PAPER PLANET: β€œWhile Trump gutted food stamps for the poor and disabled, Hegseth ran up the largest single-month bill in history… $93.4 Billion in September… $6.9 million on lobster tails… they told you there’s no money for health care, there’s plenty.”

@slotkin.senate.gov: I hope you're asking questions about whether Russia was SPECIFICALLY involved in Benjamin Pennington's death. What appears to have been that strike on Prince Sultan seems like one that Iran would have had a hard time pulling off on its own.

Sen. Slotkin: β€œThere's press reports that the Russians are helping target US ships and aircraft…If Russia is helping kill U.S. forces, we have crossed a Rubicon…We have to take decisive action on that, and instead, we're giving them breaks on oil.”

So sorry for what you experienced growing up. What a gift I had in a father known by his WWII buddies and later everyone in our town for real generosity and dependability. You've done the hard analysis, though, and learned a lot that has served you well. All the best to you.

As I had a narcissist father I can tell you this is triggering. Piggy wants three things: 1. To be admired for his β€œgenerosity” 2. To force his gift upon recipients (doesn’t care if they don’t want it) 3. To make these guys look a certain way that pleases him alone, their preferences don’t matter

A Daily Mail story, showing a skyscraper in flames. It reads:

Is the Dubai dream over?
'Dubai is finished': Expats say they will leave and never come back as tax-free dream is shattered by war and officials begin prosecuting people for posting videos of missiles

A Daily Mail story, showing a skyscraper in flames. It reads: Is the Dubai dream over? 'Dubai is finished': Expats say they will leave and never come back as tax-free dream is shattered by war and officials begin prosecuting people for posting videos of missiles

Great news, Brits! The tax cheats are coming home.

This is undoubtedly premature, exaggerated, and, likely, temporary, but the damage to Dubai's brand is no doubt real.

Hurson's order notes that though DHS claimed it took a "hard look" at environmental consequences for the build, they provided no evidence of that beyond posting a public notice on its website about the agency's "proposed activity in a 100 to 500 year floodplain."

Ohio Dems put GOP elections chief on notice for handing voter data to Trump DOJ This isn’t the first time LaRose has danced to DOJ’s tune.

Ohio Democrats blasted the state’s top election official for handing the DOJ the private data of nearly 8 million Ohioans and warned they would fight back against his compliance.

The clash reflects a larger national battle over the department’s push to obtain states’ unredacted voter information.

Oil Tankers Burn Near Iraq As Iranian Strikes Defy Trump's Claim To Have 'Won' The War The conflict has spread across the Middle East and prompted plans for a record release of strategic oil reserves to dampen one of the worst fuel shocks since the 1970s.

Unleashed with joint U.S. and Israeli air strikes on Iran almost two weeks ago, the war has so far killed around 2,000 people and thrown global energy markets and transport into chaos.

But do not forget that the price will **soon** be down to the 19-25 cent per gallon range not seen in this country since the late 1960's.

According to AAA, the average price for a gallon of gas has already risen to $3.59 nationwide β€” the highest ever under Trump.
If prices remain high, families could be forced to pay $1,300 more per year.

If you bank at #CitizensBank this message is for you.

A couple of customers went to the bank to cancel their accounts because they found out they were funding ICE & child prisons

The bank manager refused to close their accounts & said he’d call the police

Time to close your account.

DHS in Chaos as ICE Barbie’s Henchman Forced Out During Power Struggle The man Noem and Lewandowski installed at CBP to oust its veteran boss has cleared out his office.

Daily Beast claims Joseph Mazzara is out, which would be an improvement.

This is a meaningless act in any larger security sense, but it will, no doubt, exert some influence on the quality of future applicants. Really smart young folks may now say "Uum, maybe not the sort of work environment I'm looking for...".
