Russia is helping Iran kill American troops.

Betcha feckless Donald *still* won't criticize his hero Vladimir. Because he doesn't care.

it's always nice to be reminded of how incredible a public speaker Barack Obama is. here's part of his eulogy of Jesse Jackson

Sen. Richard Blumenthal says Republicans could fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard right now using $170B in the “big beautiful bill.” Instead, he says they’re “inflicting maximum pain” for political talking points while those agencies go unfunded.

We haven’t been “winning” like this in forty three years.

Trump to mass death: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The president's shruggy nihilism extends to Iranians, US soldiers, and you.

Unlike Hegseth, who appears drunk on performance as he thirsts for death, Trump’s thoughts on death here are eerily relaxed. such insouciance might not be new when it comes to America’s thirst for war.

But carrying it so openly and inelegantly is something else entirely.

I'm no economist but this graph of crude oil futures seems, to me, bad

Toxic Trump has done it again.

you have a son, make sure you buy him a note pad, a body camera, & a recording device. Get him a battery pack too so he can always protect himself with video evidence of every single encounter he has with a woman. Men aren't safe in America anymore. There is a war on men. Bill Prady @billprady I decided to just teach my son to respect women. Fewer things to buy.

Thank you, Bill

Make it so

Trump’s Iran War is not going to be ending anytime soon. And calling for a country to surrender unconditionally means it is unarguably a war that requires a declaration of war.

In Battle for Shriveled Soul of GOP, Congressman and YouTuber Will Face Off Again (Again) A repeat Republican runoff sure to degrade all who participate in it, or even think of it, might create a long-shot opening for Texas Dems.

Thank you, General Leavitt, for your carefully thought out, balanced analysis.

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

Diesels already $4.50 a gallon where I'm at. It raised another dime in a day. This is outlandish. I'm definitely going to see $5 diesel just like in California. When the Midwest sees $5 diesel watch how fast they turn on this orange monster.

Wow did something happen in the US in January 2025?

This guy.... He will be the forever comedian. In my eyes he is a hero, larger than life. He's on the way to making it on my wall at home next to my Star Wars poster in my den.

Surely Republicans, who spent decades crassly singing “Bomb Iran” to the tune of Beach Boys songs would never have launched a war with Iran if not forced to by Netanyahu. Certainly not Donald Trump, who during his first term withdrew from the JCPOA with Iran & assassinated Iranian military leaders.

Seems less than ideal.

#Iran: Prominent UAE billionaire philanthropist, Khalaf Ahmad Al Habtoor, just published a BRUTAL open letter to Trump:

". . . Who gave you the authority to drag our region into a war with Iran? Who gave you permission to turn our region into a battlefield . . ? We didn't sign up for this. . .”

The supposed explosion of the federal public service looks less explosive if you put it in per capita numbers and draw a line graph back to the mid-80s.
