Can we just take a minute to talk about Donald Trump being asked if the map of Iran will look the same when the war is over and he said “probably not?”
WTF? you can’t do that!
For those who have forgotten the past 40 years:
Tax cuts for the rich
...don’t trickle down
Boosting military spending
...doesn’t bring peace
Slashing regulations
...doesn’t create jobs
Folks, we’ve seen this all before.
My money once again is on this guy
Remind me: when you bomb an elementary school, lure the survivors into a false sense of safety, and then bomb the survivors, leaving behind dozens and dozens of dead school children... are you the good guys?
Since 2011 - they were 6 weeks old.
I keep thinking about this weird thing where the DOJ is investigating Jerome Powell for allegedly lying to the Senate about renovations (even though no senators have accused him of lying), while Kristi Noem told the Senate Trump approved her $220M ad campaign and Trump himself said that wasn't true.
Buttigieg: You’ve got money from the Middle East going into the Trump family crypto fund while you have Americans going to the Middle East for Donald Trump’s war.
The United States had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Donald Trump ripped that deal up and got nothing in return.
JFC. These vindictive a**holes are going after Cassidy Hutchinson now for testifying against Trump. They made a criminal referral accusing her of lying to Congress when she testified Trump knew about the potential for violence on Jan 6.

Screenshot of post reading: Welp: ZERO takers on the Trump administration's first lease sale for oil and gas development in the Cook Inlet, Alaska. Bidding closed today with no bids. The lease sale was supposed to spark new interest in oil and gas development in the region. It doesn't seem to be working.
Republicans passed the Big Ugly Bill to force the government to attempt to sell our lands and waters to fossil fuel companies.
The first sale off the coast of Alaska got ZERO bids: no one wants their fossil fuel fantasies.
Trump—cut your losses and leave our lands alone.
The reason we have “stupid rules of engagement” is to make sure we don’t bomb elementary schools.
"It could last six days, six weeks. I doubt six months."
— Donald Rumsfeld on the Iraq War (7 Feb 2003). On December 18, 2011, the United States completely withdrew its military forces from Iraq. They were forced to re-engage in September 2014 to fight against ISIS in Syria & Iraq
I don’t remember Trump campaigning on Americans needing to make financial sacrifices for foreign wars. bsky.app/profile/atru...
I will miss Kristi Noem's inimitable constitutional insights, as when, asked by Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H. at a Senate hearing to define "habeas corpus," she replied, "Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."
Bookmarked this for “oil has pretty much stabilized.” Let’s check back next week on this.
“He says what the rest of us are thinking!”
Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"
Non-citizens voting in federal elections is already illegal and extremely rare.
So what’s the SAVE Act really about?
Forcing millions of citizens to dig up passports or birth certificates just to register to vote.

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.
It’s not 2001 & we aren’t in the immediate aftermath of a major terrorist attack on US soil. The same arguments used then are being used now - if Reps don’t vote to fund a Middle East war they are betraying troops. That’s BS. We should not vote to fund Trump’s wars of aggression.
Well would you look at that
BREAKING: House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) calls on Rep. Tony Gonzales (R-TX) to withdraw from re-election after the Texas Rep. admitted to an affair with a staffer.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Donald Trump promised America First.
Yet, he has prioritized intervening in other countries like Greenland, Venezuela and, now, Iran.
The American people can’t rely on this president to keep his promises, but they can rely on him to keep lying.
Remember this when Donald Trump tells you we can’t afford health care.
