Oh

Hegseth asked about Russia helping Iran to target Americans:

"We're not concerned about that... The only ones that need to be worried right now are Iranians that think they're going to live."

A grotesquely indiscriminate threat against the entire Iranian population.

seeing more disgusting genocidal racism talk coming from Israeli politicians now that more bombs are dropping.

There is no justification.

Every human being's life is equally precious and demands our dignity, care and consideration.

Full stop.

What kind of dumb shit take is this?!

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"

Obama has the crowd at Jesse Jackson's eulogy hanging on his every word

Trump’s “Warflation” Has Just Begun If he were trying to increase prices on purpose, would he be doing anything differently?

Get ready for some "warflation": higher prices for oil, gas, food (lots of fertilizer passes through Hormuz), goods made with petrochemicals (umbrellas, shampoo, toys, etc.), and pretty much anything that needs to be transported anywhere.

JOHNSON: We’re not at war

TRUMP: When you go to war, some people will die

Leavitt: "The overall mission in this operation is to ensure that Iran can never again possess a nuclear weapon. That was the real imminent threat that was posed by Iran." (Iran never had a nuclear weapon!)

Hey, this ain't my lane as a documentary filmmaker, but it occurs to me that if you're anti-immigration, you might not want to create conditions in which hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people are forced to migrate in order to survive.

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

Great point....but it is Trump.

As a friend pointed out: honestly astonishing to think about what would have happened if trump had come in and done literally nothing on the economy

thoughts on stephen miller’s rant about “human rights” youtu.be/3RJ_TWtFcMk?...

Democrats should reintroduce War Powers Resolution ASAP in Congress. Could at least force Republicans to explain why they're not open to putting any limitations at all on a megalomaniacal war leader.

60%, or more, of manufacturing workers are white men. Trump’s tariff policy has devasted a key industry sector where many of his supporters work.

People think Trump cares that his war is unpopular, his tariffs are unpopular, his economy is unpopular, etc. Those people don't get Trump views us as subjects. Our views don't matter.

“Unconditional surrender” was the Allies’ demand in WWII. They backed it up by occupying Germany, Italy and Japan.

Is Trump prepared to send hundreds of thousands of troops to occupy Iran, a nation of 93 million people, and to risk the resulting casualties? If not, this is simply bluster.

Attempted suicides, fights, pain: 911 calls reveal misery at ICE’s largest detention facility The calls to 911 poured in from staff at Camp East Montana, the nation's largest U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility, in its first months of operation in El Paso, Texas.

Incredibly distressing

Cheeto regime should be held here. Right now, today, Idc it would lower us to their level. They deserve to know the experience.

Weak jobs numbers => The Fed is more likely to consider rate cuts, sooner.
