I don't think you have to Nostradamus to figure that bombing Iran might raise oil prices. And it seems pretty obvious that buying oil in advance of causing an oil price spike might just save Americans a lot of money. But...
...maybe there wasn't much planning?
#FoxNews would have you believing that Trump's jobs numbers are better than President Biden's but that's another lie. America created 1.4 million jobs in the final year of Biden's tenure while Trump lost nearly 200,000 in his first year. Last month, America lost 92,000 jobs in February alone.
ICE is releasing some immigrants from custody, but keeping their personal property. Phones. Keys. Work permits. Documents that prove legal status.
This endangers people's lives. ICE must be held accountable. https://bit.ly/4r0SuV7
RIP Alexander Butterfield
No revelation did more to preserve democracy and thwart a would be dictator than his testimony that Nixon had secretly recorded his own crimes in the Oval Office
And the drama of the moment cannot be recreated www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...
Just killed a man's whole family and accidentally installed him as leader of Iran. We created Super Vengeance Boy and are just assuming he'll leave us alone.
Trump speaking after markets close is usually a sign he’ll say something bad for the economy, and the White House communications team doesn’t want a graph with the line going down and blaring red numbers with a minus sign on the screen with him when he does.
I’m not sure it would never happen. Or that there would be consequences.
"Jews don't belong in American society."
Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.
But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.
Signs you might be a far right authoritarian party (#3329):
If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.
I know we can’t believe anything this administration says but the fact that they refuse to rule out using the draft to bulk up the military for his illegal war from the start IS very alarming, idc how Kkkaroline tries to spin it. 🙄
maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living
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.
Nice of Trump to provide more material for Democratic campaign ads in Hispanic districts
Unforgivable that politicians and news media forced Trump to pay no price for abandoning the Iran nuclear deal in 2018. The Iranians had been complying and his reckless decision is why we're at war now.

🎯🎯
Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.
Gas prices skyrocketing.
Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.
Another war in the Middle East.
Are we great again yet?
What kind of dumb shit take is this?!
Well, imagine that …
Condoleezza rice was seen entering the White House.
War criminals reunion at the White House.
Inspectors General must be independent & nonpartisan. Reports say DOL IG Anthony D’Esposito plans to run for Congress. I asked if he’s running or doing campaign activity while serving as IG. He refused to answer. That is concerning given reports he put his mistress and fiancee’s daughter on payroll.
I wonder how much she fleeced the state of South Dakota for…if I were the current governor, I’d order some audits. 🤔
What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?
Moskowitz: "Let me congratulate the former Homeland Security Secretary on her appointment to be the Shield of Americas, which I'm pretty sure the president came up with when he watched the last Avengers movie"
Remember this when Donald Trump tells you we can’t afford health care.
Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.
But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
Yes, ICE is still at it, and they never stopped.
Two ICE agents abducted a man in Escondido, California, today at 8:00 a.m. after bashing in his car window. (5/2026)

telling myself that this clip was the last straw
