UBC hosted Rachel Maddow to discuss extremism and American global collapse. She brought two decades of research on a man picking trade wars with allies, threatening Greenland, and feuding with Canada’s Prime Minister. The Chan Centre was full. The irony was fuller.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

Oil is not up because of just the war. It’s because Trump has been bat shit crazy in how he has been talking and has made no effort to lay the case out logically.

John Oliver: They claimed Iran was going to attack us, Israel was going to attack Iran, which would have led to them attacking us. Iran was going to assassinate Trump, Iran was going to have nuclear weapons, and we just did this to free the Iranian people out of the kindness of our hearts.

Trump can’t fire Pam Bondi without his entire Epstein coverup finally imploding. But that doesn’t mean we can’t hold her accountable.

When Democrats take back the House this November, I will certainly investigate her.

Loose Talk of β€˜Fake News’ Is Bad for Democracy The secretary of defense shouldn’t pit the military against the media.

Donald Trump has more of a plan for renovating the East Wing Ballroom than he does for starting another war in the Middle East.

The contrast between these two administrations is really something, and is not flattering for the Americans. At all.

Any testimony from her will be contemptuous, evasive and untrustworthy.

But above all else, she is a devoted bootlicker willing to bend the law for Donald Trump.

Calling in the Clinton’s in for a closed-door testimony while ignoring other widely implicated individuals is no mistake. This is an active, and massive, cover-up.

When you start saying some people are entitled to human rights and others aren’t, you’re on a fast track to becoming the kind of monster you fear.

We need to admit it; the house and senate are dysfunctional.

If they truly support the war and wanted to do their constitutional duty, all they would have to do is vote affirmatively to give the President authority to conduct the strikes. But they are too cowardly to do this.

Q: "If those objectives were achieved and the Islamic Republic still existed, would that be an acceptable outcome?"

Q: "The timeline for making the Strait of Hormuz safe for oil tankers…What is that timeline?"

Leavitt: "I don't want to commit to a timeline, but certainly it's something that is being calculated actively."

Justice Dept., Under Pressure From Trump, Fails to Build Autopen Case Against Biden

I take comfort in DOJ’s failure to fabricate crimes, but the effort alone is a disgusting abuse of power.

As stupid as the subpoenas to the Clintons (especially Hillary) were, it laid the groundwork for this.

The Republican Meltdown Over Iran Is Just Beginning Right-wing criticism of Trump’s war has mostly come from familiar MAGA cranks like Steve Bannon and Tucker Carlson. But it could quickly spiral out of control.
