He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Much as I would not dare to predict the consequences of this war, I do think we can summarize it thusly so far: A smart and evil man manipulated a stupid and evil man into a war against a fanatical and evil regime.

Today’s decision out of Rhode Island isn’t getting a lot of attention, but it’s very important. Trump tried to withhold fed’l funds from states that won’t help with his immigration policy & mass deportations. A Judge just told him he can’t do that. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

The Senate's version of Trump's big, ugly bill enacts even stricter Medicaid work requirements. Make no mistake: Medicaid work requirements don't put people to work. They kick people off their health coverage — all to fund tax cuts for the rich. www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzMq...

Indeed. He never has a strategy. He’s incapable of thinking strategically. He’s a malevolent, mendacious, and moronic ordure of narcissistic whim, impulse, and caprice.

ICYMI — Some harsh self-criticism here: “Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. He’s weak and he’s ineffective.” (He was talking about Obama 😬)

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

An important detail about the new job numbers has gone largely overlooked: Excluding 2020, job growth over the first five months of this year has been the worst since the Great Recession. Something to keep in mind as Trump describes recent job growth as “great.” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Anyone obsessed with releasing the Epstein files is telling on themselves. A lot of the victims have already come forward to share what happened to them. But the people who want some official document refuse to believe the victims’ firsthand accounts.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.
