When Trump says "we make a lot of money," he's talking about his Big Oil donors.
They spent spent nearly $100M to get Trump elected in 2024, and the investment is paying off quite well for them.
Oligarchy in action.
And who just gave this corporation a pardon?
Donald Trump.
The Trump administration must answer questions publicly under oath in front of the American people, not just behind closed doors.
They don't GAF about copyrights or proprietary 'anything'. My guess is they have little shitlers like the ones that were in DOGE producing this propaganda π© #FDT and his entire regime.
NEW: The Iranian drone strike that killed 6 U.S. troops in Kuwait at the start of the war was far more devastating than previously disclosed.
Dozens suffered traumatic brain injuries, burns, and shrapnel wounds. At least one required an amputation. More than 30 remain hospitalized. (CBS News)
Call it what it is, but Trump's fascism is on clear display. But so is the resistance. Protests are growing and polls are shifting. Hereβs your reminder that the American ideal is stronger than any one man. Deep-dive in my recent Substack article at the link in my reply.
A headline from The New York Times reads: Trump Tries to Sidestep Blame for Any Civilian Deaths in Iran
The buck stops with the President, this is his war of choice.
We are in an unnecessary war that the public doesnβt want, without a clear purpose or endgame.
How should the American people respond? Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-underlying-failure
Democrats must use all leverage possible to try to stop Trump's illegal war in Iran.
We're demanding public hearings.
And will continue to force votes on the Senate floor. π§΅
Another alarm bell in this five alarm fire.
Donald Trump is still trying to relitigate the 2020 election six years later.
He wants to scare election officials and election workers ahead of the midterms.
And heβs using the FBI to do it.
There is still no stated goal for Iran, but the dorks in the WH are putting out some sweet videosβ¦. So they feel like real warriors

So far the war on Iran has cost $9.4 billion.
That's $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
Thousands of lives lost.
People don't want this. They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
The prolonged refusal to commemorate the bravery of our Capitol Police on January 6th was nothing short of shameful.
We must continue fighting attempts to erase or rewrite the history of that dark day.
Evil, corrupt, POS human garbage. #SendBarron #FDT
Graves: Thereβs been reporting that some troops have been told that this is about starting Armageddon.
Warner: I donβt know whether thatβs coming from the White House or just from specific military commanders.
Neguse: It's still unclear as to the ultimate reasons that Trump made that decision. It may be that the corruption that Noem was engaged in embarrassed him. It may be that he was envious of it.
Himes: I have a theory on how this endsβ¦
Youβre going to see oil go across $100β¦ Projections for economic growth are going to go down.
And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And heβs going to declare victory and walk away.
Can you say "CORRUPTION"?! π‘
AOC: He impulsively went in on Venezuela. He impulsively went in on Iran. It led to increased global instability and every time heβs done that, it has been consistent with a spike in what is happening with the Epstein files. I think that he feels existentially tied to it.
AOC: This is about actual crimes happening in front of us. This is about shredding the Constitution and plunging us into war. This is about taking crypto money and money launderingβ¦ So if youβre asking me if Iβd support impeachment, I do
A GOP senator and Capitol Police forcibly remove an anti-war protester, who is running for the Senate as a Green Party candidate, from a Senate hearing.
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, theyβre under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
Trump administration under fire as thousands of Americans are stranded in war zone.
BREAKING: Former President Barack Obama has endorsed YES on Virginiaβs April 21 referendum, calling it a βresponsible, temporary stepβ to protect fair representation as several Republican-led states redraw congressional maps mid-decade to gain an advantage. Early voting begins March 6.
Jayapal: DHS is supposed to be protecting our residents. You have actually turned the United States government against its own residents. Yours is a case of failed leadership secretary, you need to resign, be fired, or be impeached.
Americans stranded in the Middle East say the State Department hotline Marco Rubio told them to call plays a recorded message warning: βPlease do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time.β
