As a country we have made a lot of mistakes in foreign wars over the last 2+ centuries. But I’m not sure we have ever looked as feckless, foolish, incompetent and ridiculous at the leadership level than right now.
Another hush money payment.
Just throwing anything at the wall at this point
BARTIROMO: Trump had an interesting exchange about troops on the ground. Moms are worried we're gonna have a draft and see their kids get involved in this. What do you want to say about Trum's plan for troops on the ground?
LEAVITT: President Trump wisely does not remove options from the table
WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “I’m saying there are problems with this operation. I don’t know how you could hear me say we struck an Iranian school and there are a bunch of dead kids and just say this is going great.”
Tarrio is, quite literally, a pardoned terrorist.
Counterpoint: Limiting how US troops can be used illegally in unconstitutional wars of the president’s own choosing *IS* supporting “the troops.”
POPULAR INFO: “Saudi Crown Prince MBS reportedly urged Trump to attack Iran — a top regional rival… MBS’s influence with Trump has grown as the Saudi government invested billions in projects that personally enrich Trump & his son-in-law Jared Kushner.” popular.info/p/the-money-...

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.
So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right
Caitlin KALINOWSKI over X I resigned from OpenAl. I care deeply about the Robotics team and the work we built together. This wasn't an easy call. Al has an important role in national security. But surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got. This was about principle, not people. I have deep respect for Sam and the team, and I'm proud of what we built together.
OpenAI head of robotics just resigned over company deal with the Pentagon saying…
“Surveillance of Americans without judicial oversight and lethal autonomy without human authorization are lines that deserved more deliberation than they got”
Unconscionable.
Congress needs to aggressively reassert its authority. Stop this illegal war from becoming even more deadly. Now we know it was likely a U.S. bomb that caused mass casualties at the girls' school in Iran.
No more of our taxpayer dollars funding this savagery.
Pete Hegseth's murderous buffoonery, coming amid a lifetime in which he's betrayed everyone close to him and failed up from one disaster to the next, is a perfect example of how the appeal of Trumpism is that it creates a permission structure for people to openly be their worst selves
Newly released footage shows an ICE agent killing Rubin Ray Martinez, 23, in his car in Texas.
"He was shot at point-blank range through his side window by an ICE agent who was in no danger."

We can throw another $500,000,000,000 at the Pentagon this year and spend $1,000,000,000/day on a wholly useless war, but we can't afford to hire doctors and nurses to take care of our veterans? The United States is such an irresponsible, messed up country right now.
The ProLife Party of family values.
Wow did something happen in the US in January 2025?
DHS nominee Markwayne Mullin is one of the most active stock-traders in the Senate — and violated the STOCK Act against insider trading as recently as last August.
He currently holds stock in L3Harris, which has millions in contracts with ICE and FEMA.
The grift continues.
Trump was just asked if Americans should be worried about retaliatory attacks by Iran within the United States:
“I guess… Like I said, some people will die.”
This 100%, as a former Catholic it grosses me out. This is everything we were taught not to be, everything the Bible warned us about honestly, these kinds of humans.
Nice “Pro Life” party they are. Killing innocent children and then posting propaganda videos on social media sites like they are playing Call of Duty. So disturbing. I’m appalled this is happening and our elected officials continue to let it happen with our money.
Well would you look at that
We are NOT the good guys. Disgusting and immoral that we did this and to release a propaganda video yesterday making this all look like a video game. The “Pro Life” party is a diabolical farce.
Weird how this keeps happening! www.miamiherald.com/news/politic...
This traitor should not speak about why our Founders would want. They certainly wouldn’t want us to elect Ron.
