Ben Stiller is calling out the White House after it used a clip from Tropic Thunder in a video promoting the Iran war.
“We never gave you permission and have no interest in being part of your propaganda machine. War is not a movie,” Stiller wrote.
Almost every country in the Middle East is becoming involved, with many of them sustaining damage from missile hits.
The enforcement of laws against homeless people is costly.
Albuquerque’s Bernalillo County spends ~$169/night to jail inmates — and more if they have significant medical needs.
By comparison, the city’s year-round emergency shelter costs $44/night.
For the last decade, the federal government has penalized nursing homes over the use of powerful antipsychotic drugs to control residents with dementia.
But now, the Trump administration is reviewing whether to loosen restrictions on these medications.
Anything about schools paying exorbitant salaries to coaches?
Whaaaaat!
If you are attacking Jena Griswold because she did not personally argue the 14th disqualification case in the Supreme Court, you have lost the plot. She was literally a party to the case brought by Trump. We need more people willing to stand up to Trump, not tearing down those who did.
Why is the Treasury Secretary announcing tonight’s attack plans?
Last time I bought a rack of tall boys I didn't need a passport and original copy of my birth certificate.
There is no more freedom of the press....

Yeah, that made Trump look like an idiot. Oh, wait….
You're talking to a Kent State survivor. My health doesn't allow me to march with crowds like we used to, but we fly a different banner every day on our busy street. Here are a few of the 14 or so we cycle thru daily. Write cards, make calls, get signatures. Lots of ways to help!
Excellent by @haliesoifer.bsky.social:
"The key questions before this White House — which remain unanswered — are whether military conflict with Iran is in America’s interest, what are the objectives, and is there a plan to turn short-term tactical gains into long-term strategic success in Iran."
My head is spinning.
The Brent oil price is about to hit $90 per barrel and this is why: on any normal day, there's 60 oil tankers going in and out of the Straits of Hormuz. That number is zero at the moment and will be really hard to get back up. This is a massive shock...

I’m tired of seeing seniors tricked into signing up for for-profit healthcare plans that they think are Medicare. The Save Medicare Act will put a stop to it.

Do you demand an 'unconditional surrender' if you are not at war????

“My worry is that Trump is leading the Iranian people to slaughter.” —Sen. Chris Murphy warns that urging Iranians to rise up against the regime without a real plan to support them could put civilians directly in danger
‘Medicare Advantage Is NOT Medicare’: Democrats Proposal Would Unmask For-Profit Fraudsters
“We don’t allow banks to call themselves the US Treasury Investment Fund. We don’t allow anyone to call themselves USPS Plus. So why allow insurance companies to call private insurance Medicare Advantage?”
That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion." www.cato.org/blog/embarra...
Argument II. The Court Should Stay This Case Pending FDA's Mifepristone REMS Review. Alternatively, the Court Should Dismiss the Case.. A. The Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction.... FDA's actions do not cause "sovereign harm"….. The States' alleged pocketbook injuries do not establish standing.. В. The States cannot sue the Federal Government as parens patriae. Intervenor Plaintiffs failed to administratively exhaust their claims... Challenges to the 2016 Action are time-barred Conclusion 8 8 9 9 10 12 .13 .14 15 .15
OK, I will admit that I have not done any historical review here, but it is wild to me that DOJ is filing a motion to stay and — alternatively — to dismiss the case altogether for three independent reasons. And yet, in the unending mifepristone challenge (now in Missouri), that's what DOJ did today.
People bought special lockable caps to replace OEM to prevent siphoning.
Why car gas tanks are locked.
The 1973 oil embargo triggered inflation, political turmoil and global upheaval. As the Iran war now threatens energy markets again, history shows how quickly an oil crisis can ripple into everyday life.

Hopefully something STICKS to him soon. We need to stop this crazy #DICtator.
Joe Biden:
