Hegseth keeps saying we are untouchable and invincible and we have total dominance so I don’t know how this could happen.
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"
People often assume survivors are exaggerating.
In my experience, the opposite is usually true. Survivors soften the edges of what happened. They leave things out. They make it smaller just to be able to say it.
Listen carefully to survivors. The truth is often already in their words.
We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
Seems less than ideal.
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.

WAR CRIMES DON’T HIDE SEX CRIMES
I’m with Rep Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) we need answers and we need answers now. Trump and the Pentagon are reportedly planning on sending 23,000 troops to all 50 states. Elbridge Colby won’t answer basic questions about this plan. Unacceptable, we need to stay on this story.👀
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
The fuck kind of answer is this
Why?
What qualifications does Mullin hold to be DHS secretary?
His “qualifications” are:
-Political alignment and loyalty to the president
He does not have:
-Law enforcement, military, intelligence, counter-terrorism, immigration enforcement, or emergency management (the core DHS domains)👇
Virginia Giuffre posted publicly: "I am not suicidal. Too many people with bad intentions want to silence me."
Her death was ruled a suicide on April 25, 2025. She was 41.
documents referencing Giuffre. Her testimony named names no one else would.
RIP Virginia
Release the Epstein files!
My statement on Secretary Noem's firing:
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.
“You’re a U.S. senator!”
Bernie stops Noem’s replacement from literally trying to fight someone👇🏽
This should go great
If anyone still needs an answer to why we have a separation of church and state, officials citing a biblical duty to Israel while expressing a willingness to send American soldiers to their deaths to “light a signal fire in Iran” should settle that question for the rest of time
They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.
WATCH — @senpeterwelch walks through a no-bid $143,000,000 contract that went to @KristiNoem’s spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin’s husband’s company that had just been formed.
She should be impeached for this outrageous scandal alone.
Yet it’s barely a blip in this corrupt regime.
Raskin: Based on what you know today, were Renee Good and Alex Pretti domestic terrorists?
Noem: What happened was an absolute tragedy.
Raskin: Were they domestic terrorists?
Noem: My condolences to their families
Raskin: You lied about them.
“Congress should stay out of it.”
What???
Melanie Stansbury is the adult in the room - thank goodness.👇
The American people should have gotten a clear explanation as to why we bombed Iran and what the end game is. Instead, they got this:
“There was no imminent threat from Iran to 🇺🇸 that would warrant sending our sons and daughters into another war in the Middle East.”

Minnesota voter: "Farmers are really hurting right now with the tariffs, the price of corn, the price of beans. They are losing money with every acre that they're planting."
Trump's answer? Increase the tariffs.
