US military spent $9 million on crab legs and lobster in the months before Iran war
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth also authorized the $100,000 purchase of a Steinway & Sons grand piano for the Air Force chief of staffโs home, according to a watchdog report
I used to work for the government. In order to justify budgets, bad actors overspend at the end of the fiscal year. So the administration spent $93B on bullshit to justify massive Pentagon budget proposals, all while gutting health care and food assistance. www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...

Mike Johnson rails against โSharia lawโ while pushing the same idea: government enforcing religious doctrine.
He just wants his religionโs rules instead.

Pressed on religious bigotry, Speaker Johnson makes an ugly problem even worse
It would have been easy for the GOP leader to say, โThe Republican Party does not support religious bigotry of any kind.โ He chose a more radical path.
Asked about House GOP membersโ overt anti-Muslim bigotry, it wouldโve been easy for Speaker Mike Johnson to say, โThe Republican Party does not support religious bigotry of any kind.โ
He instead made an ugly story worse with ridiculous โSharia lawโ nonsense.

As a congressman, Markwayne Mullin made not one but two solo trips to Afghanistan, ignoring State Department warnings so he could play action hero.
Heโs a former amateur MMA fighter, not a veteran.
If heโd been captured or injured, American troops wouldโve had to risk their lives to bail him out.

I honestly didnโt know there were leaders and structure built around not shopping at Target.
I thought it was just people who donโt like what Target has been doing with DEI and ICE and decided not to go there anymore.
I donโt think thatโs changing if Target hasnโt.

A foreign hacker likely has the Epstein Files.
The best way to prevent blackmail of government officials, such as trump and Howard Lutnick, would be for AG Pam Bondi to stop the cover up and release all the Epstein Files as required by law.

The split within Trump's voting base over Iran is very real.
Media figures whose income depends on agreeing with dear leader are still onboard publicly, but at the grassroots level, the tentative Trump voter is not into foreign wars and deporting their honest neighbors.

@repstansbury.bsky.social calls for full transparency w/the Epstein Files, incl. why no search was done in NM at Epsteinโs Zorro Ranch.
We also talk the need to impeach Trump for the war in Iran & why we must learn from the civil rights movement in our efforts to resist.

That evaporated any goodwill and made more enemies. Now we have a more hardline leader who wants to avenge his slain wife and father. Did I mention that Russia is now involved in helping Iran target American troops? Great going, geniuses.

That's because Trump and Netanyahu were too stupid to do it right. If they had truly wanted regime change, they would have smuggled in weapons for dissidents to take on the well armed Revolutionary Guard.

Iranians rethink the price of regime change
Destructive US and Israeli war and Islamic republicโs resilience have alarmed even those who supported foreign intervention
Iranians hate their regime. But the US-Israel war on Iran is driving thousands to reconcile themselves to it. After thousands were killed in a brutal crackdown on anti-regime protests in Iran in Jan, Mandana gave up hope for reform from within. She came to the conclusion that the Islamic republicโs

The $30 million comes in the form of political contributions, property visits, stock holdings and donations to White Hou
Trump has raked in at least $30 millionโฆfrom his own cabinet.
20 members have funneled millions right into Trumpโs pockets through political donations, visits to his properties, stock holdings in his companies, and other donations.

We Stopped Feeding the World to Buy Lobster
The administration gutted global aid in the name of fighting government waste. At the same time, the Pentagon spent millions on steak, crab, furniture, and even a $98,000 piano.
DOGE said it was cutting government waste.
So they gutted USAID โ the agency that feeds starving people around the world.
Meanwhile the Pentagon spent millions on lobster, ribeye, and even a $98,000 piano.
