He said he was going to Dover Air base tomorrow with Melania and his cabinet to attend the return of the six US troops killed in the Iran war. So he couldn’t stay in town for the night?
Because it has to be said plainly and repeatedly: the US president (and the press sec earlier today) are defending the head of an enemy nation attacking US forces because the US president is more loyal to the former than the latter.
Oh.
“We have agreed” — how nice of them! Surely they’re doing this work pro bono right?
I am frankly more concerned about the apathy of the American public and even more importantly the lack of leadership in the Democratic Party.
This is not a dress rehearsal. Every single American must speak out against this Facist administration.
Inspectors General must be independent & nonpartisan. Reports say DOL IG Anthony D’Esposito plans to run for Congress. I asked if he’s running or doing campaign activity while serving as IG. He refused to answer. That is concerning given reports he put his mistress and fiancee’s daughter on payroll.
He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.
So let me get this straight ...
1. US bombs Iran
2. Oil price goes up a bit, benefitting Russia's petrostate
3. Russia gives Iran targeting info
4. Oil price shoots WAY up
5. US unsanctions Russian oil
So Iran now has, perhaps for the first time, information about the location of our most sensitive covert sites in the region.
A completely foreseeable, unnecessary consequence of unnecessary war with Iran.
Are all the people in this admin insane? They’re drunk with what they perceive as their ‘omnipotent power’, they’ve lost all sense of reality for any and all ramifications of their actions that will reverberate disastrously for the American people and around the world for years to come.
A federal judge has been asked to block Trump from closing and razing the Kennedy Center. "This is a case about the ongoing desecration and impending destruction of a cherished
national monument," the lawsuit says. f9c23fd5-1644-4a5f-a561-d04e6b5736d6.usrfiles.com/ugd/f9c23f_b...
Maybe it's me, but I really thought destroying a children's school and killing 160 innocent schoolgirls would have been a big story that dominated the headlines, instead it barely lasted a single news cycle and by the end of the weekend it will be old news. Sounds likes yet another school shooting.
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:

This is going to hit American pocketbooks hard.
The hubris of this man and his belief in his omnipotence as dictator of the entire world, fear will not end well for the American people
With Qatar raising the prospect of $150 crude, our @pippastevens.cnbc.com says that would -- theoretically -- put retail gasoline somewhere in the $5.50 range.

Exactly this. Are we great again? This is the new ‘Golden Age‘ of America? The reality is far from that. This is what happens when you put in place one of the most, if not the most, incompetent and corrupt administration this country has ever had

WSJ: US is preparing to ask China to reduce its oil imports from Russia and Iran and instead buy more American oil and gas as part of broader negotiations ahead of an upcoming Trump-Xi summit.
Context: Political theater: in media - US will be tough on Kremlin, in reality - US eases sanctions on RU.
Under President Joe Biden the American economy never lost jobs.
92,000 jobs were lost just last month under Donald Trump's administration, the fourth time in just the last eight months.
NEW: Federal judges have spent months ordering ICE to give detainees a chance for release in bond hearings.
Now, they're worried that the bond hearings themselves — conducted by Executive Branch immigration judges — are a farce.

Trump’s War now providing a massive influx of cash for Iran’s ally Russia so they can continue to bomb civilians in Ukraine while we ask Ukraine for help against Iranian drones. Trump’s foreign policy in a nutshell.
A budget is a moral document.
“.. National average gasoline price is now up by 10.8% over the past 4 days ... the only other time we've seen a larger increase was in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.”

So it now appears based on many media reports that we bombed a girls elementary school and killed 175 people, and right after that Hegseth was beating his chest in a press conference saying we weren’t going to worry about “stupid rules of engagement” anymore.
If you vote for the new $50 billion supplemental appropriations package, you are voting to force us to pay for more of this.
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.
