🎯🎯
January 6 terrorists are committing 100x more criminal offenses than immigrants yet immigrants and their families are being kidnapped, assaulted, detained and deported whilst January 6 terrorists are being compensated.
Weird chart. What happened in 2025 in the US? Did political leadership change and then start systematically dismantling education, science, health care, and government, levying arbitrary tariffs, randomly attacking major US cities, and destroying the economy?
Just asking.
🗞️The state of Trump’s disastrous presidency on one front page this morning.
He has done nothing but bring misery to the United States and the entire world.
Sun and wind don’t need the Strait of Hormuz.
A brown penguin chick of some kind. It looks very much like a man in a suit. It is bedraggled and miserable
Made it to Friday but at what cost
White House touts Markwayne Mullin's impeccable qualifications for the cabinet, citing his experience being bad at his previous jobs.
It’s almost like we didn’t think this through.
The Middle East conflict is stress testing global energy. Bloomberg sees oil at $108 in a severe escalation.
We have seen this before. The difference now is that solar and batteries are more cost competitive. Every fossil fuel spike strengthens the case for renewables on energy security alone.
New files released detail a woman met with the FBI at least four times to allege she had survived being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump when she was a child.
Nothing happened.
🚨 BREAKING: A Spanish lawmaker Manuela Bergerot publicly calls out the U.S. and Israel over attacks killing Iranian children:
"You can't be defending the rights of women by killing and celebrating deaths of 160 girls. I oppose Trump and Netanyahu"

Kanwal Sibal @KanwalSibal • 6h X The Iranian ship will not be where it was if we had not invited it to talk part in our Milan exercise. We were the hosts. I am told that as per protocol for this exercise ships cannot carry any ammunition. It was defenceless. The Iranian naval personnel had paraded before our president. The attack by the US submarine was premeditated as the US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute, presumably with this operation in mind. The US has ignored India's sensitivities as the ship was in these waters because of India's invitation. We are far from politically or militarily responsible for the US attack. Our"responsibility" is at a moral and human plane. A word of condolence by the Indian Navy ( after political clearance) at the loss of lives of those who were our invitees and saluted our president would be in order.
Some context to the Iranian boat that was targeted by US off Sri Lanka coast
Former Indian FM: “US was aware of the Iranian ship's presence in the exercise to which the US navy was invited but withdrew from participation at the last minute”
The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. They’re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.
Aww 🥰 #WildlifeWednesday Surprise
Sadly, thinking is not something readily available with this administration.
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole Amor was just days away from returning home to her husband and two children when a drone strike in Kuwait killed her and five others.
They call the Department of Defense the Department of War, but then say their war isn’t a war because it’s preemptively defensive.
Shout out to Boston
For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20
This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.
I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.
Info in 🧵
WELCH: Mr. Yoho is also the husband of your former spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin?
NOEM: Yes
WELCH: So your former assistant and her husband are the ones that got the DHS no bid contract for $143m. Any dispute about that?
NOEM: No.
I don't know why this has done it this morning, but:
The claim from MAGA reps that we have been "at war with Iran for 47 years" when a huge swath of Reagan's administration was convicted at trial or pled guilty to selling arms to Iran THROUGH ISRAEL for six years in the 80s is 🤯.
Marc Elias: "Today was an important day for the opposition movement. The law firms that stood up against Donald Trump threats won. Those that capitulated and collaborated with Trump will need to explain to future generations why, when democracy was at stake, they were such cowards"
This is actually a pretty good summary of where we’re at, and how we got here.
I’m sorry, who?
The president of the United States killed children to distract from raping children.
