Exclusive | Trump Sons Back New Drone Company Targeting Pentagon Sales Powerus says it plans to acquire Ukrainian drone technology to sell to the U.S. military.

So despicable and disgusting. Americans are risking their lives overseas, and the Trump family is cashing in! There is no bottom with these people!

Hegseth is just not a serious person. He acts like a mix of an amped up Fox News host and a guy trying to sell you his used car. The 60 Minutes interview is alarming.

Oil prices hitting $110. Enjoy paying $6 for a gallon of gas because Trump had a feeling.

Iran names Khamenei’s son as his successor. Trump being publicly against this was probably the clincher.

Trump started this war with no clear objectives, no endgame, and no plan for oil after he had disparaged Biden for low stockpiles, and did nothing to fill the US reserve. This is incompetent madness!

Americans Are Now a Target in Trump’s Immigration Crackdown A WSJ investigation tracked the U.S. citizens caught in the crosshairs of an aggressive federal campaign to detain and demonize dissenters.

Great reporting by the WSJ.

"Of the 279 people accused by officials on X of attacking federal officers in the past year, 181 were U.S. citizens. Close to half of those Americans were never charged. None have been convicted at trial."

A National Intelligence Council report completed in February assessed that even a large-scale military assault on the country would be unlikely to topple Iran’s government, per NYT.

Putin is literally helping Iran target US troops. At this point Republicans, if you don’t stand up to Trump, you’re just goddamn traitors!

Donald Trump on....

* gas prices
"If they rise, they rise."

* U.S. troops
"Some people will die. When you go to war, some people will die."

Snuck into Peggy Noonan's WSJ op-ed: "There's Reaons to Worry About the Iran War" on Hegseth

She also adds:
"If I were in Congress, would I vote right now to support the administration’s action in Iran? I think not, due to the severity of some of the possible repercussions outlined above."

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say The targeting information has included the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, the officials said.

Incredible! Russia is giving Iran intelligence to target Americans, Ukraine is helping us learn how to counter drones. And yet Trump is beholden to Putin! And Republicans do nothing!

Trump has been whining and threatening Powell about lowering interest rates for the past 14 months. TRUMP’S WAR has caused the 10 year Treasury yield to reach its highest level since Feb 2025! HE caused this!

The AAA national average price for a gallon of unleaded gas has jumped another 7 cents overnight to $3.32. The price per gallon has now gone up by $0.34 or 11.4% since Trump started his war.

Just remember, come November, Trump started this war with no clear goals, objectives, or exit plan. House and Senate Republicans green lit him continuing, with no checks from Congress. They own this now!

Just awful job numbers for February. US lost 92,000 jobs, expectation had been a gain of 50,000 jobs. Trump is killing our economy and his war is going to make it that much worse!

Tim Walz: β€œNoem should probably get used to spending more time in Minnesota.”

(And he doesn’t mean visiting. He means find a lawyer. Lesson to ALL of this regime!)

Noem handpicked contractors to lead a $100 million ICE recruitment campaign, sources say The DHS secretary decided the contracts instead of allowing a competitive bidding process, according to three administration officials and internal communications reviewed by NBC News.

NBC: two firms handpicked by Noem, People Who Think and Safe America Media, were not only given a $220 million contact for her videos, but also a $100 million no bid contract to recruit 10k ICE officers, even though there were less expensive option.

Anthropic is the first U.S. company to be designated a supply chain week (yes, unprecedented), and Hegseth did it while the Pentagon is literally using Anthropic's AI in Trump's Iran war.

There's a way to celebrate the firing of an awful person, without using sexist language to describe her. Go that way please.

NEW: TRUMP FIRES NOEM.
Not for her cruelty and incompetence mind you. She said he had approved her $200 million self promo budget. That, he didn’t like.
Great timing too in the middle of a war.
