Pete Hegseth has no idea what he is doing Just past 8:00 this morning, the Secretary of Defense, who now insists on being called the Secretary of War, walked into the Pentagon Press Briefing Room dressed like a parody of American power. His n...

The smell of shit The expression “American exceptionalism” has been on my mind lately as I witness the disintegration of what made the United States an exceptional nation.

“The rot is otherworldly. Donald Trump and his minions are fascists, and fascists love war. In fact, fascism and war are inseparable. War is the lifeblood of fascism.”

In contrast to the coverup of the EPSTEIN crimes here in America, there are ongoing investigations in the UK, France, Turkey, Poland, Latvia & Lithuania that is sure to expose his central, filthy role in the largest crimes against humanity case in world history. #AccountabilityIsComing

The DOJ's Shameful Abuse of Power Must Be Reined In The weaponizing of the department to do Trump’s bidding
has dangerously undermined its credibility.

Congress should heed the demands of the civil-rights organizations calling for more oversight of the Department of Justice—before it’s too late.

Mockery as Trump baffles with Iran reversal: 'You could say the mission was accomplished'

Mike Johnson does tricks on that thing for Trump: "He is the most active president. The most energized president. The most successful president I believe in my lifetime ... he doesn't require a lot of sleep."

You need to stop thinking of the market as anything but your mortal enemy. They have already bought in to the idea of the merger of state and corporate power. None of this actually means anything; all that matters is that their bank accounts are limitless, and the material reality of competitors.

It's obnoxious how Trump can just say "be cool" and the market swoops in to save him from himself, but that bill will eventually come due for normal people.

US-Israeli strike on girls' school kills at least 85 students, Iran's judiciary says At least 85 students have been killed in US-Israeli strikes that hit an Iranian girls' school in Hormozgan province, Iran's judiciary said on Saturday. Washington has not commented on the reported str...

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

america is all about starving cuba and killing 1 million arabs annually and giving 10 trillion dollars to israel and if you complain about that you’ll be put in a concentration camp

Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”

OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters."

Russians are providing military technology to Iranian proxies

My prediction:

We are on the precipice of another TACO moment.

Just like ‘liberation day’ last April, someone (Bessent?) is gonna get a hold of Trump tomorrow and tell him the economic lights are flashing red again, this time thanks to his war on Iran.

Stephen Miller tweet: If young men don’t want to be drafted to fight in Kamala’s and Cheney’s 3rd World War they better get out and vote for Trump.

This tweet has aged about as well as, well, Stephen Miller.

the average cis person would have to be admitted into a psych ward if they suddenly had to manage the regular stress of day-to-day that we all face with the added pressure of being a tranny and having the Entire World focus on trying to kill you almost every day

Good news, no-one can afford oil anymore.

I hope every charlatan individual and institution that has caved to Donald Trump in some way/shape/form is sweating bullets at the rage that is building across this country.

They should be nervous.

Our anger won't be limited to Trump.

We will never forget who abetted this idiot and his chaos.

Though it is day, the sun cannot be seen in Tehran today because of all the smoke following the US and Israel bombing Tehran's oil refineries. People on the ground describe it as armageddon. History will not forgive Reza Pahlavi, Masih Alinejad, Nazanin Boniadi, and all other "leaders" who tricked Iranians into thinking this war would set them free.

Oh my god: this is *daytime* in Tehran.

Trump says rising oil prices ‘a very small price to pay’ for ‘safety and peace’ President Trump said Sunday that increasing prices of oil are “a very small price to pay” for “safety and peace” amid the U.S. conflict with Iran. “Short term oil prices, which will drop rapidly wh…

Have we ever had an instance where an American President was solely, single-handedly responsible for such a massive spike in oil/gas prices?

He owns this catastrophe from top to bottom.

No one else.

As I've been saying for more than a decade:

For EU's energy & geopolitical security,

Speed up our energy transition!

More efficiency & renewables instead of more dependencies.

EPP & oldskool (German) industry: economic pain from delaying & weakening the Green Deal etc is on you.

Kharg Island: Iran’s oil lifeline that Donald Trump has left untouched How US deals with crucial export hub could shed light on its longer-term strategy towards Iran

FT coverage is just so good at a time like this at explaining stuff in a really concise, clear way. www.ft.com/content/1355...

Trump takes credit for rising gas prices

Kids' willpower is no match for fast food and screens. Try this instead For decades, parents were told to help children build willpower like a muscle, to resist things like junk food and too much time on their screens. But new research suggests a better strategy.

Gilt yields surging, oil and gas prices soaring, wider systemic impact transmitted through food prices and everything else.

Iran didn't need a nuclear weapon to create mayhem. It just needed an idiot US President.

And as for those who backed him- eyes open yet?

Iran names Mojtaba Khamenei as supreme leader to succeed late father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Euronews correspondent Jane Witherspoon reports Trump has called the appointment “unacceptable” saying he “won’t last long”.

Trump’s Fed Regulators Rewrite the History of the Silicon Valley Bank Collapse Before every financial crisis, there is a concerted effort to argue that this time is different.

Efforts to whitewash recent banking history is an unnecessary sidebar that fuels culture-war grievances while an opportunity for real justice remains on the table. buff.ly/Q8rSjvj
