Is it really a war?

Play along with Andrew Heaton's new game show.

Yes they do

WATCH — @katiecouric.bsky.social : “Some 🇺🇸 military commanders have described what’s happening in Iran as a ‘Holy War’, part of God’s divine plan, with references to Biblical prophecy, that Trump has been anointed to cause Armageddon and mark Jesus’ return to Earth.”

'Economic earthquake' batters Trump in new brutal jobs report: MS NOW — Raw Story The Donald Trump administration suffered a fresh embarrassment on Friday morning with the new jobs report revealing what was supposed to show a substantial job increase and instead revealed the countr...

Trump promised a “golden age.”

Instead, the latest jobs report shows the US lost 92K jobs in February not the +50K economists expected.

War abroad. Fuel prices up. Jobs disappearing.

So much for the “booming” economy.

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

Trump to mass death: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The president's shruggy nihilism extends to Iranians, US soldiers, and you.

Trump is not a man remotely bothered by mass death. He simply does not care. Again, such insouciance might not be new when it comes to America’s thirst for war.

But carrying it so openly and inelegantly is something else entirely.

Another 300 Ukrainian defenders are returning home today from Russian captivity. 🇺🇦

1) If you think “the media” is lying to you, start here. The richest people on earth are buying the outlets and the digital gatekeepers that decide what you see. Not because they love journalism.Bcuz narrative control is political power, & political power protects $. #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

A federal judge ordered the Department of Homeland Security to return or replace property taken from unlawfully arrested ICE detainees and released without their belongings, giving the government 30 days to comply.

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

@robertgarcia.bsky.social on Trump's claims of exoneration: "That's a joke. Exonerated by who? No one's exonerated Donald Trump. He's in the Epstein files more than anyone. Mar-a-Lago is oftentimes where they trafficked girls."

Shapiro on SOTU: First off, it was boring. It was poorly delivered, and it was too damn long. This dude, who’s the worst orator of our time, did two hours. He comes off as totally unhinged. He’s like spitting everywhere, and he’s lying constantly about things.

Trump: "A lot of our people were walking around without legs"

Every bit of this is delusional.

They interviewed her four separate times before paying her off. They think we're all as stupid as they are.

QAnon luminaries say they’ve drafted the Trump “national emergency” declaration to scuttle the midterm elections:

Humanity heating planet faster than ever before, study finds Researchers identify sharp rise to about 0.35C every decade, after excluding natural fluctuations such as El Niño

It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.

Pete Buttigieg does it again. He has the makings of the perfect president. He is a veteran. He has a world-class intellect. He has a superb education and yet, he understands that he's not the smartest person in the room and accepts help from the experts.

It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.

Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:

“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”

Hillary Clinton once couldn’t even get a credit card in her own name. Yet some Gen Z women are being algorithm-fed “tradwife” fantasies without understanding the history. Women’s independence isn’t trauma. It’s evolution. #Pinks #Momsky

Beshear: We are building affordable housing in rural America. It looks like the average utility bill for each of those houses is going to be about $50 a month because we’re using solar panels. We’re embracing different parts of green energy in Appalachia.

Today, Michelle and I are proud to announce that we will be hosting the dedication ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center on June 18th in Chicago, and welcoming the public on June 19th.

We can’t wait for you to visit. Go to obama.org to learn more.

A large crowd on day 465 of daily, uninterrupted, nationwide protests in Georgia.
Today’s rally is called “Strength is in Unity,” Georgia’s national motto, following the formation of an alliance among opposition parties.

As I said on @theweekendmsnow.bsky.social this morning, there are costs to doing the president’s bidding. Donald Trump can’t pardon a lawyer back into their bar license.

We call on all lawyers to oppose efforts to undermine our professional ethics.
