This is not the best part of the firing, but it’s in the Top 10.

“Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.”

That’s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He won’t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will — and that’s a sacrifice he’s willing to make.

Basically all of the bad economic news this term is because the president deliberately decided to do something moronic. He is much more personally responsible for this than most presidents are for the downturns in their administration.

DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.

He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.

The grift continues.

Before Iran dominated the news cycle, the story was:

✅Trump still owes Americans up to $175 BILLION for his illegal tariffs.
✅Epstein files haven’t gone away.
✅Billionaires are still getting richer off his policies.
✅Election interference growing

Funny how quickly the conversation shifted.

Massie on Newsmax: "We're not getting the answers we need from Pam Bondi. I just spent 3 hours at the DOJ this week looking at the unredacted files. And I'm finding evidence of files they haven't released yet." (Note that the Newsmax anchor agrees with him!)

There has not been a more complicit Congress in the history of the U.S. Every GOP member is now a criminal for not upholding their oaths to The Constitution.

A small group of Democratic lawmakers have just proposed legislation to bar members of Congress from profiting off prediction markets, citing elected officials' possession of "material nonpublic information."

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.

On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.

Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.

We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.

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.

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.

I was 10, and saved money from babysitting and mowing neighbors' yards so I could buy my first vinyl. I have no regrets.

This is a marvelous change not only for the Humpback whale 🐋 population but for all of us. We need to keep our gentle giants from going extinct.
