Scott Bessent is such a POS. I hope that someday he has to face repercussions for all the damage that he's done.

Shocker. Right wing influencers trying to mend a rift by being horrible people.

I wish some major media outlets would do broad reports on the impact of death threats on our politics, and on who's doing them (MAGA men mostly from what I can tell), and why law enforcement appears to be doing so little about them. They are such a big (submerged) part of our politics now.

Are Sam Altman, Markie Z and Peter Thiel actually human? I'm not convinced. Fuck AI at this point. Sure, it has some amazing medical uses, but that isn't why the Pentagon uses it. Also, humans need to use their brains and their empathy. Use or lose it.

I'm so sorry for what our government is doing. I hate most of us as well.

The Trump administration learned that many of us in San Diego were relaxing at the beach yesterday and not focused on his shit reality show. That is why he bombed Iran. I’m certain of it.

OCASIO-CORTEZ STATEMENT ON
TRUMP'S COMBAT OPERATIONS IN IRAN
"The American people are once again dragged into a war they did not want by a president who does not care about the long-term consequences of his actions. This war is unlawful. It is unnecessary. And it will be catastrophic.

"Just this week, Iran and the United States were negotiating key measures that could have staved off war. The President walked away from these discussions and chose war instead.President Trump flippantly acknowledged the possibility of American casualties, stating "that often happens in war.'

"Mr. President: this was not an inevitability. This is a deliberate choice of aggression when diplomacy and security were within reach. Stop lying to the American people.

"Violence begets violence. We learned this lesson in Iraq. We learned this lesson in Afghanistan. And we are about to learn it again in Iran. Bombs have yet to create enduring democracies in the region and this will be no different.

"In moments of war, our Constitution is unambiguous: Congress authorizes war. The President does not. I will do my part to uphold our Constitution by voting YES on Representatives Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie's War Powers Resolution. Every member of Congress must join us in rejecting this aimless war.
