A real video put out by RFK Jr and retweeted by the White House. They cut healthcare to make these cringe videos.

The fact that Hegseth feels the need to attack the press after every question shows how deeply insecure and unhinged he is. His TV studio with soft lighting, his makeup, hype videos, barring photographers from briefings - his sole obsession is how he is portrayed to the public.

He is just making things up, and the whole world knows the truth. The United States has never looked weaker because of these lies and his complete lack of a plan or strategy. Wars cannot be won with gaslighting and Truth Social posts.

Wasn’t this literally the ONE THING that Iran could do in retaliation which literally EVERY expert (or anyone remotely familiar with the region) expected that they’d do to n this scenario??

ICE violence is fueled by misogyny and white nationalism How the Trump administration has mobilized state-sponsored terror in Minneapolis and beyond.

Make no mistake: The thousands of new recruits to ICE, driven by a $100 million β€œwartime recruitment” push, were selected with violence in mind.

AI money is already influencing the midterms. And more is coming. Candidates backed by AI companies have found early success β€” of the 20 candidates in the Texas and North Carolina primaries who received AI funds, only one lost her race.

We really need to get rid of Citizens United.

Cities in Vermont and Maine are experiencing some of the same tactics that ICE has been using across Minnesota since December, and facing lots of resistance.

Farmers see fertiliser price surge as Iran war blocks exports, threatening losses The world's farmers face soaring fertiliser and fuel prices as the war in the Middle East escalates, leaving some ​scrambling for supplies as the spring planting season approaches.

This is going to affect farmers across the world, here in Britain and in the most food stressed areas as well.
Thank you Donald Trump 😑

The US government targeted me for my political speech. It could happen to you, too Mahmoud Khalil argues that his detention by ICE over his pro-Palestinian speech is a dangerous violation of the First Amendment that threatens the free speech rights of all Americans.

Mahmoud Khalil writing in Fox News one year after his detention: β€œThe right to speak our minds, no matter who holds power, is the foundation of our democracy, and it is in peril. Whatever you may think of me or my views, that foundation belongs to all of us.”

It took U.S. years to lose a war in Vietnam. Trump lost one in days. | Will Bunch It's increasingly clear that Trump's war of choice in Iran has failed spectacularly. America learned nothing from past war failures.

Fantastic work, @willbunch.bsky.social:

"In a cruel irony, the loss of public trust in government ... caused Americans to turn to a dictator too lazy to even come up with good fibs this time around. And with no plausible answer to the question, why are we in Iran?"

Palantir CEO Makes Shocking Confession on Disrupting Democratic Power They’re saying the quiet part out loud now.

Palantir offers to give power to working-class men.

Palantir CEO thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of β€œhighly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat” while increasing the power of working-class men.

This will have the ability to disrupt every aspect of our society.

Talarico: "As a former educator, as someone who fought for students & kids in the halls of the Texas Capitol, it makes me sick to my stomach to see our foreign policy take the lives of innocent children in Iran & in the Middle East. It has to end. We need a foreign policy that reflects our values."
