On NJ Transit on the way home and the train just died.
Just another day/reminder of how “the richest and most powerful nation in the world” cannot do mass transit.
We can afford a war and build concentration camps, but not mass transit.
Himes: "Already you see the White House in an absolute panic over gas prices, coming up with wild ideas ... they understand that this terrible decision they have taken is going to end this presidency. We're gonna have a lame duck president for 3 years with 20 to 30% approval."
Hospital shootings are rising, threatening patients and staff. Three people died in hospital shootings this week in Milwaukee, WI and Homewood, AL. Hospitals must work with frontline healthcare staff on effective programs to prevent workplace violence. cbs58.com/news/its-far...
This vicious war is what western civilisation really is: violence, destruction and the will to subjugate and dominate others out of a sense of inferiority

Every sycophantic ass-kissing unqualified loser hanging around Mar-a-Lago for the last 4 years saw Trump’s presidency as an opportunity to fleece taxpayers with one corrupt scheme after another knowing they could get away with it because the boss is worse and Congress won’t care.

Help! Yesterday, President Trump gave Kristi Noem a ticket to ride and now we're going to lose that girl, but maybe if she didn't hide her love away for Corey we could all act naturally about it. You make me dizzy Miss Kristi!

The fact that Kristi Noem's relentless plastic surgery couldn't save her job, even in the MAGAverse, signals that feminism has achieved its goals.
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."
Trump to Rubio: "Your next one is gonna be Cuba. He's waiting but he says, 'Let's get this one finished first.' We could do them all at the same time, but bad things happen."
they might have a hole in their soul

It's the right to BEAR arms not break them.
Now ICE is stealing our journalists. Fucking cowards.

Seems fair to wonder if Anthropic’s A.I. had something to do with an 🇺🇸 strike killing those schoolgirls
When Netanyahu wants you to vote for a specific candidate- you vote for the other
So, ya should've voted for Harris

...which is what he did when asked about Noem's firing.
I find it incredibly vile that a lot of people find Trump's contempt for the possibility of American deaths more offensive than the fact that he has already killed thousands of people in Iran.
If Trump says "I guess" about American lives, then you are saying the same about Iranian lives.
Iranian school hit by air strike: Le Monde's investigation confirms many civilian victims, including children
🚨 Australia just confirmed three of its personnel were aboard the US submarine that torpedoed the Iranian warship off Sri Lanka
This just became an international incident in a new direction.
Australia is now a co-combatant in an unauthorized war. No Australian parliamentary vote. No public debate.
YW!

The fuck kind of answer is this
Proving yet again one of my basic rules on navigating Trumpism: He will always replace an incompetent person with someone more incompetent.
It would be funny if Markwayne’s middle name was Wayne. (I’ll always think of him as guy w/o a bachelors degree who made 75M selling his plumbing biz when he got to Congress. Then had 1.4M PPP loan forgiven in ‘22 before joining Senate. Ethically challenged tree stump of a man.
