Pretty sure there's a connection between that poll where the majority of Americans say most people around them are bad people and the fact that nine out of 10 phone calls in this country are from predatory scammers
I am fucking livid about this. Passport and green card holders kidnapped by the state, taken across state lines, their jailers lying to elected officials, despicable, perfidious treachery
My favorite rule about seeing a tornado IRL:
Tornados never stop moving, if it looks like it stopped moving,.its either moving towards you or away...you gotta 50/50 shot.
Unbearable. Wtf are we doing.
Iran retaliated with missile and drone bombardments against U.S. bases and allied territory, targeting military facilities across the Gulf, including Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. One Iranian drone killed six American service members at a U.S. command center in Kuwait. Asked whether Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home, Trump acknowledges the possibility. “I guess,” he says. “But I think they’re worried about that all the time. We think about it all the time. We plan for it. But yeah, you know, we expect some things. Like I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."
Donald Trump’s White House is blocking top US intelligence agencies from warning law enforcement across the country about rising threats to the homeland tied to his war with Iran, the Daily Mail can reveal. The FBI, Homeland Security, and the National Counterterrorism Center were preparing to put out a joint intelligence statement on Friday to state and local authorities alerting them of a heightened threat due to the ongoing war in Iran, a senior DHS official said. The bulletin, which was reviewed by the Daily Mail, details 'elevated threats by the government of Iran to US military and government personnel and facilities, Jewish and Israeli institutions and their perceived supporters, and Iranian dissidents and other anti-regime activists in the United States.' 'Radicalized individuals with a variety of ideological backgrounds also may see this conflict or other geopolitical events as a justification for violence,' the report continues. The five-page bulletin blocked by the White House provides specific details on how Iranian proxies may carry out attacks across the country. One section explains how local law enforcement can respond to this type of violence. The official title is 'A Public Safety Awareness Report: Elevated threat in the United States during US-Iran conflict'. Homeland Security broke protocol and gave the White House a heads-up about the nationwide bulletin hours before it was set to be released. Top Trump officials ordered it placed on ‘hold’. The White House did not deny blocking the terror bulletin in a statement to the Daily Mail.
Time: Asked if Americans should be worried abt attacks at home: I guess.
Daily Mail: The White House blocked release of FBI/NCTC warning of elevated risks.

This week's comic: The Big Dumb War Cycle
“Mother, I got the most unusual tattoo while I was soldiering abroad, would you like to see? Don’t you think the lads at the oyster farm will admire it? Oh, I do hope they will, mother, the needle was ever so painful.”
Wow. The corruption and self-dealing is boundless — in the billions.
It takes real galaxy brains to mass cancel solar and wind projects and then start a pointless unpopular war that sends oil prices soaring.
MS NOW confirms Corey Lewandowski is also out at DHS.
I like men. But testosterone can have some negative effects.
ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.
They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.
The U.S. war on Iran is now estimated to cost $1 billion per day. Meanwhile Americans are told there’s no money for healthcare, hospitals, or basic social programs.
It was her audition for Trump. He's the main person who would see that as a positive trait.
Thank you. If *I* knew about this before she was confirmed, then it was Tillis's job to know it. If he didn't know, or confirmed her anyway, then he failed then and is still failing - by voting with Trump again and again. Coward.
I'm still disgusted over Tillis going on about Noem's dog. THAT INFORMATION WAS KNOWN WHEN HE VOTED TO CONFIRM HER. YOU CONFIRMED THAT PYSCHOPATH, TILLIS! He pretends to be disgusted but still votes with Trump 99%
A Marine in uniform = "left wing lunatic"? I guess they are not including pictures?
PEPFAR, the program to stop hundreds of thousands of children and adults from dying of HIV/AIDS, was $6.5 billion a year.
Reminder that the US military budget is larger than the military spending of the next nine largest countries combined.
Over half goes to private defense contractors.
This is the military-industrial complex Eisenhower warned of — on steroids.
It’s looking increasingly likely that Kristi Noem and Lewandowski funneled almost 200 million in government money to a company that is run by her friend and that nobody can give an address for.
Oh, and it was 8 days old when it was awarded the contract.
This is an overview of the cost benefits of public lands eligible for sale.
Environmental scientist Kyle Manley analyzed the costs and benefits of public land sell-offs. Altogether the ecosystems on these lands generate roughly $507.4 billion in benefits to the public every year. spklr.io/6009EDJl5

Yeah like to put things in perspective, the damage done by Sergey Brin’s ex-wife single handedly funding large segments of the anti-vax movement probably undid shitloads of positive public health work done through philanthropy. The ability to use that money for evil shit is just far greater.
I hope South Carolina knows better than to elect her governor
There's been a lot of debate within the Democratic establishment about what rhetoric to use via ICE.
Well, an incumbent doesn't lose by 48 percentage points very often—and her vote on collaborating with ICE was the defining issue here.
Spanish PM Sánchez responds to Trump:
"Spain is against this disaster... Govts are here to improve people's lives... It is absolutely unacceptable that those leaders who are unable to fulfill that mission use the smoke of war to hide their failure, and in the process, fill the pockets of a few."
We need to pass a House rule or law that requires them to work a certain number of days to get paid. Since Mike Johnson took over these people hardly ever work. When they finally come back after weeks off they work 2 days and he sends them home for 2 more weeks. It’s ridiculous.
Hah just saw Ivins autocorrected to icon, and that too.
