In the 60s it was “suppose they gave a war and nobody came.” Now it’s “suppose we did a war and then said that we didn’t do a war and also we already won the war and we beat you shut up”

The Trillions of Dollars of U.S. Investment at Stake in the Gulf A Dubai billionaire’s critical post on X highlights how turmoil in the region stands to upset an increasingly profound economic relationship with the U.S.

Our best hope may be that Gulf states threaten to withdraw investment in US projects (hello Jared Kushner) so that grandpa is forced out of his Fox filter bubble and has to face reality www.wsj.com/business/the...

A Trump voter whose son was killed by ICE is calling for an end to "abuse and impunity" at the agency "I just want to know what happened," Rachel Reyes told CBS News during her first TV interview since the death of her son, Ruben Ray Martinez, a U.S. citizen shot and killed by an ICE agent in Texas la...

"I don't blame President Trump for the death of my son, 'cause he wasn't the one who pulled the trigger," Reyes said. "But I do think that something needs to be changed in that department as far as the pattern of violence or abuse and impunity." www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/mom...

Imagine how many other Martinezes — and Prettis and Goods — there have been in the past year who we don’t even know about

And that’s not even counting what we don’t know about the camps and elsewhere.

I planned to share my report on the body cam footage early next week when I learned that a DC news station had obtained some of the footage as a result of my lawsuit and they were going to scoop me. After working on this for a year, I couldn't let that happen. Published 2 mins before they aired :)

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

I don’t want to share the video because it’s pretty graphic, but apparently we’re at the ‘Republican Senator breaks the arm of a Marine IN FULL DRESS because that marine was protesting the Republicans starting a war of choice with Iran’ stage of things.

According to the US and Israeli right wings, Iran has been in the last mile of their nuclear weapons program for my entire adult life.

Netanyahu drew his red line at the UN nearly 14 years ago.

funny though that swing voters were incandescently furious at Biden for inflation largely caused by a global pandemic, because they imagined him pressing the "make prices go up" button. then they elected Trump who is literally doing that. getting a little chuckle out of that

This is the best possible outcome and it still sucks. To end things, all Iran has to do is offer him some vague promise that he can sell as a win and never deliver.

Pete Hegseth’s Crazed, Angry Tirades on Iran Give Dems a Big Opening It’s not enough for Democrats to say Trump’s war rationales haven’t been fully explained. The problem is that they are patently false.

@gregsargent.bsky.social nails it here: Dems should be hammering the Trump administration for failing to make the case for war. At this point, it is clear that they cannot do so.

Drilled: How Trump's plan to 'dominate' the world's oil supply helped fuel the war in Iran Forget Saudi Arabia. Trump is making America the world's most dominant petrostate.

"It's not going to change the price of the pump, because guess what? The US, we don't get any oil anymore out of the Strait of Hormuz," Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said last fall.

Crude oil prices are up about 20% RN.

Timeline cleanse. The idea that was Bowie’s attempt at being more commercial seems so wild to me considering that the first 3 songs are (wonderfully) batshit crazy.
