s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

I met with General Carignan today, Chief of Defence Staff, about the hard work ahead to make Canada secure.

Together as Canadians, weโ€™re going to meet our 2% NATO spending target by 2030, modernize NORAD, strengthen our Arctic presence, and ensure we build a strong, resilient Canada.

There's an incredible Congressional tone deafness to the moment that we're in. We've got agencies being dismantled by an unelected billionaire and a guy named Big Balls. Meanwhile, Congress is raking leaves as a forest fire roars behind us.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed.

Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly.

Yet another reason he must be rejected.
