Trump’s Iran War is not going to be ending anytime soon. And calling for a country to surrender unconditionally means it is unarguably a war that requires a declaration of war.

Here's the point to remember about the brutal negative revisions in today's job market report: They aren't saying the labor market showed green shoots that withered. It's saying that there never were any green shoots. They were an illusion.

Honestly, I am kind of wondering if today is the day that the markets start to actually freak out. Oil at 90 and climbing, jobs report just crashed through the floor and dear leader thinks it's all going swimmingly well

Prior to the new Gulf War, our economy was slowing, inflation rising, our fiscal condition deteriorating.

Now we are going to prices rise further, the economy slow further, our fiscal condition worsen. All of this makes what Trump is doing in the Middle East look far more reckless.

Seems pretty clear at this point that if Dems get to 51 seats in November, Fetterman will pull an Arlen Spector move and flip parties.

Trump has no plan. This is a damning summary from The Economist’s Middle East Correspondent Gregg Carlstrom.

Mandi Jung, a MN teacher, needs to be heard far and wide. Her message about the treatment of the immigrants living in MN is so powerful. Take a moment to listen to her. We need to bring this energy everywhere.

This war is less popular than every single one of Trump’s other unpopular policies. Which is amazing.

The entire Democratic strategy debate β€” "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? β€” is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

There are two explanations for the Trump Admin’s Russia’s policy: 1. This admin is secretly aligned with Putin and lying about that to the world and the American people, or 2. they are incredibly naive fools who ignore overwhelming evidence that contradicts their worldview.

Mamdani has so much game, my goodness.

Went to the White House with mock-up s of the New York Daily News of Trump, and came home with a rescued ICE hostage from Columbia University.

Straight baller

If this proves true (i.e., Agheyeva is immediately released), there's an argument to be made that Mamdani somehow has β€” at least for now β€”Β one of…the most productive relationships with Trump of any state or local leader in the country, Democrat or Republican?

Yep. The absurdity of media's slobbering over Trump's "stand up" stunt is that many people view *ICE* as posing more of a threat than immigrants do.

Exactly. And the corporate media trying desperately to generate a "win" for Trump over the immigrants part of his speech are nothing more than state media at this point.
