“Trump has already telegraphed that he wants to exploit this war to try to fix (”federalize”) the elections of November 2026, and preserve his power with artificial majorities of supine Republicans.”
Origins of Iran war? “…a closed domain of international oligarchs, exploiting the state’s power and patriotic sentiment, while creating a world order in which the American state is much weaker, or simply ceases to function. An oligarchical corridor.”
Russia provides intelligence to Iran, so naturally we lift sanctions on Russia so they can sell oil to India. America first indeed. Sorry Ukraine, this is your reward for helping us with drone warfare. We live in the upside down. 🤬🤬
Especially to call an “emergency” and suspend or federally take over elections. The best leverage we have to prevent this and the Ds want throw it away as usual.
Bye Felicia, hello Rickybobby.
FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?
Sunset over Puget Sound.
Another spectacular sunset in the PNW.
Amen!🙌
He might actually be ignorant enough to think he can use Ukraine's constitution to cancel an election here, regardless of the fact that our own constitution says he can't.
Historian Timothy Snyder, on the pedophile führer's diabolical reason for attacking Iran. It has nothing to do with what most people think and everything to do with abolishing American democracy and rigging the 2026 midterm elections. 😳👇
From Hitler to Mussolini to Nicolae Ceaușescu to America's pedophile führer, this is how all fascist authoritarians operate. 😳👇
Good thread.
Great conversation here - worth a listen. Refreshing to hear some straight talk about the mess the USA is in.
How does OH keep voting in the most stupid, compromised, and evil people to represent them. Fuck you Congressman you dotard chud.
Killing a bunch of elementary school girls to distract from having raped a bunch of middle- and high-school girls is pretty fucking grim.

In Minnesota, despite showing documents proving active immigration cases, pending visas, or even US citizenship, residents were arrested and detained by ICE for days or weeks.
But many who were later set free are now encountering a new challenge: ICE isn’t giving back their immigration documents.
Wait, you have a do bed on the bed? Now that dog is king (queen?).
Leak the report.
Impeach Cannon.
Bibi just visited, coincidence? He has been pushing the US to bomb Iran for over 25 years. We now have someone stupid enough to act on his bullshit.
“We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done," journalist Garrett Graff wrote: "A superpower … suicide because the [Repub] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.”

Time to end this authoritarian nightmare. I do not recognize my country anymore. Prosecute and jail mango Mussolini and his entire cabinet. Daily corruption and lawlessness - we are better than this (I hope).
So, he can charge higher tariffs now. Got it. If it wasn’t this clown, I would believe this is fake or an SNL skit.
Good morning ☕
