The Washington Post Breaking News Post Exclusive 27 minutes ago Justice Department targets Cuban officials, aims for indictments The effort to bring charges against Cuban officials coincides with President Donald Trump saying that his administration is eyeing Cuba as the next country whose government might be overthrown, following the capture of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro in early January and the killing of Iran's supreme leader on Saturday.

A regime that values domestic and international violence above the rule of law is unsustainable.

Next week's cover of The New Yorker. "War-a-Lago" by Barry Blitt.

The New Yorker Kristi Noem will be remembered as the most incompetent Secretary in the 23-year history of the D.H.S. now

I don’t think the incompetence actually is going to be what Kristi Noem is remembered for.

It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.

My last email to my Senators said exactly that. No matter what the Republicans believe, I think a moral compass points to one's integrity.

Since their compasses appear to have been broken, I am questioning the integrity of their integrity, or even its existence.

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.

Agree - I’ve noticed they’re back out on the road after Elon left the govt 😡😤😩

“War-a-Lago”

By Barry Blitt @newyorker.com

Economists expected +55,000 jobs. Trump delivered -92,000. That’s not underperforming, that’s a 147,000-job face plant. He promised to be the greatest jobs president ever. Instead he’s torching the economy ＆ calling it winning. We’re not winning. #TrumpsJobsSlump​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

So let’s see if I have this right? Trump / Netanyahu starts a war with Iran knowing it’ll affect oil mkt. Russia helping Iran fight. Trump lifts sanctions allows Russian & Venezuela oil? Trump rewards Russia ⬆️ oil prices & lifts sanctions so they can help Iran and continue fight Ukraine?

PUPDATE: Clyde says #ImpeachThemAll

Hungary Seizes Ukrainian Bank Staff, $80 Million in Cash and Gold The move follows a dispute over oil deliveries and prompted Kyiv to accuse Hungary of hostage-taking.

By kidnapping bank employees and seizing a shipment of gold and cash, Viktor Orbán has resorted to acts of piracy against another European nation. www.wsj.com/world/europe...

Seems like a good way for Republicans to combat all the unemployment they’ve caused. 🤷‍♂️

Chaos is the only thing he does.

How Will the War in Iran Affect Your Utility Bills? - Inside Climate News Conflict in the Middle East could have major repercussions for U.S. electricity and natural gas prices. Some states, like Pennsylvania, are particularly vulnerable.

Energy experts warn that the impacts from the war in Iran on natural-gas prices could rival the crisis caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

Today’s episode of “Not The Onion.”

Trump's sure continued & expanding war will make him richer by raising the price of oil he pilfered & is keeping in Qatar & raising the price of Chevron stocks & oil Trump inc bought. War, war crimes & dead Americans for stock manipulation. NY AG, Letitia James can charge for Securities Fraud

A judge ordered the release of a man with lawful permanent resident status — who twice won bond before an immigration court — but has remained detained for 200 days because of the Trump administration's use of a (previously) little used "automatic stay." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Israel is demolishing Lebanon

Starting to think the Iran stuff was actually purposefully a distraction for this because they know how brutally unpopular Gaza has been, Because the news is covered up in Iran but there is zero coverage of this. It’s so fucking bad yall it’s Gaza 2.

What part of Russia & Iran being allies did no one understand? Now add in NKorea being an ally of Iran…
Can you say stupefied egos?

Evangelicals love Donald Trump for many reasons, but one of them is especially terrifying End Times.

“If it brings the end of the world, it brings the end of the world. They’re ready. They can’t wait for the Rapture to happen."

If you want to understand the nuances of Trump's self-created crisis in Iran, revisit @smencimer.bsky.social's deep-dive into our End Times president.

One thing we should be taking away from the fascist crisis is that careful research on the real world is extremely fucking important. Bare minimum that work needs to be funded & expanded for us to have the information & tools necessary to cast off this regime & create a livable world from its ashes.

Yes.

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.

The costs of supporting Israel’s war on Iran:

- Dead American soldiers
- Dead elementary schoolgirls
- Over $1 Billion/day for combat ops
- Soaring gas prices
- Tanking markets
- Betrayed GCC allies
- Another constitutional crisis

…and growing.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.
