If Russia had planted a sleeper agent in the US with the goal of winning the presidency and driving the US into ruin they could not have done a better job than what Donald Trump is doing

BREAKING: Trump was just asked if Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks at home: โ€œI guessโ€ฆ Like I said, some people will die.โ€

The video of a United States Senator joining the violent removal of U.S. marine from a hearing and hideously breaking his arm in a door is an example of what has been unleashed in this country. Theyโ€™re tapping in to get in on the violence.
And then he bragged about it on X later.

A small group of Democratic lawmakers have just proposed legislation to bar members of Congress from profiting off prediction markets, citing elected officials' possession of "material nonpublic information."

This is a great article and got too little attention when it first came out. @propublica.org is doing amazing work.

The White House wants an extra $50 billion to fund Trumpโ€™s illegal war.

Thatโ€™s on top of the Pentagonโ€™s $1T budget โ€” which Trump is trying to boost to $1.5T.

Remember that over half of defense spending flows to private corporations and the Pentagon has failed eight financial audits in a row.

Karoline Leavitt: It doesn't matter if Russia is helping Iran kill American troops.

What a breathtakingly twisted White House.

โ€œLike I said, some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die.โ€

Thatโ€™s what the President of the United States is saying to the American people.

He wonโ€™t be hurt by a retaliatory attack or high gas prices. But you will โ€” and thatโ€™s a sacrifice heโ€™s willing to make.

Judging from the prose, the Pentagon appears to be using AI to announce the death of soldiers. If itโ€™s not AI, itโ€™s a person who simply does not care.

โ€œIn addition to sex trafficking, it appears that Epstein and his associates were under investigation by the DEA for other major crimes, including illicit drug trafficking and money launderingโ€ฆ Iโ€™m convinced [that] lot of people who were directly involved are still walking free.โ€ @wyden.senate.gov

excellent deep dive into all of the ways that the Trump administration has used the federal budget to keep punishing critics and trying to bend them to his will. FWIW, this is precisely how Viktor Orban crushed the opposition in Hungary 15 years ago. The national budget is a powerful weapon.

The US and Iran have obviously not been at war for 47 years, as regime propagandists tell us. What has been going on for 47 years is the Saudi-Iranian regional proxy war. So the propaganda defines us as a Saudi proxy state.

Itโ€™s Time for Congress to DISCLOSE Election Spending Congress is set to introduce a bill that would significantly improve transparency in our elections known as the DISCLOSE Act.

Congress has reintroduced the DISCLOSE Act, a common-sense bill that shines a light on dark money in our elections.

Voters deserve to know whoโ€™s paying to influence their vote. It's long past time for Congress to pass such legislation.

Itโ€™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.

The Iran Warโ€™s Most Precious Commodity Isnโ€™t Oil The CIA calls it the โ€œstrategic commodityโ€ of the Middle East. But itโ€™s not referring to oil or natural gas. What the American spy agency has in mind is far more prosaic: drinking water. Donโ€™t underes...

โ€œBut the risk is real โ€” whether by targeting desalination plants deliberately, or by accident due to a stray missile or drone. Oil is essential; but water is irreplaceable.โ€

Water, not oil, is Iranโ€™s most precious commodity.

This is why red states have higher voter apathy. Always shenanigans.

I feel bad for these folks just trying to exercise their constitutional right to vote and having to deal with this mess.

Southern Command, which encompasses 31 countries through South and Central America and the Caribbean, said the action was aimed at combating illicit drug trafficking, but did not provide more details in a statement on X.

๐Ÿ”ด Rachel Maddow claims โ€œit is the Gulf Arab statesโ€ that stand to benefit most from Iran being weakened. She said Gulf states โ€œrented the services of the United States military to start a war that they want.โ€

In a nearly 20-minute segment titled โ€œFollow the MONEY,โ€ Rachel Maddow mentioned Israelโ€”which has publicly called for U.S.-led regime change in Iranโ€”only twice.

๐Ÿ’ฌ In that portion of the segment, she states:

โ€œI mean, there's a lot of attention on Israel and indeed Israel and the United States have worked together in the bombing campaign, not only the one that started today, but the campaign against Iran in June. But it is the Gulf Arab states who are arrayed against Iran, who want Iran removed as their regional rival.

It is those countries that have been assiduously buying up members of the Trump family and the Trump administration with just astonishing amounts of cash in recent years, and particularly in recent months.

And now for that low, low price, they appear to have rented the services of the United States military to start a war that they want, but that the American people do not.โ€
