Persimmons for Peace

Aha, that’s why you’ve moved so many times!! Me too. Though I am almost convinced (never say never) that this one may just be my forever home…

I’ll give you a hint: I’m a military brat. Though ironically, not USMC! My dad was USAF.

Yes, Jeffrey Epstein's Zorro Ranch Trust Won $85 Million in the Oklahoma Lottery Two Days After He Went to Prison, and No One Asked Any Questions. Part One in a Four-Part Series I'm Calling Zorro Ranch: Follow the Money.

Journalist Alisa Valdés does a deep dive into Zorro Ranch’s lottery winnings. Seems few are questioning this oddly timed $85m windfall that happened after Epstein was imprisoned.

But hey, you got it!! Me? I’ve been so busy around here I blew my streak! (We still haven’t unpacked, but the house is coming along!)

Just a thought, maybe SecDef shouldn’t jerk himself off on live television at the thought of casualties in war.

War isn’t something to be giddy about. Were the most powerful nation on the planet. We’re supposed to be the quiet professionals, not carnival barking morons.

Watch this.

19 minutes and $12 to get meds at a public Chinese hospital. Without insurance.

As we slash Medicaid to start unnecessary wars and cut taxes for the rich. 🇺🇸

We should all be so much angrier than we are. It doesn’t have to be this way. #MedicareForAllNOW

¡MOARRR, por favorrrr!!! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸❤️💛

Swoon. Oh, to have a leader like this. #VivaEspaña

Trump is having to be reminded that when you threaten an EU member on trade, in this case Spain, the EU comes to your defence.

That's one of the key perks of being part of a bloc which negotiates trade as one cohesive unit: nobody can pull you out of the pack and savage you.

wow -- Tillis goes ballistic on Noem, telling her "what we've seen is a disaster under your leadership"

Holy crap! Senator Richard Blumethal says Trump regime just briefed them on sending US troops to fight in Iran!!!

Uhhhhhhhhhhh. What?

“Deeply unpopular, immoral, illegal war”

After a briefing that appears to have clarified little, Dem senators sound the alarm about Trump’s war in Iran and the potential for 🇺🇸 boots on the ground

“This is not your Democrat war. This is President Trump’s war.”

Sen. Tuberville out here making free campaign ads for the Dems.

Well, we did it because of the protesters

Nukes

I mean they’re building an ICBM

We did it defensively because Iran was going to attack us

I mean Israel was gonna do it anyway so we did it too

They were gonna attack us because Israel was gonna attack them so we attacked them

Jesus. F*cking. Christ.

One thing Bill Whitaker is gonna do on @60minutes.bsky.social is report the truth. Whoever’s in charge.

Especially coming on the heels of Justice Thomas’ recent remarks about “incivility,” this report on the uniquely vicious and menacing attacks on lower federal court judges is important.

Insane - @marcorubio says we attacked Iran so they would hit our military bases now when we expected it rather than later, calling it a “wise decision” by Trump

Again: they think we are all idiots

Dear lord. Some DACA recipients have been here since they were toddlers.

Tier 2 was a kick in the teeth, but hey i did a little bit of Yahtzee and voila!

Trump and Hegseth both opened the door to boots on the ground in Iran today.

Who the fuck voted for that?

War is good for business if your business is war. ☠️

The DOE put Charlie Kirk next to Booker T. Washington and I’ve had quite enough of these fascists losers now, thank you very much.

This is so deeply corrupt
