Horrible. Shame on the USA.
"Wow. A big drop" -- CNBC highlights that labor force participation is now the lowest it has been since in late 2021, before the covid vaccine was widely available
BREAKING: Trump was just asked if Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home: βI guessβ¦ Like I said, some people will die.β
What the fuck is wrong with America. That his approval is anywhere near 40 is madness. He should be closer to 20.
Fuck sake the dems and others are not making the case that he is STEALING democracy from under their noses. In plain sight.
Something must be done.

It looks as though EU countries are becoming more involved in this war.
The US has suspended operations at their Kuwait embassy so American citizens there are on their own. Not that Donald Trump will care, alive or dead, Americans mean nothing to him unless he can profit from them.

It looks like the US will be running out of missiles soon. This is why I keep seeing scores of Boeing Globemasters being flown toward the ME, but none of them being used to rescue US citizens. Poor planning. Almost like Trumpy does everything on a whim?
I know someone who lives in Iran, and he said that only 1 in 100,000 people have access to the internet (not sure if that's an exaggeration or not) and that it's extremely slow. Livestreaming, unless it's something like Al Jazeera, probably isn't possible.
I've been looking at the flight radar. For anyone stuck in the Middle East, your best best is a flight out of Saudi Arabia, followed by Oman and the UAE. Qatar, Bahrain, and Kuwait don't have any passenger flights at this time. If you are in one of those countries, take an overland route to get out.
WTF

Some good local news out of Austin.
The United States flew a spy plane over Iceland, Greenland, and Canada today. Trump's objectives, seemingly, have not changed despite his war in Iran.

I don't know what's more alarming; that the prediction went up to 24% before it was pulled or that there is evidence of insider trading.
I need to remind people. The midterms have never been so important.
Don't let people use scare tactics or make you think it won't happen.
also if voting didn't matter gerrymandering wouldn't exist.
Itβs not just that the Administration isnβt answering questions about Iran.
Theyβre lying.

This fills me with rage. A fellow Austinite, Texan, American, human, is stranded and can't come home and you don't have the decency to be polite?
AOC: We already have multiple American service members who are dead for an illegal action that the president has pursued with no plan out. They donβt know why they got into this war. Theyβre talking about a hundred different reasons, and they donβt know how theyβre getting out.
