Tweet by Aaron Rupar saying Karoline Leavitt confirmed a “ballpark” estimate that 150 U.S. soldiers have been injured fighting Iran. The image shows Leavitt speaking at a White House press briefing with Fox News graphics about the war in Iran.
That's one way for the White House to tell the troops it doesn’t really think of them as individual people.
Trump making America sick again by increasing Americans’ exposure to 12 most dangerous pollutants
including brain-damaging mercury and pesticides in food; cancer-causing PFAS “forever chemicals,” lead, arsenic, and trichloroethylene in drinking water

The New York Times coverage of trans issues has repeatedly resulted in experts and others complaining that their words were twisted and misrepresented... but only those quoted from on trans supportive side have that complaint.
Coincidence or eliminationism? @billiejsweeney.bsky.social dives in.
I love this for her, and I hope she’s afraid every single moment she’s not behind military gates.
The fact that multiple officials can’t live amongst the public, due to their horrible actions, speaks volumes.
Hopefully this is just the first part of the chickens coming home to roost. #resist
Pam Bondi with text “Pam Bondi is said to move to military housing due to threats’
“AG Pam Bondi has quietly relocated to one of several military bases in the Washington area where other Trump administration officials also live, after facing threats from critics of her actions in handling the Epstein case.”
Self inflicted wound.

I gotta say this war has led me to believe that 95% of military spending in the US just goes to defense contractor shareholders and nothing else. Like what do you mean the US just decommissioned its only mine defusing boats in the gulf and there’s no replacements?
WSJ says Trump wants to end this illegal war, but Israel won’t let him. What kind of bizarro world do we live in where another government gets to dictate how long we’re at war? No matter how you feel about Israel, this is madness.
We need reparations for ICE victims.
Anything short of that is setting the stage for a massive wealth grab from people of color that will re-entrench racial disparities for generations.
“.. When past presidents balked at the possibility of war with Iran, they weren’t just dodging a hard choice; they were deterred by all of the obvious reasons a conflict could perilously spiral. Nobody should be shocked that the expected is now coming to pass.”

Chris Murphy: "I Just came from a two hour, closed door classified briefing on the war. It just confirmed to me it's totally incoherent. We are not gonna be able to achieve any of our stated objectives ... this is a disaster of epic proportions, a 10 day debacle"
It now appears clear that Jeffrey Epstein did NOT off himself, based on staff talk overheard by inmates, independent bank reports that large deposits of money were made to the guard in charge at the time, and 2 suspiciously nonfunctioning cameras.

Must have been a great day! 🌞 I would love that! "Good morning, cow, how's your moos this morning?"
When our military is fighting a war Americans don't want, secret police are kidnapping and killing our neighbors, and the regime is working overtime to suppress the vote in the midterm elections, silence isn't an option. No Kings Day on March 28 has to be big, loud, and inescapable.

Jared Kushner helped cover up the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
During Covid he seized PPE to stockpile & took millions in PPP loans.
Then he got $2B from the Saudis.
I'm not suggesting Jared's corrupt as fuck, I'm saying it outright!

JD Vance: " If you're worried about the world spinning out of control, if you're worried about a military draft, if you're worried about, God forbid, a world war, the best way to prevent it is to vote for Trump."
This is some North Korea level propaganda.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
Johnson: I think what we are learning from the Epstein files was a well-coordinated act of treason. If you think about how they use blackmail to get policymakers to act outside of the best interests of this nation and our Constitution, that’s treason.

Imagine the reaction in the US if ~175 schoolgirls had been killed by a targeted Iranian missile. (Or anyone's missile.)
This is an atrocity.
Quick reminder: Epstein.
This is who our President is...
Straight talking ….
Gas prices climbing in real time while 92,000 Americans just lost their jobs. This is what “great again” looks like?
A war-driven price spike at the pump hitting the same workers Trump just put out of work.
#TrumpsJobsSlump
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?
