Good morning from Zitoun :)

I just called Senators Fetterman & McCormick & Representative Scott Perry (via US Capitol Switchboard 202-224-3121) to express my opposition to the illegal & escalating war in the Middle East.
I’m not optimistic about what they will do but they’ll know that there are people who oppose the war.

Rep. Mark Alford on spiking gas prices: "I think we all know that when you have a kinetic conflict like this -- whether you want to call it a war or not -- it is going to take a little bit of sacrifice on the part of Americans"

So Rep. Alford, you believe that the American public must get ready to "make a little sacrifice" for the Trump War in Iran. All the polls show that Americans don't WANT & don't support this war. How do you square your statement about US making a sacrifice? BTW, what sacrifice is TRUMP making?

I don’t remember Trump campaigning on Americans needing to make financial sacrifices for foreign wars. bsky.app/profile/atru...

MASSIE: “Iran is not Venezuela. The Ayatollah was not a president. He was a religious leader… 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 turned him into a martyr, expended billions, 6 🇺🇸 families must now lay to rest their sons & daughters. And for what? This administration can't even give us a straight answer.”

AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money laundering… So if you’re asking me if I’d support impeachment, I do

Basically, what the Department of Justice argued in court today was that RFK Jr. has the absolute authority to kill millions of people with impunity.

I do not exaggerate.

RFK Jr has 'unreviewable' authority to reshape vaccine policy, DOJ lawyer tells judge A lawyer for the Trump administration told a judge on Wednesday that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has such broad authority over vaccine policy that he could even ​scrap re...

Judge Murphy: “Is it your position that is totally ​unreviewable? If [RFK Jr.] said instead of getting a shot to prevent measles I think you should get a shot that gives you measles, is that unreviewable?”

Department of Justice: Yes

PETITION: Don't Let the Federal Government Regulate Your Reading Not one country's freedom and liberty has ever been increased by banning books.

The Federal Book Ban bill uses funding threats to pressure schools to remove books.

Federal control over local policy - and federal control of reading, writing, and publishing - is unacceptable.

Sign the petition to stop it. action.everylibrary.org/hr_7661 via @everylibrary.bsky.social

Spanish PM Sánchez on Trump's threat to end trade:

"We are not going to be accomplices to something that is bad for the world and contrary to our values and interests simply because of fear of reprisals... We have absolute confidence in the economic, institutional & moral strength of our country."

Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:

"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."

The United States gave Netanyahu over $24 billion in taxpayer dollars to fund his horrific war in Gaza.

That wasn't enough. Netanyahu wanted war with Iran. Trump gave him one.

The American people — not Netanyahu’s right-wing government — should determine U.S. foreign policy.

Screenshot of an X post by Adam Schwarz stating that Melania Trump is chairing a UN Security Council meeting while the U.S. holds the presidency of the council. Below is a video still showing Melania Trump seated at a conference table with a nameplate reading “PRESIDENT” and “UNITED STATES,” speaking into a microphone, with officials seated behind her.

I do not enjoy this timeline.

While the McDonald’s CEO gets roasted for his awkward burger taste test...

McDonald’s is among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

And McDonald's CEO recently raked in $18.2M — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

That should leave a bad taste in your mouth.

No problem here!

I don't see the problem

Secretary Noem is either utterly incompetent or she is violating laws with impunity. She should step down from her position. If she doesn’t, she should be removed by this president, and if not, Congress should impeach her.

U.S. State Department notice for Americans to leave 13 Middle Eastern countries

Image of current flights in the air over the Middle East

The U.S. State Department issued a notice yesterday for Americans to evacuate more than a dozen Middle Eastern countries "via commercial means due to serious safety risks."

The catch?

Air space is closed. There are no flights leaving 10 of the 13 countries.
