Former Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan is now facing a Florida Bar investigation after her brief stint signing indictments as U.S. attorneyβ€”despite a judge ruling she never lawfully held the job.

That’s not usually how the position works.

Let’s talk about the β€˜light casualties’ with their family members in the room, you insensitive POS.
We all know that there’ll always be casualties, but let’s not be so flippant when discussing them. ESPECIALLY when they can’t even explain why we’re in this fucking war in the first place πŸ–•πŸ½

If there were credible allegations against a Democratic president that he had punched a 13 yr old girl in the face after she bit his penis while he was raping her, Fox would be running that shit on a loop 24/7 and calling for his arrest/execution let alone his impeachment.

At this point I think Trump could launch a nuclear weapon and the Republicans and Fetterman would still support him.

When is enough going to be enough? Stop the demented man in the White House NOW

I propose a new law:

Anyone who expresses support for an offensive war shall immediately be drafted to fight in it. No exceptions and no exemptions for any reason, including disability or service as a government official in any office. Presidents and congressmen shall fight in any war they start.

A new Senate report alleges that over 1,000 FEMA contracts, grants, or disaster assistance awards were delayed under Kristi Noem's watch.

Why?

Because she demanded to sign off on expenses over $100,000 β€” which delayed aid to victims of floods and hurricanes.

"Efficiency."

Screenshot of an X post by Acyn quoting Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez saying Trump impulsively acted in Venezuela and Iran, causing global instability, and suggesting spikes in instability coincide with revelations about the Epstein files.

Continuation of the same post showing Ocasio-Cortez arguing that if the Epstein files influence Trump’s decisions enough to risk global conflict to protect himself politically, it means he cannot make objective decisions for the American people. The image shows Ocasio-Cortez speaking on a walkway outside a building.

Now look into road construction money pouring into SD. I drove through on the interstate last summer and there was project after project, like every 10-20 miles. It all stopped at the MN border. Strange, right?

Was AI used for the targeting that likely resulted in the bombing of the girls school?

We must have answers to that question and there is ZERO reason for delay because the Pentagon damn well already knows the answer.

The Justice Department just posted online three FBI interviews that had been missing from the massive trove of Epstein files initially released.

They're related to unsubstantiated sexual assault allegations against Donald Trump.

Watching how Ratpublicans voted down a measure to limit Trump’s power to continue waging war against Iran is a telling example of countries, peoples and societies blindly march into their own destruction. Party loyalty instead of rational thinking is terrible and stupid.

How We Actually Pay for War and Billionaire Tax Cuts
How We Actually Pay for War and Billionaire Tax Cuts Trump is launching us into what could be another costly and deadly forever war.Meanwhile, he and Republicans are making

At more than $5 billion and counting, the cost of Operation Epic Fury so far could cover SNAP benefits for more than 2 million Americans.

But instead of feeding hungry people at home, we're cutting food stamps in order to lower taxes for the rich and boost military spending to record levels.

Trump wants to distract from the failing economy, ICE murders, and his corruption scandals

Netanyahu wants to distract from the Gaza genocide, West Bank settler attacks, and his own corruption scandals.

Both are using the same playbook: wage war to blot out everything else.

So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.

That's roughly $1 billion per day.

$41,666,667 per hour.

$11,574 per second.

People do not want this.

They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
