Apparently, Kegseth hasnβt destroyed their ability to drop truth bombs.

Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."
According to Trump, the kids should be grateful they werenβt bombed. Have they even said thank you once?
This is real life.
Markwayne Mullin is the same dude already under scrutiny for suspicious stock trades.
And heβs supposed to run Americaβs national security.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
5/ And on the Strait of Hormuz, they had NO PLAN. I can't go into more detail about how Iran gums up the Strait, but suffice it say, right now, they don't know how to get it safely back open.
Which is unforgiveable, because this part of the disaster was 100% foreseeable.
4/ Ok, so what ARE the goals? It seems, primarily, destroying lots of missiles and boats and drone factories.
But the question that stumped them: what happens when you stop bombing and they restart production?
They hinted at more bombing. Which is, of course, endless war.
3/ Second, they confirmed "regime change" is also NOT on the list. So, they are going to spend hundreds of billions of your taxpayer dollars, get a whole bunch of Americans killed, and a hardline regime - probably a MORE anti-American hardline regime - will still be in charge.
2/ Maybe the lead is that the war goals DO NOT involve destroying Iran's nuclear weapons program. This is, uh...surprising...since Trump says over and over this is a key goal.
But then of course we already know air strikes can't wipe out their nuclear material.
I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public.
I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are.
1/ Here's what I can share:
JUST IN: Democrats flip a seat in the New Hampshire state House.
Dem Bobbi Boudman has won todayβs special election, NHJournal reports.
(Boudman was the Dem nominee in 2024 & lost by 14%; Trump won here by 9%.)
This is Demsβ third legislative flip so far this year, after Texas and Arkansas.
Or maybe - just maybe - people need to feel the effects of who a plurality voted for.
The US-Israeli attack has undermined the Iranian opposition.
"On March 20, 2017, according to a federal court filing, Riveraβs firm got a draft contract with the American subsidiary of Venezuelaβs state-owned energy company: three months of consulting services for $50 million..." Gee, no wonder this guy's called a "scandal magnet."
David Rivera and Rubio bought a house together in Tallahassee when they were coming up together in Florida politics. But heβs been a headache for the secretary of state ever since, and now he could be one for the Trump White House, too. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/m...
Exactly like Trump.
βWeβre not starting a war, weβre ending oneβ was a Russian talking point on Ukraine β four years ago.
Rogan criticized Trump for his decision to go to war with Iran, citing the presidentβs anti-war messaging used in his election campaign.
Whoa. This is big. "The U.S. Navy has refused near-daily requests from the shipping industry for military escorts through the Strait of Hormuz since the start of the war on Iran, saying the risk of attacks is too high for now." www.reuters.com/world/middle...
No no no this can't be right Trump promised the U.S. would do this and oh I see the problem now.
Democrats Launch Probe Into 8-Day-Old Company Behind Kristi Noemβs Ads
The total of $220 million in taxpayer money awarded to make a slate of anti-immigrant ads is likely the straw that broke the camelβs back on Noemβs tenure at the Department of Homeland Security.
54% seems way too low.

I filled my tank on the day before gas went up price $2.779, today itβs $3.299. Thanks to the dipshit president.

Look at these charts. TransUnion and Experian, two of the three major credit bureaus, have started dismissing a larger share of consumer complaints without help. The timing coincides with the Trump administrationβs dismantling of the CFPB. www.propublica.org/article/cred... @joeljacobs.bsky.social
goddamn is this a breath of fresh air after Allred 2024
Sundas βSunnyβ Naqvi, a U.S. citizen from Skokie, spent nearly 30 hours in custody by federal immigration officials after she was detained at OβHare Airport last week. She was later released out of a facility in Wisconsin. Naqvi's sister called the experience "terrifying."
βWe need transparency, we need accountability and we need to make sure that we are incredibly mindful of the steps we must take as a nation to protect all of our civil rights and civil liberties,β said Morrison.
