Why would Iran agree to talks on the condition they unconditionally surrender? What would they even be negotiating at those talks at that point??? ๐ตโ๐ซ
Even a French General knows more than the Republican Congress.
Producer prices rising EVERY single month since October. Four consecutive months of acceleration. A war launched without Congress now threatening the global economy. This is reckless, unchecked power destroying your purchasing power. #TrumpsJobsSlumpโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Nintendo's lawsuit is going after the U.S. government's "unlawful imposition of tariffs" and is asking for refunds with interest.
Hard-working families here in Wisconsin and across our country are paying the price for Trumpโs reckless and illegal tariff taxes, costing Americans nearly $200 billion last year alone.

It's not quite that, but it's blame-shifting: Blaming incompetence, where we have abundant evidence that many, if not most, of the reasons she will be remembered were either intentional or known inevitabilities.
The New Yorker Kristi Noem will be remembered as the most incompetent Secretary in the 23-year history of the D.H.S. now

It will be the killings, the lawlessness, and the grift, if I had to guess.

I'm betting by next Monday, the price of gas where I live will be $6.00 per gallon. Last Monday, when I filled up, it was $5.10 per gallon.
What are gas prices where YOU live?
Republican-fascists are saying gas is $2.00 per gallon. ๐

Documents reveal a web of financial ties between Trump officials and the industries they help regulate:
ProPublica is releasing a trove of disclosure records that detail the finances of more than 1,500 Trump appointees who declined to identify former clients.
And, Trump GAVE the President Javier Milei of Argentina 40b of our money.
Is Milei in the Epstein Files?

NEW -- The Geneva Conventions state clearly that after a naval battle, all parties are supposed to take "all possible measures" to rescue survivors from the water.
Our sub that sank that Iranian frigate Wednesday took no possible measures.

Psaki: "While Kristi Noem certainly deserved to lose her job, the man Trump has tapped to replace her hardly seems, in my view, up to a wartime appointment. In fact, he seems pretty confused about whether or not this is a war."
