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.

The United States never has enough money to keep people alive at home but always has enough money to kill people overseas.

AMEN

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

from today’s post, on the successful mass protests across the country, and Donny’s pathetic little shit-show in DC — please read the whole thing, thanks! link is here: bit.ly/4e2qHil (and as always, there's a longer excerpt in the alt text)

An advance look at “On Parade,” David Plunkert’s cover for next week's issue. #NewYorkerCovers

Double.

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.”

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

This. There's been no major deaths or looting or mass criminal action. This is an absurdly over reactive response that serves to only escalate the situation while making time to either break federal law or abuse power of the office.

DEAN: What's the tariff on bananas? LUTNICK: Generally 10% DEAN: Walmart has already increased the cost of bananas by 8% LUTNICK: If you build in America, there is no tariff DEAN: We cannot build bananas in America

Yes.

So fking real

Rachel Cohen on resigning from Skadden: I would say to people: We’re going to end up staffed on financings to help prison corporations expand the Guantánamo Bay camp. Every single person I said that to responded, “Oh, don’t say that.” Not one person said, “No, we won’t.” A few even said, “Yes.”

Are we great yet?

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Pence: "Individuals who broke into the Capitol, who assaulted police officers...should have been prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law...The heroes on January 6 were all wearing uniforms...To have pardoned the people who assaulted police officers that day, was wrong."

Statement from the #MusiciansUnion of the United States 🇺🇸 and #Canada 🇨🇦 to the fat bastard #BruceSpringsteen #TaylorSwift

On FB I asked: “Who do you blame for Walmart raising prices because of tariffs” You wouldn’t believe how many morons are saying ‘Walmart.’

Justice Jackson nails where we are right now: “Your argument turns our justice system into a catch me if you can kind of regime from the standpoint of the Executive where everybody has to have a lawyer and file a lawsuit in order for the government to stop violating people’s rights.” 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯

GOP Rep. Dusty Johnson on Qatar gifting Trump a luxury plane: "I don't like it. There's a reason that people can't even buy me a steak dinner. It's not necessarily that you can prove I have an ethical problem, it's that the appearance of it doesn't look great."

Speak Truth.....

"Under this deal, it will now be cheaper to import a U.K. vehicle with very little U.S. content than a USMCA compliant vehicle from Mexico or Canada that is half American parts. This hurts American automakers, suppliers, and auto workers."

Granddaughter of a Navy vet. Daughter of a Navy vet. Mother of an Army soldier. Not one damn dime should be spent on a military parade for a draft dodger…

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS. Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!” Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

It was always performative outrage.

People are talking about his Pope trolling and Alcatraz, rather than the billion dollar corruption scheme.
